"It does not include silence, and will break if you directly attack anyone. You can manipulate inanimate objects, though they will remain visible if they were not on your person at the time of the casting. Anything you have will turn visible if it gets more than several feet away from you."

"Well, that seems quite workable-with. Any of you want to accompany me?"

"I think I will."

"I'll pass."

"I'll pass as well. Stealth isn't my strong suit."

"Alright! Me and Elatra it is, then!"

"So whereabouts is the Duchess?"

"Probably in her wing of the Palace. I'll lead the way."

"After you, then."

Onward, to murder!

(The Duchess is guarded by some very scantily clad Dark Seducers, though fortunately for them their protection actually lies in their armor's magic. Unfortunately for them, they cannot see invisible people, and the Duchess does not appreciate having her carefully selected murderous eye candy in the room with her, given her paranoia. She's pacing and muttering to herself when Glint and Elatra slip in during an elaborate production with following a servant bearing food. The Duchess starts thoroughly investigating the rather plain meal for poisons.)

Glint slits her throat while she argues with herself about whether the skin test is reliable.

The Duchess goes down with a gurgle, and the invisibility spell on Glint fails.

Glint's grinning as she goes about cutting out her prize - she'll need to be holding the heart when she goes invisible again, so it's included in her spell.

"What a lovely sight that was," Elatra comments, still invisible.

She laughs.

"I aim to please."

"And to kill, on occasion."

"I'm quite good at both, if I do say so myself."

"That you are. Ready to go back?"

"Yeah. Let's get this to the temple."

Elatra renews the invisibility spell on the pair of them.

And out they can stroll - significantly easier than getting in, all things considered.

As these things so often prove.

As they're walking back: "We'll need to decide what to do about the Mania Duke next..."

"For some reason I suspect we'll be faced with a similar situation."

"Most likely."

"I wonder if the same person has ever held the dukedom of both Mania and Dementia."

"Sounds like a bit of a mad thing to try. I like it."

Elatra laughs softly. "Thought you might."
