Involvement

Act One

Johl and his brother Demir can be encountered at the east entrance to the Sunlit Wetlands, asking Auntie Ethel where she took their sister Mayrina. Upon interacting, the party learn that Mayrina disappeared and the last person to see her was Ethel. Throughout the encounter, Johl demands to know where Mayrina is and warns the party not to trust anything Ethel says. Ethel insists that she has never met their sister but is willing to help look for her.

If the party defend Ethel, Johl and Demir accuse the party of working with her and attack. If the party do not defend Ethel, she chastises them and disappears in a burst of magic. The party can attempt to convince the two brothers not to pursue her into the swamp. While Demir is willing to take the party's advice if they offer to look for Mayrina instead, Johl refuses and drags his brother into the wetlands with him.

The corpses of Johl and his brother can be found in the wetlands, presumably having been killed by Redcaps.

By toggling on  Toggle Non-Lethal Attacks during the fight, the brothers can be spared. Their corpses do not appear in the swamp and the party can tell Mayrina that her brothers are merely knocked unconscious. However, she still cries out that they are dead.

Notes

• If having a character who is very Stealthy, or someone who can cast  Misty Step,  Dimension Door or otherwise get past Auntie Ethel and the brothers without notice, it is possible to reach the Ancient Sigil Circle to bring the rest of the party down. Then it is possible to disarm all of the traps. Afterwards the party must kill the 3 Redcaps and the 1 Redcap Blood Sage. After this is done, if returning to Johl and Demir and siding with them, then Auntie Ethel will disappear. The brothers will say they are going to try and rescue Mayrina and then they will disappear as well. At this point, the brothers are as saved as you can make them - they disappear into the swamp.
