| === The 'sheep' ===
| |
| Following the road east for the teahouse will pass by two islands where a bunch of sheep or in the case of the illusion broken, a bunch of redcaps pretending to be so. They won't be hostile at first, but if provoking them or angering Ethel, they will become hostile.
| |
| | |
| === Bloody campsite ===
| |
| On the north-eastern side of the wetlands is a campsite covered in blood and gore. Even if the illusion is still up, the carnage can still be seen. There are no hazards around beyond the bulrushes, with all sorts of cluttered treasure, food and other adventuring supplies.
| |
|
| |
|
| If the illusion hasn't been dispelled, the party will do an automatic {{Ability check|Nature|10}} to identify that [[Redcap|Redcaps]] were behind the attack.

| ===Spike traps=== | | ==Related Quests== |
| Spread throughout the deeper water are spike traps that when triggered will inflict {{Cond|Bleeding}} and {{Cond|Open Wound}} with no [[Saving Throw]]. A {{SavingThrow|CON|dc=15}} is needed to overcome the Open Wound, which will progress to {{Cond|Rotting}} and lastly {{Cond|Flesh Rot}} which have the same saving throw requirements. Any form of healing will cure Open Wound, preventing it from getting worse. Activating these traps doesn't remove the illusion on the wetlands.

| | *[[Save Mayrina]] |
| | *[[The Pale Elf]] |
| | *[[Save the Refugees]] |
| | **[[Investigate Kagha]] |
|
| |
|
| The traps also aren't removed when triggered, allowing them cause harm constantly unless disabled with a {{ability check|Sleight of Hand|10}}. Considering how many traps there are, it is better to avoid them by staying away from deep water instead of wasting toolkits.

|
| ===Barbed Bulrush=== | | ==Notable Loot== |
| Scattered around the wetlands are bulrushes that hold poisonous apples. When the plants are interacted with, the character will automatically do a {{ability check|Sleight of Hand|10}} or risk getting {{Cond|Open Wound}} which can progressively become infected as detailed in the spike traps. It is best to avoid touching these plants at all.
