Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura Hints
What can I do in H.T. Parnell's shop?
1 of 4: Well, if you have two ranks of Persuasion, you can talk to the "Orc" Gar, and if you talk to him about tea, he'll mention that he's really a human and that he's pretty much a slave to Parnell.
2 of 4: If you then talk to Parnell and pretend to blackmail him, he'll release Gar, and you'll get a fate point.
3 of 4: Then, go talk to Gar again, and he'll join your group. You can refuse him for another fate point, but you can never get him to rejoin.
4 of 4: Also, if you happen to still have Bessie Toone's boot from Shrouded Hills, you can sell it to Parnell for 250 gold (sucker).
