Chapter One

If Baelen is rescued, Derryth will reluctantly accept his return and thank the party, explaining that she and her husband are in the Underdark to look for Noblestalk, a mushroom with incredible restorative properties. She plans to sell it to keep their shop afloat in Baldur's Gate after Baelen had nearly ran it bankrupt to pay for drink. When asked about their cold relationship, it's implied that Baelen was abusive towards her before he had lost his mind.

If the player mentions that they found some Noblestalk, Derryth asks for it though she has nothing more to offer in exchange. She will, however, give up her wedding ring if intimidated for a reward. Once given, she will thank them and request they visit them at her shop in Baldur's Gate — Bonecloak's Apothecary.

If the Noblestalk is given directly Baelen, he will consume it to regain his senses, much to Derryth's horror. Baelen will likewise ask the party to visit them in Baldur's Gate saying that he owes them one. Derryth condemns the party and will refuse to trade, telling them to leave her alone.

Act Three

If Baelen was not given the Noblestalk, he will be found at Bonecloak's, helping Derryth with the shop. If the Noblestalk was not given to Derryth previously, Derryth will mention that the shop will not be able to stay open much longer.

Going through Derryth's journal upstairs in this iteration will reveal that, at some point in the past, Derryth was especially sick of Baelen's drinking and abuse after their return from one Underdark expedition and vowed in writing "if he hits me again, he's going to find some wyvern toxin in his porridge the next morning," explaining Baelen's disposition in Act One.

If Baelen was given the Noblestalk, he will be found alone at his shop, saying that Derryth had run off one night, fearing his wrath for using him.

In this iteration, Derryth's journal will instead talk about how she regrets how the years she's spent suffering under her husband had hardened her heart and made her as cold as Baelen was. With Balen now cured, she decides she no longer wishes to stay.

Notes

  • After being given the Noblestalk, Derryth mentions that she'll be on her way and informs her husband that they're leaving.
  • While Derryth states that the shop will no longer be able to stay open without the Noblestalk, the shop will be available for the entire duration of Chapter Three.
