Save Vanra: Difference between revisions

After speaking to Lora, the party is directed to investigate the Blushing Mermaid and speak to [[Captain Grizzly]], who was present during Vanra's abduction. If Lora has not been spoken to, then Grizzly will not speak to the party and says she is too hungover to talk. Speaking to Grizzly about Vanra's disappearance, she claims that Lora has gone mad and is dangerous, threatening her customers. She states that Vanra isn't real, and is a delusion that Lora cooked up. Believing Lora to be a threat, she intends to put a hit out on her, and offers 3000 gold to the party if they are willing to take her out. If, after being given Grizzly's offer, the party chooses "Absolutely not - I refuse to do your dirty work." then "Grizzly" drops the act and reveals herself to be [[Auntie Ethel]], a hag.

Grizzly's true identity can also be exposed by finding a note in the Blushing Mermaid which contains a report on Old Garlow's, using terms like "Auntie." The note is inside a rosewood desk in the same room as Grizzly (X:-123, Y:-93). Afterwards, the party can confront Grizzly on the note they found and she instantly drops the act.

The Hag's basement can be found by entering either the old oak door near the entrance to the Blushing Mermaid or the cellar door down the stairs in the same room Grizzly was wandering. Jumping up on top of the alcohol barrels and moving towards the small passage starts an Investigation check. Succeeding reveals that the wall is an illusion that the party can simply walk through, climb down a ladder, and through a set of double doors that can be unlocked with Auntie Ethel's Lair Key or by lockpicking the door.

=== Saving Grizzly ===

[[File:Grizzly Alive.jpg|thumb|Grizzly will recount her experience with Ethel if she is saved.]]

The same as her last hag den, Ethel has a number of enthralled humans trapped with their masks. Most of these individuals are too far gone to properly save, and will simply mutter about their curses if Ethel is slain. However, there is one person who is able to be properly saved from the hag - the real Captain Grizzly. Grizzly, like the other servants, is forced to attack the party if they fight with Ethel. However, if Grizzly is left alive, then she is freed from Ethel's influence and removes her mask. Speaking to her, she is immensely grateful to the party for liberating her, and states that the 'Maid's as much as the party's home as hers.

As of 4.1.1.3686210, even if you non lethally knock out Grizzly in the first room then engage Ethel separately the game will bug. She will not revive and the bartender will still think she is dead.
