Once you pay him to join you, you're allowed to use the steal skill on him with automatic success to manage his inventory.
Let the scorpions sting him, NPCs can't be poisoned. Or you could just recruit Ian in Shady Sands and bring him along. You might need to run near them and then lure them away from the ammo, then run past them and pick it up. Then you can use all your action points to run past them.
To pull this off, you need to press 'A' on your keyboard to enter combat mode before the scorpions see you and go aggro. Kind of like that scene in Untouchables where the baby carriage is going down the stairs in the train station and they toss the loaded gun and shoot the bad guys and save the baby. But if you ran out before you got that far, it might not help you.Īlthough you might be able to run past the Scorpions in combat mode and pick it up, then load your gun, then start shooting at the Scorpions.
I think it was in one of the branches towards the bottom of the screen. There should also be some ammo in the caves.
