Malachai stepped forward putting on his best sympathetic look and bowing low.
"Then on we go" Malachai said flamboyantly whisking his way past the others then spinning around when he realized he didn't know where he was going. "lead on deputy"
"seems like a lot of effort to go to just to kill a money lender" Malachai said, " more to Walder than he was letting on? Or someone had one hell of a debt they wanted clearing?"
Malachai paces around the scene making a big show of peering under things and looking a little too closely at things.
Malachai leaned against the wall,folded his arms and listened carefully to the story. He looked skeptically at the sheriff, he was unimpressed with the story, it seemed like no one actually knew anything. "Well Kyra, it seems to me that you need our help as much as the carnival does. Is there really nothing else you can tell us? how do you know the robbery and the murder aren't simply coincidence? or that our thieves are simply opportunists who witness our savage beastie make a meal of poor Walder?"
"bless you" Malachai said fixing Nelda with a knowing look and a smile. " Let's hurry on, I believe Captain Cheerful and I were done."
"now, now, no need to be rude." Malachai jokingly chastised Kassam . "Look on the brightside, she didn't lie to me. Besides, it wouldn't be fun if all the information was handed to us on a plate"
Malachai raised a finger and opened his mouth as if to argue, thought about it for a minute closed his mouth and grinned. "A clever answer, it's a wonder you need our help at all" he turned and followed Geoff, giving a wave as he walked away. "Fear not, your problems will soon be over!" he called back over his shoulder.
Malachai got to his feet "Alright on we go" As he passed Almara he paused, leant in close and whispered " One more question before I leave, and think carefully about your answer my trust in your word depends on it, What exactly IS your so called dragon?
Malachai shrugged and leaned back in his chair. "looks like we have a deal" he sighed crossing his arms and settling back to listen to what Almara had to say.
Malachai grimaced as he turned to Geoff. well there goes my bargaining position "I'm glad you have coin enough to turn away pay, I, however, do not, a moral code is fine but i'm not willing to starve for it"
Malachai took one of the seats by the campfire, crossed his legs and folded his arms, he listened carefully to what Almara had to say chuckling to himself quietly when she mentioned the "Dragon". When she had finished he leaned forward in his chair resting his elbows on his knees. "In the message we received you mentioned this was a job opportunity, jobs are generally paid so... what's in it for us?"
"Geoff, you're one of those rangery types, aren't you supposed to be good with animals? Why don't you take a crack at...whatever the hell that thing REALLY is" Malachai suggested.
Knowledge Arcana:
Malachai thought for a moment "I could try and colour spray it, it's been known to knock things unconscious sometimes" Malachai shrugged "otherwise it's make with the blasty blasty i'm afraid"
Malachai followed the others out of the tent remaining silent as he did so. The creatures where awe inspiring and he found himself robbed of his usual flippant attitude. Something had seemed odd about the place but he couldn't put his finger on it. He shrugged to himself and kept moving.
Ack! sorry it's been a while since I posted, been busy, should be back now though.
" some sort of zoo?" Malachai looked around at the others "I'm game as long as it's free."
"No matter how lovely madame Masque is, i'm afraid, I too will have to decline." Malachai said knowing his observational skills were a little lackluster.
Last thing Malachai remembered clearly was drinking at a bar in Caliphas, who knew how long ago that was?, after that things get a little hazy , something about going to a better bar, a carriage ride. Next thing he knew he was sat in the dust at the side of the road wondering where his "night" had gone so awry. Still, could be worse, he still had all his things and his emergency bottle of wine was still intact. If only he knew where he was. It was at this point he'd heard the sounds of the carnival. Perhaps his "night" wasn't over yet after all. He grinned to himself roguishly as he got up from the floor. He brushed the dust off the front of his silk shirt and straightened the tattered lace at his cuff before tucking his shirt in to his black trousers.He was a handsome man and his outfit would have looked quite regal when it was new but as it stood was merely a vestige of it's former glory. He slung his back pack over his shoulder and started for the carnival. Upon arriving at the carnival his first priority was to find out where he was .This was when he met Belgor, Viniana and the others. He introduced himself shaking hands with each of them in turn, then explained his predicament. After learning his whereabouts Malachai decided to stick around the group, he had a good feeling about them, the looked like fun. "Not too loud though" he pleaded as Belgor stepped forward for the game. He could feel the rumblings of a hangover starting to rattle around his skull.
Take as long as you need, i'm preparing to move from Denmark back to the UK myself so know how much time it takes (And I don't have to move a whole family).
Malachai's not entirely sure where he is, the last few days are a bit hazy for him, he remembers drinking in a bar somewhere, a ride in a carriage with some guys he met at the bar, then being forcefully ejected from the cart after accidentally insulting one of the guy's mother. He see's the circus and thinks it'll be a good place to find out where he is and hopefully continue drinking. Having fled Cheliax many years ago I imagine he's not going to be particularly happy when he finds out he's in a Chelaxian settlement.
I'm fine with pretty much anything. Tbh it sounds like this campaign may suit this particular character perfectly.

I think everything's in order, if you see anything wrong or missing lemme know. |
