	Light is usually the bane of thieves everywhere, but there are times when you need just a little to make your way around. To this end, some thieves carry a covered lantern with a hood that can be closed to block out the light. To use the lantern, select it in inventory and hit Use. This will lift the cover if the lantern is currently off, or close the cover if it is currently lit. There is also a hotkey for using the lantern; by default this is {{key\|L}}.

	# There are two climbing controls - if you jump while in front of a ledge or furniture then you will climb (mantle) from the top of the jump. There is also a separate mantle-only control so if the mantle fails you do not drop back and make a noise. You need to be in the correct position to mantle so adjust if it fails. In particular, note that the mantle is view-sensitive. This means you should look at the edge you want to climb, eg, to climb on a chair, look down at the seat then press the mantle control. By this means you can clamber over relatively low but awkward obstructions and even select one ledge above/below another.		# There are two climbing controls - if you jump while in front of a ledge or furniture then you will climb (mantle) from the top of the jump.
