The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Jub the Peculiar

Jub breathed a sigh of a relief once he finally caught up with Brutrumukk, who was seemingly unharmed and coming to the end of his murderous rampage. The goblin considered sending out a flare then and there but, noticing the expression on the bugbear's face, decided instead to approach. "Hey, don't sweat it, Brut," he said. He awkwardly climbed the raft and gave Brutrumukk a small pat on the arm. "I'm sure we'll have, err, plenty other opportunities for battle given..." He gestured to their surroundings. "... you know, where we are. This place certainly seems full of surprises."

"Shoot!" Jub hissed under his breath as his spell failed to have any real affect on Brutrumukk. Much to his surprise, however, Tsak didn't take this as an opportunity to back down and instead outright attempted to charge and shove the bugbear. It didn't work, as he predictably barrelled right through her and went running off into the mists anyway, but Jub couldn't help but respect the fairy for her attempt.

After the fairy flew off in a huff, Jub turned to the remaining members of the group, and pointed in the direction Brutrumukk had gone with his thumb. "I'm just going to follow him, make sure he doesn't get lost," he said, slowly side-stepping towards the mists. "Once he's cooled off, I'll send up some fireworks for you to find us." With that, he turned and went after Brutrumukk into the fog.

@Cao the Exiled You know what, I like Tsak. I don't feel she's gotten much opportunity to shine as the rest of the group, but her 'take no shit' attitude here is actually pretty cool, especially in this scenario when we're in the middle of nowhere and probably shouldn't be running off on our own.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Thank you @rush99999.

Everyone else, are you all following Brutrumukk?

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Jub probably will. Worst comes to worst and they get lost, Jub could use his Prestidigitation as flare so they others can locate them both. It's certainly better than letting Brutrumukk be completely alone in this strange place.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Well, at least he didn't attack Tsak. Jub considers that a success, honestly xD

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

welp, I tried xP

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Brut could easily crush or move the small fairy, but she feels it'd worth a try

@Cao the Exiled

That's exactly what Jub is worried about xD

Jub the Peculiar

Before Jub could respond to Gabriel, Tsak had seemingly taken it upon herself to try and stop the bugbear. The goblin's concern about possibly losing Brutrumukk in the fog turned to actual panic as he feared he might strike out at the fairy for getting in his way. Hoping to mitigate any potential damage, Jub produced his magic wand from his coat pocket and, approaching the pair, began muttering to himself and making a gesture with his free hand in attempt to cast an enchantment on the riled barbarian.

OOC

Jub attempts to cast Hideous Laughter on Brutrumukk. The DC is 12 and Brutrumukk has to make a Wisdom saving throw.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

@Guardian Angel Haruki So my plan is to use Hideous Laughter to incapacitate Brutrumukk so that he doesn't run off into gods-knows-where. Would that work? Am I allowed to do that?

@XxFellsingxX

Do you also suspect that Jub might tip the other way if he spends enough time riding on Brutrumukk's shoulder?

@rush99999

Not as likely, but I'm definitely not saying 'no' to the possibility. Brutrumukk already has been something of an influence on him, given how fireball-happy Jub was at the beginning of this combat xD At the beginning of this RP, Jub probably would have considered trying to talk the brigands down or trying to make an escape before he considered outright attacking them. He's definitely feeling a lot bolder than usual.
