Iskar tip --
I know it works in skeleton form (Call of Bones, etc); I presume a wolf form would work as well if someone can cast on you.
Acquire lots of bandages -- 50pp worth or so. Maybe more? Depends on how high of buffer faction you want to go. Amiable? Ally?
Perform Bandages quest in Misty:

Spend an hour or 3 at this .. Hand that little feller four at a time. Obtain carpal tunnel.
This raises faction with most of Rivervale (but lowers with FP cavern merchants?).
As said, it doesn't touch Cleric folks there -- but 'the rest' it raises.
When slaughtering the guards, you loose all this faction you gained except for the Rivervale rogues.
Bind at top of Fools Gold.. collect your millions of spears and shields. Gate. Sell to rogue vendor at top. Hop out window. Run to bank/misty. Repeat.
