>>5729201>96Just then, you catch something in the corner of your eye. You turn your head casually, squeeze shut your nictitating membranes, and through their translucent film you focus your sixth sense. Sure as day, you see it: the hunched silhouette of a Reptilian, gripping a dagger like your own in one hand and holding something in the other. You open your eyes wide again, and he is gone.
An Amulet of Invisibility? Those are rare and precious artefacts indeed, and had you not learned to <See Invisibility> to hunt down bugbear raiders nearly two years ago, you’d have been totally unaware of this agent’s presence. As it is, you work to suppress a predatory hiss, and whisper shortly to Albacete. She moves towards the exit, as you do… But when the rival Reptilian thinks he is safe, and moves towards the pure and clear waters of Hawksong, you turn to glimpse what dark deed has brought them here.
From his other hand he produces not a vial of some poison—indeed, he’d need a BARREL, to affect such a body of water—but a squirming, wriggling thing. Its movements disrupt the Infiltrator’s camouflage, but he must think himself safe and in the clear.
He is wrong.
“<DROP IT>.”
The <Voice of the Metatron> compels the Invisible Reptilian Infiltrator to drop their package upon the stony shore of the water’s edge. The squirming, amphibious-looking thing wriggles towards the water of its own volition, while the Infiltrator breaks towards a side tunnel.
What will you do about the invisible Infiltrator?
