Masquerade

[Rezantis]

Rez chews his lip thougtfully for a moment.  "Well, if it's fine with you, I could probably use the help on my run south.  We'd better let Drac and Bjorn know what's going on . . . and hm.  We should talk to Radagast, since he was going to cloak me and another stormrider in an illusion to disguise us as lorekeepers . . . that could just as easily be you and nobody should be the wiser."

[Brian]

"Well, that was the plan," Durant's seemingly disembodied voice replies.  "I sure as hell hope that Archonae can't see through invisibility."

[Rezantis]

"No, not you follow us through - you -be- the second stormrider.  Radagast seems pretty confident they can't see through his illusion . . . and if they can, well . . . we run like our lives depend on it, 'cause they will.  We'll go grab Phil, I guess, and head over to see Radagast."

[Brian]

"I'm too short to be a storm-rider," Durant complains.  "But, anyway, you're the boss."

[Rezantis]

"And I'm too big to be a lorekeeper," Rez snickers, "So we're even.  Assuming Radagast is willing to go along with this."

Nathan turns around and starts heading back down to the library - then catches himself.

"Something you might find intensely useful - Phil found out last night that the same way as we can pull our tricks from home - like my gauntlet - we can pull our whole bodies.  If you can manage that trick, it'll at least help you not get recognized."

[Brian]

There's a thoughtful silence, and then Durant suddenly reappears in front of you -- except, it's not bardly-Durant, it's the real-world Durant.

He seems a bit surprised.  He's still wearing this world's Durant's clothes, and in addition to that he's carrying a knife.  His clothes stick out a bit, since he's wearing that cape (which people evidently use to recognize him as a bard) but other than that, he would probably just blend in.

He shivers a bit, and looks at you.  "Seems to work okay, I guess," he says, after looking himself over.  "But man.  I get cold way easier now for some reason."

With that, he vanishes from sight again.  "Something to think about, though.  Thanks, Nate."

[Rezantis]

"No problem.  Sorry I forgot to mention it earlier.  Anyway, let's get moving."

Nathan starts heading towards the library!

[Brian]

Durant may or may not be following -- it's hard to say.

Nathan now moves to Shrouded Mystery.
