I thought that Magpie stole the charm while we were talking to him! But I’ve just reread the text and I probably was just assuming that he was the thief because … he’s a thief. But you’re of course right the skeleton-hatted-man bumped into us and it was probably him instead.

Are there 5e spells that use treasured belongings to find or scry or harm someone? I can’t think of anything in D&D but I know my knowledge of it is paltry compared to some folk here!

I also didn't think it was Magpie yesterday, but the message at our house today said straight out that he gave us the letter so I now think it probably was. Of course, it might have been someone else under an illusion but in that case I’d have thought the text might have fudged it a little. But I’ll keep an open mind. As you say, there was the spell that we couldn’t identify.
