Being a control freak, I made research trying to find out what kind of items you can get, buy or be rewarded in the Black Pits II.
Ordered by source.
1) CONTAINERS
[spoiler]Some are locked or need a key, some require that you be at a certain point in the game.
- Branson Chest - Dagger +3, 2317 Gold, Potion of Clarity
- Dennaton Chest - 9000 Gold
- Bannor Shelf - Shadow Door, Mental Domination, Symbol Stun
- Pol Chests - Conjure Lesser Fire Elemental, Delayed Blast Fireball, The Burning Earth +1 (Longsword +2/3/4 vs. Regen./Cold/Undead CRE)

[/spoiler]
2) CREATURES
[spoiler]If you hit one, the Winged will spawn once to warn you. Following time, she'll slay your party.
- Arzol - Obsidian Ioun Stone (CON +1), Wakizashi +3, The Guard's Ring +2, Katana +3, various Potions
- Beryl - Golden Ioun Stone (INT +1), Traveler's Robe, Quaterstaff +3, various Potions

None of these items can be pickpocketed.
[/spoiler]
3) STORES
[spoiler]For readability sake, I don't list normal, +1, +2 or +3 items because you can find a version for each type of weapon or armor.
Likewise, you won't see ammunition since all of them are available at start, except Bolt +4 and Arrow +4. Additional quantities appear in the list though.
Wands also can be bought immediately. The only missing one is the Wand of Spell Striking.

4) REWARDS
a. How it works
[spoiler]Now, this is something I spent a good amount of time on, so I hope you will appreciate my findings. It's all thanks to that great tool called
Near Infinity. I advise you to use it too if you're interested in browsing the game files.
I will go step by step to show you how the system works and ultimately what is the best strategy to apply.
First, one thing you should know: you won't get any reward if you don't ask for it. It may sound simple but at one point I believed the system was more subtle.
So, when you start a fight in the pits and Dennaton asks you if you want to address the crowd, you should request an item (usually option 3.). If you do, here's what happens ("//" means the following is a personal comment) :
//Code from dialog file of Dennaton, OHBDENNA.DLG
SetGlobal("ohb_item_reward","global",1) //Global variable ohb_item_reward set to 1
If you've never looked at code, this simply says that a variable (an element to save a value that can change) named ohb_item_reward will have a value of 1 if you chose option 3.. Why this value? Well, look at what happens next:
//Code from script file OHB_101.BCS
IF
Global("ohb_item_reward","global",1) //If global variable ohb_item_reward = 1
OR(2) //Or, one of two:
Global("ohb_101_item_good","global",0) //if global variable ohb_101_item_good = 0
Global("ohb_101_item_great","global",0) //if global variable ohb_101_item_great = 0
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("ohb_item_reward","global",2) //Global variable ohb_item_reward set to 2
END
So, here's a BCS file. BCS files contain script. Scripts are written codes that tell the game to perform actions possibly on certain conditions. In that case, the block I selected from OHB_101.BCS begins with an IF, continues with a THEN and ends with an END. So it first checks the conditions between IF and THEN. If all conditions are TRUE, it performs the actions between THEN and END. RESPONSE
#100 is a requirement that simply tells the following actions will happen. END is necessary to close the block started by IF.
Now, why OHB_101? Well, this corresponds to the first battle you fight in the pits (100 for the first tier and 1 for the first battle). I chose this particular area but the script part I selected should be replicated for each. You have one for each battle from 101 to 506 (26 battles).
And what about the ohb_101_item_good and ohb_101_item_great variables? We'll see a bit later why they're used.
So, we're lef twith a ohb_item_reward variable with a value of 2. What's next?
//Code from script file OHBVIC01.BCS
IF
Global("ohb_item_reward","global",2)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("ohb_item_reward","global",3)
SetGlobal("ohb_item_prob_low","global",20)
SetGlobal("ohb_item_prob_high","global",45)
END
Now that you're familiar with the way it works you should understand the ohb_item_reward was incremented and that two new variables ohb_item_prob_low and ohb_item_prob_high were set.
What about the script file itself? It doesn't look like it's specifically linked to the first battle. How do I know it interacts with it in some manner? Here's the answer:
//Code from script file OHBARE1.BCS
IF
Global("OHB_101","GLOBAL",1)
Global("OHB_START_BATTLE","GLOBAL",2)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
DayNight(DAWN_END)
SetAreaScript("OHB_101",4) //Area from which OHBARE1.BCS is run will run OHB_101.BCS in slot 4
SetAreaScript("OHBVIC01",1)
SetAreaScript("OHBDEF01",2)
SetAreaScript("OHSOUND1",3)
END
And we find here the two scripts I mentioned: OHB_101 and OHBVIC01. What about this particular script, OHBARE1? Well, it's actually the default area script of the four different pits areas you fight in (OH8200.ARE, OH8300.ARE, OH8400.ARE and OH9100.ARE). It checks what tier and battle you're at, but the actions it performs never actually vary.
