Mask of Terror is a human member of Auntie Ethel's flock. He can be found in the The Blushing Mermaid alongside  Mask of Vengeance,  Mask of Servitude, and the real  Captain Grisly.

Auntie? AUNTIE!

— Mask of Terror

Involvement[edit section | visual editor]

Act Three[edit section | visual editor]

Like the other Masks, the Mask of Terror wanders around the basement area. If the party did not discover Ethel was impersonating Grisly, or antagonised Ethel upstairs, then they all are hostile. However, if the party agreed to Ethel's deal as part of ⁠Gather Your Allies then they are not hostile and can even be spoken to. Mask of Terror recounts making a deal with Auntie to get back at people who laughed at him.

If the party confront Auntie Ethel in the basement's next-door room, then she and other the other members of the flock are teleported into the battle as long as they were not previously killed or knocked out. They are hostile by virtue of the  Whispering Mask, placing them under the  Charming effect of  Part of the Flock.

If the party encounters Mask of Terror after Ethel is dead, he is no longer hostile but his sanity is broken.
