Spiridon Native Fur Cloak

A thick, pelt-like cloak woven from coarse animal fur in muted earth tones that blend against Spiridon's rocky plains. Its raw edges flap against Codal's arms as he swings it over the Dalek's sensor casing, using the dense fibers to blind the machine while Latep smashes its weapon arm with a rock. The fur reeks of sweat and mud, the scent of survival in this hostile terrain. Its weight is substantial enough to muffle the Dalek's strident commands as it thrashes beneath the concealment.

Before: Folded and carried by Codal, likely tied around his waist or bundled in a pocket as survival gear

After: Wrapped tightly over the Dalek’s sensor dome, concealing its vision matrix and snagging on jagged casing edges

Codal and Latep disable Dalek scout

The thick pelt-like cloak is snatched from Codal’s grasp and flung over the Dalek’s sensor casing, smothering its optical systems and plunging it into sensory deprivation mid-hunt. The dense fur muffles the machine’s strident commands as it thrashes, turning its own mechanical voice into a muffled growl beneath the organic shroud.

Before: Hanging loosely from Codal’s arms, unused and unremarkable among the group’s gear

After: Dragged down over the Dalek’s lid, obscuring its vision and partially muffling its commands
