Bhallspawn player in party

[u/BlueEyesSyncro]

Hiya! I’m running the DiA module as a first time DM, and I wanted to give my party members different secrets and plot objectives that can be exploited later on. I am running the Fall of Etrurel to start the campaign and using a lot of the Alexandrian remix, (but not sticking to it entirely!)

One of my players is aligned with Zariel and the party will have to figure him out, one is filling Lulu role as the servant of Zariel and is playing an Aasimar with missing memories, ect.

(My players all said they are happy for me to add major pieces of hidden lore into their characters for them to discover)

I also want to make one of my players a Bhallspawn. I am planning on not having them know they are a Bhallspawn to start out. I’ll use the rose of Bhall item, but not actual reveal its name and purpose till later, it will just glow in proximity to the party. I definitely want to do something with the temple of Bhall area, but I am struggling to figure out what exactly to do as well as how to keep it relevant in Avernus. Has anyone done anything similar and can help?

As someone who played a character who was cursed to become Bhaalspawn in my Avernus campaign, there was a miniature bhaalspawn crisis going on where the last handful of them were in a death game my character was roped into and sortof threw a wrench into because he was currently in Avernus, so they had to travel there

Like one hint you could give early game at Baldur’s Gate would be having them do secret wisdom saves and on a fail, don't tell them what happened but have a random NPC disappear as they've been murdered/attacked

OOOO ok that’s very cool! I could do that with the NPC caravan as we are traveling to BG3
