Peartree House: Difference between revisions

The entrance to Peartree House is located close the huge outdoor staircase ({{Coords|32|-96}}), near [[Felogyr's Fireworks]] and the back wall of the [[Sorcerous Sundries]]. The doors are nailed up with wooden boards, and a [[Flaming Fist]] 'Area under Investigation' triangle stand in front of entrance informs that the area is restricted. However, there are no Fists or coroners inside. In the mailbox a [[Soul Coin]] can be found.

The staircase and nearby streets are patrolled by a group of Flaming Fists accompanied by a [[Steel Watcher]], which all will become temporarily hostile if spot the party damaging the barricade or entering Peartree House. Using means of [[Invisibility]] or spells like {{SAI|Fog Cloud}} is recommended.

Inside the house the party shall see already familiar crime scene: the corpse of [[Franc Peartree]] without a hand, and a bloody symbol of the Absolute daubed on the wall. The only thing that can be looted from Peartree's corpse is a note that claims poor man was killed for helping ''the lordling''. As the player already knows, this disdainful sobriquet is used by [[Orin the Red]] when speaking of [[Enver Gortash]].

The only room is rather simply furbished and has poor loot around it. In the far corner, under the bench lies a copy of [[Bloodstained Parchment]] with the list of murder targets. It requires a {{Ability check|Perception|0}}, so any member of the party shall spot it at once.

However, near the bench is a hatch leading to actually important part of Peartree House. It is covered by [[Traveller's Chest]], which has to be moved aside to gain access. The hatch is locked {{Ability check|Sleight of Hand|15}}, but one of the bookcases in the opposite corner contains a key ([[Peartree's Hatch Key]]).

Another {{Ability check|Perception}} (this time DC 20) is required to find some loose planks in the floor, where [[Peartree's Chest Key]] is hidden (see below).
