Puddle Jumper

Mobility spell King Rust possesses, one of the crawler-derived abilities in his stolen spellbook.

Story so far

Donut's Size-Up readout on King Rust ends with an indignant flourish: he has Protective Shell at level 15, plus Tripper and Puddle Jumper. "What a copydog." Tipid attributes the whole grab-bag to a necklace of Indelible Woe, which swaps the wearer's spells for those of crawler targets—and takes one of their five highest if the target dies.

Role

Stolen crawler mobility spell in the orc king's arsenal.

Relationships

King Rust — Has it in his spell list.
Tripper — Listed alongside it.
