    How do I accomplish this? I figure I need to 'betray' him and sell the journal to Appleby, but then what?

    Well, Bates will hardly sell you his house, you'll have to get rid of him :)

    Well, I figured that bit out.
    What I meant was AFTER he is 'gone', who should I speak with?

    Some guy in front of the place in Tarant where you give the skulls to, also the place where you buy manuals.

    Why would you want Bates' house though, the property tax is so high...

    That's what Bates' should make next, a steam-driven bong. I could hack a schematic, put a steam engine and a water jug together and you get it. You use it and everyone in your party gets -1 st, -1 cn, +2 ch, -8 dx, +4 be (they can't tell anymore) -2 wp, -4 pe, -1 in, eats all the food your carrying, the screen color shifts, and you all go twice as fast.

    oh dear god... Blinky... if you will hack that schematic I'll make that findable in the world I'm laying out... and for that matter, if anyone else has Schematics I'll put them in... no matter how... odd... they are... a steam driven bong... shouldn't we have something so you can make coke and a steam powered coke straw? or somethin to that effect? heh... we'll build ourselves a drug underworld!!

    Yea, the Thieves Underground will start smuggling into Tarant. :eek: :D :lol:

    Try this:
    Crack Pipe
    Theraputics

    Large Metal Pipe
    Dwarven Snuff

    You equip it where you equip shields

    +3 St
    -5 Cn
    -1 Dx
    -2 Be
    -4 In
    -4 Wp
    +7 Pe
    -1 Ch
    +21 Speed
    Each time someone attacks you they take 1-3 Fire damage from burning themselves on your pipe


    Turns out, it's not that bad for gun-fighters, which is basically saying all the crackheads in the game should own guns. :/

    Most of the crackhead in the world *do* own guns.
    Just look at the American Gun Association and they don't even need drugs.

    You know... someone on the effect of crack does NOT have more perception.

    American Gun Association? don't you mean the National Rifle Association? or is there a gun club which I don't belong to? :-o

    Ach bother. Yes, I meant Rifle, not gun.
    That's what I get when I write stuff when I should be sleeping.

    Hey, crack can make people nervous, nervous people check lots of stuff. That's how it goes. Oh, and when you unequip crack pipe you go through withdrawals and pass out :p
