Right, we also knew out the gate Nana May was a night hag. They Hourglass coven we are not sure what kind of hag they are. Likely green hags or worse I think.

Also in Rush's RP Jørmund was kinda on the edge of attacking the hag or not. At least that is where I thought his head space would have been.

@Lurking Krog

Fair enough. Though, yeah, I can understand why Jørmund would think about attacking her, considering we weren't entirely sure how we were going to get out of that situation xP

But here, Brut's actively considering just... straight up fighting a hag. To be fair, we'd probably have to face them sooner or later, but it is amusing.

Jub the Peculiar

"Oh..." Jub said in response to the green wisp's words. Well, now he felt like an insensitive jerk. "Right, sorry." He scratched the back of his head sheepishly.

When the wisps instead asked that the group take down a member of this Hourglass Coven they had heard so much about, Jub's eyes widened in alarm. He opened his mouth to say something when Brutrumukk cut in. Surprisingly, for perhaps the first time since Jub had met him, the bugbear seemed to exercising some form of caution. Still, the fact he didn't immediately say 'no' to such an outlandish request was worrying, because it meant he was genuinely considering it. "Have you even met a hag, Brutrumukk, let alone fought one?" the goblin asked. "I haven't, but I've heard enough stories to know it's not a good idea. They have access to all sorts of crazy, old magicks that even some of the most seasoned archmages might not have heard of."

I mean the CR is based off of a party of 4 adventurers all about the same level. We are a party of six, seven if the sayter starts to reply as well. Now with how our rolls go here on the website who knows.

@Lurking Krog

Fair. It's just funny to me, especially comparing to our party in Rush's RP. Our party of level 3 takes one look at Nanna May and collectively starts shitting ourselves as we wait for anyone to make the first move. Meanwhile, Brutrumukk at level 2 is like "I mean, I could probably take a hag... if the pay was worth it."

Jub: Violence is not the answer!

Brutrumukk: You’re right, violence is the question and the answer is yes!

Jub the Peculiar

Jub looked thoroughly unconvinced by Brutrumukk's claims of good intentions, and was just about to say something when the four will-o-wisps appeared. "Woah!" He put his hands up in front of him and fluttered backwards a little. "Sorry, sorry!" he apologised frantically to the green flame in front of him. When none of the flames made moves to attack him, he lowered his hands. "I must say though, if those trinkets are so important to you, you might consider putting them somewhere a little more secure than say..." He carefully gestured towards the objects. "A geyser in the middle of nowhere." He folded his arms. "Surely you folks have heard of a bag of holding? I've heard they're rather good for storing one's valuables."

When Brutrumukk put forward his offer to go kill this Agdon Longscarf the wisps had mentioned in exchange for their shinier objects, Jub shook his head. "Really now, is that your answer to everything?" he muttered. "We've already got things to do. We can't waste time going on some wild goose chase just because you want some shiny objects."

Aurora: We could really anger the Hourglass Covern is we take what doesn't belong to us!
Brutrumukk:

Jub the Peculiar

Jub looked at the bugbear increduously. "Did you not hear what Miss Aurora just said?" he shouted down, somewhere between annoyance and bewilderment. "Do you want us all to end up in servitude to a coven of old, witchy fey?"

The Wild Beyond Witchlight

No problem!

Before I write a DM post (hopefully today), I want to be sure of something:

…Does Jub take any of the items?

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Nope. Jub 100% agrees with what Aurora said before and isn't about to bind himself into eternal debt with some hags. That sounds like the opposite of a good idea.

@XxFellsingxX
I forgot to add for your Nat 20 investigation, Jub can definitely feel that none of these items are Jub’s ability to keep secrets in a physical form.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

I had a feeling you would have definitely told if they were, but thank you for clarifying X3
