The market was crowded with people, and there were stalls to suit every taste. What stood out was a group of Sylvan creatures who were looking at June in a strange way while their companions wandered around the market.

- I don't like these strange Sylvan creatures, - the halfling said worriedly, - did you see how they look at you?

“And they’re not just watching,” June said. “See? The Sylvan are following us, almost casually.”

- I understand that you don't know them. I wonder what they want. Maybe I can distract them while you try to hide, or do you have other ideas?

“Maybe we should ask them what they want?” June suggested naively. “Although, your idea is better…”

- I was thinking about that too. You didn't do anything wrong, did you?

“Unless… when I’m drunk,” Yor replied hesitantly.

- Alright, let's go faster, - the halfling urged his friend and headed towards the shop that sold magical items and potions.

The Sylvan creatures didn't get too close. The shop had many items, mostly amulets, staffs, rings, and hats. Various boxes were also for sale.

- Hello. Do you happen to sell any items that can temporarily make a person invisible? Perhaps potions or something similar.

“Invisible? Ha! Are you living in a fairy tale or something?” said the merchant. However, he then decided that such a response wasn’t very polite to customers and added: “There is a camouflage potion; it temporarily changes the color of your skin. You can also find matching clothes to go with it, and you will be practically invisible.”

- No, that won't work, - Lightfoot replied disappointedly. - Do you happen to have a backup plan?

--There's a hatch in the roof,-- the merchant was stunned and frantically tried to figure out how much to charge for such an unusual service. --And what do you need it for?
By the way, the shop was one of the few stores on the very edge of the market (which was mostly open and had only awnings). The shop was small, like a shed, of course, one story, made of wood. There were windows, but if they were a little cleaner, the shop would be more visible from the outside.

- To use it, - Maiven looked at June, then back at the merchant. - Where will we be able to get to through the roof?

--There's a roof there; you can climb down from it or go up to the adjacent three-story building, which has a ladder. I don't remember exactly why it was needed.
