After hesitating for what is perhaps a full minute, you throw the pastry into the lake. It lands a good 50 feet away, sending ripples through the lake.
"What was that for?" Ireena asks.
"That's an evil pie," you say. "I don't know what that old lady put in there, but whatever it was, it caused me to see a messed-up vision of my childhood."
"Oh," Ireena says. "That explains the way you were behaving."
You probably did look pretty miserable. The hallucinations were causing you to view Ireena as your sister.
"Well, I'm glad you figured that out while we were here, and not out where it would've been more dangerous."
"Yeah," you say. You still feel quite drained from the effects of the pastry. You don't really feel rested at all, unfortunately.
A part of you feels remorseful for throwing the pastry away. The vision made you feel like you were really back home. The emotional effect it had on you in the real world was... odd, but is that really such a bad thing? You shake off the feeling, what's done is done.

<span class="mu-s">Long Rest</span>
The party rested for 8 hours.
Ireena returned to max HP, but you didn't benefit fully from the long rest, being affected by external circumstances. You regain up to 1/2 of your max HP instead, putting your total at 18/37 HP. You can still compensate for this by having a short rest (1 hour) later before leaving the camp and recovering HP at the cost of hit dice.
You regain all of your spell slots, Channel Divinity uses, and expended hit dice (for which none have yet been spent).
<span class="mu-s">You also gained 1,200 XP for arriving at Tser Pool, putting your total XP at 2,900.</span>
<span class="mu-s">This increases your character level to 4. The next target, for 5th, level is 6,500 XP.</span>
Changes at 4th level:
- Increased maximum HP by 5 + CON (5 + -1 = <span class="mu-s">4</span>)
- 1 additional 2nd level spell slot
- 1 additional spell memorized
- Ability Score Improvement
You now have 4 1st-level spell slots, 3 1st-level spell slots, and a max HP of 37.
