It started in a tavern and ended in circus madness

by Marya Silverstring

Start in the tavern 'Drunken Dragon'
Several shady people there
Halfling bard there as well, telling tales
And a deep gnome offering scribing services
4cp per Ale
8cp per Pie
5sp per Room

The deep gnome (Nim), offers us to share his table
And we agree to it
He deals in lore and writing services
Otherwise seems like a decent fellow
Charges normal rates for lore (2gp/day)
Or 2-3 silverpieces for knowledge of the top of his head

A little later a charcoal grey tiefling comes into the room
And he knows Nim, he seems to be called Melech
He has a white mask on his shield as well as a raven feather in his hair

A little later there's a commotion outside, lots of people and wagons
Seems to be some kind of circus, that's performing in the night
They also seem to have some kind of surprise
Sounds like a fun adventure!
Especially for Magnolia
They also seem to have some kind of weird talking in your thoughts kinda creature with gems in it's skin/scales
That might be the fun surprise! :D
And we get tickets from Melech, yay!
It's tickets to "Madame Krishana's Traveling Circus"

And then randomly first a genasi comes over asking for a letter to be filed
He then bails right before
Then a human comes over, buys us drinks and asks for tickets
Oh well, it's because of the creature
And it seems that some people here think it might be sentient and a slave
Damn this circus would have to be made up from idiots to keep slaves here O.o

Dalmir and me decide we need a proper bath
It seems the bath is called "Sylvan Forest", how fitting for us
Public Bath: 2sp
Private Bath: 4sp
Cloth cleaning services: 1sp
Also there's shared private baths.... we're definitely not gonna take this one O.o
Dalmir takes the public ones
I take a private one
We get towels and I get the badge for a private room (number 6)
We also both use the cloth services
Should only take 15 minutes

After all of this, it's off to the circus!
Pretty neat tent, 30ft. high at the highest part
Front row seats, awesome!
And the cage seems pretty big
All of it just outside the north gate
And we even get to keep our weapons, great!
Performers are masked with some makeup
They claim to have a dragon O.O

Ok something about this whole show is off
Creature with orange scales and fins
Also gemstones in embedded in those wings
Dragonlike, but weeeeird o.o'
Ok that creature summoned a weird eyetentaclethingcreature and then disappeared
And that thing starts shooting people with eye rays

At first we consider running, but of course some of our new found friends have to play heroes....
So we play heroes as well
I heal up the mistress of the circus 2 times, bringing her back from almost certain death
And then it's time to bring out my inner wolf
Though holy hells this tentacle thing hurts me
Then I teleport above it and get a bite in, but this thing refuses to fall >.<
And then things go dark~

Next thing I see is Melech standing over me, saying "She has more in store for you"
As well as "get up wolf girl"
Seriously, wolf girl, really? o.o'
In any case this thing has me pissed off
So I go directly back into wolf form and go for it again

And finally Dalmir kills it with a magic missile
So he pretty much explodes it
The dragon seems to be gone, there's a hole in the top of the tent
Then Crownsguard come
A short discussion with the Guard then
At least they don't suspect us

We have to talk to this Circus director woman
And there seems to someone asking for us outside
Seems to be a rough guy with an eyepatch and short black hair
And another person with greying hair and a very thick and bushy mustache
Both are pretty big
They say that the person in charge of the city has business with us
And I know them, oh well, nice that the Myriad is so engaged

We're slowly going to a nicer residential district, the "Garden Grounds"
