The guard and the prisoner will babble on for a bit. Then you'll be taken out
to run a race. Win the race, it's easy enough. Along the way there are five
barrels (two in front of the stairs, three along the upper path), but it's
probably best to leave them alone for now, we'll get them later. Once you've
won the race, you'll be taken to the warden's office for a poetry reading.
Swell.
There is a Somrune Tattoo card on the shelf, but again, it's probably best to
leave this for now, we'll get it later. Then go into sneak mode (caps lock key)
to grab the combo for the books. Watch the bars on the right side of the screen
to keep track of your noise level and amount of time you have left.
So, which book? There are three to choose from. Select the wrong one and it's a
visit to the torture chamber for you, not to mention another year in prison (if
this happens to you, don't sweat it, there's always the race next year).
I believe (but don't quote me on this) that the first book you select (no
matter which one it is) will be the wrong book, and you'll be spending another
year in jail. The second time you come here, you will succeed in grabbing the
prison key.
Anyway, presuming you have the key, it's back to the holding cell for you. Open
the gate. In an open cell on the other side are three barrels, where you can
pick up a stick. In another closed cell is a barrel with a red meat. It's
probably not a bad idea to release the prisoners. If nothing else, they'll be a
distraction for the guards.
Bargate Prison: Courtyard
-------------------------
You can check out the other cellblocks if you like. Cellblock two has caved
in, but there's a style card lying on the ground (Small Moustache). In cell
block three you'll find a barrel (health potion) and a chest (Plate boots).
Head back into the courtyard and make a run for the torture chamber (with the
gold flashing icon).
Alright, we need to return to the prison to get our stuff. Return to the
courtyard and head up the stairs. At the top, head to the right (not up the
second flight of stairs) to find the door to the barracks.
Prison Barracks
---------------
In the various chests, you will find a complete set of Guard clothing, not to
mention your entire inventory! Be sure and check the shelves for a couple of
tattoo cards (Harion shoulder and arm tattoos). The barrels have an Ages of
Might potion, a will potion, and a red meat in them.
Return to the courtyard and give the guards a bit of payback if you like. Grab
those barrels now if you hadn't already (there are 5 in total, and contain an
apple pie, red meat, 2 health potions and a carrot). Also, be sure to hit the
Warden's office to grab the Somrune Tattoo card we skipped earlier. When all
that's done return to the torture chamber to pick up Mom, and head out the door
to the underground passage.
Didn't we just leave this party? There's nothing much to do, just make your way
out of the area, killing guards as you go. When we reach the Underground
Chamber, we have a boss monster to take down.
Underground Chamber
-------------------
First, take out the tentacles. You can only hit them at certain times, when
they have attacked and are draped over the ground. You're best bet is to run in
a circle, and when you hear one of them strike, quickly turn around a smack it
with your favorite melee weapon. After a hit or two, the tentacle will be
defeated. When all four are done, whack at the kraken head for a while (Skorm's
bow does a nice job here). Eventually it goes away and is replaced by a new set
of tentacles. Take those down and the kraken head returns. This time it's a
fight to the death, so finish it off. Once that's done, collect your experience
orbs and head for the exit. This ends the quest and gives you a new trophy, the
Kraken's Tooth.
