The young blonde priestess´ eyes briefly meets those of the good hearted drow, giving him a weak but grateful smile. Crisaryn could quite possibly be affected by the hag's curse, but there could also be some past experiences that has affected her. She was of course right though, the the young boy's parents needed confronting at some point, Lorelei just didn't want to make judgements before the investigation was finished.
Do not worry, the Burgomeister will make sure that Lucian is taken care of. He'll also have a word with the family in the morning, so that he can formally take Lucian as an apprentice. I'd rather enjoy being a fly on the wall for that one. One can only hope that they have eaten too much pie, a self inflicted injury. Do we know what was in them? Some sort of hallucinogenic mushroom? Anyone know what meat? She winced at her own words and the implication that they were human meat.
I'm sorry that my arrival stopped you from getting his parents to open up.
So now, do you want me to break the hags link to you? It would only take a moment. You can sit or lie down, you'll only feel a slight headache then clarity. And if there is no curse then you'll feel nothing.
She gets Crisaryn to sit down, and steps behind her. She spreads her fingers over Crisaryns head then starts chanting.
Her fingers glow blue and the light moves to cover all of Crisaryns body. The glow makes her wince as though she had stepped into bright sunshine. The niggling headache got worse for a moment then turned into a sharp pain, then nothing. Crisaryn was surprised about the clarity. Now she could talk about Lucians parents without that all consuming anger, it was righteous anger instead. She felt subtly more like herself. Curse or not she felt better.
"The hag said it contained meat and mushrooms. Mushrooms grow in the Underdark that can affect the mind, they were sometimes used in ceremonies to Lloth. As for the meat, I should think it most unpleasant to even consider. What we do know is that the children here are not safe with a coven of hags operating so near. Does anyone know more that could help us to prepare before we move against them?"

Get Ireena and Ismark to safety in Vallaki before you tackle the hags. Rhianne said she was called back to Vallaki with the conspiracy, she may have some tips for you, she'll certainly help Ireena to stay away from Strahds gaze.
I have only ever tackled a lone Night Hag before, they can share their spells within the coven. As usual with fey cutting their heads off is the best way to kill them, the spell silence is also good, it stops them from escaping into the ethereal plane whilst giving you a chance to attack. The best time of day to attack them is in the daytime when half their spells don't work. They are vulnerable to Iron and therefore steel hurts them.
I'm not sure what more I can add. Perhaps ask me a direct question, I may know the answer.
"I was most concerned with their ability to plane walk. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I know the silence spell. I rather enjoy the irony of using sound to create silence," he replies to Betta. He pauses for a moment, a far away look in his eyes as the makings of a new song settle into his consciousness. He shakes his head softly, pulling focus back to the present.
Speaking to the party he continues. "I should like to prepare a few scrolls prior to confronting the hags. I believe that this will be a difficult battle, and preparation may be the factor that turns the tide in our favor."

I have some scrolls that would be of use to you, I'd been casting some in between my travels. They sell well to adventurers like yourselves. Here take this supply, she holds out one of her saddlebags to Lorelei. In case of need. Each scroll was in a protective case, Resurrection, Mass healing, Silence, invisibility and Hallow. If I have time tonight I'll add a scroll for Protection against Evil and Good in case you have a problem with the hags again.
Crisaryn lets out just a small sound as the sharp pain hits her. When it vanishes, she looks at Betta with surprise. "There was a curse." She feels silly to have not been aware of it. "You say it would have got worse at night? I must give you my deepest thanks." She stands rejoining the others. "I still think it might have been for the best had I just burned down that house with the idiots in their delusions from the pies. But perhaps we can just let the Burgomeister take care of dealing with them."
"You are very generous," he says with a graceful bow. "We are in your debt. These tools of light will help to drive back the darkness of this land."
"Perhaps we will find healing potions to purchase," he says to the party. "The Vistani seem quite knowledgeable about such things and eager to engage in trade, although more eager to engage in merriment from my experience!" he adds with a good natured laugh.
