It is always a good idea to talk to everybody. The following notes give hints on hidden rooms, traps and puzzles.
Entering the town from the north you find some rats in the rubbish pit. To the SE is a door leading to a landing stage where you find a boat. This boat can be used to get to the prison cells and the mayor's office in the east without Magi-Clearance. It can also be used to row to the areas in the west which can only be reached by boat.
On the south bank of the pond towards the westen end is a somewhat swampy area. On landing you find a narrow passage with 7 Shamblers. One way of dealing with them, is to send a warrior up the narrow passage, so that they cannot break out and attack all members of the party. The warrior can fight them one at a time while the others use ranged attcks. After killing them you can find some Greymould.
At the western end of the pond is a small area where you can land. Through a hidden door is a room where two golems are restrained by magic barriers. There is a lever which must be pulled in oder to open up a way into the room to the north. Ths lever unfortunately also brings the barriers down releasing the Golems. The problem with these monsters is that they are relatively insensitive to magic. The only spell which really affects them is Cloud of Blades. Although this spell can be used to destroy Vahatai Barriers ( s. Angierach) it does not affect ordinary magical barriers. I usually cast cloud of blades a few times and wait until the golems pop their clogs. You could of course pull the lever and bash them.
Now you can get to Starcap who is annoyed at your bursting in on his privacy. He will however condescend to tell you that he is scrying the Onyx Septre which he believes is still in the Lair of Sulfras. There is nothing lying around but the tome, which needs a deciphering lense to read it, teaches Unshackle Mind L3. To the south is a further room containing his Scrying Pool, which you do not know how to use.
The City Hall and Baracks can only be entered if you have Magi-Clearance. The prison cells and the mayor's room can however be reached by boat with only sodier clearance.
In the west, south of Largo's Apothecary is a locked up and deserted shop which is empty. To the south of this you can find Gunther's hideaway. He is a rather shady character who came from the Abyss. If you ask him why his shop is hidden away he will hint that he is a fence and gives you a quest to steal some tools from a storage bay in the town. He Rewards you with a Strenght Bracelet and 10 xp but you loose 2 rep!
In the centre of the town are three storage bays. The doors a relatively easy to unlock. Bay 1 (N) has a trap level 10. There some nice items in the various containers (2 Rubies, an Emerald, Iron Plate Mail, 2 Iron Greatswords and an Iron Longsword). In the east wall is a hidden door leading to a further room guarded by an Ur-Basilisk and two Golems. Here you can find a Blessed Bow and a Blessed Short Sword. In the Chest are the tools that Gunther wants.
Bay 2 is protected by a trap (level 10) and an ordinary Basilisk. Here are some Iron Bolts another Ruby and Emerald as well as some Magic Lockpicks. Bay 3 is also protected by a trap level 10 but no monster. Here are Arrows of Light, Iron Arrows, an Iron Halberd and an Iron Spear.
There is an inn run by Messner. Rooms here are expensive (15 coins).
