/Alpha: Wind: Found an underground entrance in Mr. Scumbag's office. It's located in the Flaming Swan Tavern's back office.

/Alpha: Nix: Want some back-up?

/Alpha: Wind: No, just giving you an update. Do you get my recruits?

/Alpha: Nix: Safe and sound. You know they'll still have to pass an entrance test.

/Alpha: Wind: Give them the Nix special. They'll be fine.

/Alpha: Nix: I thought my special was breaking out of prison.

/Alpha: Wind: And making OP gear for undeserving people. Am out.

Nix laughed aloud and turned toward the small group. ”On that, we can agree.”

Semmi nudged him with an elbow and pointed to the recruits. They were huddled around Del, taking turns rubbing the soft black fur on her tummy.

/Alpha: Semmi: You're actually an Ain'Dhassi ranger... Remember?

/Alpha: Del: Right now I'm a big cat... Please don't bother me.

/Alpha: Semmi: What do you know about the entry trial for the Thieves Guild?

/Alpha: Nix: Nothing, other than there is one.

Semmi brought up her hud and accessed the Local auction house. ”What do you need?”

Nix pursed his lips for a moment while considering his choices. ”A dozen copper rings, they need to have at least one enchantment slot. I'll make the rest from my own reserves.”

/Alpha: Del: That's the camo cloth you invented? It looks different than the one you used on Cora's gear.

Nix showed her a small piece of the enhanced camo he designed when he was first marooned in Northern Titania.

/Alpha: Nix: Upgraded it a bit using some new techniques.

Camouflage Fabric V

[Enhancements]

Complete Invisibility

Sound Suppression: When applied to armor.

Sound Amplification: When applied to weapons.

Lightning Resistant: Extra protection against Lightning-based attacks.

Bonus: Material is completely immune to fire.

Del stared at the cloth for a few moments; the reds, browns, and greens seemed to be constantly shifting. ”They don't have any armor; what are you going to apply it to?”

Nix shrugged slightly. ”Nothing. Since it's a cloth and I'm a Tailor, it stands to reason that I don't have to apply it to anything. I can use it as the base fabric.”

He brought up the pattern templates for different outfits. ”Perhaps a one-piece jumper with a zipper down the front.”

/Alpha: Nix: We'll find out after the first attempt. If it's crap, I'll think of something else.

/Alpha: Del: These kids are poor and live in a fairly dangerous environment. Should you give them something that will make others target them?

/Alpha: Nix: You have a point. I'll customize each one and bind it. No one else will be able to use the gear, and they can't sell them later.

Nix queued up the jumpsuit. Since he wasn't adding any enhancements, he could list all six outfits under the same task. He merely had to change the custom target. One by one, he added the group to his friend's list.

[Custom Target: Token, Burr, Chozz, Scala, Forbes, Witchie] [Jumpsuit: Standard Pattern] [Fabric: Camouflage Fabric V] [Needle: Silver hooked][ Zipper: Ceramic] [Thread: Camel hair]

[Create Customized Jumpsuit?]

”Yes.”

[Critical Crafting]

”I love it when that happens.” Nix held up the first outfit, his keen eyes studying the results. ”I can live with this.”

Shadow Thief: Unique

Customized Jumpsuit: Token

Binds on Pick-up

Description: A sturdy outfit created for work in the shadows.

Enhancement: Complete Camouflage activated at will.

Enhancement: Sound suppression: All ambient sound within 3 meters is silenced.

Bonus: Fire Immunity.

Secondary Bonus: Hostility Reduction.

Nix stood up and motioned for the group to come over. ”You can change in the next room. I made one for each of you. They should give you an advantage when you take the trial.”

Token grabbed his jumpsuit, tossing his old clothes on the floor. ”Trial?”
