Please do help yourself, Kara. You are a feast enough for my eyes. you lok as graceful as ever this morning.

Lebraerio is a little paler at the mention of eating dead squirrels, but remains curtuous.

Any adventure with you by my side will be interesting, mylady.

"Hello!" Says the tall 6'1" elven woman. "I am Rilia. I am a chosen hetaira of Calistria and glad to make your acquaintances."

She leans down and gives both of her companions a peck on the cheek, incidentally giving both a good view of the cleavage struggling to free itself from beneath her snakeskin-tight, metal-studded silk-filigreed leather outfit. She takes a seat too close to Kara and stares into both her companion's faces with eyes the color of smoldering candles. "Your man is correct. You are quite fetching." There's an uncomfortable intensity to her words, but a moment later it is gone and all is light and airy. "I didn't see Archimeles's name in the guest book. Did he not arrive with you?"

Well, it seems I shall have some competition in the flirting shamelessly field.

No stranger to courtly introductions, Kara rises and returns the two-cheek kiss.

I am sure the pleasure of making your acquaintance is the superior, and your graciousness rivals even your statuesque beauty.

I wonder if she fancies girls as well?

As for my companion, we are not romantically conjoined, but a girl could certainly do worse, don't you think?

Kara takes Rilia's arm (if allowed) and gestures to the table to join in breakfast.

Sadly, I am informed that Archimeles had a pressing engagement with an epic poem requiring metaphysical analysis and will not be able to join us. Pray tell, from whence do you come? Are all those of your kind so comely and graceful?

Unlike poor Lebraerio, Lizbeth thoroughly enjoyed her time at sea, looking perfectly at home as she assisted the crew with the rigging and sails, chatting at all hours with the crew and dicing with them happily. The Vishkanya had changed a little since her time in Absalom, there seemed something more Feral in her look, baggy trousers and bandages binding her chest baring her midriff.

A late riser as ever, Lizbeth joined her companions late for breakfast her orange mane unbrushed and her slightly slitted eyes showing that she was worse for wear after a night's carousing. The Pirate wore no shoes and threw herself into an empty chair near Leb and patted him friendly on the back, eyeing the new comer.

"Such a terrible shame the Old Man had a social debate! The meeting of the greatest of minds ha! Bet he had to to pay to get in somewhere near the back!" She jokes with Kara, reaching over and taking piece of sweet bread, tearing it between perfect teeth.

"So a festival eh? Anyone know what it is in aid of? I'm Lizbeth by the way pleased ta meetcha!"


Lebraerio knows, that it is none other than the semi-legendary Umbra Carnival, that has come to Ilsurian! It is a travelling Varisian circus featuring strange and exotic beasts, scandalous performances, games of chance, and all the other fun of a traveling fair.

A hooded dwarf, who was standing a few feet away from the table this whole time, takes out a note from his pocket, looks at it and examines the group.

"So, you must be the Pathfinders," he says happily as he approaches the group and removes his hood.

The face revealed is that of a relatively young dwarf, with short black hair, a long, curly beard, and a few scars around his cheek and forehead. His eyes glint as he looks around at the curious bunch sitting at the table.

"I am Balfour Blackstone, a refugee from Cheliax. I was told there would be a group of adventurers in here today," he says as he eyes each one of the Pathfinders.

Balfour grabs a chair next to Lizbeth and chuckles. "Well, I guess you are my new friends, if you'll accept me. Are you ready for the festival?"

Lizbeth looks sideways towards the new comer, standing fairly nervously and looking at a note in his hand. Ahh the newcomer! How fascinating! Studying him as he sits down, the lithe woman stretches back, eating more of the local delicacies on offer.

"Welcome and well met! Don't mind us, we have been hanging around each other for a bit and Kara could never decide between Leb and Archimeles! Anyone seen the short gray one about!"

The investigator eagle eyes can't miss the beautiful elf's cleavage
a blind man in a lighless cave couldn't miss it!(except it wouldn't be with his eyes, of course..)
and Lebraerio blushes, for the first time, getting his chair closer to the table.

Quote:

Lebraerio nearly chokes on his glass.

He takes some time to regain his composure, and seems happy that the girls take turns mocking the absent-minded Archimeles.

Quote:
"So a festival eh? Anyone know what it is in aid of?

It's the Umbra Carnival, a well known travelling Varisian circus, with all the fun you could expect: exotic beasts of various places, games and tricks, dancers and entertainers.. You should enjoy it,Lizbeth.

Lebraerio was ready to get up to shake hands with the dwarf newcomer, but suddenly he changes his mind, and keeps sitted, clumsily offering his hand to shake.

Quote:
"Welcome and well met! Don't mind us, we have been hanging around each other for a bit and Kara could never decide between Leb and Archimeles! Anyone seen the short gray one about!"

"Leb"?... Did she just called me Leb? Well.. I like the sound of it.

The man smiles and relax.
Well, most of his body relax, as much as a man can be fully relaxed near a Calistrian.

