She sells them for less than 1k gold. She does not deserve them. And my druid really likes to shove stuff back into ground hazards, so...
Moaaar spoilers ahead:
You could also tell her that you just killed a devil and she could be next to keep them.
That's hilarious, considering she wants 10000 gold the first time you ask and you can haggle her down to 5000. I'll probably just give them back to her and then buy them so the quest completes - I don't have much need for money after bribing Dammon down and purchasing his full plate set.
I paid her for her services (after threatening her for a discount) because I really wanted those gloves. If she was just gonna sell em for 1000 I would've done it that way instead. Seems to be a pretty good discount.
You can pickpocket the ritual materials too and scam the scammer
I stole half of them by accident without realizing she was in any way connected to the House of Hope, hours earlier. But I never found any letter or anything saying how to use them.
They’re all sitting around upstairs, no pickpocket necessary, you just don’t know the order without her guide. In a second play through you can probably just skip her
I got these my first playthrough without even knowing there was a quest. My klepto ass just tried to pickpocket her, got caught and had to kill her, then read the ritual instructions and was like "Oh cool a portal to hell, let's do that."
