I'm stuck on the Pagans mission where I have to aquire the paw, I've got
to the altar and can apply the moss and water to it and a blue cloud
effect occurs (indicating atleast I'm on the right track).

Trouble is I need to get blood on alter but can't find the right way of
doing it. I've tried alerting the creaure which walk round it to attack
me but all that achieves is a very quick (2x swipes) death. Tried
laying a mine on the alter and attracting the creature to it with noise
arrow, sill noting happens.

I have no offensive arrows left only a poxy dagger for melee and no idea
how the hell to proceed! There a particular trick to this (ie something
specific you have to do)??

If you killed one of the creatures in the prior rooms pick up their body and
throw it on the blood stone.

Can't remember exactly but if that doesn't work look for a human corpse.
Either way you need to drop a body on the stone.

Here's how I did it. Lie in wait at the entrance to the cave. Shoot
out the torch there to hide yourself. Ready a noise arrow. Save,
because the creature has to be in exactly the right position to bleed
on a specific part of the platform (which is the plateau closest to
the tree). If it's not perfect, it won't work. The creature's
default path is to circle the room, so wait until it's in front of
you, but you still have a clear shot at the tree. Shoot the tree with
the noise arrow, and when he's close to the tree, nail him with one or
two broadhead arrows. If it works, the tree will glow blue a bit to
let you know. Be ready to switch to fire arrows because it won't take
long for him to know where you are and come after you. One or two
arrows may be req'd to finish him depending on difficulty level. This
took me about 4 tries, which is why I suggest saving first.

You may want to do this before the water and moss arrows. The order
you feed the items to the tree doesn't seem to matter.

Thanks to both of you who responded, I used pythons method because I had
no broadhead arrows left. First I thought it wasnt working until I
realised the body I used wasnt dead (just unconcious, but soon solved
with a quick slice :-O ).

Now I'm up to the maze of the keepers base, lots and lots of places to
go and things to do... ;-)

Over all I'm enjoying T-DS more than I expected too, I think its because
it slightly easier than the 1st 2 games (atleast playing it on normal
seem to be). I havent plucked up courage to try on hard yet, even
though last level I easily surpassed the "hard" criteria for level
completion (I only missed 7% of the loot).

Off to slice a purse (or throat) or 2....

I think the best way is to use the dead body that's conveniently
stashed in the dark area to the right of the tunnel entrance. Carry it
down, throw on the altar (aim high), stick a knife in it. Done.

This way you can complete the mission without registering any kills.
