The Entrance Gallery is the first of the three main sections of the dungeon. What remains of previous victims of the hag, [[Auntie Ethel]], are scattered about the area. Some yet still live. {{SmallIcon|Speak with Dead Icon.png}} [[Speak with Dead]] can reveal some of their pasts.
The Entrance Gallery is the first of the three main sections of the dungeon. 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 [[Ethrin|Petrified Dwarf]] stands next to a [[Blinded Elf]]. Another [[Magron|Victim]] holds her own head in her hands.  


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. 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.
[[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.
