Basically, i havent heard bryloff (or whatever's) scheme yet. Told him it sounded illegal, or something.

I dont want to do this guild yet. Playin a good guy for now.

But i want to go into ratway and look around. Possibly get the pugilist gloves. Question is, will it screw anything up?

Like, if i killed all these hostile morons that have the gall to go up against me, will there be any repercussions for my actions?

The first two npc i walked up to, were chatting about taking down the guild...

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

nope wont hurt anything, as they are hostile no matter what.

Sweet. Thank you very much.

You're gonna have to go in there on the MQ regardless of TG membership. So have at it

no, unless once you get into the ragged flagon and attack anybody in there then yes

Right on. Thanks. I have no plans to attack anyone in there. Lol. Like i said, i plan on eventually joining the guild. Just not now.

I appreciate all the help guys.

Playing a good guy and trying to find Esbern without Brynjolf (spelling?) is easy. Talk to the Bartender in the Ragged Flagon inside Ratway..

No, I refused to do the Thief thing and then entered the Ratway and then declined to pay for information and still did the quest OK. You really don't need any help from the TG at all.
