Cloak Pin Of Stealth
by Mark Burton
Value: 18,000 GS
Looks: A slim silver cloak pin with a black onyx pin head. When viewed
closely, the onyx pin head appears to have shadows moving within it.
Effects: Upon command, the wearer can become transparent and ghostlike
with a 70% chance of moving silently and a +30% chance of hiding in
shadows. The pin will also allow the wearer to "pass wall" 3 times a
day. Further, the cloak pin will allow the wearer to teleport up to five
miles away twice per day.
History: Little is known of these cloak pins, however it is suspected
that they were created for the Assassin's guild some time ago. It is
known that about 80 years ago the mage Maphusi Wind Lord, a air mage of
the highest abilities, was commissioned to do something for the
Assassin's Guild. Whatever the project was, it took him 10 years to
complete his tasks. Than he announced he was going on vacation. He was
never heard from again. Some say that the Guild paid him off to
disappear from Arduin forever, others feel the Guild may have taken more
direct action. The existence of five of these have been verified,
however, rumors suggest he may have made as many as 13 of these cloak
pins.
