Derryth Bonecloak: Difference between revisions

On the western edge of the [[Ebonlake Grotto|Myconid Colony]], the player will find Derryth pacing in front of a tent and grumbling about her missing husband, [[Baelen Bonecloak|Baelen]]. When talking to her for the first time, she asks if the player has seen her husband. If not, she can be asked about Baelen which will reveal—alongside her low opinion of him—that she sent Baelen on an errand and he hasn't returned yet. She welcomes the player to look for him, but refuses to pay any ransoms if he is found and returned to her.

If Baelen is rescued, then Derryth will reward the player with the [[Gloves of Uninhibited Kushigo]]. She begrudgingly thanks the player and explains that she and her husband are in the [[Underdark]] collecting [[Noblestalk]], a mushroom with incredible restorative abilities. She needs it to save their shop in [[Baldur's Gate]] after Baelen nearly ran it bankrupt to pay for alcohol. If the player mentions that they found some Noblestalk, Derryth asks for it though she has nothing to offer in exchange. If the player gives Derryth the mushroom, she will thank them and encourage them to visit her shop in The Gate — [[Bonecloak's Apothecary]].

If Baelen was not rescued, then Derryth will be running the store alone, melancholy when thinking of her late husband and lamenting that they both deserved better. She believes that Baelen's soul found its way to The City of Judgement, wasting away unclaimed as a faithless. The player can encourage one of three cats near the store —[[Myshka]], [[Malta]], or [[Barsik]]— to join Derryth in her shop so that she's less lonely.  

Otherwise, if Baelen was rescued and the player used the Noblestalk to heal him, he will be running the store alone and will not have any Noblestalk to sell. Derryth can be found in the [[Elfsong Tavern]], where she thanks the player for healing Baelen since it led to her finally leaving him for good. She comments that she doesn't have much to her name now but the freedom and peace of mind is worth it.

* In previous updates, it was possible to give the [[Noblestalk]] to Derryth, pickpocket it back, and then use it for another NPC (Baelen, Thulla, Shadowheart, etc), while still retaining the later gains of the [[Noblestalk]] that Derryth could supply in Act 3. This is no longer possible without the use of mods or cheats. Derryth will still hand off the quest reward for giving her the [[Noblestalk]], but upon arrival at her store, she still will be in dire straits, and there will be the dialogue option to give Derryth the [[Noblestalk]], if the party still possesses it. Upon doing so, Derryth will then sell the additional three (3) [[Noblestalk]] as if you never had pickpocketed it from her.
