Please tell me there's another way of hammering the nails in near that
'pregnant' wall. I picked up that damn hammer and tossed it right back. Who
would expect to need that weak little thing? Now the door is locked to the
dabus' and I'm screwed. And of course my frigging huge enchanted hammer doesn't
do jack. ARGH.

Very irritating. People often ask if there are any "gotchas" in this game
and I always answer: "when you find the iron prybar and the hammer, *KEEP
THEM*".

There are several hammers and prybars in the game. The first prybar is at
the top of the mortuary. The second prybar is in the thieves house that
you passed through just before the alley. But you didn't ask about
prybars, did you?! I'm afraid I can't remember at all where the hammers
are. I have a suspicion that one of the market people can sell you a
hammer. But that will involve making your way back through the thieves'
meeting place, which isn't fun. Please tell us you have a save-game you
can go back to!

No, I don't. None closer than before the Thieves hideout. I'll go let Mr. Blue
Guy get killed, that should put me back at the front door. Then to find a damn
hammer. If anyone knows where one is, it'd be appreciated! Wonder if I can
pickpocket another Dabus.....I doubt it.

Ditto. You gotta figure that any 'hammer' could pound nails, but nooo.

You have to go buy one in the market from the weapons dealer, or
kill a Dabus if you prefer. Might piss off the Lady though...

Thanks you guys. I went back and bought one. Now, as a addendum on my post I
have to ask about a few items(should I lug these around?)

The TombKeys 1-4 from that tomb where you get your journal
Soego's(sp?) severed head
My intestines(lol)
And is there anything I missed about the Book of Ash? (got it near the start,
haven't been able to use it)

After the tomb, I don't think I ever used the tomb keys.

Use it in the Lower Ward for a quest.

After they're properly cooked, you can eat them...

I believe that book was of use in the Mortuary... not necessary if you
had high intelligence/wisdom.

No, it's not. That's what I ended up doing. And if you snuck past the
barking idiots on your way to the alley, chances are you'll have to
fight them when you try to go back.

A better way however, if you play the Nameless One as a mage,
is to use your intestines to learn spells from Ignus.

You can buy a hammer in Sigil, in the square with all the salesmen I think
it was.

.


Better yet, if you are a mage and your stats are at the right level and you
offer the intestines to Ignus to burn (in the appropriate dialogue tree),
they will turn into a VERY valuable artifact that you will wear throughout
the rest of the game.

I must have been lucky (or good!) - I used one of the 2 abyssal pipes I
found somewhere in the crypts on the thieves in the main meeting room.
Killed all but 2 in a single round from the Cloud Kill and easily took the
survivors out in melee. After that, I never even thought twice about going
back and forth through their lair - the only ones left were the painter by
the front door and the old blind thief in his room. Any sub-quests from
these two by the way?

I thought that this was a different incarnation of your intestines......
(and I had FFG wear them, anyhow)

Not quite... you get those intestines in a dialogue with Ravel... as for
the intestines drawn out in the buried village, you get Ignus to toast
them for you, giving you a (more or less useless) spell.
