You choose subtlety over force, becoming the ghost that haunts the edges of their fears. Moving like mist between the three groups, you begin your work. A missing page of calculations here, a manipulated trail marker there. Equipment fails mysteriously, compasses spin wildly, and each group begins to suspect the others of sabotage.

The Life Stream aids your deception, carrying whispers that play on their doubts. The treasure hunters begin to believe the group with strange devices has already found and hidden whatever they seek. The researchers with their equipment start to see their readings as evidence of interference from the third group. And those who thought they knew your nature find their certainty crumbling as you lead them in circles.

Through careful manipulation, you turn their greed and suspicion against them. The Heartstone's energy allows you to create subtle illusions – footprints leading nowhere, lights that suggest others moving in the darkness, sounds that make each group believe they're being followed.

Within a week, all three expeditions withdraw, each believing the others have made Kolob too difficult to explore. Their reports will speak of confusion, betrayal, and endless frustration rather than power or mystery.

You remain hidden, but your shadow grows longer.
