==Objectives==

* The corpse of Brilgor mentioned that he and Father Lorgan were murdered in a hidden tunnel beneath the Open Hand Temple - we can access it through the temple crypt.

* Brother Donnick told us that Father Lorgan's corpse was found in the crypt underneath the temple kitchens. We could look there to find more information.

Brilgor's answers:

* Are you Brilgor? ''Yes...''

* Where did you die? ''Tunnels...Beneath temple...Hidden from sight...''

* Were you alone when you died? ''Father Lorgan...Helping me...''

* Why was he helping you? ''Fists...After me...Needed to hide...''

The crime scene can be found via a hatch in the kitchen (X:-62, Y:3). There are pools of blood which can be followed to the exact location of the murders. However, the drops of blood abruptly stops in front of what appears to be a stone wall. There are two ways to get past this and into the secret tunnels beyond. The first is to go into the adjoining room to the south and jump over the cracks in the wall (X:16, Y:-1026). The 'proper' way to enter the tunnels is by locating the secret buttons in the crypt. These buttons are obscured by heraldry (X:17, Y:-1000) and  (X:18, Y:-1015) on the walls to the left and right of the stone wall.

* Did you kill Father Lorgan? ''No...Dolor did...Splendid...Kill...''

* What were you doing here? ''Cleaning up...Dolor...Messy...Left his dagger...Careless...''

With a successful perception roll, the party notices a hole in the ground (X:67, Y:-1018), which contains the murder weapon, [[Stillmaker]].

With a perception check, blood can be noticed on the floor near the bed (X:-13, Y:76). Choosing to examine the blood leads to an investigation check of 10. If passed, it can be noticed that a body has been hidden under the bed. Pulling out the body reveals the corpse of [[Ffion Goldgrind]]. As with the other corpses, Ffion can be spoken to with Speak with Dead:

After leaving the Open Hand Temple, Valeria can be found drinking upstairs in [[Sharess' Caress]] (X:24, Y:92). Speaking with Valeria and selecting "Afraid so - I've found new evidence, Investigator." allows the party to share the results of their investigation. Selecting "Father Lorgan's murder is just one part of a bigger plot, a Bhaal plot." and then "It's not a theory - I have proof. This document contains information connecting the murders to the Bhaalist resurgence." allows the party to show Valeria the bloodstained parchment. The party member who speaks to Valeria must have the bloodstained parchment and Stillmaker in their inventory to get dialogue options about them.
