The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Aurora

Aurora was surprised to see someone from Waterdeep, especially with the stories she had heard of the upper class and nobility. Perhaps Nibs was one of the few who actually tried to right their wrongs. When he winced in pain Aurora looked at him with concern until she realized the ghostly figures that were around the cave. It seemed part of his curse was to live with the spirits, or manifestations that looked like, those he had wronged. There was part of her that felt sympathy for the man.

She smiled some when Jub talked about removing the curse. Nibs' fear over losing what little chance he had at redemption should the curse be lifted softened her smile. "Hope in a hags curse is a poor form of redemption. Did you attempt to do anything else to improve yourself and make right what you could before you were cursed, or did you see it as your only way to make it right?" Aurora said rather bluntly.

When Brutrumukk had leaned in to whisper something to Nibs, Aurora noticed him pocketing some of the coins. That and the shear terror that the blindfolded man exhibited only soured her disposition towards Brutrumukk even more. However, before she could say anything Jub spoke up and called out the gnome on pocketing the gold. Much to her own surprise, Brutrumukk didn't seem to realize he had picked it up and willingly returned it. The matter in which he had bullied Nibs into making a morningstar still bothered her. "You truly must have your way all the time don't you? By the gods I hope you remain a gnome till the end of your days."

Oh, don't worry, Jub isn't particularly happy with what Brutrumukk just did (both the threatening and the stealing). And I imagine Aurora feels the same honestly.

Post in progress.

@fellsing

You would be correct. Aurora already has a list of things she is not happy about when it comes to Brut. This is just another item on the list.

I'll try to get a post up later.

Whelp got a 22.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Should we all roll for it?

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

That's fair enough.

The player recognizes the potential. The character not so much.

Nibs jumps a bit at Brutrumukk's voice. He answers him, "If there is something specific you desire, I can make it. The only thing I can't make are weapons," He explains as he weeps once again, "I'm already guilty of causing numerous deaths through neglect. I can't handle being the cause of more deaths by providing weaponry,"

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Good thing that these items can definitely not be used to harm people. Not entirely sure about Jub's based of the description but the other two so far... well sneakers gonna sneak, and hope Voth doesn't put the bag over anyone's head or put some small creature/being inside that relies on air.

A Most Dangerous Game (2014 5e D&D)

Finally got something up. Sorry for taking so long.

@rush99999

It's all good. This seems to be a slower paced game, which I think suits most of us for the moment.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Fair point as Aurora did not offer a gift or service in return for the boots. At least not yet.

Regardless of that by the Rule of Reciprocity, she was obligated to accept them.

Lunar Dome 10

Gwen waved back to Arthur before tapping her pipe against the heel of her boot to knock the ash out. She went back into the Cauldron to finish getting ready for the day. When Kaplan barked his orders over the comms, her face contorted into a scowl. "I swear that man thinks we don't care about our work here. I was already planning on talking with you and Adesso about trying to find the source of it."

The scowl lightened into a small smile when Arthur had Holiday make a repair log about the intercom in the Cauldron only having static. "Fair enough, I was planning on repairing a short in a charger for a harvester in the orchard. I'll deal with the oil leak so Yev isn't down there by herself." She lifts her own comm up. "Nielson copies, I should only need 57104. I'll put fixing that short circuit for charger five in the orchard on hold until the oil leak is resolved. Just make sure no harvesters use it and don't have anyone touch it. Those are high voltage lines with lots of amperage. I don't want anyone getting hurt cause they don't know what they are doing."

She looked over to where the coffee gear was hidden away then to Arthur. "Maybe when I get back from the pits. Delivery has been made, I was thinking of index finger on my arm here" she wiggled the prosthetic finger, it was clearly showing wear. "The cereplast they used to make it is finally starting to crack. I was thinking some kind of plaststeel, but you know these materials better. All I'm looking for is durability and dexterity."

Gwendlyn grabbed her tool bag off the cart and the hard hat from her locker. She closed her eyes briefly to look over the pipelines and the maintenance corridors to get to the site Holiday marked. Once she found the best route, Neilson went to the entrance point on the west side of the Cauldron and began her trek into the winding dimly lit maze below the surface.

"Holiday, what were the results of the oil sample? I need to know so it narrows down which pipe I'm looking at for a leak."

Aurora

Aurora gently took the boots from Nibs. "Thank you, these look exquisite! I've been needing a new pair of boots for a while. Prestidigitation keeps them clean but does not fix wear and tear." She finds a spot to sit, and took off her old boots to put the new ones Nibs just made her on.

"Are you originally from these lands or do you hail from elsewhere? " Aurora was generally curious about the matter. She knew of a few merchants and nobles who 'saw the error of their ways' and tried to undo what wrongs they or their ancestors had done. Most gave money away to those harmed or in need. Others forgave debts that were owed to them. However, these good-hearted folks were few enough as it was.
