The Thin Ones

When you first arrive in Stillrise Village she is found lying on the floor of the storage hut where Gorag is being held captive. She is apparently dead, having been bested by the Worm Cult.

Acolyte Morag's skeleton form

After Chieftain Suhlak reveals the villagers' secret, a skeletal Morag can be found having fully recovered from her apparently fatal wounds, a benefit of the village's curse. You can speak to her before speaking to Shaman Chirah:

"The Worm Cultists tore up my hut looking for the Soul Gem Array.
Miserable toad-lickers."

Shaman Chirah later directs you to her during your quest to recover the Soul Gem Array from the Worm Cult. Morag is easily able to discern its location, having tied one of her toe bones to the array several years earlier.

You can speak to her after she reawakens when the illusion falls.

"Shaman Chirah told me to expect you, but …. Wait, something's off. Beyond your flesh and blood, I mean.
Z'en's blessings! The curse upon you is temporary. You can safely recover the soul gem array!"

Are you certain I won't be a skeleton forever?

"I'm positive. Shaman Chirah and I studied the curse for decades. This is Clavicus Vile's way of being playful, I suppose … though I don't presume to know the intentions of any Daedric Prince."

While I'm like this, am I invincible?

"No. Despite what War Chief Helushk would tell you, sheer force can pummel us into the ground. Without Shaman Chirah's magic, my bones would still be in the pile where the Worm Cult left me.
Lousy mushroom-nibblers."

What kind of magic?

"Healing magic works. We often use magical fonts recovered from the temple, like the one next to me.
The cultists took one last night, but Shaman Chirah has another. The rest are inside the temple. You're welcome to use them while you're still … underfed."

Do you know where the Worm Cult took the soul gem array?

"Lucky for us, I think ahead. Years ago I fastened one of my toe knuckles to the soul gem array. I can sense it's still in their nearby camp.
After you give those moss-gargling cultists a good pounding, bring it straight to Chieftain Suhlak."

I'll bring her the soul gem array when I recover it.

Speaking to her again:

"Did you smash a few of those dung-guzzling Worm Cultists yet? No? Oh, well."

After retrieving the Soul Gem Array:

"How many of those torchbug-gobblers did you flatten? I bet it was half a dozen.
Wait, you still have the soul gem array? Quick, get it to Chieftain Suhlak! If Clavicus Vile lifts his curse while you still hold it, you'll die for good!"

After the quest:

"I heard what happened with the chieftain. Don't blame yourself.
Wait, are you blaming yourself? You forget how to read faces when you haven't had a face in decades."

The Bargain's End

If you choose to side with War Chief Helushk to preserve the array. She will disappear, presumably to defend it even though you don't encounter her inside the Odious Chapel.

If you destroy the array, she will disappear indefinitely.

However if you choose to preserve the array, she will be angry with your choice but will decide she can make the best out of it:

"I got really angry when I realized you'd preserved the soul gem array. Eternity is a long time, and I wanted to make that decision myself.
But eternity means I have forever to make the world a better place. So I guess I should thank you."
