The girl visibly winces and tenses up in fear at Brutrumukk's angry words. While Jub is catching his breath, she answers him hesitantly, "[color=6ecff6]That's...literally impossible. He's my familiar. The moment a familiar gets hurt, they vanish back to their original plane. So...you can't really eat him...[/color]"

She then apologizes, "[color=6ecff6]Please pardon him. He insults everybody. Even me![/color]" 

Her attention is drawn to Jub as he speaks up, apologizing for Brutrumukk and asking her where they are. She answers him, "[color=6ecff6]Oh! I don't mind at all,[/color]"

She clears her throat and begins a practiced speech with a bombastic and cheerful tone, gesturing around her, "[color=6ecff6]You are currently standing in the Courtyard...Nay; The Palace of the Great, Powerful, Wise, Omniscient, and Benevolent Ishaan![/color]"  She stands awkwardly, after gesturing, as though realizing this should have been spoken [I]inside[/I] of the palace.

She goes back to her normal tone of voice, "[color=6ecff6]I am sorry to say that this is the Elemental Plane of Air. Unless you can fly, there really isn't anywhere else you can go if you don't want to find yourself falling forever and ever,[/color]" 

She then reassures, "[color=6ecff6]But! I'm sure Master Ishaan can help the two of you once he returns,[/color]"

[CENTER][color=00746b][h2]Downfall: His Royal Majesty King Gullop XIX (D6)[/h2][/color][/CENTER]

The King turns his attention to Aurora, Zavakri, and Gabriel as they approach the King and Aurora begins speaking. He seems intrigued by Aurora's words as he rubs his chin with a hand. Both Aurora and Zavakri can see that Illig has moved like he went to convene with the other nobles, and after a few whispers, he is moving slowly and subtly, grabbing a glaive from under a cushion...

[hider=Insight DC 10]You notice that many of the other nobles notice this, but they're not saying anything. You realize why pretty quickly: Some of the other nobles here are in on the coup, or at least approve of it enough to not say anything to the King![/hider]

The King answers Aurora, "Interesting. Brought here against your will, my dear? Well...Bavlorna would have a way back. You would have to speak with her. It's a good thing you came here first. You need my permission, my blessing, to be able to speak with her...."

Illig is behind the King at this point with the glaive unsheathed.

"Now I can give you my blessing if you..."

The King doesn't even get a chance to respond. The glaive glints in what little sunlight is there in the twilight of this realm as it is brought down and beheads the King! 

There is only silence from the Bullywugs as they look from the head to Illig. 

Illig takes the crown and places it upon his head. He calls out, "King Gullop XIX is no more! I am now King!" The bullywugs cry out in response, 

"All hail King Illig!!!"

The coup was a success.
