Hi! I'm CB Ash - also known as Kummer Wolfe. To be fair, I spend my days going in several directions at once from software architect, inventor, and UX designer to science fiction and fantasy writer, Game Master, and worldbuilder on World Anvil!   In short, I'm a creative storyteller!   As you might guess, the day job is the long-time software architect / ux designer/inventor part. The rest is the 'night job'.   Aside from that, I'm working on a few stories and RPG settings, one of which is in my world 'Summerdark', another in Tales of Justice, Hoist the Colors, and some serial fiction in Windtracer! (and quite a few more!)   Beyond that, I'm either working on one of my github projects or web component architecture.   Oh, I'm also on Substack! Here! https://kummerwolfe.substack.com/   ... and I wouldn't turn down a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/cbash   ... and feel free to stop by my Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/cb_ash)!   And some words of wisdom that I re-read from time to time...  

What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.

Appearance

Physical Description

Bruthazmus' size, gives him a general appearance of being essentially a 'brick' or 'square' shape. However, this isn't quite the truth.


 

Traveling and working along the Warden Road as a member of Falcon's Rangers keeps him in shape. He augments this with weapons practice, working in his garden, and other activities. This actually leaves him with a well-muscled form that is a bit lean for a bugbear.


 

Like all bugbears, Bruthazmus has claws that resemble a bear's claws. However, they're not sharp enough to use as weapons. So, he keeps them trimmed down otherwise they'd get in the way of his archery.

Body Features

Bruthazmus doesn't look any different - overall - than the average bugbear. Covered in brown and russet fur ( which the long fur on top of his head he keeps swept back and braided to make sure it stays out of his eyes ), he doesn't show any outward scars or deformities.
 
The only true mark that there is something different to Bruthazmus, is the sharp gleam in his eye and general calm expression on his face most times.

Apparel & Accessories

Bruthazmus often wears a linen shirt, trousers, and ankle-high boots. The latter he augments with homemade gaiters that help protect his legs between knee and ankle. These padded canvas gaiters aren't much more than cloth armor but they easily protect against thorns and many hazards in the woods.
 
Distinct items he wears would be an old black waistcoat with four pockets in it. This vest has been repaired and well cared for over the years. Along with the vest, he has a weatherbeaten wax canvas hat that he occasionally uses on trips to keep the sun and rain off his face.
 
Last is his Falconer's Coat. This is an oilskin longcoat issued to Falconers that helps the wearer blend into their surroundings a bit better, not to mention give them some protection.

Mentality

Personal history

Bruthazmus started life like most other bugbears with much the same happy, primitive, murder-hobo result. Being of the typical primitive intelligence of any other bugbear, he worked with his tribe to raid primarily kobold tribes. On uncommon occasions, this also included human or elven settlements.
 
This was the tribe’s method of ‘harvesting’ or providing an offering to the abyssal, corrupt power that the tribal shaman ranted on. However, Bruthazmus rarely understood what the shaman was going on about. Since the shaman made a mean barbecue, he was often given a pass for being loud.
 
Until one day, Bruthazmus tried to ambush a lone human wandering along the Warden Road near the ancient tower in the Mosswood forest. His ambush wasn’t exactly a success and the human wasn’t exactly your average traveler. The human was an arch-mage, Aflyn Spindlewheel, also known as Aflyn the Transmogrifier. In a sudden, unexpected turn of events, Bruthazmus found himself gainfully employed for the next five years, yet without pay.
 
Bruthazmus became what Aflyn referred to as a “Crash Test Magic Tester”.
 
If the usual magical methods or research failed to identify an item, Aflyn had Bruthazmus use - or attempt to use - said item. The bugbear wasn’t always willing to cooperate, usually between the hours or dawn or dusk, which then required some motivation. This took the form of a well-worded geas or outright magical compulsion to puppet the bugbear. Either way, it resulted in Bruthazmas’ fur or favorite personal extremities suffering the effects of raw magical elements of fire, ice, and so on.
 
Then came the day Aflyn found the rare “Deck of the Gambler”, a deck of mystical cards invented by the infamous Izor the Mad from Binaket in A’qadia.
 
Research gave Aflyn too much information and mystical identification too little. So arch-mage set Bruthazmus to work. By the fourth card, there was a series of startling discoveries.
 
First, it truly was a deck of wonders. Each card produced generated miraculous magical events, changes or other spells. Brooms grew arms, legs and feet then trotted around. Candlesticks turned militant and tried to take over the workshop with magical flame jets.
 
