Description[]
"I am Cumulous Rocks. I am a monk of the Spinning Star. And I, as a cloud of gas, quietly floated into this area and landed on this boat." ― Zac Oyama
Cumulous Rocks is a tall cotton candy monk with light blue skin, crazy pink hair, and hollowed out eyes. He wears a Lapis Lazuli necklace of an eye, which is a symbol of Archmage Lazuli.
Initially, he is referred to as a cousin of Amethar Rocks. Later, it is clarified that he is a "distant" cousin, and "not even a first cousin".
He is very quick to kill both people and animals, at least in part to "feed" The Hungry One, which he gains his power from. While generally appearing stoic, he often cries over magic items, especially those that belonged to the Rocks sisters.
He wields Fluffwind, the Spunsugar Staff.
Background[]
Cumulous was "created" and "molded" by Archmage Lazuli, who started the Order of the Spinning Star. On Sir Theobald Gumbar's first day as a knight, Theo watched as Lazuli sent Cumulous away to deliver something to the Monastery of the Spinning Star.
Sometime later, between 1185-1190, before the start of the Ravening War, he disappeared. When Candia went to war with the rest of the Concord, he was able to return through magic "not entirely of [his] own".
History[]
Deep Bleu Sea[]
As House Bleu marauders notice Jet Rocks on the crows nest and attempts to warn the archers of her presence, a puff of roiling red fog floats across the sea. The fog moves over one of the smaller rowboats, and Cumulous Rocks suddenly reconstitutes aboard. Using Fluffwind, he whirlwind-stances the marauders and knocks them all overboard. Seeing the Colby sinking further into the sea, the marauders begin to abandon ship and return to their rowboat. The front marauder fires a shot at Cumulous, but he deflects it back, injuring the assailant. The other marauders hook onto Cumulous's small boat to drag it closer to them. He leaps into the boat and and in a flurry with his staff he kills one of the marauders.
Behind him in the small boat, Jet is finally able to stabilize Primsy having left the marauder attack to Theobald and Annabelle. Theobald shoves the guy overboard and jumps down to join Cumulous in attacking the rowboat marauders. The Colby sinks further into sea causing waves to rock the smaller boats. Theobald, Jet, and Annabelle fall into the sea. Amethar sees the trouble his family is in and jumps back onto the Colby and gets the last crew member to swing the ship towards the smaller boats. Theobald is able to grab onto the ship's mast and burst out of the sea into the rowboat, taking an attack meant for Cumulous. Cumulous resumes attacking the marauders.
The Colby sinks further downwards but it is not able to drag Amethar under the waves. Amethar sees Ruby go overboard and, unable to save her, he joins the attack on the rowboat. Flying into a rage, he starts throwing men overboard into the mast of the other ship, giving Ruby the chance to get to safety. Jet jumps onto the rowboat and sneak-attacks the marauders. Annabelle is finally able to climb to safety aboard and she take the wheel from Liam. In the distance they see the farthest House Bleu marauder ship sail away without a captain.
Theobald, Jet, Amethar, and Cumulous are left with two marauders who promptly kneel and surrender. Cumulous kills one of the marauders and Jet kills the other. Primsy is brought onto the rowboat with the group, and they all board the House Bleu marauder ship.
Safe Harbor[]
La Fondue sails in through a storm heading towards open sea. With most of the Cheddar sailors down the Rock family have to help sail the ship with Captain Annabelle who has lashed herself to the helm. As the storm passes the group are able to go below deck to rest. Having fought that morning in the cathedral and then on the Colby most of the group passes out due to exhaustion. Cumulous and Theobald stay up conversing about the monks and bonding over their mutual connection to Lazuli.
They awaken the next morning to the storm gone and the Cheddar crew gathered on deck for the funeral at sea for their fallen comrade with Annabelle presiding over. Afterwards Primsy emerges from below decks and invites the Royal House of Rocks to a parley in the captains quarters. There they tell Annabelle and Primsy the events that happened in the cathedral and what events led to Amethar's breaking his oath of marriage.hey also divulge to Annabelle and Primsy that Amethar was named the sucessor to the Concordant Emperor.
