>>1838964You decide to take a gamble, you cast the clothing illusion on yourself. Everything except for your boots is an illusion, but it looks just like you are fully clothed in your normal outfit!
Not wanting to keep the small crowd waiting you walk out of your tent and into the cool morning air. its a bit breezy out and your illusory clothing blows in the wind convincingly.
you find yourself just inside the entrance to the small trading town of Ddirym. A guard approaches clad in studded leather and gripping a iron halberd.
"who are you, and what manner of sorcery allows you to command the great beetles?" he asks
"what? Great beetle? I just got on and it started moving. My name is Stephanie Ulenspe."
he looks at me with a puzzled expression "well insects larger than a horse aren't allowed in the gates, so please gather your things and send it away."
he barely finishes his sentence, much less waits for a response before calmly walking back to his post at the gate.
you pack up your tent and wear your backpack, you didn’t think until just now that your pack phasing through your clothes could also give you away, but its to late now.
you lead the big bug back to the outside of the gate, and tell it to stay out. Once again it follows your commands and the gate guard seems impressed.
