The Wild Beyond Witchlight

The answer was simple: Brutrumukk's recently acquired gnome brain told him to do it. He wasn't entirely sure why it was telling him to do all of this, but it was insisting that if he did, the problem he and Jub now faced could be resolved without violence. This would in turn allow them to conserve energy for violence against the giant cats when they caught up to them.

@rush99999

Brutrumukk: You know, Jub, sometimes violence isn't the answer.
Jub: Wait, what?
Brutrumukk: Sometimes it's a question.
Brutrumukk: And the answer is...
Brutrumukk: ...
Jub: ...?
Brutrumukk: Maybe later.

And it turns out he beat all of the Animated Armors in Initiative! XD
If you want to edit your post with his first round in combat, you can go ahead and do so. ^_^

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Yeah, I'll do that tomorrow.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Me rolling skill challenges:
Jub: I sleep.
Me rolling initiative against the animated armour we could have avoided fighting had Jub passed his previous roll:
Jub: REAL SHIT!

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

It's a (non natural) 20!

Eidolon: Conspiracy Theory

I'm still waiting for Haruki to respond to the Crow's offer.

Jub the Peculiar

Jub looked a little perturbed when the macaw landed on his shoulder, and his body swayed slightly against the added weight and his shoulder tensing as he felt the bird's claws through his clothes. "Oh great, puzzles... ..." is Jub's response to the macaw. "Because a simple 'off' switch wasn't good enough, apparently."

He looked the armor up and down, trying to read its body language or find any magical weak point he could exploit. Unfortunately, he was so focused on that, he wasn't paying attention to his own feet, and ended up tripping head first into the armor's path.

"Urgh..." Jub's sluggish raised his head to look up at the armour. "Before anyone asks, no. I don't want to talk about what just happened." Realising the thing was probably going to attack him, he decided to cut to the chase by fishing his arcane focus out of his pocket and using it to launch an attack of his own.

OOC

Jub rolls Arcana, Insight and Acrobatics (Arcana and Acrobatics are with disadvantage because he's exhausted, though the macaw cancels it out for Insight)
Arcana:9
Insight: 18
Acrobatics: 9

Upon failing, Jub rolls a (not natural) 20 for initiative, and then a(nother not natural) [url]20[/url] to hit with Fire Bolt. He does 6 fire damage.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

That would be a failure...

But, @rush99999 is giving another advantage. Go ahead and reroll Arcana or Acrobatics as a straight roll.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

I re-rolled for Arcana...

And got another 9.

... yeah the universe really did not want Jub to succeed here.

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

Jub rolls Arcana, Insight and Acrobatics (Arcana and Acrobatics are with disadvantage because he's exhausted, though the macaw cancels it out for Insight)
Arcana:9
Insight: 18
Acrobatics: 9

@Guardian Angel Haruki Oh just a question before I start making my rolls for my post: is Jub's Lucky Stick still in effect?
