Speak with Dead
Speak with Dead is a level 3 necromancy spell. This spell allows spellcasters to grant a semblance of life to a corpse, allowing it to answer questions.
Description
Casting this spell also grants the ability Recast Speak with Dead, which allows the spellcaster to recast the spell without expending a spell slot, until the next Long Rest.
There's a high chance that the corpse will be unwilling to speak with the caster if they dealt the killing blow. This is not always the case, but can be circumvented by using the
Disguise Self
Disguise Self spell before casting it.
Speak with Dead.
If cast by a Cleric, the spell should remain Prepared. If the spell is removed from the Cleric's Prepared Spells list, they will lose the ability to use Recast Speak with Dead until preparing and casting Speak with Dead once more, and applicable corpses will no longer have a green glow to indicate they can be spoken to. If cast with a scroll or item, the caster does not need to keep this spell Prepared, and will be able to use Recast Speak with Dead until their next Long Rest.
The incantation for Speak With Dead is Cum Mortuus in Lingua Mortua, Latin for "With dead in a Dead Language".
Keeping a collection of corpses in your Traveler's Chest at camp can be a useful way to activate "Recast Speak with Dead" after each long rest, to get the green glow on "speak-able" corpses. Though this can only be done once per corpse.
Doesn't work on Undead.
Helena
Helena Anchev, also known as Orin's Mother Helena, is the mother of Orin the Red and daughter of Sarevok Anchev. She was killed long ago by Orin when she was a child. Her corpse was put on display in Orin's room.
Orin's Mother Helena is found in The Chosen's Room X: 96 Y: 991 in the Bhaal Temple.
Using Speak with Dead, the party can learn why she tried to kill Orin and who ordered her to do it. With this information you can prevent Orin from killing whoever she kidnapped without needing to pass any ability checks.