Now that we know what scripts are called and how, we can continue with our ohb_item_reward variable with a current value of 3.
//Code from script file OHBVIC01.BCS
IF
Global("ohb_item_reward","global",3)
!GlobalsGT("ohb_villain","ohb_hero") //If ohb_hero > ohb_villain
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("ohb_item_reward","global",4)
AddGlobals("ohb_item_prob_low","ohb_hero") //ohb_item_prob_low = ohb_item_prob_low + ohb_hero
AddGlobals("ohb_item_prob_high","ohb_hero")
END
Heck, more variables?! Now we also have ohb_villain and ohb_hero variable! And why these additions with ohb_item_prob? Do you remember when we first started with Dennaton dialog? Well, if you remember there are other options to choose when you address the crowd. One of them is considered good or heroic (usually 1.) and the other evil or villainous (usually 5.). What happens when you pick them over the reward (I use the hero example, but the villain path is similar)?
//Code from dialog file of Dennaton, OHBDENNA.DLG
SetGlobal("ohb_raise_hero_score","global",1)
Yes, another variable! You shouldn't be surprised... But its name should give you a clue:
//Code from script file OHB_101.BCS
IF
Global("ohb_raise_hero_score","global",1)
GlobalLT("ohb_101_score_limit","global",3) //If ohb_101_score_limit < 3
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("ohb_raise_hero_score","global",0) //Prevents further incrementation
IncrementGlobal("ohb_101_score_limit","global",1) //Increments ohb_101_score_limit by 1
IncrementGlobal("OHB_ANTI_DENNATON","GLOBAL",-1)
IncrementGlobal("ohb_hero","global",1)
IncrementGlobal("ohb_villain","global",-1)
END
A lot happening there. So, you should recognize our fourth slot area script OHB_101.BCS. If you played the hero, it checks a score (raising) limit. You know that you can fight the same battle again right? Well, you could then go for the hero lines again and keep rising your popularity indefinitely. Which is why this limit is set to 3 and also:
//Code from script file OHB_101.BCS
IF
!GlobalLT("ohb_101_score_limit","global",3) //If limit of 3 is reached
OR(2)
Global("ohb_raise_hero_score","global",1)
Global("ohb_raise_villain_score","global",1)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("ohb_raise_hero_score","global",0) //ohb_raise_hero_score set to 0 to prevent further raising when replaying the battle
SetGlobal("ohb_raise_villain_score","global",0)
Now back to our previous block and to the THEN part.
The first action sets ohb_raise_hero_score to 0, so that this block can only run once (it needs a ohb_raise_hero_score of 1) in the course of a battle.
The second action has to do with the limit we just saw.
The third action I won't comment because it's out of our scope.
The fourth and fifth adjust the variables ohb_hero and ohb_villain we found in OHBVIC01.BCS. As you can see if one increases the other decreases. Remember that for later. Also, know that these two variables don't start at 0 but actually at 10 and here's why:
//Code from script file OHBHUB.BCS attached to (main) area OH8100.ARE
IF
Global("OHB_START_HUB","MYAREA",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
[...]
SetGlobal("OHB_HERO","GLOBAL",10)
SetGlobal("ohb_villain","global",10)
[...]
END
As soon as you enter the Black Pits (after your capture or on your own will), these values are set.
Now that we know how these variables start at 10 and increase (or decrease by 1) for every battle if you choose the right dialog option, let's see why this matter.
But first, we should continue with our well known ohb_item_reward variable. We left it at value 4 in OHBVIC01.BCS.
//Code from script file OHBVIC01.BCS
IF
Global("ohb_item_reward","global",4)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("ohb_item_reward","global",6)
SetGlobalRandom("ohb_item_roll","global",1,100) //Rolls a random number between 1-100 and sets its value to ohb_item_roll
END
So, it goes from 4 to 6. Why not 5? Well I have no idea. It's just that way, as weird as it seems!
A new variable named ohb_item_roll appears. What does it have to do with anything?
