Jub followed Brutrumukk's gaze towards the boat. It said a lot about the state of things that a boat driving itself was perhaps the least bizarre thing that had happened to them today. That being said, the boat and the magic that seemed to be around it still made his wary. [color=CCCC22]"If you're planning on hijacking that boat back towards the cottage, you're going to be sorely disappointed,"[/color] he said. [color=CCCC22]"It's got some sort of enchantment on it to make it go back and forth between the two docks."[/color] He glanced over at the barbarian. [color=CCCC22]"I heard somewhere that gnomes are apparently more magically attuned than most other folks so I'm surprised you can't sense it. Maybe that's something they have to train themselves to do..."[/color] 

As he was speaking, something seemed to occur to him. [color=CCCC22]"Look, if I really can't persuade you not to go to that cottage, there is perhaps another way. I still have a couple more uses of that charm the Witchlight Carnival gave me when I was crowned monarch. Now that we're about the same size, I could try and carry you over there."[/color] He didn't exactly want to enter that hag's house again, but if the former bugbear was dead set on it than he doubted he could persuade him otherwise. At least this would save them some time... and the possibility of ending up in the water once more.
