Wondrous Item, uncommon
This box contains a set of cards. A full deck has 34 cards: 32 depicting specific creatures and two with a mirrored surface. A deck found as treasure is usually missing 1d20 − 1 cards.
The magic of the deck functions only if its cards are drawn at random. You can take a Magic action to draw a card at random from the deck and throw it to the ground at a point within 30 feet of yourself. An illusion of a creature, determined by rolling on the Deck of Illusions table, forms over the thrown card and remains until dispelled. The illusory creature created by the card looks and behaves like a real creature of its kind, except that it can do no harm. While you are within 120 feet of the illusory creature and can see it, you can take a Magic action to move it anywhere within 30 feet of its card.
Any physical interaction with the illusory creature reveals it to be false, because objects pass through it. A creature that takes a Study action to visually inspect the illusory creature identifies it as an illusion with a successful DC 15 Intelligence (Investigation) check. The illusion lasts until its card is moved or the illusion is dispelled (using a Dispel Magic spell or a similar effect). When the illusion ends, the image on its card disappears, and that card can't be used again.

Potion, common
Since observing a strange stone tablet in the Shadow Downs, you occasionally catch your shadow moving of its own accord. Sometimes it just leans at an impossible angle. Other times, it makes dramatic gestures incongruous with the position of your body, pointing at things or appearing to attack other shadows.
When this all began, your shadow seemed very intent on sharing some important piece of information with you. You think it may have something to do with the origins or nature of the Howling Disease. This may yet prove to be crucial in unmaking the terrible affliction.
