The dim light before Jessica grows dimmer for a moment. He is gone, appearing elsewhere in the room.

Merry also casts a spell on himself so as to be able to see invisible attackers. He looks around, but can't see the old man from where he is, though. He decides to follow Jessica, moving up to the intersection. As he does so, he fades out into etherealness.
