Tactics

• Cloakers are  Ambushers, forcing the party to pass a  DC 18 Perception Check to avoid being  Surprised. This check can be triggered on the toadstool platform at X: -805 Y: -862, the elevated position of which allows for easy high ground for initiating combat.
• It has a multiattack which can be used when enemies are  Frightened. However, only its phantasms can cause the frightened condition.
