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 a (scripted variation of) [[Spaceshunt Boots|boots with Dimension Door]] at level 5 that teleports 100 meters (66~ feet) away. One of the corpses contains a [[Tombstone Shop Key]] necessary for later on in the quest. Successfully warning Cora Highberry earns the [[File:Inspiration Icon.png|20x20px|link=]][[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] ''Wine Connoisseur'' ([[Noble]] background).

However, his [[Dimension Door]] can be [[Counterspell|Counterspelled]], meaning the party can simply kill him at his initial appearance and avoid the fight at [[Facemaker's Boutique]], if you are going to kill him here after the Counterspell he will likely to throw a potion to paralyze party member followed by a modified sneak attack that doesn't require an advantage and will always drink an invisibility potion to attempt a second escape, if he reaches his next turn he will cast Dimension Doors again at level 5.

Only after fleeing from the wine festival will Dolor be found with his last target, [[Figaro Pennygood]], at [[Facemaker's Boutique]], near the Baldur's Gate waypoint. Figaro and Gauntlet Devella can be found in the back room, paralyzed, while Dolor prepares to murder them. If the party chooses the option 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 (or cast [[Sanctuary]] on) her. Entering through the right (southmost) double door can also put you in a better position to save Devella. After the fight, Devella thanks the party and suggests searching Dolor's body for clues on what he intended to do next.
