That would have indeed been fitting.

@rush99999

Although come to think of it, we're probably lucky he didn't think he'd turned into some sort of flying werebeast. Or aquatic werebeast. Imagine him trying to fly or breath under water, not realising he hasn't actually gained wings or gills.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Though now looking at the various options, I am mildly sad he didn't think he was a wereraven. That would have been funny, both because they are lawful good and because it would be payback for all the threatening he made towards Kettlesteam all the way back in Chapter 1.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

When he started thinking that he had become a weretiger.

@rush99999

... I realised I actually don't know shit about how lycanthropes are handled in DnD, so I looked up weretigers and realised that, yep, they are in fact neutrally aligned and actually one of the more chill types of lycanthrope. You learn something new everyday.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

@rush99999 On the subject of moral compasses, actually, I was just looking at Brutrumukk's CS and noticed something:

WHEN THE HECK DID HIS ALIGNMENT CHANGE TO TRUE NEUTRAL?

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

As a quick reminder, the darklings wanted to by Jub's firstborn. People who buy other people tend to not be good people.

@rush99999

Oh absolutely. That is what Jub is leaning towards at the moment.

Now that I'm thinking more about it, if he were to try and stop Brutrumukk, it would have less to do with morals and more to do with "After nearly dying twice today (and Brutrumukk actually dying) can we afford to start fights with any more weird fey creatures, especially when we're missing a good chunk of our group?"

So yeah, less of a moral compass thing and actually more "Which one is going to cause us less problems?"

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Ah, now it's time to spin the roulette wheel that constitutes as Jub's moral compass and figure out whether he's going to try and stop this or not.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

... bro, I still have to buy the herbs XD

Jub really wasn't ready for this fight because he got a 5. And if the lucky stick helps with iniative, then that's still only a 6.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

I got curious for potential future RP shenanigans about whether tigers respond to laser pointers the same way cats do.

The answer is... yeah, sometimes.



So I now know what Jub's going to be doing whenever there's a full moon about to stop Brutrumukk getting into trouble.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Weretiger. XD

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Oh gods.

Brutrumukk wakes up the next morning to find that he was sleep atop the branches of a very tall tree, and is like "How the fuck did I get up here?"

Cue the rest of the group trying to figure out how to get him down.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

What strain of lycanthropy does Brutrumukk think he's got now?

@rush99999

Calling it now: wererat. Brutrumukk spends the rest of the journey with a sudden craving for cheese.
