To me, though, the cell Lizzy's in being arbitrary makes sense. It feels as if you have more of a chance to affect the witches' attack. I'll do a few tests this evening.

Or yeah, it could be pre-conditioned at the start of the mission, like the bone charms you get, for example.

The time you DID deal with the scout, did you deal with the rest of the witches, too? Did you converse with the trap-witch in the sewers and knock her unconscious?
