Stop the Radscorpions

Stop the Radscorpions is a side quest in Fallout.

Quick walkthrough

 * Speak to Aradesh and ask him what's going on around town.
 * Speak to Seth and ask him to take you to the Radscorpion cave. Seth is the only way for you to go in and out of the Cave.
 * Either place an explosive at the entrance of the cave, or kill all 9 radscorpions.
 * More experience is acquired if you kill the radscorpions and then seal the entrance.

Detailed walkthrough
Upon entering Shady Sands, speak to Seth or Aradesh. They will tell you about how radscorpions are attacking their livestock people. Aradesh will ask you to speak with Razlo.

Razlo is located in his home in the southern building in the entrance section of Shady Sands. He will tell you that if you bring him radscorpion tails he can produce an antidote. This will be very helpful because unless you are a higher level you will be poisoned.

After speaking to Razlo you should speak to Seth. He will offer to take you to the Radscorpion Cave, and once there you have a few options on how to procede.
 * Enter the cave and kill all 9 radscorpions.
 * The second option is to place explosives at the entrance of the caves and seal the radscorpions in. There is a specific portion of the cave that "seems a bit weaker." If you plant an explosive here, it will cause a cave-in, trapping all of the radscorpions inside. If you are on the wrong side of the cave-in, however, you will instantly die.
 * Explosives can be obtained by bartering with the Gate Guard, or by searching bookshelves around town.

Rewards
By killing all radscorpions in the cave:
 * 500 experience points
 * +6 Reputation

By sealing the Radscorpion Cave entrance:
 * 300 experience points
 * However 300 is the minimum. If you kill more radscorpions before placing the explosives this will net additional xp.
 * +6 Reputation.


 * If you kill the radscorpions, then cause the cave-in, you can get the rewards for both solutions.
