Overview
The Riverside Teahouse is located inside the Sunlit Wetlands.
The appearance of the Riverside Teahouse, much like the Sunlit Wetlands is actually an illusion; this location is really the Gnarled Teahouse, the lair of the hag, Auntie Ethel.
Breaking the illusion
There are three ways to break the illusion and reveal the true appearance of this location:
- Seeing through the illusion while in the Sunlit Wetlands
- Attacking the Redcaps disguised as Sheep outside the Riverside Teahouse
- Causing Auntie Ethel to transform into her true form, that of a hag. This can be accomplished in several ways, such as by attacking her or accepting her offer to remove the parasite.
Illusionary wall
The backing of the Fireplace in the Riverside Teahouse is an illusion. Approaching the fireplace will cause the party to roll Perception checks to notice it. This wall can be passed through, which leads to the lair of the hag, Overgrown Tunnel. Passing through this wall will cause Auntie Ethel to become hostile.
Well
Just south of the Teahouse entrance is a well that is also deceptively affected by the illusion of the area. Interacting with it when the illusion is up will have it appear as fresh, sweet-smelling water gurgling gently below. Without the illusion it is revealed the well has a fetid smell as it's full of dead flesh. Despite the truth of what's really in the water, drinking from it will give the 
condition, which will increase the character's max Hit Points by 10 until their next Long Rest. Temporary hit points will be removed at the same time. After a Long Rest this is replaced with the 
condition, which inflicts vulnerability to Psychic and Acid damage until another Long Rest. Drinking from the well again with the condition will give the 
condition. If drinking from the well prior to engaging in combat with Auntie Ethel, she will change the effect of to during the battle.
