+# Mags — The Other Half
+
+**Look:** Wiry woman in her late forties; cropped grey hair, temple-to-jaw scar, stained apron over armor, cook's hands layered over killer's hands.
+**Vibe:** Grief forced through professional discipline; she reads every person as a potential weapon or threat.
+
+- Locks the tavern until midnight and coerces the neutral PCs into investigating
+- Respects competence; shares deeper cellar/fiend tools only after evidence and a concrete plan
+- Knows the thin point and old circle, not the Guest's Xarrul bargain or the true lockdown mechanism
+- Warden's Mark over heart lets Xarrul compromise her in the finale

+- **Emergency reserve.** One Oil of Etherealness dose under apron; applying takes 10 minutes.
+
+**Reaction**
+
+- **Parry.** +3 AC against one melee attack that would hit.
+
+**Compromised Finale**
+
+- 39 HP, disadvantage on attacks; start each turn DC 15 WIS or lose action.
+- *Remove Curse*, *Greater Restoration*, or Xarrul's death clears the scar and restores full power.