Also, Bruthazmus’ intelligence - and wisdom - grew threefold. Suddenly, the bugbear had many opinions about his treatment. This ranged from back pay, or lack of proper healer access, to no longer having much interest in discovering if “elveses taste better than those who were not?”
 
The second discovery was that Izor wasn’t in the habit of letting just anyone shuffle his deck. Therefore, the Deck of the Gambler had its own enchanted security to prevent anyone from using the past three cards. In particular, the deck was haunted by the vengeful spirit of Izor himself.
 
The third was that Aflyn the Arch Mage was in fact, Aflyn the lich.
 
The battle between Izor and Aflyn was titanic. The two undead wizards battled throughout Aflyn’s small keep in the Mosswood. Air froze, grass burned, and the stone turned to pudding.
 
In the end, Bruthazmus settled the matter. Simply put, he tossed the Deck of the Gambler into a Sphere of the Void that Aflyn used as a waste bin. The area around the device exploded like a dozen fireballs as magic shattered.
 
The Void tried to destroy the cards, instead, it released all the miracles - or curses - at once. The miracles were sped off into the air, looking for a recipient. The curses, such as those that summoned a quartet of Gravewraiths, sought out the closest victims. Which, as Bruthazmus had been shot through a nearby wall only to be caught by the brooms, turned out to be Aflyn and Izor.
 
In minutes, the battle came to an end, leaving Izor the victor and Aflyn being drug off by the Gravewraiths.
 
Izor was exhausted, his mystical abilities nearly depleted. However, he saw Bruthazmus for the first time. Realizing what had happened, and proving even a lunatic undead wizard could have a good side, Izor patched up Bruthazmus then sent him on his way. Bruthazmus hadn’t been more than a few yards away when the undead wizard opened a portal, taking Aflyn’s keep - and everything in it - to another plane.
 
Which one? Bruthazmus doesn’t know. He thought it best to not ask.
 

He didn’t offer, and I wasn’t asking
— Bruthazmus in the Rusty Dragon Inn reluctantly telling the story of Izor

 
With a new lease and mental awareness on life, he set out for his old tribe. However, Bruthazmus found the hard way ‘one cannot go home again’. Especially when ‘home’ was comprised of furry, maniacal, murder-hobos half-worshiping a corrupting abyssal being. Bruthazmus managed to escape with his life and the fur on his back.
 
Not feeling very welcome, he returned to the Mosswood. Once there, he made his way to the Freecities along the Warden Road, such as Ravensmoor or Aquitaine. He found himself back in the Mosswood a few days later with a powerful need to soothe a few cuts, bruises, and magic burns.
 
After some fishing and deep consideration, Bruthazmus felt that ‘polite society’ might not be ready for a ‘polite bugbear’. He didn’t hold a grudge. After all, Bruthazmus did remember a lot about how he was before. Those were gruesome memories and certainly not something he was proud to talk about.

    Bad Day for a Bad Cow... hand...

    by Bruthazmus Kele

    The hell hand had gotten free of me. Scrambling out, he got a few steps away, saying that Rowtag and I weren't on his list of targets ... right now. I got the message, I was making it onto his list. He also said something about "between him and his ghost". Was he haunted? Not sure. I didn't want to bother Yathue, she was resting.
     
    There was a demon in that Hell Hand and it was riding him hard. We needed to rip that demon out... somehow. I asked Jessie for a rose wafer but he was out. So was Sephia. Lee? He was nowhere to be seen.
     
    Looks like I had to do this the hard way.
     
    Bracing my stance and Rowtag bracing his on my shoulder, I let the hell hand know where I stood. I told that demon it was time it was time to get outta town ... or drink honey. My hand flew down in the fastest draw I'd ever made. In one motion, I yanked that jar of holy honey out and charged the Hell Hand. He cut loose with a hex bolt that I took in the chest... but I kept going.
     
    Landing on the man, I slammed him to the ground, telling the demon to get the hell out. It was right then that Yathue appeared, pointing frantically to her holy symbol. Of course! It might could get the demon out! Holding the man down, I told Rowtag to grab the holy symbol. He did.
     
    I set the jar aside as Rowtag dropped the symbol of Dkar Po into my hand. At that point, I just kept talking to the demon. Telling it that it was time to get the hell out of town... one way or the other. The instant slapped the holy symbol against the man's chest there was an instant reaction. He shook, trying to yell as smoke poured out his ears. The same reaction when the Hesters took the rose wafers.
     
    It was the demon.
     
