A goofy grin blossomed on Brutrumukk's face as the portraits greeted him in the hallway. The bugbear returned the greetings with a wave of his own. He then opened his mouth to compliment the fairy's dancing, but Stargaze spoke up on his shoulder before he could.
"Ah! Look! There's Fellwing! We found her!" Stargaze cried happily upon recognizing the black drake who was examining the mirror down the hall.
"Ah, Stargaze, Skobeloff. There you are! I'm glad you're alright!" Fellwing greeted her friends before turning her attention back to the mirror. "There's something odd about this mirror, but I'm not quite sure what it is..."
"Right then." Brutrumukk said. "Join yer friends on me shoulder an' lets see if we can't figure it out." Once Fellwing was settled, Brutrumukk moved to stand in front of the mirror and tried to determine what was up with it. However, Brutrumukk would quickly become preoccupied with admiring his reflection in the mirror. "Oi oi. Who's that 'andsome chap in the lookin' back at me, eh?"
Brutrumukk rolls a 15 and a 9 to investigate the mirror.
"Whatever she's laughin' about must be real funny to keep 'er goin' this long." Brutrumukk commented as the tiny old woman continued to laugh.
"And it seems like she won't be stopping any time soon." Skobeloff said. "While we wait for her to calm down, do you think we could start looking for our two friends?"
"Sure thing." Brutrumukk said as he placed the tiny old woman on the top of his head while keeping a hold on the length of rope he didn't need for the tying. "Who're we lookin' for?"
"They're both drakes like me and Stargaze." Skobeloff described. "One of them is red and goes by the name Shieldwing. The other is call Fellwing. She has black scales."
"Shieldwing an' Fellwing." Brutrumukk said with a nod. "Right right. Now we know who need's findin', we just need to know where to start lookin'."
"I wonder where that smell is coming from?" Aurora spoke up then.
"Smell?" Brutrumukk asked. "What smell?" The bugbear then sniffed the air and quickly picked up the delicious scent of stew. "Oh. That smell." Brutrumukk said as he looked to the door he could smell it coming from.
"That smells like something worth investigating." Skobeloff said. "If our friends aren't wherever it leads, at the very least we'll find something tasty."
"Let's go 'ave a looksee then." Brutrumukk agreed before moving to follow the scent.
Brutrumukk places Mini Bav 3 on his head and moves to B7.
I too think that this shop is worth a look. Were Brutrumukk sober, this sentiment would have been expressed IC as well. But as it stands, Brut is far too busy being drunk to go shopping at the moment.
When Brutrumukk tied the Lornling, is he including the Lornling's arms & legs? Or is it just wrapped around the Lornling's torso?
Brutrumukk only intends to bind her sides, but will also bind other things that get in the way. If the arms were near the torso at the time, they'd be tied up as well. The legs would be left alone.
Also, if he doesn't need all 30 feet of the rope to tie up Mini Bav 3, Brut will hold onto the remainder like an unintentional makeshift leash.
Leaves on the Breeze nodded in response to Aura's request. "Your companion has suffered greatly in our defence." The tabaxi said. "We won't forget that. We will care for them for as long as they take to recover and we will contact you via Sending once they awaken." Leaves then turned to Rala and continued. "We need no payment for this." Leaves assured her. "They have paid more than enough through coming to this much harm while fighting for us. We might not be the most honest folk, but we don't abandon those who have done right by us. As for who did this..." Leaves paused for a moment, shuddering as she remembered something horrific. "Whatever patron your companion made their pact with... it did not take kindly to its warlock being brought low like this. Wherever the man who did this is, I am certain it is nowhere good."
Everyone, if I could have your attention for a moment. There is something I'd like to say.
A while back, I came into possession of £10. For a time, I didn't know what to do with it. Then I remembered that I was using generic bugbear art for Brutrumukk's picture and that @XxFellsingxX was a talented artist who drew their own artwork for Jub. So I decided it wouldn't hurt to see if they'd be partial to getting paid to draw a picture of Brut for me.
Fellsing agreed to draw the picture, but insisted on doing it for free.
