The destruction of Frederick's Marvelous Carnival of Wonders (Kythorn 18th,1458)

Criminal Activity

The party searching Frederick’s wagon and finding some gold and items. While Cora, Valna, and Nyx rescue the remaining animals, Sneatcha and Friac help the head of the carnival guards, Len, who is being attacked by four wolves. A fireball is then fired from the big top, killing Len and the guards while injuring the wolves. One of the wolves transforms into a female elf, and the other transforms into a male elf. The large wolf runs towards a wagon by the big top, and Sneatcha and Friac follow it. Sneatcha fights a clown and enlarges himself while Friac sees inside the wagon, where he finds a box with drow script on it. The box says, “from my eternal homeland, I rest.” The large wolf transforms into a human male and tells Friac that the box contains the mistress Briza Lueltar, whom they must keep alive. Nyx, Cora, and Valna arrive to help rescue the animals when several fireballs are fired at the wagons. Valna sees a clown with the ringleader on top of a wagon targeting the animal wagons and tries to attack them, but the wagon explodes, knocking them down. They return to the wagon with Sneatcha to find Briza Lueltar, who they debate whether to keep alive or kill. They decide to kill her, and they turn their attention to the human male, Darwin. The party steps outside and sees a group of soldiers arriving at the carnival led by a male gnome, Lord Hoskin Lashti of Saltmarsh. Nyx talks to Hoskin and tells him what happened while Sneatcha and Friac search for the strongman’s wagon but instead find the Wagon of Horrors. They enter it with Cora and Valna and find a torture room.
  Cora, Nyx, Valna, Sneatcha, and Friac continue their quest to find the book of Selu'taar and the missing children. At a mysterious facility, they are captured by men who plan to use their bodies in a display. Nyx rescues them with the help of soldiers. The group then heads to the Lilybrook Orphanage, where Nyx disguises herself as Lady Lorelei Thalavar to retrieve the children. They find one child, Mazel Analith, who is not related to the others. In Saltmarsh, Sneatcha and Friac visit a temple and a curio shop to find weapons against the undead. Meanwhile, Nyx, Cora, and Valna try to lure Lord Lassiter out of the town hall to retrieve the children. They are successful, but Valna becomes disoriented after entering an office in the hall, and the group is suspicious.
