Hello Traveler,

Hello Mr Penham,

We've been keeping an eye on you ever since your first appearance in our humble world. We do so love visitors, but our invitations take a little time to prepare~ I'm sure you can imagine why. Such regal garments as you're wearing aren't easy to make, even less so considering they're custom tailored. But, as I'm sure you agree, it's perfectly worth the wait...

You huff your dissatisfaction and shift within the rigid clothes trying to catch a deeper breath. As a breezy blows across your bare chest you begin to realize why the clothes felt so heavy, yet breathed so well.

... Now, I can imagine what you're thinking, in fact we can see you now, but do not worry~ This is far from permanent. We simply want to play a little game with a curious off-worlder like yourself. I assure you our games can be won, and if you impress and entertain, you have much to profit...

You gasp in surprise as you feel the sandals slip out from under your feet and clasp around your ankles. You feel something else wrap around your big toe, but due to the damned collar can't look down to see what's happened.

... And much to lose~ ...

Well that's ominous.

... Your clothing, as I'm sure you've discovered, is purely illusory. It fools the mind as well as the body for as long as we want, and it will continue to fool you and any who look upon you so long as you acquiesce to this humble invitation. You can walk around freely, and all the world will see you as a wealthy man. Only a mirror will show you the truth, just as we wish it~

Your first challenge is rather simple. Look upon the cloth your gift was wrapped in. It contains a map that will lead you to our facilities. Meet us there before the 7th hour. For every minute you delay, your punishment upon arrival will grow worse.

Good Luck~
