The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Brutrumukk

While everyone else was busy talking to Sir Talavar, Brutrumukk refocused on gathering up bramble branches. As the conversation with the faerie dragon continued, Brutrumukk piled up his assembled bramble branches in preparation for the cookout he was about to commence. "Alright you lot, I reckon I'm ready to cook." Brutrumukk called out to his companions. "Who's up fer some bugbear style fried snake?"

Here are my thoughts regarding Skobeloff's Fellowship so far:

@Digizel
Shieldwing is a fellow prankster, a lover of tricks and jokes just like you. Explain how they once got one over on you, and give them a Friendship Gem.

(My thinking here is that Skobeloff, being a true and dedicated player of the Long Game, has developed something of a blind spot for the short term. This would allow the much more direct and straightforward methods a Warrior like Shieldwing would prefer to catch Skobeloff off guard.)

@BleakBlueJay
Sylph gave you their trust and confidence at a time when you knew you didn’t deserve it. Ask them why they believed in you, and give them a Friendship Gem.

(My thinking here is that Skobeloff and Sylph were partners in trickery back when Sylph was still with Myndoth. And when the Elders of Myndoth tossed Sylph out, Skobeloff couldn't find the courage to protest the decision. Despite them having every right to be mad about this though, Sylph forgave Skobeloff and the two are still friends.)

So does Shadow Magic do something specific like the various types of Moon Magic do or is the only limit your imagination when you harness the Darkness?

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

I'd never actually heard of this colour before, so when I read this bit, I actually thought your character was so tricky, no one actually knows what colour he is, and every time they try to describe what colour he is, people are like "Err... well... Skobeloff is... skobeloff-coloured... obviously."

@XxFellsingxX

Skobeloff, an obscure color with a silly name.

Skobeloff, an obscure dragon with a silly name.

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

Skobeloff

Name: Skobeloff

Pronouns: He, Him.

Playbook: Trickster

Color: Skobeloff

Look:
While no one can quite agree on the finer points of Skobeloff's appearance, there are enough common broad strokes to allow for a recognizable description. He's slighter shorter than most dragons his age. Most of his body is the color of his namesake, but his extremities gradually become either bluer or greener the further away from his torso they go. The one thing everyone agrees on though is that Skobeloff is rarely ever without a smile on his face.

Stats:
Charm: +2
Courage: 0
Cunning: -1

Virtue:
Wit

House & Obligation:
Myndoth, the House of Oak: Trick someone into giving away a secret or vital piece of information.

Moves:
THE LONG GAME: When you reveal how an earlier failure is part of your larger plan, describe your machinations and roll +Charm. On a 10+, pick 2. On a 7-9, pick 1.
- you’ve created an opportunity; the DM will tell you how you or an ally can claim it.
- you’ve seized a position or resource; take +1 ongoing when you make use of it.
- you’ve hidden something important; tell the DM why it might be revealed again.
On a miss, you’re the one who is blindsided by your own cleverness; your feint plays right into the hands of your opposition to disastrous and immediate effect.
When you advance your signature move, mark a new potential benefit to your increasingly complex schemes. When you roll The Long Game, you may also find that:
[] you’ve discovered a secret; ask the DM a question, and they will answer honestly.
[] you’ve rallied your friends; tell one clutchmate (your choice) to clear a Shadow.
[] you’ve secured your next move; take 10+ instead of rolling to act despite danger.
[] you’ve attracted a new ally; your opposition will have to deal with them first.
Tell the DM how one of your enemies taught you this new trick, intentionally or not.

A TONGUE OF SILVER: When you mislead or trick someone with fanciful stories or invented histories, roll +Charm instead of +Cunning. On a miss, your falsehoods cost you much more than the truth could have charged

Shadowself:
You see the truths that everyone else avoids. They are so gullible, misled by the sweet lies of those who knows better. And you do know better, enough to trick everyone into doing things your way. Make sure your clutch knows how they’ve been duped, how they dance like puppets on your strings. You are the Trickster. Return from your Shadowself when a friend convinces you that some dragons will stand with you of their own free will.

Fellowship:
Fellwing is a fellow prankster, a lover of tricks and jokes just like you. Explain how they once got one over on you, and give them a Friendship Gem.

You know Stargaze looks to you when they want to get into trouble. Ask them how you exemplify their virtue and take a Friendship Gem from them.

Shieldwing gave you their trust and confidence at a time when you knew you didn’t deserve it. Ask them why they believed in you, and give them a Friendship Gem.

Not at all. Myndoth works pretty well for a Trickster, now that I think of it.

@XxFellsingxX

Baller! Any thoughts on what obligation Myndoth would give a Trickster?

Epyllion: Beyond Moonlight's Reach

if you wish for your character to be part of a House not specified for your Playbook, ask me. If I think it works, me and you can come up with an obligation together.

@XxFellsingxX

Would you have any objections to a Myndoth Trickster?

Got room for one more?

"Split into three? 'Ow did that 'appen?" Brutrumukk asked. "An' 'ow is it dangerous to break any o' those rules?"

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Brutrumukk

"Recipe City...? 'Orse Spit Tall Itty... Ownership...?" Brutrumukk asked in confusion at the mention of concepts he did not have a particularly good grasp of. "Could you say that all again? Maybe this time in common or goblin though?"
