Auntie Ethel: Permanent +1 to a stat of your choosing
I've seen a few people mention killing her or throwing her into the pit to make life easier for you, or letting Maryna die, you shouldn't do either.

If you bring her down to low HP and let her have a turn, she will start a conversation with the character standing closest to her in which you can convince her to give you a one time use item that increases a stat of your choosing by +1 and if you're a good person get Maryna to survive too.

Might want to check again after a long rest.. pretty sure the +1 turns into a permanent -1

...and not killing her of course has some other consequence as well. =)

Or you could solve a problem for good. She is a Monster (and not talking about her being a Hag.

At the end of the day she does more harm then good (and I don't think she does any good).

There is no money, reward or any other enticement that would allow a boil to persist on my ass if I can abolish it.

Can anyone confirm? I've not heard anyone else say this but it would fit her character to still ♥♥♥♥ you over.

Pretty sure I took a long rest after, still have the +1 to my dex stat.
Although, I know that one of the potions in her lair, one room after the combat room with the hanging cage Mayrina was in, will give you a permanent -1 to str if you drink it.

Nope, my Warlock still has 20 Charisma, no strings attached to this one for a change.

She tells you she'll return regardless if you kill her or not and she does .

Not a problem for me. The only thing I love more than kicking someones ass once, is kicking it twice. Just ask any Shadow of "Mordor" or "War" orc.

I know. I still turned her down and slaughtered her like the monster she is. Oakfather bless.

I don't make deals with baby-eating hags. Not to mention the other people in her collection.

+1 stat is not worth it on anything other than an evil play-through and if I was running a smart evil character I'd still question making deals with hags.
I stood in the room full of people who took her deals and thought "why would anyone be gullible enough to take a deal from a hag as they ALWAYS screw you over". Then I notice this thread.

Look at all these hag-hating trolls here. Auntie Ethel is a saint who only wants to help others. She made a want to bring back poor Connor for Mayrina, and at such a low cost too. Giving up an unborn child that was probably going to be a brat and a drain on Connor and Mayrina's resouces. She was trying to reunite true love, and you all just had to interfere. #savethehag

This thread was a bit old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
