you can always baneful guantlet the guy, but I don't know if the game credits you for killing him that way! Theres something about coming up through the sewers in his back room. Parmanian
Give the Baneful Gauntlets to an NPC (by dropping it for NPCs that move, or by pickpocketing it to the NPC), wait for it's full effects, and if the NPC isn't dead, pickpocket it back then repeat. Works with a number of hexed items...
I guess you haven't been to the isle of despair and killed the sorcerous beast yet? thats where the gauntlets are. Just pickpocket and place quantlets in their side of screen and watch them die! If you want you can revive them after the dirty dead and they don't know any better. Parmanian
Even easier: Drop the Gauntlets on the ground and let the victim pick them up for himself. Though if you're trying to kill Pollock, you might have a real job getting them past the door without him and his gane going hostile.
he lets you walk right in when you come by the way of the sewers, but I don't think he would move to pick up the guantlets! I always pickpocket them to him Parmanian
He lets you walk into the little closet from the sewers, and will even talk to you and treat you as part of his gang. But open the closet door and walk into the main room and he'll go hostile.
only did it that one time and I can't remeber it going into a fight, but alsheimers setting in!! Parmanian
thats what magnus is for! Just stockpile all them traps and trap springers, then let him go if you don't want to keep him! Parmanian
