The old gnome hag known as the Witch of Wastrel Alley could be found in the dark and dismal backstreets of the town of Ireshook. She was bent and crooked, dressed all in rags, and she had a nose like an arrow and a single steely eye.

Kendra Kandlestar, Honest Oki, and Juniper Jinx crossed the witch's path while finding their way through Ireshook. The witch had a particular magic that allowed her to transform into that which her victims were most afraid of. However, when the witch tried to enact this spell upon Oki, it had most unfortunate results—for herself.
