Renal Bloodscalp when killed drops speed boots, the problem is how to kill him as if you attack a shadow thief Akanis shows up and kills you with his vorpal weapon and in EE is not possible to kill him while in the pre EE game was possible to kill him draining a stat to 0.
Still in my last run I managed to kill Renal and survive to tell it. here is my recipe: at the end of chap 6, with the Rhynn Lanthorn the inventory and ready to leave the town and begin chap7, go to the Shadow Thief guildhall with all the party but the thief invisible. The thief should use a high damage weapon like the staff of striking or the staff of the ram and must have some invisibility potions in his quick slot. When you are ready the thief hides in shadows and stabs Renal then immediately goes invisible with a potion, then waits some seconds so the round ends and he can drink an other potion and stabs again, 2 or 3 stabs are enough to kill Renal, then waits again that the round ends, picks up the boots and quaffs an other potion. Then the party can safely run away, in my game Akanis did not even appear, they reach the area exit and it is done.
In the game there are only 6 pairs of speed boots and having all the party with permanent fast movement is really convenient to move fast trough the areas and to get tactical dominance in the battle. To get one of them an evil choice at the hells trials has to be done, for those that want to play good or neutral there is the grandmaster armor.
This trick is really easy to perform and allows you to play ToB without toons moving at different speed rates, I hope it helps.
