On the shores of Lake Nahami, beneath Dolmakyar, we venture back for a moment to... small rendezvous between one Murray Magnesson and Cadogan Vale, some hour before Cadogan falls asleep in the fairy cave. We go to the moment at the end of that long evening, the meeting of the Sundered Houses and the discovery of Primus Taconus, the events of the Hallowed Realm and the discovery of the Caedra, and all of those foul goings-on at Obermyss Manor. a little bit of business for us to clear up having to do with some artifacts taken from the Mirkanod Couturier as Professor Magnessen finishes her identify spell and can determine what these magic items are and do. Where do we find you guys? Are you in the cave?
Are you on the shore? Are you beneath the new blooming cherry tree?
That's how I feel, too. Yeah, super wrecked. Where would we be?
I don't know. I think you guys are beneath the cherry tree as blossoms fall here in the wood. Yeah. As the lake shimmers, Cadogan, before you will, take your rest in the cave below. And Murray, your divination produces insight into these accursed demonic, or I should say, accursed and crafted by demons' magic, but crafted by the mortals who wield it. Mm-hmm. All right, Teach,
what are we looking at? I assume you did some sort of ooky spooky magic analyzation, whatever. It's a little ooky spooky. I got to say, I'm still like, I'm a little drunk. I'm a little buzzed. In fact, I'm on that worst part of a buzz where I'm coming down off of it, but I'm still awake. Wouldn't know, never had a drink in my life ever. Oh really? Is that true? It's completely true. You can trust me 100%. So I'm pretty sure my ooky spooky magic is correct here, but asterisks is all I'm saying. It's been a long ass day. All right, so, All right. This is a long list. You checking your notes? I'm checking my notes. Yeah, yeah, right. All right, this magic cloak. This cloak is crazy. Yeah. And this is the one that? Yeah, it allows someone to become one with the shadows.
So it helps you blend into the shadows a little bit more. Okay. A little dark. Like how blended? Like invisible blended, or? Like... Blacks look blacker, shadows look a little darker. Edgy, I like it. Yeah. All right. And then I think it also has some sort of, it looks like it has some sort of mage armor property
as well. So this would be, you're looking at the jacket now. Oh, I'm
jumping to the jacket. So the cloak? makes you better in shadow, right?
Absolutely. Looking at the, as you examine the cloak, it grants one with the shadows, which is a warlock invocation, allowing the attuned warrior to cast Invisibility on yourself without expending a spell slot while in dim light or
darkness.
While in dim light. Mind if I? Yeah,
try it on. and we're in a wooded area by this tree,
I'm
going to try to slip into the shadows and see what happens.
What does Murray see when I The jacket, the cloak completely follows your intention. And as you attempt, are you looking for Murray's reaction in this moment? It's twofold. I am testing this from a practical standpoint, but I also want to tease her a little bit. Gotcha. As you go in, wishing to remain to be seen, you do remain seen. You can see.
