The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Jub: I'M GOING TO BURN THIS BRIDGE DOWN!
Brutrumukk: But, Jub, it's opposite day.
Jub: ... OH NO!

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Could Brutrumukk try and stop Jub from casting that spell.

@rush99999

... wasn't expecting that, tbh.

We've entered a weird parallel universe if Brut is trying to stop Jub committing destruction.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Jub: So while we were separated from you, I may have burnt a bridge.
Aurora: Literally or figuratively?
Jub: Well-
Jub: ...
Jub: ... huh.
Jub: Well, kind of both, actually.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Jub the Peculiar

"Oh, Hello!"

"Hey, what's the rush?"

"We've got a whole musical number planned for guests!"

"Bit busy right now!" Jub called back to the severed heads as he started running across the bridge. Maybe it was the fact they were being chased or just that he had seen so much with the last few days that his ability to be surprised had slowly been eroded, but he wasn't even slightly alarmed by the gruesome sight or even that the heads were able to address him right now. If anything, it just motivated him to run a bit faster.

"Hey you!" Jub called to the mysterious figure in the middle of the bridge, gesturing wildly with an arm for them to get out of the way. "Sorry to bother you, but you really don't want to be on this bridge right now!" As he said this, something occurred to him. "In fact, maybe NOBODY should be on this bridge right now!" He turned slightly, his arcane focus still clutched in his hand as he pointed it towards the end of the bridge they had just come from. "After all, it looks like a real... fire hazard!" With those last two words, Jub sent a fire bolt flying, aiming for the part of the bridge between them and heir pursuers, hoping to set it alight and stop the frogs in their tracks.

OOC

... I don't know if I need to roll to hit the bridge.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

I would say technically not, but I'm keeping it up just in case the guards catch up to Jub and Brutrumukk. You and @rush99999 can post at will. Just keep in mind that the bullywug knights can run and swim 30 feet, and they will do so go after the both of you.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

... oh yeah they can swim.

... that complicates something I had planned.

... you know what, still gonna do it.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

As a side note, I figured Jub would be wary of asking Rory for help as he thought(thinks maybe), she is an archfey in disguise. If not that may lead to interesting interactions when he is asking for help.

@Lurking Krog

Yeah, he's still on the fence about that. But as far as he can tell, even if she is an archfey, she probably is on their side... probably.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

@XxFellsingxX I am now almost expecting this to occur. Though I think he may call Gabe before Aurora but I could be wrong.

@Lurking Krog

Surprisingly, no. Jub is closer to Gabriel than he is with Aurora, but he also thinks Aurora is the more level-headed of the two of them...

... and he doesn't want to talk to Zavakri.

On another note, got to love that Aurora's not morally against a coup against someone she's never met or heard of, she's just worried about the logistics.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

And DM Post is finally up! XD
I have finally revealed D5!!!!

Literally me at the Beginning of the Game after Brutrumukk was introduced, while looking ahead in the module..

Me: So...Brutrumukk likes to behead people and put the heads on pikes?
Module: I'm about to ruin this character's whole career!

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Yeah, I thought I noticed something weird going on when I saw the map. I was like "Are those trees and do they have faces?"

Now I know.

... now I know.

(Also are we still in initiative? If so, who's turn is it?)

---

Also, I hope you all realise once Jub gets access to the spell Sending, he's mostly going to use it to call for the other party members when he and Brutrumukk get in trouble.

Jub, using Sending while running away from a fight: HEEEEY Aurora. For no particular reason, where you at right now?
Aurora: ... what have you done?
Jub: NOTHING! We just... really want to see you all... right now...
Aurora: *sighs*

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

The tables have turned, Brutrumukk is now Jub's shoulder gnome.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Jub the Peculiar

Jub gave a loud sigh as his words fell on deaf ears. The bullywugs prepared to arrest them and Brutrumukk, of course, escalated the situation. "Why do I even bother...?" he muttered to himself as he once again had to ready his arcane focus for a fight. However, before he could even do anything, several of the guards started ganging up and attacking Brutrumukk, causing the barbarian to suffer serious injury. Having a brief flashback to the incident with the merrows, Jub decided it was best to get the two out of dodge before they could either be killed or imprisoned.

He leaned over to mutter to Brutrumukk. "Going to need you to trust me on this one, Brut," he said. Without another word, he tapped his arcane focus on the barbarian's shoulder, casting Enlarge/Reduce to shrink Brutrumukk down to a much more portable size. He then threw the gnome onto his shoulder before starting to run as fast as he could away from the guards.

OOC

Jub uses Enlarge/Reduce to shrink Brutrumukk down to Tiny size, picks him up, uses his Bonus Action to Disengage and starts running for D5.
