Got the package and delivered it to Caius before I stumbled across the
tax collector. I even tried stealing something and going to jail, but
then I lost my two companions. I may have to go back to an earlier
save and lose some game time.

I suppose you could use the console to get an Erkash Lockspltter scoll
and unlock the 100 lock door at the other exit to the Census Office.
Or cast an Intervention to leave the office (assuming you know the
spell or have a scroll)

If I use the Intervention scroll, I lose my companions. What is the
console command to get the Locksplitter scroll?

THe console command is placeatpc, but I don't know the ID for the
scroll. Nor do I know any vendor who reliably sells at as it seems to
be only available randomly each game. Maybe someone who dinks with
the construction set or knows an online site with IDs can help?

>From the FAQ on using placeatpc:
'placeatpc "sharn gra-muzgob", 1,1,1' will place the npc who's ID-
name is "Sharn gra-Muzgob" in front of the pc. This is useful if the
npc has disappeared, as Sharn was want to do in the game before her
tendency to fall through the floor of the Mage's Guild was patched.
You can also place objects at the pc location by using the
appropriate
identifier. If you have an npc who has dissappeared, you may need to
go the construction set or to an earlier save game to get their ID-
name. You can get the ID-name of an onscreen character by opening
the
conole and clicking on the character. The ID-name will show up at
the
top of the console window.

You might want to check the read me files that came with your companion
mod(s). Most mods that add companions give them the ability to use
Recall and Intervention spells. It should also tell you how to reunite
your character with a companion if separated from him/her.

If you leave the office by unorthodox means (like the console or using
intervention
spell) the problem remains if you enter the office in the future. Always
exploit all
dialogue options. With SG it is the "duties". If it is not an option, try
using the
console command "addtopic duties" when talking to him, and the topic should
show up after your next question. The construction set contains all the
console commands (under help -> functions)
