Taking on a somber tone, he explains that he's having trouble with a stalker, an insane kobold named **Dorothea** who was a former assistant. For whatever reason they've developed a murderous grudge and regrettably must be "dealt with".
He also mentions that the maniac has stolen a precious family heirloom, a red jewel, and will pay double for it's return. He emphasizes that this job is *urgent* and will pay *very* well.
-After the party accepts the task, Bartholomew casts a spell to improve their odds: He snaps his fingers, and each party member gets 20 temporary HP! However, he fails to mention that the spell also curses the party to hallucinate that Dorothea is pure evil. A DC 20 Arcana check can vaguely reveal this, but otherwise the party is clueless.

### They Fight
Dorothea's intention during this fight is to remove the parties temporary health. When a player has their temporary health removed, the spell breaks and Dorothea can talk to them normally. They'll quickly try to recruit the player, asking for help to remove the spell from the others. If a player fights alongside Dorothea, that player's dialogue becomes similar crazed nonsense to those still afflicted, appearing to betray their party.

+If Dorothea dies at any point, they'll give the party the jewel. Their dying wish is that they kill Bartholomew. Ideally, this doesn't happen though!
### Dispelled
With the spell gone, Dorothea explains their side of things. Bartholomew runs horrid experiments on species he considers "vermin," with the goal of creating an army of monstrosities to rule the city. They, and the orphans were his "lab rats" until they managed to escape. Dorothea has spent the last couple years searching for a means to defeat him, and found a jewel that can remove his immortality. They ask the party to join them for the final battle. If financial incentive is required, they're offered first dibs on any loot in the tower.
