There are two ways: Follow it through the quest given to you later in the game. Enter through the secret passage west of Dernholm. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: friend_al_23 on 2001-10-09 11:42 ]</font>
Is there anything to do in those pits for a good aligned character (ie one following good storyline)?
Yes there is. But you need high persuasion for it. When my diplomat character (with a mastery in persuasion) asked the guard to let her into the pit he wouldn't. She then started cursing him out after which he threw her into the pit. EDIT: whoops, I misread your question. Whether there's anything to do there for a good character I don't know. I got my ass pounded in there and reloaded to an earlier save. :smile: <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Shadowman on 2001-10-09 21:36 ]</font>
You can always just go directly to the backdoor of the Pit, in which case you screw all the scripting up (way lazy or forgetful scripting there). There's a Desecrator there, but he isn't all that hard. The only annoying part is a bunch of traps right before the desecrator that cause you to drop your weapons. I couldn't spot them, even with expert spot traps, and flow spectrometer. Anyway, right past the descrator, is Tolo and he'll speak to you as if you had been assigned the quest to find him.
I never actually go in there for a long time. I just went there to see if I can really get there. You can get there through the other entrance which is suppose to be the exit.
