The Healing Potion

The cloathing and sword transformed itself into a small bottle with a blue liquid, clearly marked "Healing Potion". Astra said to herself "This could be a foul illusion, or perhaps it is a Memote, a rare creature I have read of which changes into whatever one wishes. If it is a memote, I could change it back, and have my desire, as long as I say nothing else to make it change again. If it is illusion, trying to pick it up could put me under the control of the illusionist."

She says "sword and clothing". The illusion or Memote changes back into a brilliant, bejeweled sword, and a short dress. "Now the question is: is it riskier to chance that this is an illusion, or to continue on with neither weapon nor clothing?

1. Move along, assuming that it is illusion, and hoping that you won't need a sword
2. Take the sword and put on the dress, hoping that it is not a foul illusion.
