Recap
The party continued the cottage investigation and encountered escalating supernatural effects: memory disruption, curse/debuff impact, and rooms phasing against hostile spaces. Combat followed in both a throne-linked encounter and an attic bramble corridor.
Major Events

- Hobgrim commented about the scarf; Sabong ignored him.
- Hobgrim bet Sabong had a scarf in his bag.
- Entered another room that began phasing in and out with a throne-space of Yshula.

Important Context

Unresolved Threads
- Determine what caused Sabong’s curse/debuff and memory disruption around the floor opening.
- Determine the significance of Yshula’s throne-space phasing into the room.
- Determine what entity controlled the outer-planes demon encounter terms.
- Continue clearing and mapping attic bramble corridors for remaining leads tied to Taviah.
