Ethel can be found in two places. She can first be encountered in [[The Hollow]] within the [[Druid Grove]] at {{Coords|192|544}}. She runs a small shop selling lotions and potions. Ethel notices that the party looks ill, and they can reveal that they were infected with a mindflayer tadpole. Ethel states that she can help, but that she doesn't have the supplies at the Grove. She invites the party to visit her at her house in the wetlands.

Ethel can also be encountered southwest of the [[Blighted Village]] at {{Coords|45|313}}, just after entering the Sunlit Wetlands . Here, Ethel is confronted by two men, Johl and Demir, who accuse her of kidnapping their sister, Mayrina. In the initial confrontation with Auntie Ethel and the brothers, the player can choose to side with Auntie Ethel, with the brothers, or refuse to get involved. If the player sides with the brothers, Ethel reveals her true nature and departs for her teahouse. If the player sides with Ethel, the brothers attack immediately. If the player does not fight with the brothers, they walk off to their deaths in the wetlands, where the party can later discover their bodies.  If the player refuses to get involved in the situation, Auntie Ethel tells them they were supposed to rush to her defense, kills the two men with a poison spell, then departs for her teahouse.  In both the case where the player sides with the brothers or refuses to get involved, Auntie Ethel warns them that if they come to her teahouse, they'd best come bearing an apology.  If the player sided with Auntie Ethel, she asks the player to come to her teahouse so she can thank the player properly.

Ethel's house is at {{Coords|-47|266}} in the southwestern area of the Sunlit Wetlands/Putrid Bog. She greets the party and, regardless of if she was told or not, states she's well aware of the tadpole in their heads. In the teahouse, Ethel is berating a young woman, revealed to be Mayrina, for not finishing her pie. If Ethel isn't yet hostile, the player has the opportunity to [[Get Help from Auntie Ethel]]. Regardless of the conversation choices, Ethel eventually transports Mayrina further into her lair, done with her complaints about being full.
