Tactics

Fight in the Teahouse

Ethel can be attacked in her human form in the Riverside Teahouse, though she will try to make this encounter as brief as possible. Alert gives her a high chance of going first and prevents preemptive strikes, and she will flee through her fireplace using Break Illusion in the first two turns; if out of range, she will defend herself with Protection from Evil and Good and Vicious Mockery. Attempting to destroy her here, then, requires bringing her hit points to zero often before she can take a single action – all while hostile Redcaps are coming through her front door.

She may further attempt to evade aggression by drinking a Potion of Invisibility; this can be avoided by purchasing it from her in conversation.

Fight in her lair

always starts with the fire throw

masks summoned to assist her if not incapacitated. if they are, she'll do auntie's trickery instead

magic missile

detect invisibilty

throwing water/applying other conditions to distinguish from mayrina vs. examine to notice stat differences. or % to hit.

won't use any actions on the turn she begs for mercy, if you decide to finish her off

Act Three

new character box needed for act 3 stats?
