Ok so I am having some difficulty getting my last rep.

You have 1 rank in the Lock Mastery skill.
You need 63 training points to earn your next rank.
The Training Administrator told you to pick some easy boxes under a variety of conditions.
You have 1 repetition remaining for this task.

Parchment Reads

Glancing at the scrap of parchment, you see that your current room assignment is to find a room with dark lighting and no fog.

I have tried everything that I can think of here is an example

Town Square, South Alley]
This narrow alleyway passes crookedly between the old wood and stone walls of the surrounding buildings, providing a shaded byway from the busy road to the south to a small park nestled in a grassy niche to the north. An occasional stray mutt sniffs around the foundations, searching for rats or morsels.
Obvious paths: north, south


With a seasoned eye, you begin to examine both yourself and the area in an attempt to ascertain the current conditions for lockpicking...

>
After a thorough examination, you determine that you are in excellent shape, physically. As far as you can tell, the area around you is rather dark.

>disarm chest
>
You carefully begin to examine an enruned silver chest for traps...

You discover no traps.
Roundtime: 19 sec.
>
>get lockpick
You remove a copper lockpick from in your locksmith's pouch.
>pick chest with copper lockpick
You settle into the difficult task of picking the lock.
You make a good attempt (d100=75).
You struggle with the chest. As you do, you get a sense that the chest has a rudimentary lock (-50 thief-lingo difficulty ranking). Then...CLICK! It opens!

What am I doing wrong? Does it take more then one attempt to get that last rep? I got the others on the first try?

>read parch
Glancing at the scrap of parchment, you see that your current room assignment is to find a room with extremely bright lighting and no fog.

I swear I found an old thread somewhere that listed various room conditions around the landing. I've now lost the link and I have scoured over the landing for the last 20 minutes looking for an extremely bright room but keep finding only averages.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks, I will keep an eye out for those scrolls.

Town Square East actually had bright conditions, so I was able to nervously get that task taken care of.

My latest task is this:
You have 1 rank in the Lock Mastery skill.
You need 52 training points to earn your next rank.
The Training Administrator told you to use some decently challenging boxes to practice your latest trick for an audience.
You have 5 repetitions remaining to complete this task.

How many people constitute an audience?
What places would you suggest and any tips. The last thing I want to do is make a big oops in a really large area and get a bad reputation.
I am currently residing in the Landing.

I am fully doubled trained in the requisite skills if that matters (at 17th)

Thanks,

If I remember correctly, guild members count as 2 for audience purposes and guild masters count as 3.
