Questions about the Skinner Murders

Remove all ads!

I didn't really see anything from search that answered mt question, hence the new topic.

So far, all I have is the conversation with Rose Bouquet about the scents. I went to talk to the tanner and got nowhere. Is there someone else I need to talk to to get this quest kick-started?

 

There should be a begger near the archway about halfway down the map that you should talk to, and a merchant in the same small square as Rose.

 

When you say you talked to Rose about the scents, presumably that means she's already implicated the tanner. If so, after you went to the tanner, he probably sent you packing.

Shoot an arrow at him. Or whack him with a sword. Or punch him. That'll get the rest of the quest going, with no rep lost. (He runs down the stairs, and you have to follow him...SPOILER: Find Traps, muy importante..)

There is also a little boy that you need to talk to. I forget his name, but he is a couple of screens left of the merchant and Rose. He will tell you that he thinks that Mrs. Cragmoon (sp?; complete guess on name, probably wrong). She is by the deserted house on the far left. After she denies it, go talk to the tanner. In my games, she only showed up certain times of the day (around mid-day IIRC).

 

It' not necessay to talk to the little boy, I think that talking to two people is enough to gather evidence. I talked to Rose and the beggar and everything went just fine.

 

Is there some ability restriction in doing this quest? I tried to talk to the beggar but he would never tell me anything except "Come back when you're famous" or something like that (don't know the exact words in the English version). I had to whack the tanner to get the quest revealed.

Camlan - maybe you have to have over a certain reputation for him to talk to you? I don't know about you, but I've always had a reasonably high reputation when I do that quest - about 14 or 15 or so.

 

Okay, it's done. Thanks for the tips. All I can say is Peeyew!

 

Wildfire -

I checked my reputation and it is 11 -not very high- so I suppose it has to do with reputation. Thanks

 

I didn't think the city guard bloke (can't recall his name) would go to investigate unless you'd gathered all the 3 pieces of evidence?

You can still do the rest, but no additional exp + gold from retrieving his body.

 

The Investigator only needs 2 pieces of evidence, the scent and the piece of elephant hide from the beggar. If you get the 2 pieces of evidence, you can talk to the investigator....

If you get the investigator to investigate, he goes to the tanner's house and gets murdered. You can find his body on the second floor, in a cupboard next to the stairs that go down. Once you've scared the tanner away and killed the assasins and ghouls (on the 3rd floor), bring the investigator's body to the Council of Six building in the government district. Take the corpse to Chief Investigator Brega, you get xp and I think you get money too.
