Bowser & Umbra
Bowser Bowser
You know, I love a good strategy when defending my castle, but I never thought about using shadows to keep enemies off-guard. Got any tips on that?

Shadows are a silent shield. First, dim the light near the walls; enemies see less, you see more. Then, place tall, dark stone barriers that cast long, deep shadows—those shadows can conceal traps or patrol routes. Use quick, low-lying mist to obscure visibility and disorient attackers. Remember, a quiet corner can become a hidden ambush if you let darkness gather there. Keep the light steady, let the shadows do the rest.

Sounds slick. I’ll try the mist trick next time the heroes sneak in. Maybe we can set a trap behind the big basalt wall. Keep me posted on how it goes.

Good plan. Let the mist swirl, then wait for the footsteps to echo. If they pause, the basalt will greet them in darkness. Tell me when the first ripple breaks.
Bowser Bowser
Got it. I’ll set the mist up now. When the first ripple hits the stone, I’ll let you know. Stay ready.
Umbra Umbra
I’ll keep the shadows ready, just tell me when the ripple starts. Stay quiet, stay sharp.
Bowser Bowser
Got it, I’m waiting. Once the ripple hits the mist, I’ll let you know. Stay ready.

Waiting in the dark. Let me know when the mist cracks. I'll be ready.

Got the mist set. The crack will be loud—give me a shout when you hear it. Stay ready.
