So this is saying it has nothing to do with our Tokens, just need to use our eyes to see something really small? The Grunnel face with the comment about Vervain hummingbirds...hmm..super small birds that hatch eggs two at a time. I think there was another mention of "Two" so maybe there are two eggs hidden somewhere on one of these pages in super small text or something.

So, Raiders of the lost Arc released in 1981. Digging deep into the Indiana Jones history/lore there does appear to be a set of books.
VTD 26 = Heart of the Sphinx
There is an Indiana Jones Book released in 1999, I believe, called The Secret Of The Sphinx.
The book was (again, I believe) the 6th in the series, and wont VTD 26 be the 6th VTD of this year? That would be two easter eggs
In the book, Indy and company are seeking the Omega Book, which per summary "It is the most coveted of all ancient artifacts. In it is written the history—and the fate—of every human being. And he who owns it writes his own destiny."
So I'm curious if our goal in VTD 26 will be to stop our possessed sage friend from getting his hands on a book that will allow him to rewrite history (and didn't we give the sage a book which made him go nuts to start with?)

Just posting this here for reference as I mentioned it in the Discord, but JennaSidonia anagrams to Indiana Jones

Chariots of Fire came out in 1981. Chariots and Fire both relate to VTD. There, I solved it all for you all.

What about these faces?

Vervain Hummingbirds always lay two eggs, so we have a connection to a small thing as well as back to the Two Eggs bit of the clue.
And the Vervain flower/plant (there is a blue variant, and the flowers are small) is apparently a well known medicine plant and was actually used in ancient Egypt. For them, it was considered a divine herb that came from the tears of the goddess Isis (more tears, which seems important since that ties in to the tear of creation bit of VTD over the last year).
And I'm not sure that this was tied to Egypt specifically but Blue Vervain was used to protect people from becoming victims of the plague?
Sooo..... possibly we are going after a book that can rewrite history and we'll need divine protection that could protect us from being impacted by one of the plagues (maybe the insta-death one?)
Or I've gone waaay too far down this rabbit hole XD

I was going to say that Vervain Hummingbirds are quite small (aka "minute"), being the second smallest type of hummingbird. Not sure what to make of it, unless it anagrams into something else. I noticed the "Tear of Isis" thing with the plant Vervain too, which made me think of the Tear of Creation.

I'm wondering if the mention of the hummingbird isn't specifically to get us to the plant?

I'm woefully outdated on my knowledge of Egypt lore, but I think that Set is responsible for killing Osiris, which is Isis's husband. And didn't the book we gave the sage belong to, or had something to do with Set? So we have a direct connection back to VTD in that case.

Minute can mean small, and Druegar has used small font repeatedly. It can also mean a unit of time. Is that anything?

Grunnel's pupils in this image look like reflections of people! I can't tell who they are supposed to be, though.

At seventeen in the middle

The middle of the word seventeen is the letter N?
The middle of hour seventeen is 5:30pm?
I don't see any way this could refer to a location in the dungeon, unless we're meant to assume it is relative to the first run which starts at 5:00pm. Or unless room 4 in the dungeon has something in it with a number seventeen, I suppose.

Not using the word "riddle" here seems quite significant, but I'm not sure what it means.
