TALIESIN: I know your name now! LAURA and TALIESIN: (laugh) LAURA: What is your name? TALIESIN: Oh, my name is Molly to my friends, and we're friends, now, aren't we?
Pleasure. LAURA: Molly. Look at this guy. TALIESIN: Mollymauk. Molly for short. This is Yasha, she's a charm. ASHLEY: Hello. MARISHA: Yasha. Yasha. TALIESIN: Now. Would anyone like a fortune read? LAURA: I would love one. TALIESIN: Do you have coin? LAURA: Yes. How much do you want? TALIESIN: Two copper. LAURA: Two copper, okay, I just got some copper. Here you go. MATT: Mark down your two copper. (laughs) TALIESIN: I am taking this in. All right. (sighs) I'm going to try and do this. LAURA: Oh my gosh, really? MATT: So, as he pulls out a small set of cards and begins to shuffle them, go ahead and roll an insight check. ASHLEY: (deadpan) He's really quite good, you all should line up and get your fortunes told. (laughter) TALIESIN: Let's do a 16 there navigate to this website. MATT: Okay, so you get a brief conversation here, you get a pretty solid read: the excitability, the eagerness, and the exuberant interest in just getting in your face that this person wants-- any fortune you tell will probably suffice. Go ahead and roll a sleight-of-hand check as well. SAM: Look at this fucking game! (laughter) TALIESIN: Also 16. MATT: Yeah. And you feel pretty confident that her eyes are locked onto your eyes at the moment and not the deck, as you set up a proper reading. And the cards are shuffled, set, you place them before you, and you may give your fortune. SAM: I'm going to just keep my eyes open for any tricks of the hand, sleight-of-hand-y-type tricks. MATT: Make a perception check. SAM: Okay. Perception. 14. MATT: 14. All right. Everything seems pretty above-board. TALIESIN: Your first card, the Silver Dragon. This is good. You're pure, you're virtue, you are a worthwhile and wonderful human being, obviously, or creature of some repute. LAURA: That's what everyone always tells me. TALIESIN: It's true. And heading towards the Anvil. LAURA: What is that? TALIESIN: That is a destiny forged. ASHLEY: (deadpan) Ohh. TALIESIN: There is something bright and adventurous in your future. LAURA: Wow! You know, we did just defeat a really big snake? So maybe there's even bigger things coming up, you know? TALIESIN: Can I make another roll? MATT: Sure. SAM: Ashley confirmed worst hype-man ever. (laughter) TALIESIN: 19. MATT: Yeah, easy enough. Even with discerning eyes at the table, you are at the top of your game. TALIESIN: The Serpent card appears. Of course you did. LAURA: (gasps) Oh my gosh! Look at that! How did you even do that? TALIESIN: That's all the cards. I'm simply a vessel for higher powers. LIAM: While everybody's watching this shit happen, may I cast Detect Magic? MATT: You may. You lean back and subtly begin a brief muttering of an incantation, your fingers wash through the air, a faint silver gleam across your fingertips. Nothing magical shows up in the immediate vicinity. LAURA: Will you ask the cards if I'm going to find him? TALIESIN: If you're going to find her? LAURA: Him. TALIESIN: Give me a little bit more. Who's this 'him' that you're looking for? LAURA: I'm looking for my dad. TALIESIN: 14. MATT: You fumble for a second, but the card still finds its way through without issue. TALIESIN: Pushing through, pushing through. The Eye card pulls up. You've already found the clue you're looking for. You just don't know what it is yet. LAURA: Really? TALIESIN: Apparently. Well, it's what the cards are saying. It's right in front of you. LAURA: Wow. Does it say how long ago I found it? Because that's-- TALIESIN: Sadly, I don't have that sort of specifics. That's much more expensive. LAURA: That's going to take a lot of thinking. TALIESIN: Well, you find us at the show, you'll find my tent and I'd be happy to give you a more complicated reading. LAURA: I can't wait! It's going to be so much fun. TALIESIN: So much fun. MATT: Yasha, at this point, the barmaid, Adelaine, comes up and hands you the ordered ale. ASHLEY: Thank you, my lady. MATT: "On the house." TALIESIN: On the house! ASHLEY: That's very kind of you. MARISHA: Do you perform in the circus, too? ASHLEY: No. I do not. I just-- I put it up. MARISHA: Oh, cool. TRAVIS: The tent. LAURA: It's a big tent. It would take a lot of work. ASHLEY: I put up the stage, I move things around. I'm very strong. But I don't do anything in the show. TALIESIN: Some of our acts are a little complicated, with performers who are not of the traditional variety. Can make some of the locals get a little shifty, if you know what I mean, and it's good to have a few people around who are capable of keeping issues contained. MARISHA: Is that why it says 'No admittance to the elderly'? You don't want to deal with those riley elderly. Or the ill, yeah. Why no elderly, though? Ill kind of makes sense, but elderly? TALIESIN: We cannot be held responsible for anything that may happen to someone who is ill or infirm. It is such an exciting, impressive show. ASHLEY: We've had people die watching it. Yeah. It's just that exciting. Just from excitement. TRAVIS: Did they die in the show, or from watching it? ASHLEY: