The player 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.

When the party arrives at this location, Auntie Ethel can be found forcing [[Mayrina]] to eat. If the party takes Ethel up on her offer for help, she will attempt to remove the [[Tadpole]] before stopping and declaring the Tadpole modified by ancient Netherese magic. The price for her help is to give up an eye to her, which she refuses to reverse despite failing to cure the party.

Allowing Auntie Ethel to take the eye of the player character changes the appearance of one chosen eye of them and gives them {{Cond|Paid the Price}}. It's not possible to take this deal if [[Volo]] has already replaced one of the eyes or if [[Wyll]] is chosen as [[origin]].

If the party takes her up on her offer, initiates combat, or attempts to infiltrate down into her lair, the [[Overgrown Tunnel]], Auntie Ethel will reveal her true form: that of a Hag.

Even if killed in Act One, Auntie Ethel will reappear in her Hag form during the [[Help the Hag Survivors]], [[Avenge the Hag Survivors]], and [[Save Vanra]] questlines. She can be found posing as Captain [[Grisly]] in [[The Blushing Mermaid]] in [[Lower City]]. Her lair is located under this tavern and can be infiltrated through the basement.

It is revealed that she is functionally unkillable while her life force is invested in her magic mushrooms, which is how she survived being killed during Act One.  If killed previously, she's more hostile with the party, preventing the party from demanding a counter-offer to leave her alone.  This does not prevent her from being acquired as an Ally for [[Gather Your Allies]] if Lora is killed and Auntie Ethel is left alone, however.

It is recommended to begin the Save Vanra quest by speaking with [[Lora]] prior to completing the Hag Survivors questlines and defeating the Hag. Failure to get this quest from Lora directly, even if Vanra is saved, will lock the party out of its quest rewards.
