Sorvo's Robe [O!BOM012] Sorvo was a famous wizard and adventurer who could almost always be seen at the Friendly Arm Inn, cheerfully knocking back mug after mug of ale and regaling visitors who would stop to listen with tales of his adventures. It was often remarked by other adventurers, however, that Sorvo was rarely seen outside of the Inn, and that the only thing heroic about him was his ale consumption! That said, he never seemed short of coin, always staying in the best rooms; the sort of luxury which only adventuring can provide. It was when the mage eventually passed away (perhaps unsurprisingly, from liver failure) that the truth became known. He had bequeathed this striking red robe to the Inn's owner, Bentley Mirrorshade, as a way of settling his tab, and the gnome didn't take long to divine its abilities. Aside from powerful protective spells (and what appear to be several enchantments that would permit him to drink even more of his favourite tipple), Sorvo had had his robe enchanted with illusory magics, which he would use to hide himself upon leaving the Arm. Why he did this is unclear; he may have been worried about thieves and bandits upon the roads, or he may just have preferred to lurk, invisible. The truth will probably never be known.

He travelled far and wide, in search of the love of a half-elven druid. This was the buckler he carried with him to ward off attacks from forest animals as he headed deeper into the woodlands, in the hope of finding his love. The shield protected him well, as it is said that this lovesick and lonely wanderer died of a broken heart, rather than attacks by wolves or bandits. Some of this sense tragedy seems to have been imbued in the item itself, and the sense of despair can overcome enemies when released.
