She yells at Mojo for having destroyed what was probably a magical robe. He says “Fine, yell at me for trying to be useful.” Narg interjects “Being useful. There’s a class that few of us would take and none of us could teach.” Mojo says he didn’t want to risk untying the gnome’s hands. “It was probably magical!” she reiterates. He answers “Could have been. The gnome didn’t like me cutting it.” She says “Well, I doubt you’d bee too happy if I cut your clothes off of you.” With a lecherous grin he says “What if I were Aradyn?” She blushes. </p><p></p><p>Cassie picks up the pile and is warned that some of the pockets are trapped. She gets out her surgical tools and carefully dissects the robe pieces, setting off a few traps in the process. Using tongs and pliers she opens the 18 separate pockets. Spell components are in 12 of them, 3 have assorted coinage, 1 has a marble, 1 has a small 2-inch square picture frame and the last pocket is empty. Both the marble and frame appear to be magical. The frame actually resembles a 9-pane window like would be used on a child’s doll house, and even has a latch that can be used to slide it open. Cassie speculates that it is some type of portable window, and was probably how Wister managed to get into the building. Mojo makes the bad pun “I’m sure he went to great pains to make it.” </p><p></p><p>She decides to ask Wister about the items. He explains that the marble increases spell effects, but only works if held long-term by the spellcaster. He says that the window is indeed a portable window, and that when activated it enlarges to a 2x2 foot window that will allow viewing through any wall, floor or ceiling that it is placed against. It is also a one-way window, as an illusion is created on the other side making the wall look unchanged. Furthermore, the window can be opened and traveled through, acting as a Passwall spell. He offers to let them borrow and use it provided that they get their wizard friend to fully recharge it before returning it to him, as it is currently down 14 of its 36 charges (as indicated by a darker staining on the wood around 3½ of the 9 panes.)

The group randomly picks a tavern where no guests are currently at, choosing to meet for lunch the Jester’s Bells, located in the artisans district of the west outer city. They tell Melito they have a slight problem, as most of the prior ‘stealth team’ is no longer available, with it now consisting only of Blip. They say that they will come up with an alternative by the next day. He departs.</p><p></p><p>Using the process of elimination, they decide that during the past week Fiona, Kharole, Lannon, Mojo, Narg and Serita have been too high profile for that team. They also decide that Bruce, Cheveyo, Furynick, Timothy and Vincenzo would have difficulty operating in a stealthy way . Mojo interjects “Yeah, but you could hide an entire stealth team behind Vincenzo.” That narrows it down to Aradyn, Cassie and Mark, all of which would need some type of disguise to change their appearance. Mark puts on the clothing, wig and fake beard that Dar had worn, and the group concludes “Close enough.” Cassie uses a variety of cantrips to change the length and color of her and Aradyn’s hair as well as skin tone. Cassie turns her owl familiar Deanna invisible. New clothing is found for Aradyn and Cassie to wear.

The group debates having Serita teleport back to the island to retrieve Mojo’s cousin Lono. Lono is a skilled fighter/rogue, but also has a rather obnoxious and abrasive personality. The group reluctantly concludes that she should go get the elf. She returns with Lono, and the group immediately begins to regret that decision, as Lono starts off my questioning “The competence of this group that I will be the leader of.” Party magic items are distributed, giving this team a Bag of Holding, a Ring of Regeneration, the Portable Window and some healing magic. </p><p></p><p>They decide that for lodgings the stealth team will use the already rented rooms, taking with them Dar and Wister’s keys to the rooms at the Magical Stone Inn and the One-eyed Gnome Inn.

That was the first ILA convention held after I had been expelled from the local guild and ILA, and I wanted to know what was being said in my absence, particularly if it concerned either myself or Kindor.
