This towel was wrapped around the shoulders of a free running elf who clambered over walls and leapt off buildings to outpace those from whom he stole. The towel was imbued by a wizard, whom saw a hefty fee for it, to regenerate the runner at an increased pace and increase his overall hardiness. Alas he one day forgot his towel and was struck down after growing weary. Relying on the towel too much is therefore ill advised.
