You guys are the best!

I'll get a quick DM post up, and contribute to the chaos a little.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Aurora: Jub, you were supposed to be watching Brutrumukk!
Jub: I did watch him. In fact, he was completely within my line of vision when he consumed the alcohol in question.
Aurora: That is not what I meant and you know it!

Meanwhile...

Brutrumukk:

Rime of the Frostmaiden

@Guardian Angel Haruki

A backstory involving both Agdon Longscarf and Strahd von Zarovich? Cool!

Are you sure you want her to have been in Icewind Dale for years though? Going years without advancing past level 1 seems a little odd to me.

@rush99999

Thanks!

I imagine her travels took place while she was an inexperienced apprentice. So, when she got to the Icewind Dale and stayed for years, she got her first level in Ranger and became an experienced guide and ranger there. ^^"

Following this I’d like more detail on the following:

Appearance:

Without Hat

With Hat

Personality: Stoic and focused, Liamoira is ready for anything. However, she does have habits based on superstitions and can be a little...too serious at times. Despite her cold exterior, she still cares about the people around her.

Backstory: Once upon a time, Liamoira lived alone in Feywild. Her father abandoned her when she was young, while her mother had disappeared to an unknown fate. While she had no family, she was a part of a group of Harengons that she considered siblings of hers. There were five older siblings and three younger siblings. They were a tight knit group! ...That is until they decided that stealing from travelers was a great idea.

Liamoira disagreed and argued against stealing, but none would listen. And there was good reason: They lived a comfortable life from their crimes. They were even able to find a mansion and live a life there.

Liamoira decided to become an investigator because another investigator caught her and her friends, but did not bring them to face punishment after learning about their circumstances. Liamoira was inspired by this investigator and she followed him. She wanted him to teach her how to be an investigator herself.

So, he did. He also revealed that he knew how to traverse through the mists and brought her out of the Feywild.

During their travels, Liamoira found that she had a way with animals, able to calm them with a soothing word or touch. So, her mentor decided to teach her the ways of being a ranger.

During her travels, both she and her mentor encountered many mysteries and dangers within the mists. The most notable of all was when she and her mentor was in Ravenloft. The both of them recognized a demon, despite his illusion. He was manipulating the townsfolk to his own ends. Of course, the demon noticed and had her mentor arrested.

Liamoira tried to rescue him, but her 'hare-brained' plan didn't work. She tried to kidnap a demon's faithful and most important lackey in an attempt to try and get her mentor back through a hostage exchange. But she was nearly caught in the act. She had to flee and she is now wanted in Ravenloft for the crime of kidnapping.

After that, she made it to the Icewind Dales, the Spine of the World, in the Material Plane. There, she remained for years, growing accustomed to the ice and snow, surviving through the harshest of winters. She also puts her investigation skills to good use, helping those who were wronged.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

@Marrakt I believe my character is ready for your review. ^^"

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Hither

Bavlorna's Cottage

Before Aurora, Gabriel, Zavakri and Vansel leave, Charm bids them an invitation, "Oh, by the way, while you are doing Bavlorna's chores, feel free to stop by my shop. It's underneath the Thunder Cloud. You can't miss it. I'm sure my fellow merchants would be delighted to meet you,"

After that, both the hag and mysterious merchant watch as the party members who bursted in leave. Zavakri follows, albeit very reluctantly.

Zavakri answers Aurora's question regarding Charm's shadow, "I didn't notice that. Maybe you're overthinking it? I mean, we're not exactly casting long shadows in this cottage either,"

The group continues walking until they finally enter the Hooch Distillery where Jub and Brutrumukk are...

---

Brutrumukk lifts the heavy barrel full of hooch and proceeds to drink all of the contents, chugging all the way. As he chugs, Jub would notice how an air of fey and wild magic seemed to gather and accumulate around Brutrumukk. This magic grows intense, becoming a visible aura of rainbow colors around him until finally...the aura of magic settled onto pure white, reminiscent of healing magic, before settling onto him.

The aura would disappear only to show that Brutrumukk's fur color changed!

His fur is now a bright red with some hairs colored black to form large polka dots. The coloration resembles that of a ladybug.

The rest of the party enter the Distillery just as Brutrumukk finishes the barrel of hooch and his fur color changed.

When Brutrumukk turns to face them, the group would see that his pupils have dilated. One would have to squint to see his irises.

Brutrumukk Only

To answer Jub's question: You feel great!

You feel weirdly giddy and bubbly, to the point where you can't help but giggle, but definitely reenergized and optimistic. There are a couple of times where you burp or hiccup and pink bubbles just come out from your mouth.

The room is now swirling in psychedelic colors from the torch lights above. They're so pretty!

You look to Jub and...wait, he's a jellybean? He's a jellybean with legs and arms, and he's covered in starfish! The starfish all peel an arm off Jub to wave to you and greet you,

"Hi Brutrumukk!"
"Hi!"
"Hi!"
"Hello!"
"Yo, I'm Bob!"

You look to the contraption in the center of the room, and it laughs joyfully, "It looks like Brutrumukk enjoyed our creation, ladies!" Numerous voices cheered from the other barrels holding the hooch, before they burst out singing "Be Our Guest".

Then you see the rest of the party. Aurora is cloaked in both shadows and flower petals. Gabriel looks like a tin soldier, but with his head on backwards, his face is upside down, and his arms and legs have switched places.

Zavakri appears as a being made of machinery and clockwork, while Vansel is all goat.

Between all of the weird sights and sounds, and the joy he feels, he doesn't even notice that his fur color changed.

Zavakri notes how Brutrumukk looked in the silent Distillery and she asked Jub, "Bloody 'Ells! Jub, what did he do?!"

OOC

OK. So Brutrumukk is definitely drunk. While he is, he has the Poisoned Condition.
To get rid of this condition normally, he will need to take a long rest. Until then, he will remain drunk.

OK. I am back home.

Now....to write a very nonsensical and trippy post...!

Brut is already at full health. Could he possibly have these as temporary hit points?

@rush99999

Sorry, but that will be a No. ^^”
The result is simply HP Recovery.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

@Guardian Angel Haruki if you didn't post already it fine to post. I'm just a bit busy with something else rn.

@Dark Cloud

My post will come later in the day. I have to go work for now. ^^"

"Remember Kids: Stay Sober!"

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

@rush99999 Here are the results of the rolls. ^_^ (Can't post IC right now ^^")

On an 18 save, Brutrumukk doesn't pass out, but he is definitely drunk. How drunk is he? He's drunk on the level of the Pink Elephants scene from Disney's Dumbo (original animated movie). The alcohol levels of the Hooch are very high.

As for the d100 roll result: Brutrumukk regains 14 HP if he had lost any to begin with. ^^"
