Investigate the Murders

Investigate the Murders is a sub-quest of the quest Get Orin's Netherstone in Chapter Three of Baldur's Gate 3.

Objectives

• Follow the bloody trail of murders in Baldur's Gate.
  • Gortash told us how to find Orin the Red - follow the spate of murders across the city. The Open Hand Temple may be a good place to start.
• Investigate the murder of Duke Stelmane.
  • Duke Stelmane was ritualistically killed at the Elfsong Tavern shortly before our arrival into the city. We should investigate - it may help us find the Lord of Murder's Chosen.
• Find the unsually elaborate murder scene.
  • The Flaming Fist have found elaborate, ritualistic murder scenes around the city. They could be Bhaalist - and could lead us to Orin.
  • Gauntlet Devella asked us to check out an elaborate murder scene that could be Bhaalist in nature. It could lead us to Orin the Red.
• Show the Bhaalist target list to the Investigator.
  • Father Lorgan's name appears on a target list we found - tying his murder into a test for cultists to access the Temple of Bhaal. We should show Investigator Valeria.
• Talk to Gauntlet Devella in the Elfsong Tavern.
  • Investigator Valeria is now convinced Father Lorgan's murder is linked to a wider plot - and has asked us to bring the news to her constable, Gauntlet Devella, in the Lower City's Elfsong Tavern.
  • We found a target list for Bhaalist assassins hoping to access the Temple of Bhaal - presumably where we'll find Orin. Duke Stelmane's on this list. We should inform Gauntlet Devella.
• Find the victims on the Bhaalist target list.
  • We found a list of targets for Bhaalist murderers - the only victims left alive are in the Lower City. The murderers following this list are trying to gain access to the Temple of Bhaal, presumably where we'll find Orin.
  • We confirmed Franc Peartree was dead, as the Bhaalist target list noted. We should check on the other victims too.
  • One of the victims from the Bhaalist target list told us his killer was dressed in red. We should track down the remaining victims before they strike again.
  • We confirmed Alexander Rainforest was dead, as the Bhaalist target list noted. We should check on the other victims too.
  • A talkative rat in a Bhaalist victim's cellar saw the murderer - a dwarf dressed in red. We should track down the remaining victims before they strike again.
  • Chef Roveer is dead by our hands - we should check in on the other victims from the Bhaalist target list.
  • We warned Chef Roveer of the Bhaalist target list he's on - we should do the same for the other marked targets.
  • Nesha Leesha is dead by our hands - we should check in on the other victims from the Bhaalist target list.
  • We warned Nesha Leesha of the Bhaalist target list she's on - we should do the same for the other marked targets.
  • Figaro Pennygood is dead by our hands - we should check in on the other victims from the Bhaalist target list.
  • We warned Figaro Pennygood of the Bhaalist target list he's on - we should do the same for the other marked targets.
  • Gauntlet Devella is convinced the target list we found is linked to a wider Bhaalist plot. She asked us to follow the people noted on the list, save them if possible, and get more information about the Bhaalist cult.
• Chase down the serial killer.
  • We discovered Cora Highberry, one of the people noted on the Bhaalist target list, slaughtered brutally. Figaro Pennygood is next on the list - we need to find him before the killer does.
  • We saved Cora Highberry from a Bhaalist serial killer disguised as a wine merchant. Figaro Pennygood is next on the target list - we need to find him before the killer does.
• We stopped a spree of murders by taking down the killer - a dwarf named Dolor. We should check his body for any clues about finding the Bhaalist cult.
• Follow the serial killer.
  • The next victim on the Bhaalist target list is the late Figaro Pennygood. We should check his place - see if the killer stopped by and left any clues.
• Enter Candulhallow's Tombstones.
  • We found a note on Figaro Pennygood's corpse instructing his killer to enter Candulhallow's Tombstones with a passphrase - seems as though the Bhaalist cult may be there.
  • We found a note in the killer Dolor's pockets, instructing him to enter Candulhallow's Tombstones with a passphrase - seems the Bhaalist cult may be there.
  • We learned the passphrase we must speak at Candulhallow's Tombstones to meet with the Bhaalist cult.
• Infiltrate the Murder Tribunal.
  • We spoke the passphrase to enter Candulhallow's Tombstones - we should explore within to find the Bhaal cult.
• Debrief with the Investigator.
  • Justice Sarevok is dead by our hands - we should speak to his hollyphant captive before heading to the Temple of Bhaal.

• With Justice Sarevok and Investigator Valeria dead, we must search the Tribunal for a way of accessing the Temple of Bhaal.
• We became Unholy Assassins of Bhaal at the cost of Investigator Valeria's life - we wetted ourselves with her blood and were granted a way to access the Temple of Bhaal.
• We defeated the Justice Sarevok and his Murder Tribunal, stopping the serial killings in Baldur's Gate for now. To end them for good, we must find Orin.
• Justice Sarevok is dead by our hands - we can use his amulet to enter the Temple of Bhaal.
