<Snipped quote by Guardian Angel Haruki>

I've been puzzling over this for the better part of half a month now to limited success. Any chance I could coax a clue from you?

@rush99999

I could...
But I think I already gave you the clues.
Sometimes you just have to question decisions in life.

<Snipped quote by rush99999>

Haruki's going to reveal that the real inspiration were the friends we made along the way.

@XxFellsingxX

That might be true...
for One of you...

If you can't figure it out, then there's no need to worry. ^_^
If the rest of the party (@Dark Cloud@Fading Memory@Lurking Krog) are thorough enough for the rest of Hither, then you'll find out anyways. ^_^

Now that I think about it, while Brutrumukk is looking out of the basket towards Downfall...

@rush99999 Go ahead and roll a Perception check for me please. ^_^

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

@Dark Cloud Dang...!

Now it really hurts that I can't give inspiration to anyone yet, because Gabriel just gave the perfect reason as to why the Dice Gods deemed that his lost item would be in Hither! And it ties to the theme of this part of the fractured realm!

...I'll make a note of this for later...

Haha, I was just convinced I had made some bigger error.

Related will wrap up my character sheet tomorrow or Thursday.

@Abstract Proxy

I forgot to mention...

The Charisma Score's missing. ^^"

Looking forward to seeing your character sheet! XD

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

I hadn’t been trying to ignore or blow Gabe off before, Zav just got exclamation-pointed by Bullywug Schemes and now her rigid brain is playing catch up.

@Fading Memory

I am quoting this because I 100% agree.
It's also my fault for the poor timing of that Exclamation Point during Gabriel's attempt to have a heart to heart.

So, I owe you for an apology as well, @Dark Cloud

In the meantime, you guys have the short rest if you want to have your characters chat IC.

When you guys are ready, just let me know and I'll move things along. ^^"

Short rest, gotcha boss. Time to remember if that does anything for Zav. Been a minute. I can at least update my sheet while on a train. Upon reflecting, indeed, the only short rest ability on a clockwork soul sorcerer is at level 20. Zavakri is thusly refreshed.

Her Aid spell would stay in effect, it theoretically lasts until we typically would next long rest. I’d like to retroactively shift the extra HP onto Zav if you don’t mind since Tsak hasn’t been active for a bit.

@Fading Memory

I'll allow the retroactive shifting of extra HP onto Zav. ^_^

Disney & Dragons 5e

That's a 7 on the perception check hahaha I hear and see NOTHING (roleplayerguild.com/rolls/26818)

@Benzaiten

Aw, bummer. ^^" Worth a shot though!
Just out of curiosity, let's see how Pacha does...
And I'll have some tea while I'm at it...

....*spits out tea*

He got a Natural 20. He heard and saw Yzma's firing!

<Snipped quote by Guardian Angel Haruki>

I'd like something to do while we wait. Maybe we could have Brut and Jub chat in the balloon for the time being, and you could invent something for us to do if we run out of things to say before the rest of the party can catch up.

@rush99999

Sounds good to me. ^_^

Just let me know when you run out of things for Jub and Brutrumukk to chat about in character, and I'll come up with something for the both of them to do.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

<Snipped quote by Guardian Angel Haruki>

Well, Jub would like to sleep because he's exhausted and needs all his spell slots back.

@XxFellsingxX

On the long rest...

Let's see how long it takes for the rest of the party to finish up Hither in game... ^^"

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

There we go! The post is up!

Now...we come to a similar problem we have faced in Chapter 1.

@XxFellsingxX, @rush99999, your characters are heading to the next area of the game. However, I would like all of the party to reach the next area at the same time (as doing so is the next milestone for leveling up).

So, unless you two would like me to invent something for Jub and Brutrumukk to do while the rest of the party finishes up Hither, you two may be waiting for a while. ^^"

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Again, if you would like me to come up with something for Jub and Brutrumukk to do, just let me know. ^_^

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Hither

Downfall: Balloon (D2)
Now Departing...

Jub easily hops into the Swamp Gas Balloon basket with Brutrumukk, despite the cries and startled yells of nearby bullywugs. Despite the smell of moldy cheese permeating the air, the tiny gnome and the goblin wizard easily find the one knot holding all four ropes, and thus the basket, down to the earth. Jub swings his dagger at this knot and easily cuts it!

With that one single cut, the balloon floats in the air.

This allows the both of them to see the knights below. Some of them had taken to swimming around the earth elemental towards them, while the leaders are distracted by it! The swimming bullywugs shout at the pair of them, demanding them to come back and face justice!

However, the both of them realize one issue as they continue to float away from Downfall....

They are now at the Mercy of the Winds of Prismeer...
They now head to territories unknown within this...
Domain of Delight...

....The smell of moldy cheese does not dissipate any time soon...

OOC

The chase is over and we're out of initiative!
And Brutrumukk and Jub are now heading out of Hither!

@XxFellsingxX@rush99999

Downfall: Hut (D16)

As Aurora, Gabriel, Zavakri, and Tsak take the time to rest and recuperate in the hut, they would first hear the bullywugs speak.

"Sir! One of the balloons seems to be departing! Sir!"
"I thought all of the balloons were supposed to be grounded after the last time someone stole a balloon!"

The leading bullywug speaks, "Another example of King Gullop's unworthiness, I see!"

Looking out of the window, the three humanoids and fey would all see a balloon floating away from Downfall! The balloon is clearly made of patchwork cloth, but it still functions as a normal hot air balloon. Some might note that the shape of the patchwork cloth balloon resembles a peach...
