Brin decided to take it slow. If Hogg thought he needed to sneak up on this one, then he wouldn’t leave anything to chance. He also didn’t have a time limit on this, except that any time he spent hunting monsters was time he wouldn’t spend sleeping. But after his months of exhaustion, six hours of sleep, or even four, felt like a luxury.So even before leaving camp, he lay down on his bedroll and dove into his [Memories in Glass] for his Invisible Eye. He still needed [Directed Meditation] to make it work, which is why he did this in the safety of the camp. Getting eaten by a monster or even a low-level animal because he was too focused on a spell would be a stupid way to die.The Invisible Eye blinked into existence, and the jarring moment of looking down at his own body from above nearly broke him out of the spell. Determination and [Directed Meditation] kept him in the spell, and he slowly moved it away from himself and then away from camp.The eye's vision was only as good as his own, which meant that it was pretty good even in the dark. He knew that he should somehow be able to use his illusion magic to see other bands of light, even things like ultraviolet and x-ray. The fact that he kept his darkvision while in the invisible eye meant that the block might be entirely mental. For now, it was good enough.His confidence that the spell was going to hold grew the longer he maintained it, so he abandoned caution and let loose. He zoomed down the road behind the caravan, watching for any monsters. If he didn’t find something in the first ten miles or so, he’d circle back and look more closely.It took him by surprise when he found something soon after. Only two miles behind the caravan, a hunched creature stood in the center of the road. It was humanoid, but Brin could immediately tell that it wasn’t human. It had the colorless, ashen complexion of an undead, and its spine bent at an unnaturally rigid angle as it hunched over something on the road.Actually, had he ever tried [Inspecting] something through an invisible eye? Trying to remember almost cost him the concentration he needed for the spell. He tried [Inspect]. Success!
