Through the door are four servants of Ethel's - [[Mask of Terror - Overgrown Tunnel]], [[Mask of Vengeance - Overgrown Tunnel]], [[Mask of Regret - Overgrown Tunnel]], and [[Mask of Servitude - Overgrown Tunnel]]. They become hostile upon detecting the party. They cannot be spared except by avoiding them entirely before defeating Ethel - non-lethal attacks result in them never becoming conscious again. | Through the door are four servants of Ethel's - [[Mask of Terror - Overgrown Tunnel]], [[Mask of Vengeance - Overgrown Tunnel]], [[Mask of Regret - Overgrown Tunnel]], and [[Mask of Servitude - Overgrown Tunnel]].

On the table next to the door are [[Whispering Mask|Whispering Masks]]. If | On the table next to the door are [[Whispering Mask|Whispering Masks]]. If a party member wears it, they'll be possessed by Ethel and attack the party unless they're under the effect of Protection From Evil and Good. If you successfully wear the mask without possession, though, the full party can pass through the door. The masks also prevent the hag servants from becoming hostile, but only towards the masked character(s); any others need to sneak past if you want to avoid confrontation. If using masks with Protection From Evil and Good, take care to avoid breaking concentration due to taking damage or casting another concentration spell. | ||
Past the Hag Servants is a waterfall and a winding path filled with noxious fumes and explosive traps. The vents can be covered with any item - including the Whispering Masks on the table. Another option is to simply jump over the fumes - [[Enhance Leap]] and [[Feather Fall]] are immensely helpful. Once the party has gotten to the bottom of the path, they'll see Mayrina in a cage, and Ethel. | Past the Hag Servants is a waterfall and a winding path filled with noxious fumes and explosive traps.

After making their way through the [[Overgrown Tunnel]], the party will find [[Mayrina]] in a burning wooden cage suspended over a pit. If the cage is destroyed by fire or other means, Mayrina will die. The spell [[Create Water]] or a thrown container of water can put out the fire, as well as a simple [[Ray of Frost]] cantrip or [[Arrow of Ice]]. Ethel will summon illusory copies of herself that have all of her regular spells and abilities, but are destroyed after taking any damage. | After making their way through the [[Overgrown Tunnel]], the party will find [[Mayrina]] in a burning wooden cage suspended over a pit.

Ethel may teleport Mayrina out of the cage, then assume her form, attempting to trick the party into killing Mayrina, as there are now two seemingly identical copies. The Mayrina in the previous position of Ethel CAN be the real Mayrina, so use caution. Generally, the most obvious way to determine if the target is Mayrina is by seeing if the character model is visibly pregnant - the real Mayrina has a belly; Ethel's clones do not. Examining the stat blocks also reveals the truth, as Mayrina remains Level 1, while the clone is Level 5 like Ethel herself. The spell also doesn't affect [[Initiative]], so Ethel and Mayrina will retain their positions in the turn queue. | Ethel may teleport Mayrina out of the cage, then assume her form, attempting to trick the party into killing Mayrina, as there are now two seemingly identical copies.
