Help the Hag Survivors: Difference between revisions

Upon entering the [[Lower City]], many posters will be put up around the city on various noticeboards and walls. One such noticeboard is near Luan, the paperboy (X:125, Y:-70). Interacting with the Anti-Hag Support Group posters will begin the quest and lead to a possible meetup place at Barren's Coop (X:45, Y:-114). The door to Barren's Coop can be lockpicked open, and passing a Perception check will reveal an eviction notice. To find the new location of the hag survivors, the table must be searched, revealing a barely legible letter.

The letter left at Barren's Coop will reveal that the group has relocated to Old Barlow's Place (X:-49, Y:-127). As with the past location, the door will need to be lockpicked open. After entering the building, the party will encounter the hag survivors, who are instantly suspicious and assume they are dealing with hagspawn.

Choosing the following options and successfully passing the checks will have the group stand down:

The group will then explain that they are being pursued by a hag. Their leader, [[Mayrina]] has been hexed, and they need assistance. Mayrina is upstairs, and has been transformed into a sheep. She can be talked to using [[Speak with Animals]] and reveal that a doll is what's causing her transformation, or her diary can be read, which also references a doll.

The doll in question is the Voodoo Doll (X:-41, Y:-141) which is in the corner of the upstairs room. The doll can simply be attacked, or destroyed using [[Remove Curse]]. Afterwards, Mayrina will transform into a human and begin shouting that the Dragonborn did it. The ruse having ended, [[Jatlo]] will reveal himself as a servant of the hag. He will attack the party and summon minions to help him.

If Jatlo is pickpocketed, he will have a note on him using terms like "Auntie" and "hex doll." After confronting Jatlo, he will transform into a [[redcap]] and attack the party. Defeating Jatlo will end the curse, turning Mayrina back into a human.

If the Persuasion or Deception checks fail, or if the party simply decides to fight, then the hag survivor group will attack, certain that they are facing off against hagspawn. However, after Jatlo is attacked, he will transform into a redcap and the other survivors will realize they were mistaken. The survivors will aid the party in taking down Jatlo and, with his defeat, Mayrina will transform into a human.

Mayrina will tell the party that a hag is in the city and it's out to get her. She will ask for help in defeating the foul creature, and state that information on how to defeat a hag is in the safe behind her (X:-61, Y:-148). The safe will contain a Tearstained Diary, [[Ashes of Dried Fey Flower]], and A Hunter's Guide to Hags which includes a recipe for Hag's Bane and how to use it. Agreeing to help Mayrina will also set the party on the quest [[Avenge the Hag Survivors]].

* If the player has already killed [[Auntie Ethel]], for instance while completing [[Save Vanra]], heading to the Hag Survivors will play out differently. Mayrina won't be hexed, and [[Jatlo]] will have turned back into a redcap and killed himself in front of the other survivors. No Ability Checks will be necessary and the quest will complete after the survivors are informed of Ethel's death. [[Avenge the Hag Survivors]] will be skipped and the player will immediately receive the [[Fey Semblance Amulet]], but they will not receive the [[Staff of Interruption]].
