{{CharLink|Orin|Orin the Red}} kidnaps a party member under various circumstances. One event trigger is long resting after arriving in the [[Lower City]]. Orin shapeshifts as the party member she abducts and speaks to the party. Orin only abducts characters who are at camp and not in the current party. If there are no eligible companions at camp (for example if only three party members were recruited at all, or by using a party limit extender mod), {{CharLink|Yenna}} will be kidnapped instead. If Orin's kidnapping has not been triggered through a long rest, it can also be triggered in the City Sewers. In this case, the event is mostly the same for each person - the kidnapping victim appears grievously injured and begs the party to run away, explaining how they were brutally tortured by Orin. Then, Orin reveals herself and the kidnapping plot. | |||

For this reason, she needs the party to step in and kill him. After this, she intends to face the party in a battle to the death - winner takes the Netherstones. As long as the party takes him down, she won't harm her captive. This initiates {{Quest|Rescue Orin's Victim}}. | ||
If the party chooses to pursue Gortash first and manages to complete | If the party chooses to pursue Gortash first and manages to complete {{Quest|Get Gortash's Netherstone}}, Orin sends a blood to letter to camp titled "Congratulations on the Murder of Gortash." She tells the party that they must now face the Murder Tribunal and become an unholy assassin of Bhaal before they can face her. She gives the party a location - [[Candulhallow's Tombstones]] and a password - 'Sicarius.' This starts {{Quest|Impress the Murder Tribunal}}. | ||
If the party does not want to face Gortash first, then | If the party does not want to face Gortash first, then {{Quest|Investigate the Murders}} must be completed. Finishing the quest also reveals the location and password for the tribunal. | ||

Sarevok states that there is no better mirror in which to see the true nature of a killer than his victim. Thus, he summons the image of one of the murder victims.

If the soul was actually slain by the party, then no deception checks are needed. Choosing the first two options or the last option make Sarevok and the echoes hostile. Otherwise, Sarevok leads the party to the Dread Lord's Abattoir, for the next challenge. Inside the abattoir is the hollyphant investigator, Valeria. | If the soul was actually slain by the party, then no deception checks are needed.

Sarevok instantly recognizes them and accuses them of meddling in his father's affairs. The party can respond by stating they are sacrifices offered up to Bhaal and kill them or side with Jaheira / Minsc and attack the Tribunal or go through an Intimidation or Performance check to force Jaheira/Minsc to kneel before the Tribunal. Doing the latter satisfies Sarevok enough to allow the Tribunal to continue. Killing Jaheira / Minsc will more than satisfy the Tribunal so the questioning about the murdered victims is skipped entirely and Sarevok starts walking to the abattoir. | ||

If the check is passed, Orin ignores the victim and faces the party, along with several unholy assassins. A [[Dark Urge]] character does not have to pass a check to save the kidnapped victim, as Orin's personal history with the character makes it easy to grab her attention away from the victim. However, the Dark Urge is expected to duel Orin one-on-one, without involving the rest of the party or Orin's allies. | If the check is passed, Orin ignores the victim and faces the party, along with several unholy assassins.
