Q4G1 VGA version questions here. So I made it to the room with the tables. I close the door, wait for the three guards to see me and move off, push the chair in front of the right door, push the candelabra down to block the three coming behind the table, wait for them to go around to jump on the table and click the rope to swing through them to the left set of doors. All good so far.

However, when I try to click the door in back to escape the room, I'm mobbed by three more bandits from the left door. Nothing I've thought to try has worked (including lowering processor cycles with Ctrl-F11 and lowering game speed). The first time I click it drops the chandelier on the bandits in the center, but then I'm told I should 'protect my flanks'. What am I doing wrong?

That sounds right, I tried to double check but for some reason I can't load my save file for that room (Something to do with that update that didn't work, guess I'll just have to un-install and re-install.

Only thing I can think of to try different is to click on the door on the left where they come out but you shouldn't need to do that since the hero normally kicks that door shut at the end of his swing. (EGA version anyway)

I finally got it to work. Apparently what I needed to do was move over to the right door while the guards looked at me, then move the chair as soon as they left. I was waiting by the entry door till they left then moving the chair.

Doing it that way, I was able to drop the chandelier on the three and click the back door before the other arrived.
