 Helsik will initially only offer [[Alchemy]] ingredients, [[Grenades]], and [[Dyes]] but the party can unlock trading access to her "''Curated Selection''" by passing multiple {{Ability Check|Perception|5}} to notice the various diabolic curios in her collection and at least one {{Ability Check|Arcana|15}} to identify the items as genuine. The character will say ''"Must be a diabolist running this shop with so many devilish artifacts"'' to indicate that the curated selection dialogue is available. These Arcana checks have a DC of 0 for {{CharLink|Karlach}} due to her time spent in the hells.
-At first, Helsik will only have dialogue options to trade with the party, but if the party has sufficiently progressed [[Deal with the Devil]], [[Help Kith'rak Voss]], and/or [[The Githyanki Warrior]], and also passed at least one Arcana check then they can unlock special dialogue discussing the [[House of Hope]].
+At first, Helsik will only have dialogue options to trade with the party, but if the party has sufficiently progressed [[Deal with the Devil]], [[Help Kith'rak Voss]], and/or [[The Githyanki Warrior]], and also passed at least one Arcana check then they can reveal her as a diabolist, which unlocks special dialogue options to talk about the [[House of Hope]].
-Ways to unlock the House of Hope dialogue:
-* {{Dialogue option|Are you perchance a diabolist?|roll=Persuasion|dc=18}} (if only 1 Arcana check was passed)
-* {{Dialogue option|Curios don't interest me. I'm interested in the Hells themselves - a place called the House of Hope in particular.}} (if 2 or more Arcana checks were passed, or if the party read {{SmRarityItem|Scrapbook of Letters}} or {{SmRarityItem|Note from Director Gortash}})
-The party can also ask her whether she helped {{CharLink|Enver Gortash}} to steal the {{IconLink|size=20|Crown of Karsus Faded.png|Crown of Karsus}}. In return for a contribution of 100 or 1000 gold, Helsik can confirm that she opened a portal to [[Mephistopheles]]' vaults in the Hells for him to pull off the heist.
-===Dark Urge===
-Helsik will recognize the Dark Urge, handing them the {{SmRarityItem|Gibus of the Worshipful Servant}} which {{CharLink|Sceleritas Fel}} left at the Devil's Fee. This completely skips the usual requirements to unlock the House of Hope dialogue. She says she can tell the Urge more about their past for the price of gold, and 100 or 1000 gold convinces her to reveal that she helped the Urge and Gortash steal the {{SmRarityItem|Crown of Karsus}}.
 ===Breaking into the House of Hope===
-Helsik can help the party break into the Hells, however she will only offer her services in return for 20,000 gold. The party can either pay her the 20,000 gold or convince her to halve the price:

-* {{Dialogue option|I serve a creature not unlike Lord Mammon - surely you can lower the price.|tags=Fiend, Warlock|roll=Persuasion|dc=25}}
-* {{Dialogue option|Look, we both know your patron doesn't need that much. Lower the price.|tags=Warlock|roll=Persuasion|dc=25}}
-* {{Dialogue option|You'll halve that price or I'll halve you.|roll=Intimidation|dc=25}}
-* {{Dialogue option|Cut the price or I cut you into little pieces. ''CHOOSE.''|tags=Barbarian|roll=Intimidation|dc=25|advantage=y}}
-Optionally, the party can try and convince her you'll retrieve something for her (Starts [[Acquire the Gauntlets for Helsik]]):
-* {{Dialogue option|Waive the fee and I'll add one of Raphael's artefacts to your collection.|roll=Persuasion|dc=20}}
-* {{Dialogue option|I'm a skilled thief - give me free passage and I'll bring you back a 'souvenir'.|tags=Rogue|roll=Persuasion|dc=20|advantage=y}}
 Upon convincing her to aid them, Helsik will give the party a {{SmRarityItem|Grimoire Bound in Imp Skin}}, {{SmRarityItem|Opening a Hell Gate}}, and a {{SmRarityItem|Ritual Pouch}} containing the items needed to open the portal. She then directs the party upstairs to a pentagram where they can perform the ritual to open a portal to the [[House of Hope]].
