Monastery Lockpicks for food

[Zeit (FaqieFPS)]

In the Monastery you are able to aquire Lockpicks by talking to Brother Cellarius and apparently all he wants for them is food. So I decided to go into the kitchen at night and steal some food, but when I try to get the lockpicks it instead wants me to with pay Groschen? This is a real let down since I took the time to actually get the food and I was kinda excited to be able to explore the Monastery even further.
Why even bother putting that in the dialogue if it does not work anyway?

I think that the point is you can sell food to him for groschen, and nothing else, but still a bit silly (especially as you need a LOT of food for just one lock pick)

Well, since it is not even allowed to have money in the monastery, it is pretty weird why I would pay with Groschen, don't you think? Especially since he is one of the monks.

True, true! Then again, the monks that are in charge of enforcing the rules are sitting in the basement drinking wine and playing dice so....none of them are really paragons of their kind :P

Hahaha, yeah that is true xD, but then again,I hope the developers atleast think it over if they see this and try to change it around so that you acutally trade food against lockpicks. Because to be honest it kinda ruined my immersion a little.
Oh well, one can only hope. :)

Hey Guys, you need to sell him anything from Alchemie ...its enough for 20 Lockpits

I traded the entire pantry for just one lockpick, then I found one behind some painting.

That is not my point, if the dialogue cleary states that he wants food, then I should be able to trade just food for lockpicks. Not sell them so I get Groschen and then buy the lockpicks. That is just strange.

make potions and sell them to him, they give you the flowers for free

Hehe, I tried doing the same but as mentioned, it was not worth enough Groschen to be able to aquire the picks.. :/. Hmm interesting! What painting might that be? :O

Just a tip, and don’t read this if you want to find the stash yourself, there’s a hidden stash of money and something else in the room next to the beds in one of the tiles, it will give you a nice amount of money to use.

Thanks, I knew that actually,but that is still not my point... If the dialogue says that he wants food for lockpicks then I should be able to just give him bread, cheese or whatever to get the picks. Not sell them first and then get enough money for the lockpicks...

Don't really remember. Just look at paintings, there aren't that many.
Make sure to kill the Circators when they go drinking

Yeah, but I think it balances it out, of those are supposedly some of his last and it’s a monastery you’re getting them in. Either way, you can always go out at night to get the ones you had on you when you went in there.

True, but in a monastery you are not even allowed to have money. So that is what makes it strange to me, but I understand what you mean. Hehe, I stored almost everything I had in the Rattay mill before I became a monk. Then I snook out and rode my horse there and got me some Groschen and lockpicks. Let's just say that they were not pleased when I came back and I was banished from the grounds xD.

Alright, thanks! Why should I kill them though? :O I want John to be punished for his non monk activities, but not murder him! The one I want to murder has a more, let's say.. Filthy background before he became a novice, and he is not very popular with the ladies.
