Group 2

Scout comes out into the open and approaches the guards. He says, "Is there something I can help you with?"

Tarrio, although intoxicated, still recognizes Simon's advances, and regards the cat man with both amusement and surprise. He seems a little put off guard at first and looks to Lolly uncomfortably, but then cracks a grin and begins to play along. "Lolly, it would appear our affectionate friend has us a little mixed up. Yes sir, the distractingly attractive female I believe you were looking for is over there!"

As Lolly and Belonda share a laugh at Tarrio's plight, Lolly responds, "I take on enough attention during your card games. While I don't mind those men ogling me while you fleece them, I think tonight the well-deserved attention belongs to you!"

Even Durst notices and joins in the teasing despite being busy bartending, as he sets two mugs of ale on the table. "Ho ho! A round of ales on the house for the two lovebirds!"[b] As he walks away, you just barely catch him muttering under his breath. [b]"Although to be honest I should be paying you to drink this sewer water that Zweisher puts out, I swear he'll be the death of good alcohol in this city!"

"Aaw. He'sh cuute. Ish it cause im too pretty an yer afraid a me? Er are ya not confident in ya self? If ish dat, I ken take care of evry thin."

He sets his head on the table and looks back up again quickly as if he has a sudden revelation, looking to Lolly.
"Wait, he'sh not yours, is e? I don want to shteal him from you. You'sh would be cute tagever..."
He slides his head back down on the table as he says this.


Group 2

Veilwar let Jack and Scout talk to the 2 men while he watches from the shadows ready to intervene should it become necessary.

Sergei rubs his bald head, watching the apparent out-takes from the cat-man... then polishes off another plate of food. The big man had a gargantuan stomach when it came to delicious foods. On the other hand, he did finally push his table-ware away to show that he was finished. I'll go with Sergei not hearing about the alcohol raid, since he seemed to be making efforts to keep it quiet :)


Group 1 - In the Tavern
Sergei actually could've easily heard everything Durst said to Zathyl, being at the same table.
Before Lolly or Tarrio can get in a word, Belonda jumps in to anwer Simon, completely deadpan. "Actually we engaged." After a few seconds of silence, Tarrio, Lolly, and Belonda all burst into laughter at this comment. Lolly chimes in, barely able to contain her laughter as she speaks, "Yes, sadly for you these two are set to get married tomorrow night."

"That's right!" Tarrio shouts, playing along. "Durst! More ale in celebration!" Unfortunately for him, Durst is still at the table with Zathyl and Sergei.

Group 2 - Watching the Wagons
Aah! I completely forgot that Flying Jack was still at the wagons, terribly sorry.
The guards do a double take at this strange little wooden man backed up by a large half-orc. One guard is still wholely unable to speak when the other breaks in. "Do you, um, own all this? What I mean sir, is are you selling something? You're taking up an awful lot of space and I hate if market traffic got clogged because of it, sir."

Sergei also joins in the laughter, uncertain whether they are joking, or they really are engaged. But the big guy is nothing if unable to laugh at a joke he doesn't completely understand. After all, both sides of the coin are pretty funny. It was a shame if Lolly was indeed taken, however.

"Aw. Im shorry. He'sh yours. Here have mine."

He slides the drink Durst put in front of him earlier over to her.

He's not about to tell anyone, but he's aware of what's going on. Of course if he plays along, he can turn down the drink and play if off too.

"I thinks we need ta go on sooner later. Gosh a big show tamarah."

Group 1 - In the Tavern

Realizing Zathyl heard him, Durst pauses before spitting out his next words in disgust. "Brin Zweisher." In an instant he is next to Zathyl, completely ignoring all other patrons in the tavern. "As the maker of the excellent, if I do say so myself, Hammerhand Whiskey, I'm of course a member of the Brewers and Distillers Guild. Our current president, Ayn Vinewood, could hardly be called a real leader, as he's let a feud boil up as two party's jocky for leadership, threatening to split the guild in two. On one side are the Stoneheart Mountain Distillers, a group of dwarves from the Stoneheart who tragically lost their clan, but know how to make some damn fine liquors. On the other side is Brin Zwiesher and his brewery - you won't find a barkeeper in town who actually likes his beers, but they're cheap enough to be popular. By this point he's bullied and cajoled just about every taven in town into carrying his wares, and with the rest of the brewers at his back there's little anyone can do to stop him. I've even heard he was responsible for a raid on the Stoneheart Distillery, but both the dwarves and Brin are silent on the matter." Durst let's his words taper off as he finishes his speech then glances around to make sure no unwanted ears heard him.

Wow... maybe I should have gotten up earlier...

Zathyl frowns slighly when Durst mentions the dwarves losing their clan and gets a contemplative look on his face after Durst is done explaining the situation. The snakeman finally drinks the other shot that was handed to him and sits up straighter.

