== Overview == | |||
By the time party reaches [[Act Three]] locations, Peartree is already dead and his home is a restricted area. | |||
==Upper Room== | ===Upper Room=== | ||
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 {{SmRarityItem|Soul Coin}} can be found. | 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 only room is rather simply furbished and has poor loot around it. In the far corner, under the bench lies a copy of {{SmRarityItem|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. Through {{Quest|Investigate the Murders}} it is revealed later on that Franc Peartree was murdered by {{CharLink|Dolor}} a {{CharLink|Bhaal|Cultist of Bhaal}}, who wants to become an Unholy Assassin of Bhaal. | The only room is rather simply furbished and has poor loot around it.

The basement consists of the study to the south of ladder and small workshop to the east. <ref>Two letters from Gortash can be found in the basement. Both indicate that Franc Peartree was blackmailed by the Archduke nominee into distributing weapons and armour for his armsdealing network. Other books around the room suggest that the house owner studied deeply the matters of infernal planes and bargaining with their inhabitants.</ref>. | The basement consists of the study to the south of ladder and small workshop to the east. <ref>Two letters from Gortash can be found in the basement.

In the study (turned into | In the study (turned into a sacrifice chamber) lies the dead body of [[Courageous Little Kimmabeth]], a human who was clearly larger than average. His intestines are trailed over the floor, and his heart is burning in a brazier filled with magical green fire. Kimmabeth can be looted of one of Orin's Ritual Letters, {{SmRarityItem|Yaga-Shura, the Second}}, and the {{SmRarityItem|Clown's Severed Arm}} (an item for the quest {{Quest|Find Dribbles the Clown}}). Also, a {{SmRarityItem|Longsword +1}} can be pulled out of his body. Further in the study lies another dead body. | ||
The workshop has several stands with many weapons (all common, except Longsword +1) lying around and some pieces of armour (common, too). In the far corner stands [[Wooden Chest]] with some gold inside. On the desk lays an {{SmRarityItem|Enhanced' Weapons - Sales Ledger}} that sheds some light on Gortash's covert trade operations.
