Because you opted out of that story hook, I had to think of something else for him to achieve inspiration, with the rest of the party.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Is that why Zybilna turned out to be Brutrumukk's Fairy Godmother?

Sometimes you just have to question decisions in life.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

This statement keeps bringing my mind back to the pre-game decision most of the party made to sneak into the Witchlight Carnival eight years ago, leading to the loss of the lost things. But I know that can't the cause of the no Inspiration rule. I opted out of that story hook while making Brutrumukk, yet the rule still applies to him.

Tir na Og.

Tir na Og? Not Tir na Nog?

Now it really hurts that I can't give inspiration to anyone yet

@Guardian Angel Haruki

I've been puzzling over this for the better part of half a month now to limited success. Any chance I could coax a clue from you?

@rush99999 Those are some hard-hitting questions. It may take me a bit to think about that, bear with me.

@XxFellsingxX

If you're still stuck on how to answer these questions, here's my two cents on what the answers could be...

How could I get you to talk to Rudrick? At this point, Skobeloff has just enough of a rapport built up with Garrock that a successful use of the CONVINCE SOMEONE move would be all that is needed to get him to see Rudrick

How could I get you to talk to Sunglow? The situation with Sunglow is a family matter. And as such, only one of Garrock's family would have any real chance of convincing him to go see his mother.

Brutrumukk

"Err... not really, now that I think about it."

"You wot?" Brutrumukk asked as the color swiftly drained out of his face.

"I do know there are some spells that allow you to summon a gust of wind which might help in this scenario but err, I don't know any of them."

"No..." Brutrumukk said before looking over the side to see Downfall, or more specifically Bavlorna's Cottage, getting smaller and smaller as the balloon drifted further and further away. "No no no no NO NOOO!" The bugbear gnome exclaimed in anguish as he reached out desperately to his current best chance at turning back to normal. But no amount of reaching could cover the steadily expanding distance between him and the cottage now. Eventually, Brutrumukk slumped down into the balloon's basket with a groan of utter despair at what was without doubt the worst day of his life.

Skobeloff

"Perhaps?" Skobeloff asked with an arch of his brow. After a moment, Skobeloff let out a chuckle and shook his head. "If there's one thing you should know about me, Rudrick, it's that perhaps has no place in anything I'm involved with." The Myndoth Trickster said before turning tail and beginning to walk back the way he came. "You three take care of Coryn." Skobeloff told the others as he departed. "By the time you're done, I'll have Garrock ready to talk."

With that said, Skobeloff made his way back to Heliotrope's clinic. Finding the bearded Warrior still present, the raw-scaled Trickster held off on announcing his presence for a moment as he began to plan his opening moves. He studied his quarry, trying to discern any sort of clue as to how he might convince Garrock to speak with his brother. Or better yet, just skip straight to speaking with his mother.

Skobeloff studies Garrock. He rolls an 11 and learns the answers to the following questions:
- How could I get you to talk to Rudrick?
- How could I get you to talk to Sunglow?

Skobeloff

"He mentioned this to me during the mission we just came from." Skobeloff said. "While we were making our way to the Treehold to gather reinforcements." Skobeloff decided to leave out the fact that the aforementioned reinforcements were ultimately unnecessary. "As for what he told me. He claimed that doesn't like Topaz very much, he mentioned that Kurkar and Sunglow were close enough that they that they thought to introduce their offspring to one another, and he said that Sunglow is a Semscale elder... Though probably not for very much longer." When Skobeloff spoke that last part, he did so with a notable degree of unease. Due both to the fact that it was likely a sensitive subject for those close to Sunglow and that ascension was a topic he never enjoyed thinking about.

Brutrumukk

As Jub cut the ropes with a single swing and sent the balloon on its way, Brutrumukk let loose a triumphant roar as they made good their escape. "We're away, booyagh! We're away! HA HAAA!" The bugbear gnome then exclaimed jubilantly before looking out and down at the bullywug knights below.

"Come back and face justice!" The swimming knights demanded.

"No!" Was Brutrumukk's simple reply. The bugbear gnome then laughed uproariously as they rose out of earshot of the knights' demands, before settling into the balloon and looking towards Jub.

"Alrighty then, next stop: The 'Ag 'Ut!" Brutrumukk exclaimed before looking around the balloon for a moment and then looking back at Jub. "Don't suppose you know 'ow to fly this thing?" He asked.
