[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 8101814, member: 2012"] The doppelganger slumps its features noticeably. "Take my treasures," it says. "Not as important as my life." As Akos removes all the doppelganger's items, its true features become more clear. Removing the crystal mask reveals a old and scarred face. Its limbs are frail and its skin hangs awkwardly in places. Breva can tell the creature is quite old for one of its kind. Its skin is mottled and full of wrinkles. "Genius... alas... thusfar," the doppelganger mimics back to Tim. "I like your words. There is an art to them, yes." It notes the sword. "Quite the brush. No need to paint. Not resisting. No, no." It pauses. "Am I a misunderstood genius? Hmm, maybe I am. But you think me just another monster with a taste for blood. Personally, I prefer my food cooked, and it is easier to blend in by eating venison. [I]Fear[/I] tastes better than blood, yes." Tuck can see that the blade of this black dagger has a serrated edge. While its pommel is well worn, the blade looks razor sharp. There doesn't seem to be anything smeared on the blade but that might be a trick of the fog. He has to hold the blade away from Mutt to keep the big dog from sniffing at it. "My brush," Mani says with excitement. "Oh, I do hope someone else will paint with it again. Alas," he looks at Tim. "It isn't for me to pain with anymore." The shapechanger becomes sullen again and there is a darkness in its eyes. It doesn't struggle as it is tied up, although it winces when the knots are pulled tight.
