She is accompanied by her husband {{CharLink|Roger Highberry}}, the wine connoisseur [[Dolor|Master Meztli]], and several other guests. | ||
Cora is one of the murder targets during the quest [[Investigate the Murders]]. "Master Meztli" is actually the Bhaalist aspirant {{CharLink|Dolor}}, who seeks to kill her and chop off her hand to gain the approval of the [[Murder Tribunal]] and become an Assassin of Bhaal. If the party entered the [[Murder Tribunal]] before, or read the [[Bloodstained Parchment]] and approached the proximity of Cora's home, Dolor will have killed Cora after one long rest (''see [[Time sensitive activities#Act_Three|time sensitive activities]]''). | Cora is one of the murder targets during the quest [[Investigate the Murders]].

Upon approaching Cora, she tells the party that she's about to taste some of "Master Meztli's" wine. A successful passive {{Ability check|Medicine|18}} ({{Ability check|Perception|10}} if Barbarian) reveals that the wine smells sickly sweet, with an acrid note on the periphery, indicating poison. | Upon approaching Cora, she tells the party that she's about to taste some of "Master Meztli's" wine. A successful passive {{Ability check|Medicine|18}} ({{Ability check|Perception|10}} if Barbarian) reveals that the wine smells sickly sweet, with an acrid note on the periphery, indicating poison. There are several dialogue options to either drink the wine causing Cora (and optionally the player character) to be poisoned, or the party can outright expose Metzli as a serial killer. | ||
If exposed, "Master Meztli" reveals himself to be the serial killer Dolor and is infuriated that his perfect crime was interrupted. He summons four [[Doppelganger]]s to keep the party busy and uses a (scripted variation of) {{SmRarityItem|Spaceshunt Boots}} at level 5 that teleports 100 meters (66~ feet) away. One of the corpses contains a {{SmRarityItem|Tombstone Shop Key}} necessary for later on in the quest. Successfully warning Cora Highberry earns the [[File:Inspiration Icon.png|20x20px|link=]][[Inspiration|Inspirational Event]] ''Wine Connoisseur'' ([[Noble]] background). | If exposed, "Master Meztli" reveals himself to be the serial killer Dolor and is infuriated that his perfect crime was interrupted.
