Involvement

Act Three

Eni is in the Bhaal Temple in the Undercity of Baldur's Gate. He stands on the upper balcony of the temple and never descends to the central altar ground.

Eni discusses with  Mitchia Orin's victim, who is displayed in a side alcove – one of those whom Orin impersonated to speak to the party in Rivington. If spoken with, he confesses his skill is not refined, and is eager to learn from Mitchia, Orin, or the Dark Urge. His one-liners depend on whether the Dark Urge embraces or rejects their Bhaalspawn legacy.

Loot

• Murderous Cut
• 3x Dagger
• Leather Armour

Idle banter

• Eni

  Tell me, then. If you were Orin, how would you have killed it?

• Mitchia

  I would never dare to compare myself to Lady Orin.

• Mitchia

  But if it were my kill... Well. It would've been slower.

• Eni

  You'd have poisoned your prey? Seems a bit... dull.

• Mitchia

  Not if the poison made the skin leak blood and the eyes weep pus. Be creative.

• Eni

  I believe Orin first made an incision in the upper left clavicle.

• Mitchia

  I am afraid I must disagree. Orin's first cut was quite clearly the throat.

• Eni

  But... would she not toy with the victim? Why begin with a death blow?

• Mitchia

  A proper cut throat does not kill right away. It bleeds the victim.

• Eni

  Like a prize piglet, trussed up for the slaughter... Yes. You're quite right.

• Eni

  You are well studied in Lady Orin's ways, I see

• Mitchia

  One cannot be a true Unholy Assassin without knowing their betters.

• Mitchia

  And we've never seen a murderer quite like Lady Orin before. No one has.

• Mitchia

  So tell me. If this was your kill, how would you have done it?

• Eni

  I'd have ripped the spine out, and worn its carcass as a cowl.

• Mitchia

  Inventive, but wasteful. What of the backbone - you would discard it?

• Eni

  Of course not. I'd save it for later - there's always use for a spine.
