{{CharLink|Orin|Orin the Red}} kidnaps a party member under various circumstances. The easiest 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. Alternatively the party is confronted by Orin in disguise as the kidnapped victim in the [[Lower City Sewers]]. | |||

If Gale is the unlucky target, "he" approaches the party about the orb in his chest.

He transforms back into his humanoid self, claiming that the corruption of the city is eating away at him. "Halsin" puts a knife to his chest, which the party can either slap away, try to use medicine to find a way to treat Halsin, or try to persuade him to stand down. | ||
If Halsin's kidnapping is discovered in the sewers, he will burst out of a door and say he was forced to kill many people. He will break down at his guilt. Afterwards, Orin reveals herself and says the party must sharpen their wits to spare Halsin the true blade. | If Halsin's kidnapping is discovered in the sewers, he will burst out of a door and say he was forced to kill many people.

If Minthara is captured, "she" is covered in blood and claims that Isobel, Wyll, Karlach, or Jaheira was trying to kill her. "She" may show a dead body under a cloth, claiming it to be their corpse, slain in self defense. If neither Karlach, Wyll, Isobel, or Jaheira are available, "she" claims it is Yenna. "Minthara" says no one at camp is trustworthy and they must be slain in their sleep. Whatever the response, she reveals herself to be Orin. | If Minthara is captured, "she" is covered in blood and claims that Isobel, Wyll, Karlach, or Jaheira was trying to kill her.

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 - the winner takes the Netherstones.

She gives the party a location - [[Candulhallow's Tombstones]] and a password - 'Sicarius.' | ||

If the party begins dialogue with Orin and picks the wrong option or fails a check, Orin will murder the victim. To save the victim, the party must either succeed a check or use information on Orin's mother. Alternatively, they can simply begin combat by attacking (with or without surprise), bypassing the dialogue entirely. | After the party makes their way to the depths of the Temple of Bhaal, the victim will be found chained to the Altar of Bhaal.
