Misforstått's jaw drops. "I cannot do THAT!" he thinks to himself.

"Pathfinders, I admit: I want to run away an join the circus. Clearly, they have abilities beyond our wildest dreams!"

What a day!? First hips, now...he glances askance at Evenstar. Best not to keep THAT jest up all day. He cocks his head, unsurely saying, "Hello madame."

Dolph immediately puts his hands over his goat's eyes upon seeing the sphynx. "Avert your innocent eyes, young Victor! Such mammaries Dolph has not seen since Gertrude was with three calves."

Evenstar groans loudly. "Remind me to never come to the circus again, but especially with men!"

Dar'erthan smiles at the reactions of the others, "But the creature is here for our entertainment, she is not joined with us in the eyes of the gods. Let her be, for if she truely is a sphinx, then surely she allows us to look, her power is great. We humbly look on and acknowledge the magics she must surely own." Dar'erthan watches the sphinx with both amusement, but also with a certain reverence.

Sovereign Court

Sorry for the absence guys. I spent the weekend sick and unable to get out of bed. Feeling better now so back to business.
The sphinx rolls her eyes, ignoring most of the groups comments. However, Dar'erthan's comment catches her attention. "Interesting," she purrs as she sits up to better look at the cleric. "I suppose I'll take that as both a compliment and an insult. That said, I suppose I'll kill you, but quickly out of courtesy."

No worries. Hope you're feeling better!

Um. Misforstått wasn't ogling. He simply doesn't know what a sphinx is. He's been talking about mixing, matching, and enhancing since our previous adventure. (At higher levels, alchemists can do that pretty well.) Sphinxes look like an amalgam of a lot of things--hence his interest and amazement.

"Pardon me, miss. How did you combine the body of a lion, the wings of a falcon, and the head and torso of a human?"

Sovereign Court

Oh the eye-rolling wasn't really aimed at Misforstatt. I get why he's fascinated.
At Misforstatts question, the sphinx turns her attention away from Dar'erthan to fix her steely gaze on the Alchemist. "Interesting, it appears that the half-demon is the only one with manners. To answer your question, no, I was not 'spliced' with anything. I was born this way. As long as we're on the topic of origins, though, how was it that your existance came to pass?"

OK, thanks. :-)

"Well, mother was a Pathfinder who went into the Worldwound. When she came out, she was pregnant. She didn't talk about what happened in the interim. Then she passed away giving birth to me. After some time in the orphanage, another Pathfinder named Atrahasis adopted me and taught me something of the healing arts. But my interests go far beyond healing into the realm of enhancement!"

The alchemist approaches the sphinx.

"May I examine?"

He wants to look at the places on her body where one creature type melds with another.

Arthrax has nothing constructive to add to the conversation, so he listens to the conversation, helping the alchemist perform his inspection. Of the torso. From a distance.

Well played, horndog. Well played.

In response to Misforstatt's question, the Sphinx purrs "You may certainly not." Before you have time to react, two guards appear from nowhere and grab the alchemist by each arm as they harshly growl "That's as close as you get! You may not proceed any further for your own safety."

Grand Lodge

Male Human Fighter 4 / AC 25 T 12 FF 23 / HP 40/40 / F+7 R+3 W+2 / Init+1 / Perception+1

Arthrax takes a moment away from his examination to scowl at the guards. This was becoming a tired routine already. "Hands off, friends. Surely my friend Misforstått will abide by the lovely...Sfincks' request and back away." He crosses his arms over his chest in a confrontational manner.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed and shamed by the sphinx's words and looks. ...ummm...errr..I most humbly apologise if I caused offence, it was not my intent. Obviously someone with your great power must have your own reasons to be part of the charade, that is this circus. If I can be of service, whilst I am here, then you need only ask." Dar'erthan says with a quivering voice. He bows and attempts to leave, before the sphinx attacks him, walking backwards out of the exhibit, whilst bowing continually. Under his breath he calls for Sarenrae to protect him.

Dar has been intimidated ...
What is the knowledge check to know about a sphinx?

Knowledge Arcana. Sphinxes are magical beasts. The knowledge for those is arcana.

Evenstar, already suspicious from the fake 'dragon,' watches the sphinx warily.

Another circus trick, likely...

Sovereign Court

Knowledge(arcana) for sphinxes.
As the mood begins to turn hostile, the sphinx gives an exasperated sigh as she muters something about animals. "Gentlemen, please escort these...adventurers out if you would. I think I shall retire for the day."
With that, you are all escorted out as the tent flaps close behind you. However, just as you're starting to walk away, you hear screaming and sounds of panic coming from the traveling circus. A few people run by, screaming "Run for your lives! The baby dragon has escaped and it's going crazy on the circus!"

Arthrax rolls his eyes as they are escorted out of yet another exhibit. He then huffs in amusement at the screams and cries about the baby dragon. He nudges Dolph, shaking his head.

Evenstar rouses at the prospect of killing the fake dragon. She now wields her greatsword with a spark in her eye.

