Red Squad goes to the fair Onyx I will go with Darrin to find a place to put the wagons and rest the horses. (I assume this is the first order of business) I will then try to find a place to stay for the night. I will place most of my money in a pouch inside my clothes so no pick pockets that may be at the fair will get their grubby hands on it. As soon as this is accomplished I will return to the fair and go to the booth where the Dwarf is lifting weights. I will watch him for a while to see if I can determine if he is actually lifting heavy weights or if he is somehow faking it. If he is lifting real weights I will see if he will accept a friendly competition to see who can lift the most. (I will accept a small wager if he would like one, but I will not suggest it) I will not drink anything alcoholic at the fair and I will not stay for very long. I think we should set up a watch over the wagons so no one opens them and drinks the contents. After a short time at the fair I will return to take a turn watching the wagons. Foldis On entering the village; "Hey Darrin, where do we stay tonight?" Further discussions will depend on reply but can be taken to be rather boring and related to where we and the animals stay for the night. Once settled I will grab a quick meal and then head for the dwarven "weightlifter" to see what he is doing. I will try to engage him in conversation, in Dwarfish, to find out what is happening, what the festival is about and to try to get any local gossip. If the "weightlifting" is some sort of contest I will try to get involved, especially if it is a drinking contest, but will not spend more than a couple of hours at the fair/fete/whatever it actually is. I will then get some sleep to be ready for whatever start is needed in the morning. Depending on sleeping arrangements; If watches are suggested I am happy to sit a watch if we are in a common room but if in smaller rooms would like a full nights sleep. Jeath Not interested. I'll help stable the horses and the wagon and turn in early, preferably to a private room. Carnies are nearly always ripoffs, and I don't feel like trying to find the catch right now. I still plan on standing watch and riding scout if need be. Christeel Christeel will help and see to the horses and then to the wagon. "I will take first watch over the wagons this night, while the rest of you can go check out this city, I'm sure that when my watch is over there will still be plenty to do." Christeel will climb up on top of the wagon to start his watch, he will check the area for any possible problems and then settle down to his watch. Christeel will listen to the tune being played by the flutists, He will try to duplicate the turn. After Christeel watch is over he will walk around for a while taking in the festive atmosphere. He will ask any ladies that seems willing that are near the stage if they would care to dance to the lovely music. If he comes across any that seems of particular intrest to him he will ask them for a second dance. Christeel will keep this up for a few hours and then turn in for the night unless of course he finds a companion for the night. On his way to rest Christeel will make sure to pass by the wagon and see how the current watch is going Darrin is startled by your desire to find an inn. He was rather enjoying the show, but he tears himself away to lead you to an inn with stables. As two stableboys come out to take your horses, Darrin grins and says, "You can stand a watch if you want, or stay in the inn and sleep, but I'm for having some fun tonight and the inn here will take good care of our wagon and goods." He nods towards where the young men are taking your horses and wagons, and through the open barn door, you can see other vehicles as well. "I will tell you this though. These are carnival workers as Jeath has pointed out and they're making their way to Waterdeep for the big fesival. So this will be fun, but nothing compared to what awaits us. So go enjoy yourselves. We leave early in the morning though," he reminds you still grinning broadly. Onyx and Foldis both head off towards their fellow dwarf and Jeath heads into the inn. Darrin looks to Christeel and then nods his head towards the center of town.
