Description

He carefully put the ne wbow in its case ans slung it by the attached straps ove r his back. In the process he has to remove his oouch, and it was then he remembered the cavern underneath the tny isle. He removed the small carved box he has taken there; still with its curious weight and incised with the strange glyphs. He handed this to Jahnlig, saying, "Since words of friendship have passed between us I will say nothing of the bow, but I offer this in return. I know not what it is, but it may be that your craft can discover a use for it." Handlig received it, his face lighting up as he moved itnot eh light inorder to more carefully examine the glyphs. What he saw there seemed to give him a start, for with quick steps he walked over to one of the table. Spreading out a dark cloth he carefully se the box theron and opened it.. Handlig gave out a gasp of pleasure. He clapped Dirsham around the shoulder and said: "You have rewarded me princely for my meager gift, for this might be the key with wich one can unlock the prison that holds me... It is a mantle of stealth, created by the wizard, Singonath... this piece of cloth—once the jewel is charged—if wrapped around the neck will convery to the wearer complete invisibility for as long as the charge of the jewel remains..."