"Anyone ever wanted to be a dragon-slayer? Now's our chance!" she says as she rushes toward the screaming.

Arthrax laughs at the thought of Evenstar hacking apart the overgrown lizard, rushing forward to watch the show.

Dolph charges for the animal pen. "Come, Victor! We must save the reptile of watching!"

Sovereign Court

Following the screaming, you come upon a scene of total chaos. People are fleeing in every direction as the "baby dragon" runs about, snapping and hissing at people who get too close to it. In all the confusion, it hasn't really noticed you yet.

Arthrax retrieves his battle axe, settling for a two handed grip as he advanced toward the overgrown lizard. After so much frustration today, this would possibly be fun.

Draws weapon, advanced three spaces diagonally (up and right)

Still convince this might actually be a dragon, the achemist moves to the side and observes contentedly. He finds a bag of popcorn that somebody dropped to the ground and settles in for the show!

"Dolph can you or anyone calm the animal down. Surely it would be best for the circus to capture the creature. Can we capture this dragon?" He calls out to the rest of the group, "Try not to hurt the dragon, try just to hit it with the blunt part of our swords, if you really must try protect yourself by hitting it, the flat of the blade." The cleric pleads with the group of adventurers.

He raises his voice over the screams and noise of the circus customers, calling out loudly, "Please, be calm and make you way in an orderly fashion over there. It is all perfectly safe, we will have the beast under control in just a few short minutes." Even as Dar says this, he takes out his scimitar and makes ready to defend himself and any other threaten creature, from the dragon.

Annoyed but not unkind, Arthrax nods to the cleric, indicating he will do his best to subdue the creature without chopping it apart.

Dolph produces a piece of bacon from his backpack and holds it out to the creature, inching forward calmly. "Gentle reptile of watching! The Son of a Shepherd does not wish to harm a single scale of your backside. Please, return to the calmness of peaceful watching."

Misforstått winces at Dolph. "Did he just call out the dragon's backside?" And he shovels another fistful of popcorn into his mouth.

Evenstar looks disappointed with the subdual approach.

"Come on! You guys got to have all the fun you wanted earlier!" she exclaims.

Nevertheless, she waits to see how Dolph's efforts play out.

"But if this thing attacks me...so help me..."

Misforstått winces at Evenstar. "Oh no she didn't!" He waggles his neck, snaps his fingers, and shovels another fistful of popcorn into his mouth.

Sovereign Court

Dar'erthan is successfully able to get most of the people away from the lizard. Among them are some of the circus performers who cry out "Please, don't kill the dragon!"
Dolph doesn't seem to have much luck in calming the lizard. It just stands it's ground and hisses at the group. However, it doesn't advance.
The party is up!

Amused even in these circumstances by the alchemist, Arthrax chuckles as he lunges forward, shifting his grip on his axe to bring the head down flat onto the creature.

Misforstått winces at Arthrax. "Whiff! Gallant Sir Bellringer must be feeling distracted by that Sphinx." And he shovels another fistful of popcorn into his mouth.

In an effort to aid Arthrax, Dar' waves his scimitar in the air making loud aggressive noises as he moves forward towards the creature.

"Bah...you are all as fun as a caltrop in your heel!" Evenstar yells as she tries to smack the creature with the flat of her sword.

Wild Empathy takes one minute unfortunately, so Dolph is occupied. It's what he would do, though.

He tries to remain calm, even as the situation has begun to turn violent. "Do not be paying attention to Spanking-with-Sword-Evenstar-Woman and calmly go the cage, observant lizard."

All finished with the leftover popcorn that he found discarded on the ground, Misforstått:

- Move Action: pulls out a tanglefoot bag
- Switch Action: takes a 5-foot-step
- Standard Action: readies an action to assist his compatriots if the "dragon" gets out of hand...
- Free Action: "I wonder what kind of breath weapon it has."

The lizard is able to dodge both attacks. Angered (and possibly afraid), the monitor lizard goes on the offensive and tries to bite Arthrax...

Evenstar tumbles quickly into a flanking position with Arthrax.

"Let's try this again," she says as she reverses her grip and smashes the flat of her sword against the creature's head.

Dolph waves the piece of bacon in front of the lizard and mimes rubbing his stomach. "It's okay, observant lizard! You calm down to eat of the fine strip of bacon here, yes?"

subdued?

Sovereign Court

Having a better feel for the lizard's movements, Arthrax and Evanstar are both able to connect this time. With their well-aimed blows, they're able to bring the "baby dragon" down! As the dust settles, the circus’s Master of Beasts arrives, winded and flushed. Some members of the crew carry the lizard back to its cage while the man personally thanks each of you, saying "Thank you so much! That could have ended a lot worse if not for your timely appearance. Truly you are the kings and queens of this carnival!"
And so ends part 1. Feel free to wrap up anything you want to do at the carnival before we move on to Act 2.

Evenstar smirks as she raises her greatsword over her head.

"All hail the dragon slayers!" she says sarcastically.

"But... they didn't slay it... what's going on?" The tiefling is confused. :-)
