Crow nods what bartender said and turned back to his work. Crow decides it's unlikely a trap but better just observe things himself from shadows. He searches a shadowy corner in thickly filled tavern and if lacking such space he goes outside into alley. In there he channels and focuses using his essence through his skull motiffed belt which started leak shadowy essence. He suppressed his anima flaring with concious effort. Then he uses his personal essence to cloak himself to become harder to detect while shadows concealed his form and gave him dark wraith alike appearance.<br/><br/>Once in the given form he floats into air and moves to third floor of the establishment.....slinking and moving in like a dark wraith carefully in shadows.<br/><br/>OOC: Go and activate Shadow Form from Shadow Walking amulet (which is belt in his case). He gets +4 bonus to stealth checks in shadow (which stacks with Cloak of Shadow permament speciality from stealth charm). Also shadow form means he is now dematerialized and he uses his state to try enter third floor unseen and undetected. He rolls with 17 dice without excelencies for stealth and his anima power is active (so -1 to folks sux to detect him).