    Calling out to Jessie to grab a bottle, I held on. Jessie found two from my pack and put them to the hell hand's ears to catch the demon. Meanwhile his dire bee was warming up with some wax to seal the demon in. All we had to do was hold on. Once gone, we'll get the man some healing and I'll apologize.
     
    After a few seconds, Jessie had the demon bottled. The horns on the hell hand, the former hell hand, started cracking and falling off. It was a damn good thing the man was out cold otherwise, he'd feel that. He had taken a beating from me. I pulled out my kit and set to binding his wounds. Hopefully, this will get him stable.
     
    Looking around, there didn't seem to be much left. Jessie suggested we catching up with the rest. Right then I get a magical message in a bottle... an ominous one about if he dies that I promise to release the dead stormborn in Morodar. Too many problems at a time. First, I needed to get this ranch hand to someplace to heal. Second, track down the others - specifically Miro - and find out what's gone wrong.
     
    We headed south across the mess of weeds and growth Jessie kicked up and found some gray slime. Nothing alive just... gray slime. No idea where it came from or really what it was. Jessie grabbed rocks and other things to make a path we could walk on. That helped since I was carrying the unconscious ranch hand. There was some yelling off to the north but nothing that seemed bad. It was more cheering than anything else. Not something to deal with now. Jessie and I kept moving.
     
    Close to the barn, we found Miro and two more hands. Justice and Mystery Mullins. The Mullins had yet to be cured of their demon problem. Miro had promised them I could take care of it...mostly through getting Yathue to do it. I wasn't sure about how Miro was phrasing that, it made me a little uncomfortable. But I probably could use her holy symbol again. Probably with the staff, too. I did at least learn the name of the ranch hand I had clobbered. It was Faith Harrol. I had to get Faith to someplace to rest.
     
    Before the Mullins ran off to deal with a scared sheep, probably demon-possessed, I told them I'll come back to help them. I hoped I wouldn't have to fight them. That blast from Faith hurt like hell.
     
    The cat in the barn? It turned out to be a rendercoon. Damn rendercoon. At least it wasn't demon possessed. I took it as a positive. Once I tucked Faith in the barn, next to Ranger Horn actually, I talked the rendercoon into leaving the barn. Mostly by explaining the hell cows were gone. At least they looked gone to me. In any case, that rendercoon ran out of the barn. Which should make Chef, a young goblin lady, really anyone in the barn happy. That animal looked to have a mean streak a mile wide.
     
    My chest hurt. That hex bolt burned bad. I knew I had to do something about it soon.
     
    Outside the barn, Jessie waved us over. He had a couple of bottles we could use for the demon trapping. Mystery pointed out the sheep. Yep, demon possessed and ticked off. Jessie and the others kept shooting at it, I ambushed it and slapped Yathue's symbol against the sheep. The demon instantly started pouring out.
     
    But the demon in Mystery took her all the way over and unloaded against Justice Mullins at that moment. Thinking back, it made sense. The demon was watching me do that and knew it was next. As the demon left the sheep, it shrank back to what it should be. A sheep. Scared but a sheep. Jessie raced off back to the others. A fight had broken out with Mystery and Justice wasn't far behind.
     
    Talking softly to it, I quickly stripped the armor off the sheep to get it feeling back to 'normal'. But the problems hadn't solved themselves. It looked like a stand off with the Mullins. Giving the sheep a pet or two, I slipped off and charged the Mullins. Slamming into them from behind, I held them down while Yathue did her work. Jessie caught the demons that boiled out.
     
    I was exhausted. In pain and exhausted. But there was more work to do.
     
    The Mullins I escorted to the barn. They could get their head together and check on Faith. I got some of the rollups Chef had been making, then stepped out of the barn to look for more hell hands or this Ghost person. I found no sign after looking around the barn. At least I had time to bandage up that burn from the hex blast.
     
    At the barn I found Lee Chung trying to move the abyssal weapons, which were aggravating some curse he had caught. I tried to figure a way to move them, but Yathue shooed me away. I gave the others some idea how to move them and agreed with Miro. They needed to be tossed into volcano.
     
    That left Ghost. I searched the bunkhouse with Miro. He showed me where he left Ghost, or what he thought was Ghost. I found sign of everything but her. Where ever she was, she wasn't here. Jesse helped Chica, Princess and the others back to the bunkhouse. We stayed there for the night. It was some rest. Enough to keep going the next day.
     
    There was a lot of rebuilding to do, both with the ranches and farms.
     