"So... you are saying that this man forces his product on others and is attacking his competition... I'm curious why the dwarves are keeping it to themselves... is there any reason for them not to speak up?"

Zathyl then tries to wave the attention of his two friends into the conversation and Slatha slithers over to Sergei's side of the table to draw his attention toward Zathyl.


"Bit too much milk for you cat man?" Tarrio says this very lightly, not intending (as far as you can tell) to cause any offense. "You are certainly free to go but we've got more celebrating to do don't we now?"

The night has grown very late by this point.

Group 2

Scout gestures towards Flying Jack as he replies to the guard, "My friend and I are performers with the circus that you see before you. We have just arrived here from the Empire. As this is a small circus we all perform many different tasks, and for all practical purposes you could say we are all part owners of this circus. The other members of the circus are at one of the taverns."

"Regardless of all that, we are aware that we could interfere with traffic and we are willing to make minor adjustments as needed."

Sergei would wait for the answer to Zathyl's question, as he stood to get ready to go. It was very late, and there was a show to do tomorrow.

"Hey now. I ken drink as much as I like, but if we don' get up tamarah, ain't nobody gettin any money."

He points the bottle of wine he bought at Tarrio.

"Jus' cause you gettin married don't mean- hey! You should let me ficiate it. We ken make it part a dah show."

He takes a swig from his bottle before trying to wrestle the cork back in to no avail.

"Shnakey, be a dear an fix at fer me plz."

He stands up and pulls a slip of paper out of the front of his shirt.

"I hev payed fer muh drinks. Thenk you fer yer hospitalty and fer gettin us the space in da market fer tamarah. Here'sh a ticket on ush. Ya should come shee da show."

He slides the ticket over the table to Durst.


"Now when I say they've been attacked, that's just rumors - neither the dwarves nor Zwiesher have spoken up. Even if they were attacked the Stoneheart Distillery is built like a fortress; not to mention Gowan McKean, their leader, is a veteran soldier himself." Standing, he begins clearing the table and resuming his duties as barkeep. "I've got to get back to work, but you can see the Distillery for yourself if you head over to the Outer Quarter. And remember, Stoneheart Mountain Ale beats out Zwiesher's any day." As he leaves, he picks up Simon's ticket and tucks it into his apron.

Once out in the open air you return to the wagons to find Jack and Scout speaking with two of what you assume to be city guards. One of them jumps at the strange group approaching and pokes the other. "Ah, you must be the rest of this circus we've been hearing about. You aren't all planning on sleeping in these here tent's are you? Normally that'd be against vagrancy laws." The other guard finally speaks up at this point. "However, owing to the fact that we do love a good circus, we could maybe let it slide this one time, but you'd have to be up before dawn. If you want to sleep in any later you'll need to find proper lodgings. At this hour, Nightgate Inn over by the west gate is probably your best bet, although the stables at the Felled Ogre are much cheaper." The Wanderer's smile at this, and seem to have to problem with the early waking time, despite the fact that it wouldn't quite result in a full night's sleep.

"Ah. The stables do look comfortable. Has been long time since Sergei is rolling in hay!" the big man laughs as he comes closer, though the laugh is one of his 'I'm not really joking, just being friendly' laughs. He's left his coat on the wagon, and his earthbreaker wrapped in some tarp in the same location. "Good evening, officers!"


Golemnoid Rogue 2 | HP 18/18 | AC 16, T 14, FF 13 | CMD 15 | F +1, R+6, W +1 | Init +5 | Senses DV 120 ft | Percep +9

Scout is somewhat relieved that they aren't going to have to move the wagons. As he doesn't need to sleep he's not overly worried about the local regulations on sleeping in tents. Though the rule does strike him as silly in the current context.

"Thank you for your generosity and your suggestions. We will try not to cause any undo trouble in the future."

If the guards start to leave, Zathyl politely waves them goodnight and turns to the group.

"So... What kind of accommodations do we wish to have tonight? I'm comfortable where ever."

Also if he senses that Simon is truly drunk he helps him stay standing with a steadying arm. Because that's what a best bud would do.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14? Its not like I am seeing if he is lying to me. I know about some of his shenanigans and I just want to see how convincing he is if he truly isn't drunk... No offense Simon.


Veilwar, being comfortable in any dark place, finds a corner and beds down for the night, well out of sight.

"I bid you all a good night. I hope we are all ready for the show tomorrow!'

1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26+1 if you think I'm pretty. ;P Though, Zathyl knows him well, and his seen him pull this trick several times before. He saw that he didn't drink that much and knows about how much it takes to do that to him, as he's seen that before too. XD He would know what he's doing. :)

The one with long black hair and flowy clothes approaches the guards on his(her?) own two feet, not stumbling as he was before they left. Others may assume he's sobering up a bit and the authorities prompted him to straighten up.

