I have a couple questions about Tarant. 1. How do you get into the locked room in the sewers? (the one with the steam engine and several barrels) 2. Where are the best places to go to find/buy schematics?
2. Gunsmith and smith, also the inventor next to main street and the foreman in a factory. Unfortunately unless you use shopkeeper inventory hack interesting schematics will appear very rarely.
1. Method A: Go topside to Wiloughsby's house. Go to his bedroom. Use the trapdoor. Method B. Dynemite. A piece of advice: switch NPC's to less valuable swords to avoid damaging weapons on spiders. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Lethran on 2002-02-18 14:32 ]</font>
Method C for the steamengine room in the sewers.. 20+ dexterity, mastery lockpicking and auto skeleton key. It may not require quite that much, but that is definitely enough. Also, sword of air will go through those spiders like butter, and will either take no damage from them, or only 1 point per hit.
It won't take a lot of time; just a few clicks on dialog options. The result is you get 500 at once, and after that you can talk to citizens in Tarant (not guards, not shopkeepers, and no one in the boils. Also you don't want to get too close to those thieves), and they'll recognize you as the surviver of the accident and give you some money (about 100 I think). But each citizen will only pay you once per game. In one of my older games they seem to be reset - that I can ask for money again. But that doesn't happened in some other games. Some said this will cause you more trouble - e.g. more assassins, attackers in bar / inn. I don't know if that's the consequence of selling your story.
There is an entrance around the area where the item identifier is . Look on your area map screen and you will know what I mean . There is an abandoned house there and a trap door in there that leads to the main sewer line. The houses of both gang leaders have an acess also.
Well this may depend on your charisma and persuasion level but I have always been able to say "Er... no. You must be mistaken" In Ashbury though the people get angry and they think you are accusing them of lying. Although everybody there seems friendly enough, unless you ask the ladies in the blue dress in the bar that you would like a kiss, then they get very close to slapping to you =
