The lack of response from Jub did not quite reach Aurora as much as Gabe's collapse onto the ground saying it was his fault. The elf was not sure how it could have been his fault, yes he cast a spell though Rory didn't think anything of it. The matter in which the bugbear's last breath escaping while still under the water, that was something Aurora was not sure she could live with. She was mere feet away from being able to help Brutrumukk, either by attacking his attackers or trying swim back to shore with him in tow.
Dragging herself up from the wet ground, Rory made her way over to Gabriel.
"Gabe... it's not your fault. Whatever it is you think you did I don't think it would have changed what happened. Those things looked a lot tougher down there than what I could see from up here." She wasn't sure if she should give the half-elf the details of the creatures assault on an unconscious Brutrumukk so she kept those details to herself. Including how she could have maybe swam back up with the bugbear.
The surge of energy through the air, and Zavakri's declaration, drew Aurora's attention away from the others. When the music started to play and the orb appeared, Aurora was dumbstruck not having any clue as to what was going on. Only after the forest gnome appeared and the swearing started did it start to make the slightest bit of sense. Somehow Brutrumukk was alive again, though not in his bugbear form.
"What in the nine hells is happening?! How?" She asked aloud while standing up from Gabe. The bag Rory had retrieved from the water slipped from her hands hitting the ground with a wet thud as her grip loosened.
