Upon the first [[Long Rest]] after crossing the bridge between the [[Emerald Grove]] and [[Blighted Village|Moonhaven]], a [[tiefling]] [[bard]] named {{CharLink|Alfira}} joins the camp at night and expresses interest in joining them as a camp follower. Whether the Dark Urge agrees with her request or forces her to leave, it matter little for they wake up during the night over Alfira's corpse, the Dark Urge's hands dripping in blood. Trying to remember of what happened requires an Intelligence DC 12 check which, if passed, shows a glimpse of Alfira as she is being murdered by the Dark Urge's own hands. Another option is to look for signs on what happened which requires an [[Investigation]] DC 7 check. If passed, the Dark Urge notices the utter ravaging of Alfira's body which most of it had occurred after she had died, while the Dark Urge's dominant hand aching from stabbing. It is recommended to do the Intelligence check first since selecting the Investigation option moves the conversation forward.

* '''Option 2''': Going to sleep without trying to hide the body or washing the blood. The next day the party confronts the Dark Urge who can admit that they are responsible or say that they saw nothing or blame a wild animal.

** Saying that they killed her: {{Approval|Astarion|+1}} {{Approval|Gale|-1}} They can afterwards make a DC 18 [[Deception]] roll to claim that [[Alfira]] had attacked the Dark Urge. If they believe them, the matter is dropped. However if the Deception roll is failed it causes: {{Approval|Gale|-1}} {{Approval|Lae'zel|-1}} {{Approval|Shadowheart|-1}}

** Saying that they saw nothing requires no check to be made but because of the blood on them, the party does not believe the Dark Urge.

** The dialogue options are similar to '''Option 2''' with the notable exceptions that the party believes the Dark Urge if they claim that they saw nothing and the option to use Deception has a DC 15 instead of 7. This is likely a developer mistake and the two numbers should had been reversed (DC 15 for Option 2 and DC 7 for Option 3). Failing the deception check causes: {{Approval|Gale|-1}} {{Approval|Lae'zel|-1}} {{Approval|Shadowheart|-1}}

If the Dark Urge is held responsible for Alfira's murder most companions in private conversations will be wary of the Dark Urge and vow to keep a closer eye on them with the exception of [[Astarion]] who does not disapprove of their actions. Most companions will also blame the [[Mind Flayer Tadpole|tadpole]] for the erratic behavior. Regardless of which path is taken, Astarion knows what happened and his greeting accordingly changes calling the Dark Urge 'dagger-happy friend', among other remarks. Alfira's death also earns the '''Snipping the Chords''' [[Inspiration]] to the Dark Urge.

If Alfira had been killed or was [[Knocked Out (Condition)|knocked out]] prior to this Long Rest causes {{CharLink|Quil Grootslang}} to show up instead. The scene is otherwise identical. Alternatively, if after Alfira or Quil appears the Dark Urge is killed before ending the night, the above cutscenes will not play; the Urge may then be resurrected the next day. In this scenario the bard will '''still''' appear ritually sacrificed at dawn, but when [[Sceleritas Fel]] appears he will admit to arranging the Urge's affairs in their absence. The player will not receive the earlier Inspiration point or {{SmRarityItem|The Deathstalker Mantle}}.