"Thank you officers."

He gives them a casual salute and a pretty smile.

"We appreciate your kindness and understanding. I'd like to offer you something in exchange."

He tugs the collar of his shirt and removes the necklace he has on, an inch wide ring with a pencil width hole in the middle. It's made of mood stone material, fading from pink to blue as it pulls away from the heat of his chest.

"Maybe you might have something I could take care of for you? Something your lucky love might not be fond of, smoking or gambling? Maybe you'd like to be a bit more charming? Maybe a bit more respected by the boss? Five minutes and you could be so much happier with your life. Free of charge for the men in uniform. Or maybe you'd just like to see the show for a trifle less tomorrow?"

His (her?) voice dips into a friendly purr.

Sergei doesn't stop laughing, in a rich baritone, as the cat hops right back into another act... charming the pants off of these guards, or getting sent to jail for the night. Either way, probably a free room. He turns around and heads to the ogre to rent a stable to share with the horses, trusting the puppet to watch over everything.


The guards look at Simon, puzzled. "Do you do... fortune telling... or detective work... or... I'm really not sure to be honest."

"I dunno what he's peddling but he can sign me up," the other guard adds excitedly. "Unless its something illegal? You're not doing illegal things are you? Regardless, you're not troubling us a bit, although the owner of the Six Candles might find a circus suddenly appearing in front of his establishment a bit... gaudy?"

+++

Back at the Felled Ogre, Durst regards Sergei's request for a stable with bewilderment and apologizes profusely for not having a room available for the performers. In place of a room he offers to stable the horses (and anyone else) for free.

Sergei shrugs. Good business was good business. He would definitely point customers this way! "There is being no need to apologize, free is much better than most stables! Sergei thanks you much, good sir!" He then proceeds to head back outside and inform the others, calling over as he moves in that direction. "Good news! The ogre is having space for the horses and for any of us in the stables!" He begins to unhitch the horses to lead them to the stables.

"No, no!"

He waves his hand and gives a mellifluous laugh.

"I would never. Especially not with such well guarded streets. In our show I'm a dancer and I sing a bit, but on the side I'm a practicing Hypnotist. I can help you be happier on a subconscious level."

He waves a pendulum just a bit, and it's one of those things it's hard to take your eyes off of.

"No magic guarantee. Unless of course you'd like the more powerful stuff, but that's entirely up to you. Wouldn't break the law, on my life."

He raises a hand and uses the other to cross his heart.

"If you'd like to step into my tent for a moment, we can see what kind of services you'd like me to provide."

(S)He purrs(not literally) and motions to the purple tent.

Well, where ever we are sleeping, Zathyl wishes to go to bed so he's not exhausted tomorrow.

Zathyl chuckles and shakes his head sleightly as he goes to bed.


One of the guards begins to step towards Simon's tent when the other grabs him by the collar and pulls him back. "Not now! We're on duty, remember?"[b] As the interested guard walks/gets dragged away, he shouts, [b]"Hope your still open for business tomorrow morning! I will take you up on that offer!".

With that morning fast approaching, you quickly drift into sleep, be it in the tents or stables.

Sunrise seems to come all to quickly, for when Scout wakes you the heavy hand of fatigue begins to slip it fingers around you. (Scout, I'm assuming you'd wake the party to save us time, post otherwise if this is not the case and we'll rewind and go from there)

Everyone who attended the Felled Ogre is fatigued.

Tarrio groggily stumbles out from wherever he had been sleeping, rubbing his eyes mostly for effect as he does so. "This is no way for a circus to look on it's grand premier, now! Don't worry, your friend Tarrio has just the thing. Lolly! Belonda!" The three Wanderers then sleepily stumble back towards the direction of the main gate.

By the time you've completed your various morning routines, Tarrio, Lolly, and Belonda are back, carrying trays of some steaming, pleasant-smelling beverage. "Brace yourselves friends, for I, Tarrio, am about to reveal one of Tent City's greatest secrets. Well, it's not really a secret, in fact it's quite popular, but you get the point. Straight from the Ground Bean, it's the ultimate pick-me-up, a guaranteed hangover cure, and I know a guy who knows a guy who says that this drink definitely extended his lifespan. It's the one and only - cabb'e!" This "cabb'e" is freely distributed to anyone who wants it, it's strange almost earthy aroma having a soothing effect on those who are tired.

For anyone who drinks the cabb'e::
The hot brown liquid goes down wells and by the time you've finished it you feel quite alert. You are no longer fatigued.

Sergei had spent the morning preparing the area for their show, moving things about, and helping scout to do any of the heavier-lifting things with the horses (given how disastrous his size could be for strength-intensive tasks that need to be completed quickly).

