The Wild Beyond Witchlight

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

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

So that leaves one question:

Where are you guys running?

@Guardian Angel Haruki

...

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

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

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...

@Guardian Angel Haruki

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

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

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

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.)

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

If my calculations are correct, then Brutrumukk is now at 4 HP.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

HOLY SHI-

... Oh yeah, we didn't heal after fighting the Darklings.

... Oops.

In fact, the vibes this boy is giving off feel surprisingly more like the kind given off by goblins than the kind given off by children.

@rush99999

If you listen very carefully, you can hear Mixer screaming profanity in the distance at this comparison.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Skobeloff: So we used a magic ritual to restore the heart of an island, and I'm worried it might have some unintended consequences-
Heliotrope: Sir, this is a Wendy's.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Heliotrope's expression went through many phases as she listened to Skobeloff's words, before eventually settling somewhere in-between mildly concerned, decently sympathetic and extremely tired. "That's a little beyond me, I'm afraid," she said. "I know enough about magic to get by, particularly in the scope of medicine, and I know about using moonlight to help curate plants, but restoring the heart of an island?" She shook her head. "That's for a nature adept or an elementalist. I do know rituals tend to be a bit more, shall we say, intricate than the average spell, but as I've never really attempted one myself, I don't really know." She shrugged.

Vipereyes, who had previously been examining some of the ingredients that lined the selves of the lab, turned her attention back towards the group. "I can assure you, I took the best precautions I could," she said. "And we had an elemental with us, who was able to give us some advice."

"I'm guessing this was the spirit moon you were using?" Heliotrope asked. "Did you have an elder supervising this or helping in anyway?"

Vipereyes' expression fell and she glanced towards Fogdance. "Err..." She didn't get to finish that before Fogdance interjected.

"I was the focus for the ritual," she said, stepping forward. She looked a little uncomfortable admitting this, but considering the subject had been brought up, she probably felt it was best to get it over with.

Heliotrope went over to the older dragon, looking her up and down. "Are you alright?" she asked. "That must have been quite a strain for you."

Fogdance shifted awkwardly, not saying anything as she made meaningful glances between Heliotrope and the drakes of the group. Heliotrope must have caught something in her expression because she nodded, and quickly stepped away.

"Well anyone else?" the healer said.

Vipereyes spoke up again. "Me and Alto here were held captive by the Darkness, same as our friend Maug over there," she said, gesturing to Alto and then over to Maug. "We don't seem to have any side-effects though-"

"Better to be safe than sorry," Heliotrope said before the older dragon could finish, and she quickly went to inspecting and asking questions to Vipereyes and Alto.

During all this, Garrock has remained quiet, not speaking up at all and instead hovering over where he had placed Maug down. Rudrick had been keeping his eyes on him and looked multiple times like he wanted to approach him and speak, but after a bit, must have decided not to. "If you don't need me for anything, Heliotrope, perhaps I should go see to Coryn," he said, turning his attention back to the healer. "He looked a little dejected when he left."

Heliotrope paused from examining her patients and turned to face the other dragon. "I would appreciate that," she said. "I might have been a little too curt with him."

Rudrick nodded before starting to excuse himself from the room.
