What remains of previous victims of the hag, Auntie Ethel, are scattered about the area. The wood elf [[Lorin]] shouts to stay back and not to look. A [[Efrin|Petrified Dwarf]] stands next to a [[Blinded Elf]]. Another [[Magron|Victim]] holds her own head in her hands. The skull of Calim is mounted on a pedestal, facing a mirror. If a character breaks the mirror, that character is afflicted with [[Bane (Condition)|Bane]]. | ||

Access to the rest of the dungeon is blocked off by a '''Gnarled Door'''. The door is one of the hag's previous victims, transformed, and it begs the party not to pass. The party can speak with it and succeed at persuading or intimidating it to allow them them through. This door will reveal that it is an illusion. Alternatively, wearing one of the nearby [[Whispering Mask]]s will reveal the true nature of the door. However, these masks come with [[Whispering Mask|consequences]]. | Access to the rest of the dungeon is blocked off by a '''Gnarled Door'''.

The next room is unmarked on the map, labelled only as the '''Overgrown Tunnel'''. This section of the dungeon, past the Gnarled Door, contains four more previous victims of the hag. They are controlled by the [[Whispering Mask]]s they wear and will immediately attack the party on sight. This can be avoided if the party members also wear Whispering Masks. It is necessary to cast {{SAI|Protection from Evil and Good}} on the party members before equipping the masks to prevent the negative effects of the masks. | The next room is unmarked on the map, labelled only as the '''Overgrown Tunnel'''.