Sergei drinks his with Gusto... then acknowledges a moment later, "Sergei is thinking it would be much better with milk! Maybe sugar. Sergei will try some later, perhaps. Thank you, tiny new friends! And Belonda!" he beams at them all.

I have no problem with Scout having been used as an "alarm clock". :-) It just makes sense.

Scout says, "Thanks for the help Sergei."

The heavy work having been done, Scout changes into his performing outfit.

Zathyl gets up and stretches. It's apparent to everybody his great flexibility as he does so. After that he will indeed accept the drink and start on a short breakfast for everyone.

"Any requests for this morning. We got some perishables left from yesterday that we need to use up."

"I'll be setting up for the show in the morning, but feel free to come by after and I'll help you out."

He smiles and waves to the guards as they leave.

The next morning, Simon will help cook, not being terribly helpful at lifting things.
10 + 2 = 12 Aid

Once things are set up, he'll add finishing touches to the stage to make it look nice.

He accepts the drink and practically bristles all over after he downs it.

"Sweet lady, that is foul."

Jack is tough enough, and has no interest in taking drugs from strangers. But he does what he can to keep setting things up.


Now that the Circus holds the distinction of being one of the best fed traveling shows in Bard's Gate thanks to Zathyl's cooking - the tent's are up - the cabb'e is drunk - the Grand Plaza has begun to fill in with the usual booths, travelers, and shoppers. Anyone with an eye to the rest of the plaza would notice that this is primarily a trader's market - everything from metals and uncut gemstones to cotton and wool changes hands here. At the moment there doesn't seem to be any casual shoppers here, mainly regulars who trade these raw materials for a living.

At one booth a group of Tent City barbarians can be seen in a loud and very muddled up exchange with a rather flustered trader. One of them spots the Circus however and as soon as he points your tents out to his companions they begin to head over, much to the trader's relief. Apparently these are some fans from last show, as they start a very unsynchronized round of chanting - "Snake man! Snake man!"

"Looks like we've already got the beginnings of a crowd forming," Tarrio says with a smile. He points to the simple but elegant facade of the nearest building. "The real prize is in there however. The Inn of Six Candles. If we can draw a crowd from inside that fortress of opulence we'll stand to make some real profit. Of course Durst'll send some customers our way as well, and if word gets round at Helman's Bar that there's a circus nearby we should pull some more. I dunno if you've got a new game plan for today, but I'd be much obliged if I could borrow a small space for some cards and other games of skill."

Lolly scoffs at the mention of skill and Belonda speaks to both of them. "Let us prepare my 'tiny friends," she says in a nod towards Sergei. "The circus is in town."

Scout starts juggling some of his brightly colored clubs for a bit of a warm up routine. As he does so he says, "So, how do we want to arrange our acts? Any special order?"

"Sergei should go near middle, Sergei is main attraction, after all." he suggests as he beams at Scout, "Sergei just kidding, Sergei should go near act with animal handler. Sergei will do horse trick. Just lead horse onto stage for Sergei, and Sergei will get him off stage after. Best to have lots of things up for Sergei to move. Perhaps can even make it act involving 'cleaning up the stage' as if show is over?"

Scout says, "I don't know about that. If people think the show is over they may start to leave. However, if you really want to pick a horse up, I could lead one on stage and say it has a problem with its hoof. You could then lift the horse up so I could get a good look at its hoof and pretend to work on it."

"Mayhaps I should accompany you to the six candles inn. I'm rather persuasive. And if I accompany you we could let our happy couple go together."

He makes a suggestion to Lolly before turning to give a wink and smile to Tarrio, as he kids him.

"Ya, better to be safe than sorry around new folk, right?"

Zathyl also smiles at the snakeman chant and gives them a polite wave.


Lolly smiles at Simon's suggestion but then shakes her head. "Tarrio's been telling me how much he's wanted to see the inside of the Six Candles, I think it'd be best if you two go together and Belonda and I --"

"Actually," Tarrio says, cutting Lolly off. He pauses a moment in thought and then continues. "I like Simon's suggestion better. You two take the Six Candles, Belonda and I hit Helman's."

Belonda looks from Simon to Lolly to Tarrio and then raises one eyebrow. You've never seen her make this expression before.

Knowledge(eyebrow raises) DC 15:
The raise seems extremely practiced, as if Belonda had been saving it for this very moment.

Alas, can't get above 10 on an untrained knowledge check.


You'll never know the true meaning of the eyebrow raise!

Please don't remind Zathyl about his lack of eyebrows.... he is already self conscious about it as it is.... :(

Sergei seems suddenly dumbfounded. He looks between the two, back and forth. "You are really getting married, or was pretend joke?"

To those who knew Sergei, they could tell that there was a bit of urgency in his voice, even though he was trying to keep it out. Which was strange for the big man!
