![[InessaPathfinder-v1.webp]] # Inessa _Medusa | [[Baba Yaga's Hut]]_ ## Summary A medusa who keeps a cellar of petrified victims inside [[Baba Yaga's Hut]] and claims to be [[Baba Yaga]]'s adopted daughter. She asked the heroes to bring her the [[Flower of Beauty]] from the [[Cursed Lakelands]], calling it the source of her curse, and promised consequences if they failed. Fabio agreed. The party recovered the Flower but never returned it to her. %% ## Now _Concluded._ Still in her cellar in the Hut, waiting on a Flower that never came. The party took it and left. ## Appearance Serpent-haired and beautiful above the neck, with a killing gaze. Her cellar is crowded with humanoid statues frozen in horror. ## Personality Composed and civil so long as she gets what she wants. She negotiates with an even hand and a clear threat underneath; refusal means petrification. She fixates on the Flower of Beauty as her one hope of ending the curse. ## Connections **[[Baba Yaga]]** — claims to be her adopted daughter. **[[Zalena]]** — fellow medusa; the Flower Inessa wants sits in Zalena's throne room. ## Key Info - Sends the party after the [[Flower of Beauty]] in the [[Cursed Lakelands]] — the hook into that whole region. %%
