Near Hither?

????

As Brutrumukk approaches the fountain to interact with the bird, he can hear the macaw mumbling to itself in Common! It moves about on the lip of the fountain bowl as though it were pacing,

"...Stupid, stupid girl! I just had to get ripped from the Feywild to serve some stupid, wannabe wizard of a girl! And what does she make me do? Help out with chores...!"

When Brutrumukk holds out food and beckons to it to land on his shoulder in exchange for food, the macaw notices and seems to roll its eyes while looking up,

"Oh great! And now some jester schmuck thinks I'm some stupid parrot who would do anything for food!"

Jub's Arcana. No roll needed

Jub, you do not need to think hard about this magical anomaly. You have this spell in your spellbook! You realize that the macaw is no mere macaw. This is somebody's familiar!

After a moment, the macaw seems to widen his own eyes in surprise, before he speaks, "Wait a minute! How'd you get here?!" He doesn't even allow time for Brutrumukk and Jub to answer as he squawks and takes flight,

"AH! Aaliyah! Aaliyah! We got weirdos in the courtyard! I repeat: Weirdos in the courtyard!!!"

Hither

Downfall: Hut (D16)

The party was able to rest for a good hour, and plan the assassination of the king in relative peace, with the Bullywugs willing to provide any information the party needed. Eventually it soon became time to head out. The bullywugs told the party,

"Follow us. We'll lead you to him,"

Downfall: His Royal Majesty King Gullop XIX (D6)

The bullywugs led them around the circle of fog around the hut, and soon came to where King Gullop sat with the large tome in his lap. He looks angry at his five guards. Three of them look exhausted and are still panting, while two of them look fine but abashed.

"How could this happen?! You idiots! How can a gnome and a goblin manage to outrun you and steal our last balloon!!!"

The knights who could still breathe, bow and apologize profusely,

"We're so sorry, Your Highness! It won't happen again, Sir!"

Sorry for the wait guys. I am back and now I can respond. ^^"

Apparently turning into a gnome has allowed Brutrumukk not only to speak to animals, but also perceive the fourth wall.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

I think the last thing Aurora would ask the Bullywugs is how many guards the king might have.

After that I think I'm good on my end to move on.

@Lurking Krog

I will also be satisfied with that question. As long as we’re not disgustingly outnumbered Zav is willing to dazzle with magic.

@Fading Memory

Aurora and Zavakri would learn that the King has five guards. The numbers may not be much, but they are considered among the elite among the bullywugs for good reason.

I suppose that would be another question(s) as well, after the king is killed would the knights simply give up or would they pursue until told otherwise? Would they even accept the change of kings? Is their a knight that they might be dissatisfied with king Gullop?

@Lurking Krog

Aurora would also learn that because a change in rulership happens so often, the knights would simply give up if their king is killed. They'll most likely accept a change of kings, assuming they don't decide to try and commit another coup.

The only knight that was dissatisfied with King Gullop is now sitting in their prison awaiting trial.

I can't really think of anything for Jub to add right now.

@XxFellsingxX

Thank you!

And with that, I'll be able to move both parties onward IC. ^_^

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Is Jub still exhausted?

@XxFellsingxX

Yes. But he still has the Luck Stick.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Does the Perception check need to be active or would passive perception do?

@rush99999

Active please. ^_^

Near Hither?

????

Just taking in the scenery in front of them, Jub and Brutrumukk notice that a lot of things from the Feywild seem to be missing here. There is a grand palace in front of them, beyond the vast garden. There is also a large, ornate fountain with cascading waters serving the centerpiece of the garden of variously colored flowers and trees. The surrounding winds seem to be at a calm zephyr now, with blue skies above them.

Investigation DC 15

Should either Jub or Brutrumukk take a closer look around nearby, they would find cat paw prints! They're heading towards the palace. Could the cat from earlier headed there?

Perception DC 10

If they are to look closely at the fountain, they would see something red on the fountain. That's...a bird? A red macaw to be precise!

Di'Siveks: Adventure (A D&D 5E Game)

I am also okay with it.

Planescape: Search for Tir na Og

Aaliyah

Aaliyah considered herself lucky to have met Lissandra upon first arriving to Sigil. She honestly doesn't know where she would be without her help. She was all to happy to talk about her home, both in the Elemental Plane of Air, and her previous home in the Material Plane (as much as her memory would allow) in exchange for Lissantra's help. Naturally, Aaliyah listened to Lissandra as she teaches her about Sigil, the gates, and everything Aaliyah needed to know.

Other than that, during the week, she took every single opportunity to learn as much as possible.

Everything is so New! It's so exciting!

Of course, she didn't forget about Lissandra's request to meet her at the Great Bazaar in Market Ward this afternoon! A certain familiar wouldn't let her forget it!

"Ow!" Aaliyah yelps as her familiar, a great horned owl pecks her head, and lets out a hoot.

Aaliyah answers the familiar while rubbing her head, "I know, I know! I'm looking for her, Bruno!" She then realizes something and asks, "Wait a minute! What are you doing, just perching on my shoulder? You can fly!"

The owl looks away from her innocently, before she tells him, "Come on, Lazy! Help me find her in the crowds!" She shrugs him off and he takes flight with some choice telepathic words sent her way, and she follows him.

Thanks to their efforts, they are able to find Lissandra. When Aaliyah sees her, she gives a wide smile and waves back to her calling joyfully and enthusiastically, "Heeeey! Lissandra!" before running up to meet with her. After reaching Lissandra, her familiar lands on her shoulder again.

Aaliyah asks, "Sorry, I didn't keep you waiting too long, did I?"

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

@Guardian Angel Haruki Upon using Study Someone and getting a 7-9, you are allowed to ask one of the following questions:
- What is your character hoarding?
- Who are you holding a grudge against?
- What could I learn from you?
- What does your character wish I’d do for you?
- How could I get you to _____?

@XxFellsingxX

Ahhh...

Let's go with "What could I learn from you?"

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Stargaze

Stargaze listened to Shieldwing's answer to her question, and she nods to him in agreement. When he mentioned how he knew how Coryn might be feeling, she nodded in agreement, remembering why she wanted to go after Coryn as well.

She answers him, "OK. Let's go," before she moves with Shieldwing and after Coryn, following Rudrick's lead, down to the living quarters area. Rudrick proceeds to ask Lazward about Coryn's whereabouts. Upon hearing that Coryn is in the bathroom right now, she figured it was best to wait for Coryn to come out. Barging into the bathroom isn't exactly the best idea.

She noticed that the plants are moving on their own, and Lazward was beating it with a feather duster. She tilted her head in curiosity, and she couldn't help but wonder why the plant was acting up like that. Lazward's flat tone also baffled Stargaze. She couldn't tell if they were being serious or if they were joking.

"Eh?" Brutrumukk said in confusion before looking up to see a cat the size of an ogre lounging on the balloon. "What the f-"

@rush99999

Me, the DM: *Under the impression the cat is sized as Small or Medium, and Ogres are Large* ...What?
*Looks up stats and realizes the Cat is indeed Large* Oh. Now I am Boo Boo the Fool...
Eff it. Curious Cat rules then, he can change his size.