With in their down time as they voyage to the Dairy Islands Jet, Ruby, and Theobald research the Ramsian Doctrine is a belief concerning how the world ends. It says that the final destruction of The Hungry One by the Bulb and final salvation of all souls cannot occur till The Hungry one devours the world and their are certain souls that are delicious and health and other souls that are junk food (a curse word). It is the presence of these latter souls that is preventing the Hungry One from devouring the world and until those people are removed the final salvation cannot happen. Cumulous tells only the House of Rock members that Candia's are not normally magical, it is a curated magic from the Sugar Plum Fairy. The church knows that their power comes from others not having magic. During this conversation Ruby shocks Theo and Cumulous with the revelation that she sees Lazuli outside of her death vision.
La Fondue arrives to to the Dairy Island and continue sailing to the Cola River and arrive at Port Syrup. at the port are three sunken imperial warships. Annabelle and runs down a banner of House Cheddar with a smaller banner of House Rocks flying underneath. As they arrive at the harbor they see Manta Ray Jack and Sire Morris Brie. Amethar and Manta Ray Jack embrace and Manta Ray tells them of his escape with Sir Morris and how they managed to escape borderline and get word to Candia with the help of Calroy but unfortunately Lord and Lady Swirly were no so fortunate. For now Calroy and the Queen are holding Candia but Jawbreaker is in a tight spot. No Concordant Emperor has been named and The Pontifex will not hold a Concordian Council till Candia is brought back into the fold. Till then she will be stewarding the Concord. Liam accidentally insults Sir Morris Brie when trying to compliment him who challenges him to a duel the ground of a morning field to which the group makes a large joke about how hot that sounds and they move on.
In the port the group is met with a royal welcome but the church bells that normally would ring do not. A report is given that there is violence in the mountains from with marauders, imperial attacks on House Jawbreaker, and forty imperial soldiers were in a passage with their blood smeared on the frosty mountainside saying "Long live the queen." There is also a notice of a call to musters for all various banner lords and vassals to report to the Castle Candy because a huge army is moving north from Comida cross the Cola River and attack Castle Candy.
Ruby communes with Lazuli via a mirror and conveys to the group that if they go straight mountains it will be worthless but if they go to Castle Candy their is a chance to take the army's and go north before heading back south to face off with the invading armies. Annabelle and Primsy bid farewell to the House of Rock as the sail back to Lacramor to muster the Dairy Islands and ensure the seas are not safe for any ship aiming for Candia. Sir Morris Brie stays to hold down the port while Manta Ray takes the group on the Babybel ship to Castle Candy. On the ship Liam attempts to flirt with Cumulous at his own prompting. It goes terribly but Cumulous is just at charisma deficient and approves. We find that all of these phases Liam has been using is based off what his 35 parents have said around him.
They arrive to Castle Candy at 4 in the morning. Ruby and Jet get tattoos from Manta Ray. The group walk up to Castle Candy and Theobald not so casually announces them to Limon. Limon hops off the wall and meets the group below. Things with Limon get dark but they are saved by the gate suddenly lowering. Queen Carmelinda sweeps the Jet and Ruby into an embrace. She reassures them that she is just happy to have them back safely. Theobald is commanded to take the princesses and prince Liam inside. Calroy runs out while pulling on his war pants. Calroy regards Cumulous with suspicion and the group has to inform them that Lapin sacrificed himself to save them. When the group minus Theobald and Amethar try to steal away the Queen puts her foot down trapping them in caramel and has them all go inside to get freshened up. The group notice Theo send a private message to the queen who only response with "Noted." Amethar follows Carmelinda to her chambers to confront him. The rest of the group go with Ruby to place the last message of Lapin under the broken tea cup at the stone statues in a makeshift funeral. Liam goes and finds a peppermint heart seed and places it next to the tea cup for Preston while Cumulous sits down to meditate at the statue. Cumulous stays to meditate and the rest returns to the castle. The stones begin to glow and the sugar plum fairy appears trying to make herself small and cute though underneath she is large and formidable. The sugar plum fairy asks Cumulous to bring the royal family to the Great Stone Mountain in order to save Candia's magic through this is not what Lazuli wanted it would be quicker in exchange she would gift him a boon. Cumulous decides to think on this offer. Their chat is cut short after Cumulous hears shouting from the castle and runs off to help. The Sugar Plum Fairy vanishes.
