Spontaneous reappearance of the hag.

I descend further into the cellar. After the area with the fumes comes a cut-scene where I should get to free the girl.
The hag is in the cut-scene well and healthy. The hag starts combat.

But this time it shows the hag as:
"Auntie Ethel
Sister of the seeing Pearl
112/112
Level 5"

I think the game handles the Auntie Ethel you talk to and the one you are supposed to fight as two different characters. Which would explain why I can fight and kill her twice.
