Entrance Gallery
The Entrance Gallery is the first of the three main sections of the dungeon. What remains of previous victims of the hag, Auntie Ethel, are scattered about the area. The wood elf Lorin shouts to stay back and not to look. A Petrified Dwarf stands next to a Blinded Elf. Another Victim holds her own head in her hands.
Speak with Dead can reveal some of their pasts, as can interacting with the items nearby to hear Auntie Ethel speak about how her victims got into these predicaments.
Access to the rest of the dungeon is blocked off by a Gnarled Door. The door is one of the hag's previous victims, transformed, and it begs the player not to pass. The player can speak with it and succeed at persuading or intimidating it to allow them them through. This door will reveal that it is an illusion. Alternatively, wearing one of the nearby Whispering Masks will reveal the true nature of the door. However, these masks come with consequences.
