“I welcome thee to the Devil's Fee, where every hellish curio's a rarity! So merry be - and shop with glee.„
Overview[edit | edit source]
Helsik is a warlock in service to the archdevil Mammon; possibly the richest being in existence and a miser who is loyal only to coin. At her store, the Devil's Fee, she also trades in curios and information, having a large and rare collection of Hellish items that she has accumulated in her occupation as a diabolist.
However, Helsik was not satisfied with the coin that trading curios brought in, and decided to diversify her skills into providing "access". [1]
Involvement[edit | edit source]
Helsik will initially only offer Alchemy ingredients, Grenades, and Dyes but the party can unlock trading access to her "Curated Selection" by passing multiple DC 5 Perception check to notice the various diabolic curios in her collection and at least one DC 15 Arcana check to identify the items as genuine. The character will say "Must be a diabolist running this shop with so many devilish artifacts" to indicate that the curated selection dialogue is available. These Arcana checks have a DC of 0 for Karlach due to her time spent in the hells.
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.
Breaking into the House of Hope[edit | edit source]
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.
Upon convincing her to aid them, Helsik will give the party a Grimoire Bound in Imp Skin, Opening a Hell Gate, and a 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.
NOTE: If the party previously stole from Helsik before she handles the ritual items, she will angrily kick the party out of the store and seal the door; attempting to return to the store will result in her turning hostile.
After returning from the House of Hope[edit | edit source]
Once the party returns from the House of Hope, Helsik will demand that they turn over the Gauntlets of Hill Giant Strength or else pay the original proposed fee of 20,000 gold. The party can pass a DC 10 Intimidation check to keep the Gauntlets without Helsik turning hostile.
Helsik will only ask for the gauntlets after the player finishes all the related quests in the House of Hope.
