Mask of Servitude (The Blushing Mermaid)

Mask of Servitude is a Dwarven member of Auntie Ethel's flock. She is encountered in the The Blushing Mermaid - Basement alongside Mask of Vengeance (The Blushing Mermaid), Mask of Terror (The Blushing Mermaid), and the real Captain Grisly.

Involvement

Like the other Masks, the Mask of Servitude wanders around the basement area. If the party either did not discover that Ethel was impersonating Grisly, or antagonized Ethel upstairs, then they will all be hostile. However, if the party agreed to Ethel's deal as part of Gather Your Allies then they will not be hostile and can even be spoken to. Mask of Servitude claims that she used to be ugly until "Auntie made her beautiful".

If the party confronts Auntie Ethel in the basement's next-door room, then she and other the other members of the flock will be teleported into the battle as long as they weren't previously killed or knocked out. They will be hostile by virtue of the Whispering Mask, placing them under the charming effect of  Part of the Flock.

If the party manages to encounter Mask of Servitude after Ethel is dead, she will no longer be hostile, but her sanity will no longer be intact.
