Helsik will initially only offer [[Alchemy]] ingredients, [[Grenades]], and [[Dyes]] but the party can unlock trading access to her "''Curated Selection''" by passing multiple {{Ability Check|Perception|5}} to notice the various diabolic curios in her collection and at least one {{Ability Check|Arcana|15}} 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 {{CharLink|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 unlock special dialogue discussing the [[House of Hope]].

Ways to unlock the House of Hope dialogue:
Ways to unlock the House of Hope dialogue:
* {{Dialogue option|Are you perchance a diabolist?|roll=Persuasion|dc=18}} (if only 1 Arcana check was passed)
* {{Dialogue option|Are you perchance a diabolist?|roll=Persuasion|dc=18}} (if only 1 Arcana check was passed)
* {{Dialogue option|Your hoard of genuine infernal items is impressive - show me the ''really'' good stuff.}} (if 2 or more Arcana checks were passed)
* {{Dialogue option|Curios don't interest me. I'm interested in the Hells themselves - a place called the House of Hope in particular.}} (if 2 or more Arcana checks were passed, or if the party read {{SmRarityItem|Scrapbook of Letters}} or {{SmRarityItem|Note from Director Gortash}})
* {{Dialogue option|Curios don't interest me. I'm interested in the Hells themselves - a place called the House of Hope in particular.}} (if 2 or more Arcana checks were passed, or if the party read {{SmRarityItem|Scrapbook of Letters}} or {{SmRarityItem|Note from Director Gortash}})
* {{Dialogue option|Ever met an orthon? I have - he told me you're a diabolist.}} (if {{CharLink|Yurgir}} came to camp and was talked to)
* {{Dialogue option|Did you help Lord Gortash retrieve some hellish curios by any chance?}}
* {{Dialogue option|I know you're a diabolist who worked for Gortash. What did you do for him?}} (if the party read {{SmRarityItem|Note from Helsik}})
* {{Dialogue option|I found some interesting reading material downstairs. You're a diabolist, it seems.}} (if the party read {{SmRarityItem|The Enigmatic Art of Hemomancy}} in the basement)


The party can also ask her whether she helped {{CharLink|Enver Gortash}} to steal the {{IconLink|size=20|Crown of Karsus Faded.png|Crown of Karsus}}. In return for a contribution of 100 or 1000 gold, Helsik can confirm that she opened a portal to [[Mephistopheles]]' vaults in the Hells for him to pull off the heist.  
Helsik will then tell the party they can ask questions for the right amount of coin. The party can then respond with one of the following options:
 
* {{Dialogue option|Here's 100 gold.}}
* {{Dialogue option|How about 1000 gold?}}
* {{Dialogue option|It's customary for any salesperson to offer a free sample.|roll=Persuasion|dc=15}} (except Rogue/Warlock)
* {{Dialogue option|You know, any saleswoman worth her salt offers a free sample.|tags=Rogue|roll=Persuasion|dc=10}}
* {{Dialogue option|I'm also of the pact-bound persuasion - don't suppose I can have a free sample?|tags=Fiend|roll=Persuasion|dc=10}}
* {{Dialogue option|I'm something of a diabolist myself - perhaps you could spare a little free knowledge?|tags=Fiend|roll=Persuasion|dc=10|advantage=y}}
 
She will finally introduce herself as a diabolist, and the party can then ask her whether she helped {{CharLink|Enver Gortash}} to steal the {{IconLink|size=20|Crown of Karsus Faded.png|Crown of Karsus}}, and if she opened a portal to [[Mephistopheles]]' vaults in the Hells for him to pull off the heist.
