A touching reunion
The Macabre Counsellor is as close to overjoyed as you have ever seen her, which is to say her mouth twitches, sadly. The Presumptuous Heiress' response is much more passionate. She drops the hood with dramatic flair: "You let a bloody monster steal my face!"
"It's just a bit of skin, dear," the Macabre Counsellor says soothingly. "Perhaps it will grow back. If not, you should be used to masks by now." Before the Presumptuous Heiress can continue her tirade the Macabre Counsellor draws you aside. "Most satisfactory. You will have everything I promised and more. Now – if you'll excuse me – my daughter and I have important matters to discuss."

| Deliver the Luckless Sister
She's not the daughter the Counsellor asked for, but one daughter is surely better than none.

A touching reunion
Since your passenger wears the Doctress' face, the Macabre Counsellor doesn't actually realise that you have brought her the Luckless Sister rather than the Presumptuous Heiress until the former opens her mouth. "Hello mother. I'm afraid my sister's safe from your absurd machinations. Better the Empress' prison than your manipulative clutches."
In your mind's eye, you see your reward evaporate into dust and ash; then the Macabre Counsellor laughs. "Ah, my dear. You are much more spirited than I remember. Perhaps you are worthy to be my heir after all." "I'd rather die!" The Macabre Counsellor laughs even harder. "Excellent! That's rather a requirement." She draws you aside. "Most satisfactory. You will have everything I promised and more. Now – if you'll excuse me – my daughter and I have important matters to discuss."

The Counsellor waves a clawlike hand and turns her attention to an elaborate embroidery of skulls.
