Hither

Downfall: Hut (D16)

After hearing Zavakri's answer, the bullywugs look to each other. They whispered and croaked amongst themselves before they finally answer Zavakri and Aurora, "Actually...perhaps you can help us with the revolution! We are going to overthrow that weak ruler, King Gullop XIX!"

The leading bullywug waves the group closer and he proudly shows off a drawing on the mud floor that depicts a crude image of Gullop XIX with a dagger in his eye.

The leading bullywug speaks, "Here's the plan: I will approach the King, pretend to trip into him, and 'accidentally' stick a dagger in his eye! Bing bang boom! The King is dead and I will become the new King of Downfall!"

He then looks to half of the party eagerly and asks, "Well, what do you think?"

Downfall: His Royal Majesty King Gullop XIX (D6)

The bullywug knights could only watch as Jub cleverly uses his magic to shrink Brutrumukk down to size and carries him away. The knights were surprised as they watched Jub scurry away and one of the knights couldn't help but ask,

"Eh? That was fast!"
"What should we do?"

The King could be heard shouting after the knights, "What are you doing?! Go after them! Get them!"

OOC

Running! The Knights will be pursuing.

Downfall: Chattering Heads (D5)

As Jub flees with Brutrumukk in tow, they would come across a wooden bridge. And there would be a somewhat familiar sight for Brutrumukk here. Well...Familiar, yes, but comforting? Oh no, there is an aspect to these heads that would take away the comforting aspect for Brutrumukk: The Heads are alive and talking!

This flat wood-plank bridge, which spans an arm of the lake, is lined on one side by rows of bullywug heads on wooden spikes.

At the center of the bridge, a small figure sits with its feet dangling over one side. The figure appears to be talking to itself in bemoaned tones. But then the severed bullywug heads nearby erupt in a cacophony of voices—some indignant, others sympathetic. A few in a more distant row yell, "What? I couldn't hear what they said!"

As Jub and Brutrumukk pass by, some of the heads greet them,

"Oh, Hello!"
"Hey, what's the rush?"
"We've got a whole musical number planned for guests!"

Alrighty then. Time to get a DM Post up. ^_^

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

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

@XxFellsingxX

This game is just great... XD

@Dark Cloud@Lurking Krog
Do you want to add anything for the Hut before I write the next DM post?

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Ah. I see. One moment.

...

Does this work?

@rush99999

Sorry I completely missed this post. ^^"

Yes, that works! Thank you! XD

@XxFellsingxX

The wonderful part is that you're not the one who should be afraid... ;)

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

@Guardian Angel Haruki Is it possible for Jub to start booking it towards D5?

@XxFellsingxX

Of course!

*checks book and begins laughing maniacally*

....You have no idea how long I've been waiting for Brutrumukk to reach this location...!

HAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!

5etools has a full page dedicated to maps. Including a DM map of Downfall.

@rush99999

Here's the thing:

The previous map that went out was from 5etools. ^^"

Considering I can't find a map, I have no idea XP

@XxFellsingxX

I just updated first page to include a map.
I apologize I wasn't able to find an alternate DM map to give the numbers. ^^"

Wait, hold the phone.

Jub has Nimble Escape (I know he's never used it until now because oops) so he can take Disengage as a Bonus Action.

@XxFellsingxX

Oh right! Goblins!
Yeah, Jub can use Nimble Escape to disengage as a Bonus Action.

So that leaves one question:

Where are you guys running?

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

@rush99999@Guardian Angel Haruki So I have a feeling that trying to fight these guys isn't going to go well for us, so I have an idea, but I want it run past the two of you 1. to see if its even feasible and 2. because it involves Rush's character and I want him to be okay with it.

Seeing how much damage Brutrumukk is taking, what if Jub, deciding they need to get out of here but knowing that Brutrumukk is very unlikely to stand down, used Enlarge/Reduce to shrink Brutrumukk, picked him up and then tried to run away? (Also I am aware that this might be stupid idea because if Brutrumukk is unwilling, he has to make a Con save... which is is one of his saving throws, so it might not even work, so I just want to make sure this isn't a waste of time and/or spell slots.)

@XxFellsingxX

@XxFellsingxX

Brutrumukk will be readier to go along with this plan than you think. Since the fight is pretty clearly going south, Skiggaret will be taking the wheel and sounding the retreat. If Jub's spell looks like it would provide a way out, Brut will go along with it.

BTW, don't forget about the wings. Why run when you can fly?

@rush99999

<Snipped quote by rush99999>

Possibly, but I don't know if I can do the spell and activate the charm in the same turn.

@XxFellsingxX

Alright then...

I would say it is possible for Jub to Enlarge/Reduce on Brutrumukk. Since Brutrumukk is now a small sized creature (being a gnome now), he will become Tiny. That will be an action.

Picking up Brutrumukk, if he's willing, I will rule that part as Free Action: Object Interaction.

Now for the difficult part: Escaping.

Disengaging requires an action, and since Jub would have already used his action for the spell...
His escape will cause the three Bullywug Knights to take Attacks of Opportunity. Jub can summon the wings if he wants, but that's not going to help protect him from the AoOs. And remember, the charm has a limited amount of uses before it can't be used again...
