To be fair, had the Carnival not taken Jub's ability to keep secrets, he would also try and bluff and pretend he knew what widdershins were xP

@XxFellsingxX

Oh that's right...!

Hehehehehe....XD

EDIT: Quick DM Post is now up!

I'm holding off on posting while you guys plan. I am psyched! We are so close to revealing the first Hag!

Just a couple of pings to make sure everyone gets a word in...

You mentioned that we all had the things that Agdon didn't take. Does that include the raft and the stilt pants Brutrumukk had with him?

@rush99999

I would say that because those items would not have fit in the cage with Brutrumukk and Aurora, I would say Brutrumukk does not have them.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

... my brain now has this mental image of a separate cage JUST for the raft and stilt pants.

Harengon Brigand: Why in Prismeer are we putting a raft and stilts into a cage?!
Bloody Toes: 'Cause the Hag said so, don't ask questions!

@Guardian Angel Haruki what might Rory know of redcaps?

Also I apologize for taking so long to get this post up. Been busy and inspiration has been lacking.

@Lurking Krog

No worries. ^_^ It's completely understandable.

As for what Rory might know of redcaps...go ahead and roll an Arcana or Nature for me please. ^_^

[Lurking Krog]

One natural 20 for a total of 23.

Wow! Aurora has been paying attention to all studies involving fey!

At this rate...she's the party's Feywild Guide...XD

Aurora would know that redcaps are essentially personifications of bloodlust. Despite their small size, they are strong and formidable in combat. They have to soak their hat in the blood of their victims in order to survive. If this isn't done once in every three days, they vanish as though they never existed.

Redcaps don't usually operate in groups, but in some circumstances they might be found in the employ of hags and dark mages that know methods to call redcaps out of the Feywild and put them to work as grisly servants.

Aurora also remembers a passage from Volo describing more about these creatures...

In the Feywild, or where that plane touches the world at a fey crossing, if a sentient creature acts on an intense desire for bloodshed, one or more redcaps might appear where the blood of a slain person soaks the ground. At first, new red caps look like tiny bloodstained mushrooms just pushing their caps out of the soil. When moonlight shines on one of these caps, a creature that looks like a wizened and undersized gnome with a hunched back and a sinewy frame springs from the earth. The creature has a pointed leather cap, pants of similar material, heavy iron boots, and a heavy bladed weapon. From the moment it awakens, a redcap desires only murder and carnage, and it sets out to satisfy these cravings.

Redcaps lack subtlety. They live for direct confrontation and the mayhem of mortal combat. Even if a redcap wanted to be stealthy, its iron boots force it to take ponderous, thunderous steps. When a redcap is near to potential prey, though, it can close the distance quickly and get in a vicious swing of its weapon before the target can react.

Also, some redcaps can sense the being whose murderous acts led to their birth. A redcap might use this innate connection to find its creator and make that creature its first victim. Others seek out their maker to enjoy proximity to a kindred spirit. An individual responsible for the creation of multiple redcaps at the same site could attract the entire group to serve as cohorts, emulating that creature's murderous handiwork.

In any case, if a redcap works with another being, the redcap demands to be paid in victims. A patron who tries to stifle a redcap's natural and necessary urge for blood risks becoming the redcap's next target.
As subtle as a flung battleaxe.

Brutrumukk: *Messily kills someone to satiate his bloodlust.*

A Morningstar Wielding Redcap Brutrumukk Encounters Later On: 'Ello Dad... And goodbye.

Well there has to be a few things she paid attention to when she was younger and learning. Might as well be the feywild as it would have some interest to explore and she has a bit of wanderlust.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Lurking Krog Awesome post!

OK, I'll get a DM Post up if everyone is ready!

While I'm thinking about the DM post and what comes next...

@Lurking Krog, @Dark Cloud, I would like you two to roll Initiative. No, this isn't because a battle is starting. This is to see if you can do something before someone does something reckless...

[Dark Cloud]

@Guardian Angel Haruki 7 for Initiative

[Lurking Krog]

@Guardian Angel Haruki Rolled a dirty 20.
