If the party found the ''Bloodstained Parchment'', showing it to Devella will confirm her suspicions about the Bhaalist involvement in the murders. Devella will tell the party about {{CharLink|Sarevok Anchev}} and the {{CharLink|Bhaal|Cult of Bhaal}}, and her conclusion that they are still active despite outward appearances. She will eventually ask the player to help with her investigations, saying that she cannot risk her job by raising a fuss about Bhaalists and Bhaalspawn. If the party declines, she will ask them to at least investigate the Lower City murder targets who have been listed. Devella will then leave for the Upper City to secure the targeted patriars who she is oathbound to protect. | If the party found the ''Bloodstained Parchment'', showing it to Devella will confirm her suspicions about the Bhaalist involvement in the murders.

Otherwise, the party can also use the crime scene to describe how Stelmane was killed by persuading Devella that they can help, or by lying and saying that they were "trained under Camber Fosrick, the world's greatest investigative mind" ({{Ability check|Investigation, Persuasion, Deception|dc=15}}). A successful check will result in Devella sharing her findings: The duke was paralysed by poison and her hand was removed pre-mortem. With a subsequent Persuasion or Perception check, Devella will divulge her theory - that the severed hands and "dioramas of death and murder" point to that the murders were perpetrated by Bhaalists. The party can then offer to help | Otherwise, the party can also use the crime scene to describe how Stelmane was killed by persuading Devella that they can help, or by lying and saying that they were "trained under Camber Fosrick, the world's greatest investigative mind" ({{Ability check|Investigation, Persuasion, Deception|dc=15}}).

The [[Dark Urge]] can reveal to Devella their true nature. Devella will be fascinated by this, especially considering her deduction that the murders are being committed by Bhaalists, given their ritualistic brutality. | |||
