After finding the {{SmRarityItem|Bloodstained Parchment}} as part of the quest {{Quest|Solve the Open Hand Temple Murders}}, Valeria will direct the party to speak with Devella in the [[Elfsong Tavern]]. Devella will be on the upper floor of the Elfsong, behind a set of doors that are signposted as a murder scene, open only to the Flaming Fists. Devella will be here regardless of whether Valeria was spoken to, however she will leave if the party progresses too far with ''Investigate the Murders,'' after which she will next be found at Figaro's [[Facemaker's Boutique]]. | After finding the {{SmRarityItem|Bloodstained Parchment}} as part of the quest {{Quest|Solve the Open Hand Temple Murders}}, Valeria will direct the party to speak with Devella in the [[Elfsong Tavern]].

Devella will tell the party about {{CharLink|Sarevok Anchev}} and the {{CharLink|Bhaal|Cult of Bhaal}}, and her conclusion that they are still active despite outward appearances. She will eventually ask the party to help with her investigations, saying that she cannot risk her job by raising a fuss about Bhaalists and Bhaalspawn. If the party declines, she will ask them to at least investigate the Lower City murder targets who have been listed. Devella will then leave for the Upper City to secure the targeted patriars who she is oathbound to protect. | ||
Otherwise, the party can also use the crime scene to describe how Stelmane was killed by persuading Devella that they can help, or by lying and saying that they were "trained under Camber Fosrick, the world's greatest investigative mind" ({{Ability check|Investigation, Persuasion, Deception|dc=15}}). A successful check will result in Devella sharing her findings: The duke was paralysed by poison and her hand was removed pre-mortem. With a subsequent Persuasion or Perception check, Devella will divulge her theory - that the severed hands and "dioramas of death and murder" point to that the murders were perpetrated by Bhaalists. However, her conclusions also point to someone else being in charge of the slew of murder "dioramas". The party can then offer to help looking into the Bhaalist resurgence. | Otherwise, the party can also use the crime scene to describe how Stelmane was killed by persuading Devella that they can help, or by lying and saying that they were "trained under Camber Fosrick, the world's greatest investigative mind" ({{Ability check|Investigation, Persuasion, Deception|dc=15}}).
