While "playing" with Oliver, simply walking up to his invisible model will usually cause him to become "found." Automatic perception checks may be rolled, but for unknown reasons, these checks (on failure) don't always seem to disqualify the player from "finding" Oliver. | While "playing" with Oliver, simply walking up to his invisible model will usually cause him to become "found."

After "finding" Oliver for the first time, he will immediately start a conversation with the party member who found him. He will be upset but can be invited to play again which he happily accepts but with but with additional "rules to the game."

Before any actions are taken during this turn-based phase, it ''is possible'' to pickpocket Oliver and take the Ring of Shadows; this ring can be useful while resolving this "second round" of Oliver's game, because this ring allows the wearer to cast [[Pass Without Trace]]. | |||
If the party are able to sneak past his family and talk to him again he will give you the [[Ring of Shadows]] as a prize, though he suspects you cheated but can't prove it. His family will then disappear. Characters with the [[Outlander]] background will receive [[inspiration]] for winning the second round without alerting the shadows. | |||
