The next room is unmarked on the map, labelled only as the '''Overgrown Tunnel'''. This section of the dungeon, past the Gnarled Door, contains four more previous victims of the hag. They are controlled by the [[Whispering Mask]]s they wear. If the party is not also wearing the masks, they will be attacked. This room is covered with Mud (difficult terrain).

They are controlled by the [[Whispering Mask]]s they wear. If the party is not also wearing the masks, they will be attacked. It is necessary to cast {{SAI|Protection from Evil and Good}} on the party members before equipping the masks to prevent the negative effects of the masks. This room is covered with Mud (difficult terrain).

* Ruptured Stone - These traps emit {{cond|Noxious Fumes}}. The stones resemble piles of rocks, and can be covered by objects to block the fumes. It is possible to right click worthless items in the inventory, like bones or mugs, then throw them on the vents to disable them and pass through. They can also be disabled with a {{Ability check|Sleight of Hand|30}} check.

** These can be covered by objects to block the fumes. It is possible to put or throw several items, like barrels, chests, bones or mugs, or indeed the whispering masks from the prior room onto the vents to disable them and pass through.
** If the party is ''wearing'' the Whispering Masks, the traps will not emit fumes.
** If [[Auntie Ethel]] is later defeated, the '''Ruptured Stones''' will stop emitting fumes.

* '''Peculiar Flowers''' - These traps are which are hidden until spotted with a [[Perception]] check. They will explode if a party member draws too close. They litter the walkways leading down to the Ancient Abode.

{{SAI|Misty Step}} and {{SAI|Feather Fall}} are useful for avoiding the traps safely. 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.
