 The party can also come across information on the murders by going up the stairs in the [[Elfsong Tavern]] and encountering the murder scene of Duke [[Belynne Stelmane]]. Here, they meet Gauntlet [[Devella Fountainhead]], who is investigating the murders in town and believes they are part of a Bhaalist conspiracy. The party can tell her they are adventurers, and use Perception, Investigation, or Insight to convince Devella they can be of use. If Devella believes they can help, she will give a [[Map of Murder]] that points to another crime scene.
-If the party starts with [[Solve the Open Hand Temple Murders]], they encounter Inspector [[Valeria]] who is charged with investigating the murders, and she refers the party to [[Gauntlet Devella]] once they've shown her sufficient proof of Bhaal's involvement in the murders. Otherwise, the party can share the information on the Bhaalists with Devella directly if they already encountered her at [[Elfsong Tavern]].

 Speaking to any of the deceased victims, or speaking with the rats in Rainforest's home, reveals that they were killed by a dwarf in red. Speaking to [[Ffion Goldgrind|Ffion Goldgrind's]] corpse in [[Fraygo's Flophouse]] reveals his name is [[Dolor Goldgrind|Dolor]] and he is her son, who killed her after she found out he was a serial killer.

-Choosing "I would love a glass" or "I hope you enjoy your wine" results in Cora being poisoned and killed. Otherwise, "Master Meztli" reveals himself to be the serial killer [[Dolor]] and is infuriated that his perfect crime was interrupted. He retreats, summoning multiple doppelgangers to keep the party busy. Dolor uses [[Boots of Dimension Door]] to immediately teleport away. One of the corpses contains a [[Tombstone Shop Key]] necessary for later on in the quest.

 ==== Figaro Pennygood ====
 [[Figaro Pennygood]] is in his shop, [[Facemaker's Boutique]], near the Baldur's Gate waypoint. After Dolor flees from the wine festival, he targets Figaro. After arriving in the boutique, both Figaro and Gauntlet Devella are in the back room, paralyzed, while Dolor is about to kill them. If the party chooses to sneak into a better position, Dolor is able to kill Figaro, while announcing themselves immediately saves Figaro's life. During the battle, Dolor will target Devella first, making it imperative to heal her. After the fight, Devella thanks the party and suggests searching Dolor's body for clues on what he intended to do next.
-Killing Dolor grants the party a bag of his victims' hands, as well as a [[Torn and Bloody Page]] with a poem from the Dirge of the Unholy Assassin. Reading the page provides a passphrase, '''Sicarius'',' and a location, [[Candulhallow's Tombstones|Canduhallow's Tombstones]].

-If the soul was actually slain by the party, then no deception checks are needed. Choosing the first two options or the last option make Sarevok and the echoes hostile. Otherwise, Sarevok leads the party to the Dread Lord's Abattoir, for the next challenge. Inside the abattoir is the hollyphant investigator, [[Valeria]]. The party must choose to kill Valeria, becoming a holy assassin of Bhaal, or slay Sarevok.

 An additional scene plays if either [[Minsc]] or [[Jaheira]] is in the party during the tribunal. Sarevok instantly recognizes them and declares them traitors. The party can respond by stating they are sacrifices offered up to Bhaal and kill them, or go through Intimidation or Performance checks to having Jaheira/Minsc kneel before the Tribunal. Doing the latter satisfies Sarevok enough to allow the Tribunal to continue and both Minsc and Jaheira can be baptised as unholy assassins.