//Code from script file OHB_101.BCS
IF
Global("ohb_item_reward","global",6)
Global("ohb_101_item_great","global",0)
GlobalsGT("ohb_item_prob_low","ohb_item_roll") //If ohb_item_prob_low > ohb_item_roll
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("ohb_101_item_great","global",1)
SetGlobal("ohb_item_reward","global",11)
END
The second check is there to prevent reiteration of the block like we saw with the ohb_raise_hero_score variable.
The third one is a comparison between the two variables we mentioned but that we still have to explain, ohb_item_prob_low and ohb_item_roll.
Finally, a new variable ohb_101_item_great is set if conditions are true.
Before I explain the roles of each variable let's advance one last time with our ohb_item_reward now at 11.
//Code from Brodle dialog file OHBBRODL.DLG
//This is a trigger (condition) to this dialog answer from Brodle
Global("ohb_item_reward","global",11)
//This is another trigger to the actions below
Global("ohb_101_item_great","global",1)
//This is the action performed if all triggers are matched
SetGlobal("ohb_101_item_great","global",2)
GiveItemCreate("blun24",LastTalkedToBy,1,0,0) //Give Gnasher +2 to talking party member
SetGlobal("ohb_item_reward","global",0)
When you come back from the arena Brodle will approach you and give you a reward if the conditions are met. In the case of the first battle, he would give you the Gnasher +2, a club that adds over time piercing damage with no save. Truly 'great' as the variable suggests.
It also sets this variable to 2, which means you won't be able to get another copy of the reward if you fight the same battle again (it prevents the blocks we studied to run).
Now, you may have noticed that sometimes you get a reward but other times none even if you asked for it. This all comes to the variables I didn't yet explained.
We know that ohb_item_roll is a number between 1 and 100 and that it compares to ohb_item_prob_low. ohb_item_prob_low itself was one of the first variables we saw and was set at 20. But then ohb_hero value was added to that. So, given we asked for a reward in the first battle, this value was 10 as set upon our entrance in the main area of the Black Pits II. That males for a ohb_item_prob_low value of 30.
Now if this value is greater than the random number of ohb_item_roll, the ohb_101_item_great and the ohb_item_reward variables are set to value that prompt the dialog of Brodle and the reward.
In that case, it means you have a 30% chance to get the Gnasher +2. See the role of ohb_hero? It adds its value to the probability of getting an item.
What I didn't tell you about yet is that there's an alternate reward to be offered for each battle. Remember the ohb_item_prob_high variable set to 45? Well, as the name suggests it's a higher probability to get another though less powerful item.
It follows the exact same path as the other great item but rather uses a ohb_101_item_good variable and of course the ohb_item_prob_high one.
Now don't worry, I will come to the practical part, sum up everything, tell you every kind of reward you can get and what's the best way to win them all.
[/spoiler]
b. Sum up
[spoiler]
- There are two different rewards to be won for a same battle
- To get a reward you must ask the crowd for one
- You can only get one reward per battle but can fight the same battle again to get another
- You can only get one copy of each kind of reward
- The chance to get a good item starts at 45%
- The chance to get a great item starts at 20%
- Your hero or villain score is added to you chance to get a good or great item
- Your hero or villain score starts at 10
- If you address the crowd as such, your hero or villain score increases by 1 for each battle
- Your hero or villain score cannot increase more than 3 times for a same battle
[/spoiler]
c. Strategy
[spoiler]Now that this is all clear I will give you my advice:
Do not hesitate to replay each battleYou should first aim to increase your score to the maximum of 3.
Then, reiterate until you get both rewards.
Your score follows you, which means that after 15 (x3) battles you'll have 100% chance to get the good item.
Another benefit is the added gold that frankly shouldn't be ignored given the price of items.
Never alternate between the hero and villain rolesThis is because when you raise the score of one the other decreases: completely counterproductive.
If you can and if your alignment permits, kill one of the notable items holder creaturesThis has to do with part 2).
My prime target would be Arzol.
But beware, she has 144 hit points which means you have to be pretty deadly to slay her before the Winged interrupts you.
I think a backstabber is required there.
Never buy +1 weapons and when possible buy +3 weaponsThis I learned the hard way.
Most enemies and quite soon I would say can only be hit by +2 or greater weapons. Some +3 and a few I believe +4.
A very useful trick especially at the beginning is to cast the Enchanted Weapon Wizard spell. It creates a +3 weapon for 1 day. Unfortunately, the types of weapon available are not to great (Mace, Axe, Long Sword, Short Sword). Still, it can be a life (and gold) saver.
On that same subject, I created a little mod using WeiDU to add Containers of Plenty +2 along with the +1 versions. Yes, I got scammed! I bought the Quiver for my Archer only to realize he couldn't hit anything with it.
