She frequently examines people and objects closely, and she was the one who asked the Company to compare contracts, showing her own in full view when the others hesitated, which encouraged them to show theirs.

Journey So Far
Session 00: The First Road
in The First Road, Shallie arrived at the Corrow Trade Yard, displayed her contract in full view so the others would show theirs, surmised from the paragraph structure that the documents were roughly the same, and took charge of them. On reaching the Stone Marker Campsite, before any other camp activity, she cast Speak with Animals on the two mules and then encouraged the Company to rest up there. Later she cleaned Varynx with magic after the hunt and privately examined the wagon with Detect Magic.
Session 01: The Toll in the Mist
in The Toll in the Mist, a wolf brought Shallie to 0 hit points before Corvex came to her aid. She later helped Nadia pitch tents in the drizzle, took the midnight watch, and shared Goodberries with the wounded at breakfast. Shallie remained with Corvex on the driver’s bench when the mist divided the Company, marked trees with magical alchemical powder, and helped find Karis’s trail. At the Treetop Toll Outpost, she avoided a rockfall trap with a swinging dodge, found a Potion of Healing at an alchemical workbench, and examined the Hidden Workshop Letter. She then used the potion to revive Corvex.
Session 02: The Forest’s Judgment
in The Forest’s Judgment, Shallie read the words inside the Nine Lives Deck’s wrapping, awakening the Enchanted Brazier. She detected faint Illusion magic around the cards and unidentified magic in the flame. During the Red-Tusk attack, she fought from the outpost platforms with Produce Flame and Ice Knife. At the Forest Edge Campsite, she confirmed that the deck and brazier no longer produced their earlier effects. She then narrowed the wagon’s faint magic to a square-headed black iron nail, allowing Nadia to remove it and expose the rotten cargo.