Naughty girls.This takes quite an unexpected turn ^^

The short, small, wrinkled grayish thing at the table seems to be constantly squinting at everything as it scarfs down its stew. When asked where it is, the thing protests that it is right here and has been all along, having arisen and dressed much before any of the layabouts. Beside the thing sits a well-behaved wolf. The thing introduces itself to the newcomers as Veilblade, and the wolf as Shadowfang.

Lizbeth looks down, hungover eyes clearly missing Veilblade with their head buried in a bowl of stew and smiles, absently petting Shadowfang. The Vishkanya turns to the Investigator and smiles at him, winking to show she was teasing the poor boy.

"Definitely sounds my thing Leb! You going to do a girl a favour and escort her around?"

Never knew I could have an opportunity as an escort. We definitively learn everyday, as Archimeles would say.

Lebraerio smiles, and winks back at Lizbeth

"I could show you how." Rilia says slyly while running her fingertips though Lebraerio's beard.

Rilia uses her time to mingle. Her typical strategy is to enter a common room with people in it, read the situation to find someone worth talking to, chat them up/flirt with them for a while and then move on. Cut out some time should she need to give Lebraerio private lessons.

One suspects that three days of nothing, followed by a walk-on cameo of our favorite philosopher, indicates we are not feeling particularly chatty and may be ready to move on.

Archimeles is one of my favorite 'philosophers' too. My other character of philosophical bent, Agirran the Fury is slightly less subtle (and civil), but still likes to get his point across.


Moving along...

You decide to see what all the fuss with this carnival is about, and head out to the outskirts of town. The carnival has already attracted quite the crowd, and there are plenty of things to do.

Let me know what you wish to do. There's games, a menageri and of course a sphinx show, although that won't start until midday.

So not much in the way of local rumors? Rilia indulges in people watching at the fairgrounds (watching folks marvel at the rigged games, the 'Amazing Egress', and such).


Whoops! That'll teach me to miss a rather bulky post.

Rilia takes stock of the local's view on the carnival and comes to the conclusion, that though the local, mainly Chelish, population is, on the surface, excited, there is quite a lot of suspicion towards the Varisians who run the carnival.

Perhaps Lebraerio will try to impress the ladies with a feat of strength...

Balfour wanders happily around the festival before spotting the menagerie. His face suddenly becomes much less joyful as he walks over to the caged animals.

I bet these people don't know a thing about being held captive, he thinks to himself. These creatures have every right to be free.

"Hey!", he proceeds to yell at no particular person. "Which of you people's running this thing? What can you tell me about these fellows", he says as he points at the exhibit.

You realise, of course, that the games, if not rigged, are created in such a way that the players have less chance to win than the house, lady Kara? You don't own a carnival game to lose your own money.

That said ,the point of visiting the carnival isn't to earn money or to win games, but to have fun. So lets enjoy the time spend together.

What kind of games does the carnival propose?

GM only:
Is there someone selling flowers, or small nothings (little dolls, sweets, scarves)? Leb would like to make a small gift to each of the ladies.


At the menagerie:

A portable fence of wooden posts and rope cordon off this section of the circus. Several wagons constructed to serve as animal cages line the perimeter, with an occasional haystack piled between them. In the center of the area is a large tent whose wall flaps have been lifted up and tied off to allow easy viewing.

A carnie snaps to attention as Balfour starts talking.

"My good dwarf! I present to you a baby green dragon!"

He motions to a green, reptilian creature with wings.

Perception DC 20 or Knowledge (Nature) DC 17:
The "dragon" is a monitor lizard disguised as a dragon.

Elsewhere...

Lebreario:
There's an abundance of trinkets, flowers (a rose for the lady my good sir) and other cheap junk. Basically, you can buy whatever you're after for a silver piece.

Lebraerio spots a chance to impress the ladies. A heavy, long-handled mallet leans against a 3-foot-wide and 12-foot-high wooden tower crowned with a stuffed lion's head. At the base is a lever attached to a puck that slides up and down a pole running the length of the tower up to the lion's head.

The small gray thing rides around the carnival on Shadowfang's back. It studies the menagerie with a blank expression, then goes on to find some of the games.

"That's incredible. It's mom isn't nearby is she?" Rilia looks about at the sky above.

"Come on, look at the poor thing! Dragons aren't supposed to live in tiny cages; nobody's supposed to."

Balfour shakes his head slowly and examines the dragon more closely, then throws a disgusted look at the carnival employee.

"Well, well. Not only do you keep the poor lizard here, you also claim it to be a dragon."

Balfour stretches and yawns. "Do you have any actual interesting creatures over here, or are these all fraud?"


The carnie becomes visibly nervous as Balfour sees through his cleverly disguised lizard.

"Ah, eh, I see that you are quite the connaisseur. Perhaps a manticore would be more to your liking! It has been de-spined for your safety, of course..."

Please accept these modest proofs of my admiration.

You have done a very good job maskerading that monitor lizard as a small dragon, my congratulations. I nearly believed it. In fact, I believed it for a few seconds, before a closer examination.

