Act Three[edit section | visual editor]

The corpse of Franc Peartree without a hand, is on the floor of Peartree House near main entrance at X: 32 Y: -96. The only thing that can be looted from it is a threatening letter.

Franc Peartree is a victim of the serial killer DolorDolor, who is murdering people to become an Unholy Assassin of BhaalBhaal, the God of Murder. Peartree's name is on a Bloodstained Parchment among other planned victims, marked Killed.

If communed with using Speak with DeadSpeak with Dead spell, Peartree's corpse does not tell anything important, except that he had been feeding the barracks' inhabitants and was impelled to retire after injury. Everything else concerning him and the possible causes of his murder can be discovered while visiting the basement of his house.

Letters in the basement hint that Enver GortashEnver Gortash contacted Peartree after his retirement and blackmailed him into his covert armsdealing, presumably due to Franc's multiple contacts among Flaming Fists of different ranks.

The threatening letter on Peartree's body claims that the man was killed for helping the lordling. As it goes, this scornful moniker is used by Orin the RedOrin the Red when speaking of Gortash.

  2. A copy of this threatening letter addressed to Franc Peartree is in the mailbox of the Rainforest's Home (house of another murder victim), - obviously a mistake.
