*[[Decrepit Sanctuary]]


There are several ways to break the illusion and reveal the true appearance of this location:
=== The 'sheep' ===
* Upon entering the area, the character will be given the option to make an [[Investigation]] check to see through and break the illusion. [[Monk|Monks]], [[Sorcerer|Sorcerers]], [[Warlock|Warlocks]], and [[Wizard|Wizards]] will have an additional class-based option they can select which will reduce the difficulty of breaking the illusion.
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 provoked or having angered Ethel, they will become hostile.
* By speaking to one of the sheep in the area, which is really a [[Redcap]] or [[Redcap Blood Sage]] in disguise. If successful on an [[Animal Handling]] check, the character will realize the sheep is an illusion, causing the location's illusion to fail.
* Attacking one of the sheep, which will force the character into combat with the [[Redcap]]s, breaking the illusion.
* Having [[Auntie Ethel]] reveal her true hag form.


===Spike Traps===
=== Bloody campsite ===
Spread throughout the deeper water are spike traps that when triggered will inflict {{SmallIcon|Bleeding Condition Icon.webp}} [[Bleeding (Condition)|Bleeding]] and [[Open Wound (Condition)|Open Wound]] with no [[Saving Throw]]. A {{SavingThrow|CON|dc=15}} is needed to overcome the Open Wound, which will progress to [[Rotting (Condition)|Rotting]] and lastly [[Flesh Rot (Condition)|Flesh Rot]] which have the same saving throw requirements. Activating these traps doesn't remove the illusion on the wetlands.  
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.


The traps also aren't removed when triggered, allowing them cause harm constantly unless disabled with a [[Sleight of Hand]] check with a [[Trap Disarm Toolkit]] at a [[Difficulty Class|DC]] 10. Considering how many traps there are, it is better to avoid them by staying away from deep water instead of wasting toolkits which are hard to come by for now.

===Barbed Bulrush ===
=== Dispelling the illusion ===
Scattered around the wetlands are a bulrushs that hold poisonous apples. When the plants are interacted, the character will automatically do a [[Sleight of Hand]] check at [[Difficulty Class|DC]] 10 or risk getting an [[Open Wound (Condition)|Open Wound]] which can progressively become infected as detailed in the spike traps. It is best to avoid touching these plants as all.

In the southeastern most corner of the wetlands, there are some close islands that can be hopped across that leads to a secluded island infested with Mud Mephits and Wood Woads.
