Oliver appears to be a small olive-skinned tiefling child with a grotesque shadowed gash infecting his right eye. [[Monk|Monks]] can pass an {{Ability check|Insight|14}} to sense his true nature, which if passed wipes the aesthetics of the [[shadow curse]] from his body, which subsequently resembles more of a typical tiefling child (though with ghastly heterochromia intact). | |||

Regardless of whether Oliver's game was played, the player can confront him with their new information about Thaniel and his identity. Oliver will become upset, summon a portal, and disappear through it. Players can interact with this portal to travel to his new location, where a combat encounter will happen. Should the portal fail to work properly or players simply want to travel on foot, Oliver's new location is at roughly the center of [[Reithwin Town]] at {{Coords|-152|-26}}. | |||
