The Hag of M'Bala

Metaphysical / Paranormal event

Eku appears completely under some curse originating on the plateau of M'Bala. The group have no choice but to let her leave, heading back to Port Nyanzaru, presumably to find another party to bring here.   They find an old woman, alone, in a hut on the outskirts of the ruined city. She is revealed to be a Hag, Nanny Pu'Pu, a woman of great evil. A confrontation ends with the death of Noland, and Tarlok having to accept a ritualistic procedure from Nanny, whilst the others are trapped in a shadowrealm, facing torturous trials. Nanny takes Tarlok's eye. and let's him into her realm to aid his allies. They finally escape, and flee her.   Upon their return to the site the next day, with their new companion Sindri, Hina receives a vision from a now restored Eku. They had somehow broken the Hag's curse, Eku returned, and killed Nanny, though she warned that would not be a true end for her.
