Black Agnes Mudwallow

Black Agnes Mudwallow is the full name of a green hag living in the swamps below Lake Thane. It is unknown how long she has lived there, but the people of Grimport have many stories of a woman from the swamp making shady deals and playing cruel tricks on whoever she can. She disguises herself as a beautiful human when trying to make deals; she doesn't bother with such subterfuge when trying to end lives. The Party was pointed toward Agnes by Torquil, the half-elf pauper from Grimport whose estate the Party de-haunted. Torquil told them that Agnes probably had the key to the underground location his family was charged with protecting. Armed with this information, the Party set out into the swamps. After enduring many dangers, some of which almost certainly caused by Agnes, the Party reached the peninsula where she laired. After failing to negotiate agreeable terms for the key, Agnes instigated a battle and disappeared to plot a sneak attack. Hobart — taking advantage of the blindsight granted by the Cultists' Blade — severely injured Agnes, driving her to escape through a vortex in the swamp water. The Party recovered the key from her home, as well as a few other interesting trinkets and treasures. After emerging from the Ancient Morten Prison, the Party began their trek back to Grimport. Along the way, Agnes sprang another sneak attack, seeking revenge for the dishonor of losing her home and her treasures. The Party again fought her off, and she disappeared back into the swamps. She clearly has vengeance on her mind, and the Party has probably not found her for the last time. Whether she would venture out of her swamp remains to be seen.
