Gotcha... Yeah, I saved him by "sacrificing" myself but since I never got lockpick(mages do not lockpick!) I never was able to get in.. I figured it was lockpick, but I figured I should just skip it since that would be anti roleplay.
I went back with a previous save to check out the dark cave again. Guess I was just roleplaying myself and decided not to trust a vampire. Same as with the slasher, my initial thought was not to help an orc by giving him an axe.
I actually went back to that area also out of curiosity when it was brought up in another post, the slasher quest that is.
I'm not happy about the boy dying but at least he did not have to suffer the plague. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
