Involvement

Act Three

Grimlark is in the Chosen's Room within the Bhaal Temple. If the party enter the room before defeating  Orin, he tells them to quickly make their way to her.

If the  Dark Urge defeats Orin in combat, he congratulate them afterwards. If Orin is defeated by a non-Dark Urge character, he immediately dies.

If the Dark Urge embraces Bhaal, and  Jaheira and  Minsc were recruited and did not leave the party up to this moment, they both confront the player character on their way back from the temple. In this case, Grimlark joins the fight as the party's ally.

Grimlark is the author of  Murder, Be My Muse, the Grimlark Verses, and the stanza engraved on the skulls in the basement of the Candulhallow's Tombstones shop.