A manticore? I don't think it's a real one... You should try to sell a horse as an hornless unicorn. The simplest deception are sometimes the hardest to see through.

Showing to Veilblade and Balfour the pole
Theres a kind of test of strenght nearby. Anyone wants to try? I don't think I'll be able to win that one, of course. But who knows, I could surprise myself.

Balfour throws a look towards the wooden tower, his eyes resting upon the stuffed lion head.

"It has been a while; my sword arm's starting to twitch. Perhaps my muscle has some use besides crushing Chelish bastard faces," he chuckles.

Balfour starts walking towards the game, then turns around and winks at Lebraerio.

"I'd say it might also win me the ladies' attention, but with you around, that obviously won't happen."

Lizbeth gives Leb a courtly bow as she excepts the rose, tucking the stem behind her ear after inhaling the fine aroma of the flower as she stared at the poor Monitor lizard, her own draconic blood coursing through her veins.

"Hmm, aren't we glad to have a few Knowledgeable ones around? I must say that the disguise is exquisite, well done."

Lizbeth then ruffles Balfour's hair and winks at the Dwarf, moving on towards the games in the fair, looking for a game based on accuracy, maybe knife throwing or ball throwing.

"Come on Balfour dearest, let us see what you can do for our little group."

Rilia takes the rose and gives Lebraerio a soft kiss on his cheek. She lingers there to whisper sweet innuendo in his ear about what might be in store for him later that evening. She winks as she withdraws and lazily strokes Balfour's beard when she passes him, giving him a wink as well.

Rilia looks around, clears her throat and tries the line again hoping it will cue the next line/scene.

Rilia, Sacred Hetaira wrote:
Rilia takes the rose and gives Lebraerio a soft kiss on his cheek. She lingers there to whisper sweet innuendo in his ear about what might be in store for him later that evening. She winks as she withdraws and lazily strokes Balfour's beard when she passes him, giving him a wink as well.

I'm waiting for the GM to describe the game of strength and ways I can interact with it...


For now there's only the carnival activities and competitions. If you guys want it, I can skip ahead to the next sphinx show, or even to the first "event".

Edit: Ninja'ed by Balfour... It's a simple strength check to swing the hammer.

Well, if it's just a strength check...

Balfour looks around at the women, his face becoming gradually redder as he approaches the wooden tower.

"Well, let's see what these hands can do," he says, trying to sound nonchalant.

Balfour grabs the hammer, swings it around a few times, then finally breathes in and makes the actual swing.

Strength: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5


Balfour misses the intended target completely, hammering the ground beside it instead. Between laughs, the carnie in charge of the challenge asks if he wants to go again.

Oh, try again. Now that the ground is properly prepared, you can't lose!

Kara's wry smile is the only indication that she may be having a little fun at Balfour's expense.

"I'm telling you, these hammers are such clumsy tools. Better swing a good old sword than a blunt piece of metal. Betcha didn't expect to hear that from a dwarf," Balfour says with an anxiously joking tone, then stares at the hammer for a moment.

"Of course I'm going to try again."

Balfour grabs the hammer, grunts and tries to swing it at the target with slightly more precision this time.

Strength: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Let's give this a try...

Swing the hammer: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Lebraerio laughs at his own failure.
He then studies the weight and balance of the hammer more precisely, places himself correctly and smashes the hammer again

Let's give this another try...

Hammer time!: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Wow.... That worked better than I expected.


After a few, frankly embarrassing, attempts, Lebraerio brings down the mallet with such force, that the sliding puck flies up and strikes the lions head, which in turn gives off a magnificent roar. The carnie applauds and places a paper crown on Lebraerio's head.

"I present to you, the King of the Carnival!"

That's probably the only crown I'll ever have on my head. I should get a piece of wood as a scepter too, maybe.

Lebraerio suddenly thinks about the things Rilia whispered in his ear earlier, and then desperatly tries to think about anything else.
Something very cold, and unaesthetic, preferably.

Why did I have to speak about a "piece of wood"...


If you feel like you've seen what you want, we can jump forward to either the sphinx show, or something else...

Do you really think they have a sphinx, or is it some large dog dressed up in costume? Let's go see!

Balfour stares at Lebraerio with awe, trying to hide his jealousy.

"Well, I shouldn't waste my strength on games, right? Preserve every drop of energy to defeat my enemies, or something."

Upon hearing Kara, Balfour grabs his chance to change subject.

"From our experience with these fellows, I doubt the dog will even be in a costume. Let's see what they've prepared this time."


You attend the midday sphinx show, and sure enough, there's a sphinx. It lounges in the center of the largest tent with no regard for humanoid taboos concerning her state of undress . Visitors are free to walk around and speak with her. Provided they're friendly or polite, she replies in kind.

Kara waits her turn, then addresses the sphinx.

I'm sure you've met many humanoids, but you are my first sphinx. I am pleased to meet you. How did you come to be part of the carnival?

Rilia's fine with it.

Rilia listens intently, double checking to make sure she's not some peasant girl in lion's hide.
