Involvement

In Act One, when first entering the Sunlit Wetlands from the east, Johl and his brother Demir can be encountered asking Auntie Ethel where their sister Mayrina is, and accusing Ethel of having taken her.

The party can talk with the group to gain more information about the situation, learning that Mayrina disappeared and the last person to see her was Ethel. Throughout the encounter, Demir is pleading with her while she insists that she's blameless, but willing to help them look for her.

Eventually, the party is be forced to take sides in the conversation. If they decide to side with Auntie Ethel, Demir and Johl accuse the party of working with her and attack. If they do not side with Ethel, she chastises them and disappears in a burst of magic. The party can then talk to the two brothers and attempt to convince them not to follow her into the swamp.

While Demir listens and is willing to take the party's advice if they offer to look for Mayrina instead, Johl refuses and drags his brother into the Sunlit Wetlands with him.

The corpses of Demir and his brother can be found in the wetlands, presumably they have 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 has the option to 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.
