Planescape: Torment Hints
How do I retrieve Porphiron's prayer beads?
1 of 11: You get this quest from a man who is standing by the entrance to the Northwest Section of the Hive.
2 of 11: The quest is to retrieve his prayer beads from a band of thugs who robbed him.
3 of 11: The thugs are in the Southeast section of the city.
4 of 11: Specifically, they are standing right next to the west side of the Smoldering Corpse Bar.
5 of 11: You can recognize them by their red clothes.
6 of 11: They are your typical might-over-mind types, so try to talk yourself out of a fight for more experience.
7 of 11: They enjoy fighting only those they think are smaller than them -- like you. Try to convince them they upset someone bigger than them.
8 of 11: Tell them they ticked off a whole religious group by stealing the beads.
9 of 11: Keep up this line of reasoning until they give you the beads.
10 of 11: Then return to Porphiron with the beads.
11 of 11: Remember: if words fail, negotiate with a sharp blade (or teeth in Morte's case).
