===Playing with Oliver===
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.

After "finding" Oliver for the first time, he will immediately start a conversation with the player who found him, and may ask to play again. If humored, he will oblige but with additional "rules to the game."

He can be found inside a [[House in Deep Shadows]].
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." He says that "you are better than the others" presumably referencing the [[Githyanki]] corpses littered around the house.  
He will challenge the player to a game of hide and seek and vanishes past the player to hide behind the cart outside the house. Once found he will be upset but you can say you want to play again which he happily accepts saying that "you are better than the others" presumably referencing the [[Githyanki]] corpses littered around the house.

When Oliver goes to vanish to start the "second round" of his game, turn-based mode will trigger for all nearby characters, and three new hostile NPC entities will be spawned; [[Daddy]], [[Mummy]], and [[Doggy]]. Smart idea here is to use [[Potion of Invisibility]] and run to the house.
When Oliver goes to vanish to start the "second round" of his game, turn-based mode will trigger for all nearby characters, and three new hostile ghost-like entities will be spawned; [[Daddy]], [[Mummy]], and [[Doggy]]. Smart idea here is to use [[Potion of Invisibility]] and run to the house.
Interested players should also be aware - before any actions are taken during this turn-based phase, it ''is possible'' to pickpocket Oliver and take the [[Ring of Shadows]] he wears; 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.


Once the encounter is over you will find Oliver inside the home where he claims he won, but because you played so well you deserve "second place" which is a reward he freely gives you.
