"Keeley, is your touch still cursed? I know you want to come along, but I'm afraid doing so would be more dangerous not only for you, but all of us."
Ignatius says to Fiora:
"Her curse is a strange power in fact, And a power can be controlled, one knows. So with a little skill and tact, Can be turned into a weapon against our foes."
When Harvey hears Ignatius, he grows pensive once more. “It could be...” he mutters, as though he just remembered something. He turns his attention to Fiora and says “It would take a week or more for a covey of hags to make a new one. A single hag would take much longer. We have time.”
And so, the party rests. Harvey’s arm does indeed grow back within just over a minute. As soon as he finishes regrowing his arm, he goes outside, and Keeley goes with him.
Keeley nods and says “Thank you, that’s very nice.” She turns back to Harvey, who is picking up his griffon figurine, and asks “Are you from around here? You seem to know a lot about this place.”
Harvey looks back up at her and shrugs. “I was raised here,” he says. “Me and Butter were carried here from our village by a tornado. That was fun!”
Keeley stares at him in shock for a moment, then asks “You were taken from your family too?”
Harvey nods with a smile and says “Yep. I took it as a sign. Nature’s way of getting me to leave home and go on an adventure. So I did!”
Guston prepared his magic and tries not to be all-consumed by his self-disgust. His popping boils prevent that from happening. It reminds him of the hag.
Keeley stands up on her own. “It’s fine,” she says as she moves back over to where Harvey is. Harvey shrugs and says “It’s getting late. Butter and I will keep watch, so you won’t have to.” He smiles at Fiora, then at Keeley.
So, the party rests for the night. The next morning, Harvey wakes everyone up and says “Alright, it’s time to go on a hag hunt. I had the birds scout for us, and they reported seeing her escape to the northern edge of the forest. There’s another cave there, and that is where she stays.”
As the party prepares to leave, Keeley walks out of the cabin and says “I’m going with you. I’m not staying here alone for the hag or her minions to come and take me while you are away. I’m sure I can help you in some way. Please, just let me come with you. I promise not to be a burden.”
“I suppose you can come,” says Guston. “Just try to be careful. We wouldn’t want you to inadvertently killing one of us. We’re not all gifted with the powers of miraculous regeneration.”
And so the party leaves and goes north. After two days of traveling, Harvey brings them to the edge of a clearing, where another, larger cave is nestled. Two ogres guard the entrance. “Should be easy enough to sneak by,” he says.

The boots are Boots of Elvenkind, which grant +5 to Stealth checks.

The hat is a Hat of Disguise, which the wearer can use to cast the spell Disguise Self. The hat can also be disguised as something else.
The wand is... certainly magical, but Ignatius can’t tell what magic it possesses.
"Keeley, don't move! Harvey, get down!"
Anyone who sees the effect can tell that the wand is a Wand of Levitation.
*FIora starts doing flips and tumbles in the air*
"Are you okay? I'm sorry I tripped you, anything could have come out of that wand and I didn't want to see you hurt more."
*Fiora holds out a gloved hand to help her up*
To high from low!"
Ignatius uses Wand of Levitation on Harvey.
One day... They will pray to me...
...
And ask for forgiveness...
Let's bag a hag.
"If you ever feel the need, stand behind me. I'll protect you."
