Subject: [PATCH] A laden wizard shows their burden
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A carried treasure rendered nowhere in first person — the thief hauling
your gold looked exactly like an innocent. The treasure now rides its
carrier at chest height, drawn just in front of their card (a sort bias
wins the tie), gliding along with their tweened strides and showing
through warp mouths like everything else. The workshop rehearses it
with ?carry=Rival.
