Attacks and Abilities

Friends Until The End

Summon your friend's to play.

Action

Recharge: per round

• Oliver summons five Shadow Friend. When few of them die, he summon again endlessly.
• Oliver is not an ennemy during the first encounter with its family, so he does not use any ability at that time. However, he uses it during the second encounter once you travel the portal he creates in the house, leading to Reithwin Town.

Location

He can be found inside a House in Deep Shadows. He will challenge the player to a game of hide and seek and vanishes past the player to hide behind the cart outside the house. Once found he will be upset but you can say you want to play again which he happily accepts saying that "you are better than the others" presumably referencing the Githyanki corpses littered around the house. However, when Oliver goes to vanish and run off the player will enter tactical mode as three other NPCs have spawned; Daddy, Mummy, and Doggy. These are three hostile units that are labelled as Oliver's Daddy (Best Daddy Ever!) Mother (Best Mommy Ever!) and his dog that will attack the player - but before any actions are taken it is possible to pickpocket Oliver and take the Ring of Shadows he wears that gives the wearer Pass Without Trace.

Once the encounter is over you will find Oliver inside the home where he claims he won but because you played so well you deserve "second place" which is a reward he freely gives you.

If you're able to sneak past his family and talk to him again he will give you the ring as a prize, though he suspects you cheated but can't prove it. His family will then disappear.

Once you have advanced through the quest Lift the Shadow Curse with Halsin you will need to return to Oliver and convince him to recombine with Thaniel.

Conversation Options

When you first enter the ruined farm you will roll a perception check, if you fail the conversation begins:

Oliver:"Boo! I scared you - I saw it. Nobody beats me at hide and seek." - "Will you play with me?"

1. Who are you?
2. Play? This is no place for a child - if that's even what you are.
3. Don't startle people like that - easy way to wind up killed by mistake.
4. In a moment maybe. Have you seen another little boy? His name is Thaniel.
5. Bard I can play you a little song - would you like that?
6. I don't have time for this.

Trivia

• The corpse of the dead Githyanki Warrior inside the house can have Speak with Dead cast upon it.
  
• If you manage to pickpocket the Ring of Shadows from Oliver while he runs away during the second round of hide and seek, you will receive only a mundane silver band (worth 18 gold) as a reward for finding him.
• Oliver can be asked about Thaniel. The first time you ask he becomes angry and tells you not to ask again. If you ask if he has anyone else to play with he mentioned his Mummy, Daddy, and doggy allowing you to ask their names. He tells you they don't have names just that they play with him and does what he wants. You will then roll an insight check and if successful you can ask him about Thaniel again. If you ask again Oliver becomes very irate; "He's not special - he's nothing. You shouldn't say that name. Forget you ever heard it."
