Great - we can bunk with ten other people and pray none of them have sticky fingers!

Overview

Upon approaching the building, any party member may pass a  Perception check and recognize the flowery motif on the Flophouse patter, in case they have already found the  Flowery Key in the tunnels beneath Open Hand Temple in Rivington. Near the entrance,  Crak and  Rilia are discussing the lack of decent places to stay in the city.

The ground floor of the Flophouse consists of a mess hall and a kitchen. Between them is a wide stairs leading to the first floor. In the mess hall the player character can trade with  Trader Griska, who has various potions and alchemical ingredients in stock. Also, speaking to the adventurers  Drim and  Rosanna can bring approval from some companions (available for all character classes except  Sorcerer). In the kitchen, the cook  Queelia Arvis can sell some Camp Supplies.

Also, a flophouse employee  Dashkent Moliver walks back and forth between the reception desk and the kitchen. If the party has progressed the ⁠Solve the Open Hand Temple Murders quest far enough to know that the killer dresses in red, they can ask Moliver about it.

First floor

The first floor is divided in two by the corridor starting from the stairs; both parts are lodgings with several bunks and a locked Wooden Chest near each one. The corridor is constantly patrolled by  Worker Bernyr and ends with a locked door to the outer balcony to the west and a small bathroom to the east. All containers here (as well as the backdoor) are red-outlined, but the chests can be looted with the help of sight-blocking means like  Fog Cloud.

In the southern part of the room, two vampire spawns -  Dalyria and  Pale Petras - can be found arguing. These two are  Astarion's siblings, and interacting with them progresses his ⁠companion quest. The dialogue differs depending on whether the party know (or don't know) the true purpose of the scars on Astarion's back.

However, the interaction itself is possible only if none of the party members has a light effect active, or an item with such effect equipped (such as  Daylight or  The Blood of Lathander). Otherwise, both spawn receive  Sunlight Hypersensitivity and teleport away . If playing as Astarion Origin, interacting with the spawns grants some approval or disapproval, depending on the player character's choices during the dialogue.

If Astarion is currently not present, the player character may eavesdrop on the spawns' conversation (requires a  DC 10 Stealth check for a  Rogue character, or a  DC 15 Stealth check for all others). If successful, they hear Dalyria and Petras discussing their master, the pending ritual and Astarion's disappearance. Regardless of the roll result, the player character gets involved in the dialogue, and a carefully chosen bluff helps to fish the necessary information out of the heedless couple.

Second floor

Up a ladder on the second floor at X: -12 Y: 87 is an attic with a red-outlined wardrobe at X: -17 Y: 82 which can be opened with the  Flowery Key. However, if the party have not obtained the key, they may lockpick the door with a  DC 25 Sleight of Hand check roll, or use the backdoor to the outer balcony at X: -29 Y: 80, which is neither locked nor red-outlined, and thus available from outside by most means of spatial movement. The room inside, by several interior details and documents (like  Bloodstained Note and  Open Hand Temple Plans), may be identified as the  serial killer's hideout.

A successful  DC 10 Perception check followed by a  DC 10 Investigation check allows the party to find bloody spots near the bed and find  Ffion Goldgrind's body. Using  Speak with Dead on her provides the party with some information on the serial murders. Several items here can be interacted with to gain more information about the Open Hand Temple murders. In particular, picking up a copy of the  Bloodstained Parchment from the table to the right of the entrance is necessary to progress the ⁠Solve the Open Hand Temple Murders quest. Also, the room can be looted for some poisons and alchemical ingredients to derive them.
