Well i just killed Canthar (while he's in jail) in chapter 1. Let's see what happens - let's see if Sarah still disapears later and the merchants stop talking to me... in which case I would have broken the game (since the merchants would have no reason to stop talking to me, if I killed Canthar while he's in prison, so he can't get out and tell them I'm a convict)

To kill Canthar without the guard noticing, just stand so the wall is covering you from the guard's view (and sometimes the guard has his back to you) and use point-blank shots from a bow, 4-5 arrows will kill him.

The most amusing solution I tried, was to kill Canthar before you get into the city while he's sitting near the farm. Imagine my surprise when I see his body lying in the merchant area after I finally get in!! I saw a similar thing with a farm hand who got killed in the field; seems at night they take the body back to the campfire and then drop it back in the field the next day!!

Well basically to save memory, the game seemingly doesn't keep track of exact body locations, just whether characters are dead or alive... and then, based on chapter and time of day, it places the body accordingly in real-time...

Did anyone discover what happends to Sarah after Canthar gets his place back? I looked for her in the whole city, but she was nowhere to be found.

Could you not just use oblivion on the merchans that refuse to trade with you?

OK well I can definitely confirm that if you kill Canthar while he's in prison, he never badmouths you to the other merchants, and Sarah continues to stick around until the end... and yes, her weapons get upgraded with every new chapter.

I've found Sarah's body in a cave. She was dead and was having all here old stuff on her. The cave is the one you reach if you go down from the Circle of the Sun on some stairs in the direction of Akils farm. Looks more like a mine and has a minecrawler warrior at the entrance.

kill him
   

In my game I put Canthar in the prison, and then kill him. Plain and simple. And then good ol' Sarah still there business as usual until the end. And yes, her wares are renewed on each chapter. It's nice. I bought Ash Bow from her. A really powerful bow.

I also sent Canthat to jail. But I couldn't kill him because I also nailed Rengaru ... so there was always a witness

Si I let Canthar out, paid the 500 gold and waited for him at the hotel. I smashed and robbed him : 650 gold + all his wares. One oblivion spell and the next morning I sold him his own stock

You don't get any better weapon if you frame Sarah. Sarah always gave me the Pirate's Cutlass, the same weapon I can find on the beach and the same weapon what Canthar gave to me.

Other then that, Canthar is a slimy shmuck and deserves the jail. He will be free again in CH 3 and will put all the other merchants against you, and you will have to pay him 500 gold to get it straightened out. Funny how Canthar kills Sarah and no one even binks an eye. I put Canthar once in jail and later, when he got out, I saw him standing on Sarah's corpse. After that day, I always kill him. Not an easy thing as a starter, but there's stuff to lure on him and can beat myself in addition as well. And when he falls down, alive, from my hit, I with pleasure drive a weapon through him. Slimy shmuck is worth it.

Besides, you can beat him up well enough in jail without getting whooped. Need to have done sidequests and have few levels under your belt. Simply time out the moment, when there's less guards closeby. Night is nice, when most sleep away in barracks. Smack him up, and guard which may come you can also smack and use Oblivion on him. This is just a guess, as I haven't tried it yet, but will probably try next time.

Well, I went to the prison at midnight, after I had put Canthar in jail, to see if I can... bring some just punishment down on his sorry butt, so to say. Canthar was in the same cell as Rengaru, whom I had put there earlier (I'm playing the just mage - or paladin - this time, so thieves guild goes down). Guard was standing right next to their cell. Well, rest of the guards were asleep, only Andre and that other guy who's name starts with W were in next room.

So, I tried to use the Sleep scroll on the guard, but apparently he's immune to Sleep. He didn't even blink an eye, didn't say a word. Cast the Sleep on him 3 times, nothing. Bah...

So, what to do next then... I had some summon scrolls on me, skeleton, goblin skeleton, such. So I asked the guard, can I see the prisoners, just in case. He said that sure and so I stepped into the cell, where Canthar was. There I went into the back corner and started to summon out those skeletons, burning scroll after scroll, gulping potions inbetween. Well, soon I had bunch of skeletons running around the cell, who beat the snot out of Canthar. However, thing went wee bit too far, these skeletons also killed Rengaru, Halvor, Nagur and the guard in the jail, tee hee hee... Mayhem was over when one skellie ran outside and knocked on Lord Andre's head, after what Andre promptly kicked the butt of all skeletons.

By that time I had quietly ran out of the jail and slept a good night sleep, like a honest man does. Later went back to barracks to check out the warzone - skellie weapons all around the place, cells packed with dead people, guarded by dead guard. Oh well. At least I 'saved' Sarah, although accidentally killed off half the thieves guild and a guard as well...
