how do i get in to the house up north in the temple district with the locked door?
when i try to lockpick they say that strangers are not welcome...

I have yet to actually get a quest that sent me there- though I bet there is one. BUT- I did go in anyway out of curiosity- he he. Just be ready for a tough fight with some tough mages and go on in and kill them all and plunder the house. No one seems to care except those inside. Beware of traps while plundering though!!

You are talking about the one next to the Radiant Heart- right? The guarded compound?

I did the exact same thing as Tara =)

But in the case that you are speaking about the house just next to the temple of Lathander, you have to have the dwarf from the Copper Coronet with you to get in.
