Rescue from Paradise

 is a Fallout 3 quest. It is also an Xbox 360 and PC achievement.

Little Lamplight
To go through the Little Lamplight cavern, you have to speak with Mayor MacCready and agree to complete the quest Rescue from Paradise that he assigns you. Two residents of the town, Sammy and Squirrel, have been kidnapped by slavers from Paradise Falls, and MacCready demands their return.

Paradise Falls
If you don't visit Little Lamplight first, just walk into Paradise Falls and talk to Eulogy Jones. He will tell you he has children for sale as slaves. He will then tell you to walk over to the pens and browse for ones you want. Sammy will ask you to save his friend Squirrel and himself.

Pre-Requisite Quests
When you arrive at Paradise Falls, a man asks you to capture slaves in order to gain entrance to Paradise Falls. If you agree, he will give you the Mesmetron and directions and begin the Strictly Business quest. If your speech is high enough, you can talk your way into paying 500 caps for immediate access instead. Or if your karma is low enough you can be let in free of charge straight away. Or you can do it the old fashioned way, guns a blazing. You will have to fight the entire town. But between enclave soldiers, super mutants, and killer robots, a few slavers shouldn't be too much of a problem. The benefit of doing it this way is that you don't have to lose karma in fact by killing certain members of paradise falls you actually gain karma. However, doing the Strictly Business quest is an Xbox 360 and PC achievement.

Saving Sammy and Squirrel
When you get inside Paradise Falls you have to go to the slave cage at the back of the area and talk to the kids through the wire gate. They tell you that in order to rescue them, you must open the gate. To do this you can either tamper with a computer in Eulogy's Pad (requires 50 Science) or rewire a junction box near the bar (the area with the sign labeled Food) (requires Repair 40). Once this is completed, Squirrel tells you that the guard Forty needs to be distracted so they can make a run for it. Talk to Forty and convince him to walk away, or kill him.

Saving Penny
Once this is completed, Squirrel will tell you that their friend Penny won't leave until her friend, Rory who has been put in the box, is released. You can try to convince Sammy and Squirrel to leave her if your Speech is high enough. From here on either lie to Penny and tell her Rory is safe, tell her that friends leave you sometimes, or find the key to the box. She says you can pickpocket Forty or find it in Eulogy's Pad. Once you retrieve the key, Penny will leave and meet you outside with Sammy and Squirrel. Once the kids have escaped, Sammy tells you to meet him South-West of here. Speak to them again and they say that they are returning to Lamplight Cavern. You can now enter the children's town!

Saving Rory
Once you open the box, you will notice that Rory is not a child, and he won't fit in the sewer pipe like the children can. You'll need to sneak him out through the front door. One way to get him out safely is to kill everyone in the city.

You don't have to get Rory out of the town. You can get him out of the outhouse, tell him to follow you, immediately go back to Penny and tell her you've rescued him. As he tries to escape he will die, but Penny is already rescued.

It's possible to "rescue" Rory without turning the town hostile, as long as he does all the fighting. First, steal the ammunition (including grenades) from all the outdoor slavers, and collect all the melee weapons laying around. Next, you will have to give Rory a weapon and ammo. He is hopeless with energy weapons, but can handle a Combat Shotgun rather well. You will have to plant (reverse-pickpocket) it on him, and he will turn hostile if he catches you. He can use Stimpaks as well, so plant a couple on him. Don't give him anything too rare or expensive, as you will likely not be able to retrieve it. Now, when you tell Rory to run, he will be armed and the slavers will not. This gives him a fighting chance, although he still tends to freeze up and get beaten to death. Once he reaches the door to the outside, he is home free; Grouse and the other outdoor guard will not attack him. Note: This strategy often fails because the two guys with super sledges usually beat Rory to a pulp.

Another method is the running of the bulls strategy, where you get to Rory to follow you, and release the other 3 prisoners willing to escape from the pen simultaneously. With luck, You and Rory can make it to the gate while the other prisoners take the brunt of the enemy fire. This can be used in conjuction with looting of the slavers of their ammo.

If you're interested in actually saving Rory through cleansing the town, it is necessary to release him from the box before killing all of the slavers, or else, when you open The Box, he will be dead, though intact. The best method seems to be to talk to him, then tell him to wait somewhere safe (even having him wait in the open Box seems to work fairly well) while you clear out the town, then have him follow you. It does not appear to be necessary to kill the two guards at the entrance to Paradise falls, as Rory talks to you at the town exit, at the end of which you gain Karma.

Alternative
If you're willing, you can shoot your way through. Start with the guards in the front outside. Forty should run out also, so you can shoot him and get his key. You will notice Sammy off to the side behind a car. Talk to him to start the quest. This is where it becomes harder. You will automatically get shot at by a man with a mini-gun so jump behind the metal plates right in front of the entrance. Start shooting anyone who goes after you. It will be harder than any of the other ways to do it but you get more experience this way. When you reach Little Lamplight you should be let right in. you can also try getting in, then engaging them from Eulogy's balcony, where you can take out he mingunner first, and easily kill the rest of the slavers from above, before dealing with the ones out front.

NOTE: This is one of the best times to use a Psycho/Med-X or any chem with +DMG on it. Makes each individual fight quicker and less painfull for you.

Bugs

 * If you enslaved Arkansas, and then free all of the slaves, enter the Slave House and proceed to free him, he will say he's going to join the Temple of the Union and then run outside and kill everyone standing around.
 * There seems to be a bug where if you kill Forty near the cages it doesn't count as him being distracted.
 * There also seems to be a bug that Rory will freeze once outside Paradise Falls and after fast traveling he will follow you everywhere.
 * It appears that, if you are particularly unfortunate while killing everyone in the town, some of the slavers will vanish upon death, preventing the player from looting them.
 * Rory will sink into the ground upon reload if asked to wait.

(I discovered a bug when I attempted to persuade Forty to leave. Failing that I killed him and the other slavers, Sammy would not leave the pen and the objective still came up to persuade Forty.)
