Reidar moved through the streets of Sweetwater with his head low and his hood pulled forward.
The town was crowded. Refugees, hunters, and merchants filled the streets. It was loud. People shouted prices, argued over food rations, and called out for party members to settle bets with violence.
The perk Stealthy Presence was working wonders. No one had noticed Reidar yet. The perk reduced the attention he attracted from other survivors, but it wasn't perfect.
It didn't make him invisible, but it made him uninteresting. To the people he passed, he was just another background detail.
It made people less likely to notice him, not invisible, and if someone looked at his face, they would still see the floating nametag above his head.
But he couldn't rely on the perk alone.
He adjusted his hood, pulling it lower. The real danger wasn't being seen; it was being identified. If anyone focused on him for too long, his name tag might pop up.