    After that? I needed to take Yathue back home. Then get me home.

    Giving 'em the Ol' Run Around

    Evening of Grolm 7, 578 ... Don't know where we're going but there's no use in bein' late. My idea, such as it was, to check in on the aminals on Branby farm then maybe collect the others to wander north to have a talk with the dryad had a whole bu...

    Yonderin' About Town

    Afternoon of Grolm 7, 578 ... After wrangling a herd of devil-possessed cows, it turns out the real work was waiting to bubble up. The driver and guard of the mail coach were busy sorting out the mail - though not too busy to offer up a round of dri...

    A Little Bit of Deductifyin'

    Grune 7, 578 The town was so calm, I wanted to check for a pulse. Heading into the General Store, we met the mayor who also worked at the General Store. A human named Jaeke Blaze. Talkative and friendly. Which helped. Feathers and I headed in and s...

    How to stop two stampedes of hell-bovines? Lasso the lead one, jump on its back, and turn one stampede into the other! Best plan I had all day!

    05:53 am - 26.04.2020

    The ghost elven lady patted me on the cheek. Not sure how I feel about that. Leaves me feeling a little uncomfortable in a manly bugbear sort of way...

    03:19 am - 26.04.2020

    I looked for tracks, found the angry ghost of a elven woman. That's a hell of thing.

    Ok, so hopefully, what we don't know about the enchanted fireplace poker won't set us on fire...

    An enchanted fire poker? Well, not the strangest thing I've seen all day.

    12:28 am - 26.04.2020

    Nothing like hearing about a cemetery appearing after a storm complete with its own bodies to make you know you're on the right track. Probably a bad track, but I'm not one to judge such things.

    A Storm and a Half

    The storm was like a punch to the jaw, almost blowing the gray off Aquitaine's stone walls. Everyone took part and pitched in to keep things bolted down. It mostly worked and our little Stormborn halfling did the most keeping the lightning off most thi...

    05:01 am - 12.04.2020

    I will say ... being attacked by a demonic cow wielding a magic halberd is probably the most excitement I've had all week. And that counts helping the locals deal with a hurricane!

    03:51 am - 12.04.2020

    Minstrels are always singing about the majestic waves of grass on the Longgrass plains ... they never tell you about the carnivorous unicorn herds, spinerazor boar packs, ravenous vampiric cabbage tumbleeds, and now ... Ika damned demonic cows carrying halberds. Bards ... what can you do?

    03:49 am - 12.04.2020

    Well, a dead demonic cow wasn't enough ... so it looked like they thought "Monk, its what's for dinner"

    03:40 am - 12.04.2020

    Cabbages rolling like tumbleweeds through the grass ... and draining blood from a dead body? Vampiric vegetables? Undead? Maybe? Ika's Blessed Bandages, tomatoes grow better with some fresh blood and meat. I'm not one to judge.

    03:37 am - 12.04.2020

    Root and acorn! That stormborn halfling and that kobold ... they're gonna be the death of someone if not themselves.

    01:12 am - 12.04.2020

    Nothing like finding a rabbit ear ... that has been torn off and had the blood squeezed out of it ... to be a clear sign of something really went wrong with the folks you're sent to find.

    12:22 am - 12.04.2020

    Corrupt treants? Hope not. I hope they're just out of sorts. Corrupt means we might have to take out their Heart Tree. That's a pain I rather not take on.

    11:09 pm - 11.04.2020

    I swear by Ika ... Stormborn halfling sorcerers ... they got a mind like a circus

    Hi! I'm CB Ash - also known as Kummer Wolfe. To be fair, I spend my days going in several directions at once from software architect, inventor, and UX designer to science fiction and fantasy writer, Game Master, and worldbuilder on World Anvil!   In short, I'm a creative storyteller!   As you might guess, the day job is the long-time software architect / ux designer/inventor part. The rest is the 'night job'.   Aside from that, I'm working on a few stories and RPG settings, one of which is in my world 'Summerdark', another in Tales of Justice, Hoist the Colors, and some serial fiction in Windtracer! (and quite a few more!)   Beyond that, I'm either working on one of my github projects or web component architecture.   Oh, I'm also on Substack! Here! https://kummerwolfe.substack.com/   ... and I wouldn't turn down a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/cbash   ... and feel free to stop by my Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/cb_ash)!   And some words of wisdom that I re-read from time to time...  

    What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.

    — Jane Goodall
     
    I would stand and look out over the roofs of Paris and think, 'Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now. All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.'

    — Ernest Hemingway
