Brutrumukk easily impales the first vulture with a javelin, and it dies quickly. The other vulture looks at Brutrumukk and moves to fly away. The butcher doesn't answer Brutrumukk yet, as the vulture tries to fly away. But she doesn't look bothered by the fact that he was there.
If anything, she looks both annoyed and impressed. Brutrumukk gets the impression of the latter emotion from her approving nods.
Vulture tries to flee. Brutrumukk can do an Attack of Opportunity.
Vansel watches as Jub uses his knowledge of arcana and deft hands to melt the lock and open the cage door. He looks like he's watching a magic show and when Jub is done, Vansel applauds Jub praising him, "That was amazing, Jub!"
He then stood up and walked over to the edge. He looks at the cage opening and up to the balcony before looking back to Jub, and answering him, "Oh yeah! I can make that. Would you be okay if I carried you?"
After getting a hesitant answer of yes from Jub, Vansel picks the small goblin up and places the wizard on his shoulders, like a how a father carries a toddler.
Vansel then begins to belt a musical note, "Ooooohhhhhhh!"
He sings a jaunty song while dancing around the cage. At first it seems like just dancing, but Jub notices that the dancing is getting the cage to swing! Despite the swinging and how it increased, Vansel didn't seem to be phased, or threatened to fall. If anything, he was able to go with the flow!
He then takes advantage of when the cage is at an angle that caused the opening to face upwards towards the beam, and jumps upwards!
Both Vansel and Jub seem to fly upwards from that jump, and they fall back, right onto the beam! Vansel finishes the song and dances off of the beam and onto the balcony.
When all was said and done, he was about to just walk into the kitchen, but he stops himself upon remembering that Jub was sitting on his shoulders. He lets out an "Oh!" upon remembering.
He takes Jub off of his shoulders and sets him down on the balcony gently, and he tells Jub, "Here you are, Jub! Wasn't that fun?"
Arcana Check = 17 Sleight of Hand Check = 25 (nat 20!)
NICE NICE NICE!!! XD
Yeah, Jub conjures the Fire Bolt, but instead of just lobbing it, he manages to form the flame into more like a blowtorch than a small ball to lob at enemies, and he easily uses it on the cage lock to get it to open!
Jub and Vansel are now free, but they're still dangling over the water.
I have a potentially stupid idea (and I might have Jub do it in character even if you say it won't work just because it seems like the kind of crazy thing he might try): could I potentially melt the bars of the cage using Fire Bolt?
Ooooohhh! That's an interesting idea! XD Hmmm....
I'll say instead of doing an attack roll for Fire Bolt, I'm going to say Jub will need to make an Arcana Check and a Sleight of Hand Check. Depending on how well Jub knows his magic and how to use it, he might be able to pull that off!
