yea actually you can sneak into his house as sorc too
same thing happened to me
I posted the vine climb down doesnt exist bug
but to not spoil you have to move something to get back up, just as you pointed out the only way out is..
well out the front..
thought this was fixed though
Pretty sure you just use the oil on the statue - send me your saved game - info@infamous-quests.com and I'll see if it's bugged.

Okay, haha, it's not bugged; You're using the wrong kind of oil. You're trying to use the sticky fish oil in a glass. That won't work; find another store that'll sell you a little vial of oil used to lubrication!
