The Wild Beyond Witchlight

I'm probably gonna have Jub follow someone... probably not Brutrumukk unless the bugbear tells him to.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Jub scurried after the bugbear, still looking very nervous. This nervousness turned into outright panic when Brutrumukk addressed the ticket goblin, and in a voice that anyone within earshot was likely to hear, referred to Jub as 'that other goblin'.

With a burst of anxious - bordering on hysterical - laughter, Jub patted the bugbear on the leg. "Hah... poor fellow doesn't know what he's talking about," he said. "Other goblin? Really now!" Even as he was speaking, he was attempting to pull his hood further over his head.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

LOL. It's all good. ^_^

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Let's just say Jub himself didn't notice. He is quite flaky, after all.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

... I just realised that ticket goblin referred to Jub as 'young goblin' and I didn't have Jub say anything about that. Oops.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Jub held up his hands. "I am just as in the dark here as you are, my friend," he said. "Regardless, the fellow at the ticket booth would like to have a word with you. Something about a misunderstanding, I believe he said?"

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Jub flinched slightly from the bugbear. "Apparently, my, err, good man..." he said. "You, erm, have a ticket." He motioned over to the carnival. "The charming fellow at the booth has said that someone had paid for a ticket for you, as well as for myself and a few others."

@XxFellsingxX
For the 'Friendly conversation' part of Jub's answer...

Deception check please. ^_^

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Rolling with disadvantage for, err, reasons.

So his lowest roll was a 10, and with his deception modifier it would be a 13.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Jub's ears pricked up as he heard someone behind him speak, and he glanced over his shoulder to see a human woman. How long had she been standing there? This was the second time today Jub the Peculiar's legendary senses had failed him. He'd have to be more vigilant. More importantly, those words she had just said, about things not being for free... sounded really familiar, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Jub shook his head. Oh well. It would come back to him later. He pocketed the green pair of wings before the ticket goblin suddenly addressed him, mentioning his previous conversation with the bugbear. Beneath his hood, Jub started to sweat. "Ha... indeed, I, err, have spoken to the gentleman over there," he said with a feigned laugh. "Just a passing, err, friendly conversation if you will. I don't know the man personally, of course." Anyone who had spoken to Jub previously would immediately pick up on the strain in his voice. When the ticket goblin asked him to bring the bugbear over here, Jub gave another small laugh. "Ha... you got it, my eloquent friend, I'll, err..." He stepped out of the line. "I'll be right back." He hurriedly made his way over to the bugbear before anyone else could speak to him.

Once he reached Brutrumukk, Jub immediately dropped his grandiose demeanor. "So, err, there's a complication," he said to the bugbear.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

because she's ALREADY afraid of EVERYTHING HERE.

@Fading Memory

That is an appropriate response.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

I shall roll all sorts of INSIGHT upon this, on the other hand.

@Fading Memory

Why do I feel this is gonna be a running thing with our characters? xP
