At first, Helsik will only have dialogue options to trade with the party, but if the party has sufficiently progressed [[Deal with the Devil]], [[Help Kith'rak Voss]], and/or [[The Githyanki Warrior]], and also passed at least one Arcana check then they can reveal her as a diabolist, which unlocks special dialogue options to talk about the [[House of Hope]].
At first, Helsik will only have dialogue options to trade with the party, but if the party has sufficiently progressed [[Deal with the Devil]], [[Help Kith'rak Voss]], and/or [[The Githyanki Warrior]], and also passed at least one Arcana check then they can reveal her as a diabolist, which unlocks special dialogue options to talk about the [[House of Hope]].
Ways to unlock the House of Hope dialogue:
* {{Dialogue option|Are you perchance a diabolist?|roll=Persuasion|dc=18}} (if only 1 Arcana check was passed)
* {{Dialogue option|Your hoard of genuine infernal items is impressive - show me the ''really'' good stuff.}} (if 2 or more Arcana checks were passed)
* {{Dialogue option|Curios don't interest me. I'm interested in the Hells themselves - a place called the House of Hope in particular.}} (if 2 or more Arcana checks were passed, or if the party read {{SmRarityItem|Scrapbook of Letters}} or {{SmRarityItem|Note from Director Gortash}})
* {{Dialogue option|Ever met an orthon? I have - he told me you're a diabolist.}} (if {{CharLink|Yurgir}} came to camp and was talked to)
* {{Dialogue option|Did you help Lord Gortash retrieve some hellish curios by any chance?}}
* {{Dialogue option|I know you're a diabolist who worked for Gortash. What did you do for him?}} (if the party read {{SmRarityItem|Note from Helsik}})
* {{Dialogue option|I found some interesting reading material downstairs. You're a diabolist, it seems.}} (if the party read {{SmRarityItem|The Enigmatic Art of Hemomancy}} in the basement)
Helsik will then tell the party they can ask questions for the right amount of coin. The party can then respond with one of the following options:
* {{Dialogue option|Here's 100 gold.}}
* {{Dialogue option|How about 1000 gold?}}
* {{Dialogue option|It's customary for any salesperson to offer a free sample.|roll=Persuasion|dc=15}} (except Rogue/Warlock)
* {{Dialogue option|You know, any saleswoman worth her salt offers a free sample.|tags=Rogue|roll=Persuasion|dc=10}}
* {{Dialogue option|I'm also of the pact-bound persuasion - don't suppose I can have a free sample?|tags=Fiend|roll=Persuasion|dc=10}}
* {{Dialogue option|I'm something of a diabolist myself - perhaps you could spare a little free knowledge?|tags=Fiend|roll=Persuasion|dc=10|advantage=y}}
She will finally introduce herself as a diabolist, and the party can then ask her whether she helped {{CharLink|Enver Gortash}} to steal the {{IconLink|size=20|Crown of Karsus Faded.png|Crown of Karsus}}, and if she opened a portal to [[Mephistopheles]]' vaults in the Hells for him to pull off the heist.
===Dark Urge===
Helsik will recognize the Dark Urge, handing them the {{SmRarityItem|Gibus of the Worshipful Servant}} which {{CharLink|Sceleritas Fel}} left at the Devil's Fee. This completely skips the usual requirements to unlock the House of Hope dialogue. She says she can tell the Urge more about their past for the price of gold, and 100 or 1000 gold convinces her to reveal that she helped the Urge and Gortash steal the {{SmRarityItem|Crown of Karsus}}.


===Breaking into the House of Hope===
===Breaking into the House of Hope===
Helsik can help the party break into the Hells, however she will only offer her services in return for 20,000 gold. The party can either pay her the 20,000 gold or convince her to halve the price:

* {{Dialogue option|I serve a creature not unlike Lord Mammon - surely you can lower the price.|tags=Fiend, Warlock|roll=Persuasion|dc=25}}
* {{Dialogue option|Look, we both know your patron doesn't need that much. Lower the price.|tags=Warlock|roll=Persuasion|dc=25}}
* {{Dialogue option|You'll halve that price or I'll halve you.|roll=Intimidation|dc=25}}
* {{Dialogue option|Cut the price or I cut you into little pieces. ''CHOOSE.''|tags=Barbarian|roll=Intimidation|dc=25|advantage=y}}
 
Optionally, the party can try and convince her you'll retrieve something for her (Starts [[Acquire the Gauntlets for Helsik]]):
* {{Dialogue option|Waive the fee and I'll add one of Raphael's artefacts to your collection.|roll=Persuasion|dc=20}}
* {{Dialogue option|I'm a skilled thief - give me free passage and I'll bring you back a 'souvenir'.|tags=Rogue|roll=Persuasion|dc=20|advantage=y}}


Upon convincing her to aid them, Helsik will give the party a {{SmRarityItem|Grimoire Bound in Imp Skin}}, {{SmRarityItem|Opening a Hell Gate}}, and a {{SmRarityItem|Ritual Pouch}} containing the items needed to open the portal. She then directs the party upstairs to a pentagram where they can perform the ritual to open a portal to the [[House of Hope]].
