Robyn, in her human form nods at her sylph companion, with a wink
"We will have to make time, shouldn't we?"
Alkaid add "While I agree we should enjoy ourselves, we should still be aware and alert for anyone checking folks out as I'm sure there won't only be pickpockets in the crowd if the Royals are playing at something."
Landriss looks around to get a sense of how many non-humans there are. Will he need to keep his hood pulled over his head to not be noticed?
Everyone, give me a perception check.
Alkaid walks the fair alert, while looking like a normal peasant women in a dress with a kerchief on her head that hides her ears.
Landriss, you were -- indeed -- easily distracted. Jediah, you noticed a log tossing contest at the faire. Most people you see are human, except there are a lot of elves here. Meffa was also distracted, but not as much as Landriss. Besides that, Alkaid noticed some pickpockets working the crowd.
yes.
Alkaid keeps her voice low and gives the heads up
"Called it on the pickpockets working the crowd.
So make sure your coin pouch is safe as we go about."
Jediah secures his pouch. Gunna toss a log!
He heads off to the flying logs.
"Jediah, we have to get the supplies first—he's gone already," Meffa shouts after the half-orc, petering out and slumping in defeat when it becomes clear there's no deterring him from tossing cabers.
"Pickpockets, huh?" she mutters, turning her attention to the half-elf, "I'll try to keep an eye out, but this cloak hood doesn't exactly allow me peripheral vision. Hopefully it'll deter them from stealing from me, though."
"I'll help keeping a watch. Don't want our reputation to down the drain because we got upended by a bunch of town rookies" the human Robyn chuckles
Then you hear trumpets blazing. As a procession comes through the Faire. First it was the knights on horseback. Both elves and men. And then it was the halberders, then you see the prince -- an elf -- and a princess -- another elf -- proceed on horseback.
Jediah will see if he can enter and throw large pieces of wood around.
There are stacks of cabers (logs of wood) at a certain part of the fair. The woods are cut from pine, and are of a certain length, certain width, and certain density. A human in simple clothing is writing down names in common as to who is competing.
He has red hair, slightly cut, and wearing a simple studded leather jerkin. He's also dressed in brown hose. His cap has a turkey feather in it. He sees Jediah.
"Well, are you coming to compete?" he asked.
Yep, yep! Jediah Mountainstrong, lumberjack.
Landriss listens to the group. He isn't concerned about pick pockets. The little bit of coin that he has is tucked away where nobody could get it. But, he does watch as he walks around the area.
When the procession starts he steps back so others were in front of him.
Yep, yep! Jediah Mountainstrong, lumberjack.
He writes that down. "We don't have the competition until the prince has passed. He believes he's next in line to become duke."
Jediah is confused. He thought princes become kings.
"It's an honorary title," said the man. "Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Eliah."
Alkaid sees all the contests and her competitive side wants to play, but knows it might be better to not jump into all of them.
As her Kerchief is hiding her ears, and with her figure and muscle most would think she is either human or half-human and not a full blooded elf like her ears would say. If her kerchief fell off, her ears could flag her as one of the merry band with the royals in the area sending the guards into a frenzy.
The prince and his entourage stops at the caber toss event.
"IS this going to be a good event?" he asks.
Jediah bows. Yes yer highness! I'll do the best I can.
Jediah bows. Yes yer highness! I'll do the best I can.
"I'd like to see you toss a caber now."
Jediah ambles over to a cabor and picks it up. Bracing himself, he huffs and puffs and throws!
Alkaid keeps watch over the royal entourage and even looks over the prince and princess.
She takes note of any items they visibly have.

You throw it about 3 feet away from you. Impressive for some, but not for the prince.
Jediah clutches his hat. Sorry yer Highness. I will train harder.

"I hope so, I know most can throw farther than that."
Robyn stays to one side eyeing this discussion and interaction. E joying the show. And maybe get a read on the current demeanor of their 'prince'

Meffa will try to lay low and focus on what the various vendors are selling and what would serve best as supplies for the camp.

Landriss moves up behind Jediah. He looks at the 'caber', wondering how heavy it really is and if he could throw it. But, he doesn't really want to stand out from the crowd.
He turns and walks back about twenty feet away looking for what other games were around that would be interesting.
After his poor showing, Jediah rejoins the others to get back to shopping.
The shops are a buzz with people buying and selling. Landris finds that someone set up a High Striker game, where one simply hits a hammer to a bag, causing a steel weight to push up to the level of the force applied. The goal is to strike the bell.
Robyn nudges her half orc companion "Go try that contraption. I'm sure you will do much better there. Maybe win us some sweet snacks? Or even better. Some drinks!"
She was a huge flirt, and it was hard for her to stop now, even in her human disguise
Jediah grabs the hammer and tries to ring a bell

The bell does not ring!
Ah phooey!
"Too bad sir, and you looked strong enough to ring the bell," says the peddler.

What is the iconography of the pendant or ring, so as to confirm the house of this prince?
As doubles/shadows (think body doubles) are sometimes are used in places en case of events or for a trap..
Robyn chuckles "Can never trust the carnival types. Always a trick up their sleeves" she shakes her head and pats his back "Let's go have a gander around some more, maybe see some sights" she tilts her head towards the prince and his people

Give me an appraise check on both the ring and the pendant. DC 15.
Oh, if you have +5 bonus in knowledge (royalty and nobility), add a bonus of +2 to your roll!
