Mislit Mask

Item

Image
Description	Although your invitations to masquerade balls are few and far between, this is a pretty sweet mask. Half of the mask is white porcelain and the other is painted the vibrant red of arterial blood. Even the best painter couldn't explain the flickers of brightness moving across its surface like the guttering light of dying torches, but it certainly adds to the effect. Of course, being a mask from a more genteel time, it doesn't have a strap to actually hold it to your head. Oh no, you have to hold it there the whole time. The other drawback is that nobody seems to notice you when you're wearing it. It's like they're missing the whole point!

Notes

Wearing this mask while on a fast runaway (see running away) will change the default message to:

You slip on your mask and vanish, befuddling the <opponent>.

And sometimes on fast runaways you can learn Behind the Mask (condition unknown, possible random chance ~ 1/3 the time?)

You slip on your mask and vanish, befuddling <opponent>/your foes.

Huh, that's pretty neat.

You learned a new Technique: Behind the Mask
