SECTION I: INSTRUCTIONS
-----------------------

Install this mod to a Chloe-free BG2 environment.  This is not
specifically because Chloe sucks or anything, but because she
uses the same area this mod does.  Or, well, actually, you
could install it.  The chances of both quests occuring at the
same time are slim.  Anyhoo...

Install the mod.  Go to AR0307.are (the Shadow Thieves main
area, where Linvail is), and visit the torturer, Booter.

Chat with him for a bit until he tells you the story of a
common soldier that talks too much.

Go visit the dungeons, and talk to all the prisoners until
you find the new one (he's just at the bottom of the stairs).

Help him out.  After having helped him, you can return to
the dungeon to talk to Booter again, and see the consequences
of his actions.  You might also see the consequences of your
actions, depending on what advice you gave to Carrack.


SECTION II: OTHER BITS

This mod is Copyright Jesse Meyers, 2005.  Ummm... May not
be used in whole or in part unless you're a sentient orangutan.

SECTION IV: SPOILERS
--------------------

The instructions basically have all the spoilers, but here's a
more concise explanation of what'll happen.

1) You visit Booter, and he tells you about a bunch of people
he's tortured recently.  Loose lips sunk their ships all right.

2) After hearing his last story--a story about a prisoner still
alive--you can go talk to that very prisoner.  He's found in
the dungeon just outside the torture chamber.  His name is Carrack.

3) You can free him, and go meet him in AR0500, the bridge district.

4) You fight some thugs in and outside his house, and find that
his family has been murdered.  He swears revenge.

5) You can give him good advice; take a deep breath and think about
things, or bad advice; go charging in.

6) If you return to the Shadow Thieves guildhall, you'll see that
Booter's being tortured for spilling the beans about Carrack.
If you told Carrack to get his revenge immediately, you'll also
see his corpse in the southern entrance hall.
