Xau tak's questline could really improve this quest...
Yup! Just remove the last quest, put the dungeoneering reward in the dungeoneering reward shop (easiest solution, I don't even know if it is worth bothering with the experience rewards) and leave the town in a state of sea slugs controlling nearly everyone.
Then add a few hints here and there linking Mother Mallum to Xau-tak: which should be extremely easy considering how Mother Mallum rose from the ocean, which is often linked to Xau-Tak. Just add some lore books here and there (some hidden in Witchaven, others put in locations clearly linked to Xau-Tak). Something about Mother Mallum being one of Xau-Tak's minions, capable of acting on its own to further Xau-Tak's goals (even in the absence of Xau-Tak).
And then just leave it at that. Have the constant feeling of dread when you enter the town of Witchaven, as if you could get caught by a sea slug at any time. The idea of impending doom, yet without a clear way on how to stop it (I mean you would like this Mod Raven right?
).
This even leaves room for the potential introduction of future content of defeating creatures under the control of Mother Mallum (whenever developers feel like making such content). As long as Mother Mallum is never revealed. As that is how you keep a lingering sense of dread, the exact thing that is to be expected of Lovecraftian Lore.
Sometimes less is more and this is exactly such a case. The fix is actually easy and has a huge impact, while providing developers with an interesting environment to work in (this would pretty much be a playground for Mod Raven's dark storytelling
).
