[[Speak with Dead]] can reveal some of their pasts, as can interacting with the items nearby to hear Auntie Ethel speak about how her victims got into these predicaments. | [[Speak with Dead]] can reveal some of their pasts, as can interacting with the items nearby to hear Auntie Ethel speak about how her victims got into these predicaments. | ||
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 player not to pass. The player 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 consequences. | Access to the rest of the dungeon is blocked off by a '''Gnarled Door'''.

Alternatively, the poison gas clouds dissipate (and the other traps are visible and easy to avoid) when players are wearing [[Whispering Mask]]<nowiki/>s -- if Auntie Ethel is still active, using this method safely requires the use of {{SAI|Protection from Evil and Good}}. | ||
Yet another method for bypassing the traps is to place the whispering masks from the prior room over the vents, which will actually block the flow of gas. If nobody succeeds on the perception check to spot a particular vent, spamming ''dancing lights'' can be a good way to locate it, as this strangely will ''also'' block the vent. | |||

There is a second '''Gnarled Door''' that can be reached from the trapped descent. A [[Whispering Mask]] is required to gain access to the room beyond. Inside is a [[Mushroom Circle]] that will teleport the party to a similar circle in the [[Underdark]], {{Coords|98|-283}}. | There is a second '''Gnarled Door''' that can be reached from the trapped descent.
