I kind of screwed myself. I talked to Moriarity and he told me that he would sell me information on my Dad for 100 caps. I went and got 100 caps from killing various bad guys, etc. Well when I went back to him, I had 150+ caps and he raised the price to 300.
That was a load of crap, so I busted out the flame thrower and killed everyone in there.
Now, I can't get out of town.
