...Krog, are you sure you want to pick up the hat? ^^"
Just adding this to the list of simple things that are made so much more complicated by the Feywild, right next to 'buying basic supplies from a merchant'.

Bio
Fell, she/they, English, currently obsessed with DnD and other ttrpgs. I do art sometimes. I am the GM of two tabletop roleplays on this very site:
- Beyond Moonlight's Reach, a story of four young dragons growing up in a post-apocalyptic fantasy world, and using the Powered by the Apocalypse game Epyllion.
- Search for Tir na Og, a DnD 5e campaign set in the Planescape setting where a group of strangers from all across the multiverse come together to solve the mystery about what happened to the Celtic gods after they and their homelands were mysteriously spirited away.

The Crow:
Oh I don't think the Crow would kill them, but maiming is definitely on the table.
Yeah...I would not be surprised if the Crow reacted with "...So?" in regards to the plagiarism/theft. ^^"
I did consider that for a bit, but after some thinking, I came up with a different idea.
The Crow nodded along as Emily spoke, doing his best to understand to her conundrum... though admittedly, it was difficult. From his knowledge about humans, they were very serious about the whole concept of 'personal property'. If he took something from another animal, they would give chase and try to get it back, but once he was far enough away with his prize, there was nothing they could really do about it and would usually accept it. Crows were a little more tenacious, but even they sometime had to admit when something was a lost cause. Humans weren't like that. They were attached to their things, so much so they had all these rules about what belonged to who, and would go through great lengths to get their things back or at least get some sort of compensation.
The Crow supposed there was something admirable about that, though he got the sense that Emily might not be in the position to do much within the boundaries of human law.
So he suggested an alternative.
"Well, when people wrong me, I don't sit in distress," he said. "I'm angry, yes, but I use that anger. If someone has wronged you, you should do something to, how do you say, 'get even' with them." He nodded sagely. "Sometimes I tell other crows about it, and then we all band together to harass them." He gave another, more affirmative nod. "So who is this person? Me and the boys will go find them and show them what's what."

Emily: Someone stole from me, claimed my creation as their own and then made everyone think I was the thief.

Jub the Peculiar
Jub added onto Brutrumukk's question. "Yeah, is there anyway to disable it?" he asked the macaw. "Or at least tell them we're not a threat? Like a secret password or something?" Even as he was speaking, he had taken out his arcane focus and was mentally running through the lists of spells he knew for one that could help them get out this situation in case the bird's answer was 'no'. An idea was forming inside him mind, but considering how drained he was, he wasn't whether it would actually help, and wanted the bird's insight before they did anything else.
Here's hoping Cloud returns to see it.
In regards to Brutrumukk, a detail of his that hasn't come up is that his views on marriage are rather... odd.
For those of you unfamiliar with Ceremony, the spell's wedding feature grants the happy couple a +2 bonus to AC while they are within 30 feet of each other.
Basically, the way Brut sees it, marriage is just a way to temporarily turn a close comrade in arms into a second shield and that the best time to tie the knot is on the eve of a long and dangerous battle.
Initially, he thought Palasha and Candlefoot were getting married because the Witchlight Carnival was going to be traveling somewhere dangerous for its next stop. Now, he thinks they're getting married because of the danger posed by the hags.
He's going to be very confused if he ever finds out the real reason they want to get married.
...Also, if he ever has access to a holy spellcaster of one of the goblinoid gods while knowing that a tough fight is coming up, Brutrumukk may very well end up proposing to Jub.
Cue a very confused Jub. Like 'confused to the point of being unable to form coherent sentences'.
Also, I'll get a post up in the next couple of days.
@Guardian Angel Haruki Edited my post to give Emily more to respond to.
...
....
......
Yeah, Emily's explanation didn't do much to abate the Crow's confusion. If anything, it made him feel even more like he was missing something.
Strange. His mind was buzzing with all these thoughts and feelings, this new layer of information he had never had access to before... and yet it all made him feel like he understood everything far less.
It was a less than pleasant feeling, and he had no idea what he was supposed to do about it. Still, he had enough awareness in that moment to realise said unpleasant feeling was not Emily's fault. Apparently, when they had first met, she had been feeling a very different, yet much stronger unpleasant feeling, and his presence, despite the fact he had been unable to comprehend what she was going through at time (and still wasn't sure if he understood it now), had made it... better? At least a little?
Okay. He could comprehend that much, at least. Now he just needed to figure out an appropriate way to respond.
"You're... welcome?" the Crow said.
Yup. Nailed it.
... Okay, maybe he needed a little more than that.
"The Crow is always happy to lend assistance... even when he has no idea what he is giving assistance with!" he added, before a thought occurred to him. "Why, err, were you so distressed, may I ask? What is this 'betrayal' you speak of?"
