Editing Riverside Teahouse

[[File:Riverside Teahouse.webp|thumb|right|Ethel's Riverside Teahouse.]]
The '''Riverside Teahouse''' is a [[location]] within the [[Sunlit Wetlands]] in [[Act One]]. The Teahouse is the home of [[Auntie Ethel]].

This location is also known as the ''Gnarled Teahouse''.

==Overview==
[[File:Gnarled Teahouse.webp|thumb|The Teahouse once the illusion has broken.]]
The Riverside Teahouse is located inside the [[Sunlit Wetlands]].

{{SpoilerWarning}}
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 two ways to break the illusion and reveal the true appearance of this location:
* See through the illusion while in the Sunlit Wetlands. ''See [[Sunlit Wetlands]] for details.''
* Cause [[Auntie Ethel]] to transform into her true form, that of a hag. This can be accomplished several ways, such as by attacking her or accepting her deal 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 you the {{cond|Refreshed}} condition, which will increase the character's max [[Hit Points]] by 10 until their next [[Long Rest]].  (Note that temporary hit points will be removed at the same time.)  After a [[Long Rest]] this is replaced with the {{cond|Nauseated}} condition, which inflicts vulnerability to Psychic and Acid damage until another [[Long Rest]]. Drinking from the well again with the {{cond|Nauseated}} condition will give the {{cond|Sickened}} condition.
