Discworld Noir Hints
How do I find out about the merchant?
1 of 10: This one is complicated. Here we go.
2 of 10: Start with Nobby at Pseudopolis Yard; ask about the merchant's murder to learn the location of the Merchants Guild.
3 of 10: But the man at the Merchants Guild won't help. You'll need to trick him.
4 of 10: Have you asked Mrs. Fomes at the university about the wizard's murder?
5 of 10: She mentioned "Dead Men's Pointy Boots." Talk to the bledlow about this to get a better definition: it means that the death of a superior is an accepted way of moving up the ladder around here. Hmm. That could be useful.
6 of 10: Go back to the Merchants Guild and speak to the doorman about "Dead Men's Pointy Boots" and he'll tell you who was murdered and where --
7 of 10: -- but not how. You need more info.
8 of 10: Remember who was waiting for the Count at the mansion?
9 of 10: If anyone knows about murder, it's Death.
10 of 10: Once you've gotten the merchant to tell you the name of the murdered man, go back to the Count and speak to Death about the merchant's murder (twice), and he'll fill in the final details.