Yeah, just like heart attack. Just from getting so excited, I guess. MARISHA: We gotta get so wasted. LAURA: When is it? How long is it? When is it? MATT: It is actually the day of Grissen, and your first show is today. TALIESIN: First show is tonight. LAURA: Well, we have plans tonight! MARISHA: Yay! LAURA: Do you stinky people want to come with us? SAN: I-- Caleb, we don't have any plans tonight. I guess we could go along. I wouldn't mind seeing it. MARISHA: It'll be fun! TALIESIN: Or you could stay here and buy beer for the people who do see the shows, and you can hear all about it and pay more. LIAM: Yeah, we can go. LAURA: It's going to be so much fun. SAM: Yeah, yeah, it sounds like a good night. Yeah. LAURA: Look at all these friends we're making here. This is a good city. SAM: Yeah, it is. MARISHA: Yeah, yeah. TALIESIN: You are all the most charming people I've met in-- yes. I finish my beer. (sighs) Well, we'd better be getting on. ASHLEY: Yep, nice to meet you all. You're so, uh, wonderful. TALIESIN: Charm. Pure charm. See you tonight! MATT: And as they leave you, Yasha just downs her entire ale, slams it on the table, and they both walk out, passing a couple more flyers at off tables, and then exit out to the rest of the day's sun beyond your sight. MARISHA: She was awesome. TRAVIS: She didn't say much. MARISHA: That's why I liked her. LAURA: She was really, really cool. Did you see that cool thing she had going on with her chin? That's interesting. I wish I would have thought of something like that. MARISHA: Yeah, I mean, you could maybe do something like that in time. Just wait until maybe-- LAURA: So she doesn't know I copied. I can't do it tonight. MARISHA: No, no. LAURA: Wow. Cool. What do you guys want to do now? (laughter) TRAVIS: Was he using magic? LAURA: I don't know. MARISHA: Are you-- you're superstitious. Yeah? LAURA: No. MARISHA: Okay. LAURA: No, I'm not superstitious at all. MARISHA: You-- sure. LAURA: Why? MARISHA: I mean, what he was working in was-- he was doing a little like-- he-- he's a smart guy. He's a smart guy. LAURA: By the way, did you open your Christmas present from me? TALIESIN: No, not yet, no. LAURA: You should go open it! Yes! Go grab the bag! TALIESIN: On the break. On the break, I'll grab it. SAM: Hey, Matt. Dungeon master. They're wearing what they described.

The ears are folded inward but elongated, the tinges of green to the skin, and with the little words that have poked through her lips, you can see what appear to be teeth more jagged than expected of the half-folk.
MARISHA: I just shout over and I say, good morning, in Halfling. SAM: I know Halfling, right? Yes. I'll shout back, top of the morning to you. (laughter) MARISHA: Would you like a coffee? I'd love to buy you a coffee. SAM: We've got-- free coffee? Yeah, yeah, I'll take it. Sure. Thank you. TRAVIS: You're being mighty fucking friendly. They were looking at our coin. MARISHA: Why can't they have been looking at me? Maybe they were looking at me. TRAVIS: I didn't think of that. MARISHA: Maybe they were looking at you. As Jester said, you're handsome. LIAM: Just-- LAURA: Yes? LIAM: Nott. SAM: He said "Jest". LAURA: I just thought you said my name, is all. MARISHA: Oh, I said your name. Oh, they might have said your name, too. LIAM: Never mind, never mind. Could I get another Trost over here, please? SAM: Two, please, right away. MATT: Eventually Adelaine comes by and brings two fresh Trosts to the table, glancing about at the unique tension in the air right here. "Would you like anything as well?" LAURA: Oh, yes. Lots of baked goods if you have them, please. TRAVIS: Pork belly, if you have it. MARISHA: I don't think I've seen you eat anything other than pastries. LAURA: I really like them. MARISHA: I'm kind of concerned for your well-being. It's fine, I'm not that concerned. Eat whatever you want. I'll have bacon, some ham, whatever. MATT: "All right, pork it is. I'll be right back." She rushes off to the kitchen. You guys continue to awkwardly stare at each other. LIAM: I'm going to put my hand up and say, quietly, to Nott, the Moneypot is not for them. It's not for them, it's for farmers. Okay? SAM: Yeah, you're right, you're right. MARISHA: Do we notice them whispering? MATT: With your perception rolls earlier? Yes. LIAM: But I said it really quietly. (laughter) MATT: She rolled a 22. LIAM: But she can hear my little whisper? MATT: No, you heard the whisper, you're not sure what the words are. You can see that they're whispering. Being mysterious. LAURA: Okay, cool. SAM: In Halfling, I'll say to Beau-- MARISHA: Beau for short works. SAM: Are you in town for business or pleasure? MARISHA: Can I insight check him, see what he's hiding? MATT: Make an insight check. MARISHA: Okay. What's my insight, I can't remember. LAURA: What is he saying? I mean you, you're a girl. What is she saying? Shit. That's really hard to remember now. SAM: You're asking me what I'm saying. LAURA: Yeah, what did you just say? MARISHA: 13. MATT: 13? I mean, seems to be genuine. Hard to read through all the wrappings, shadow, and the hood still obscuring the face. LAURA: Do you have the mask covering you? SAM: I think I do. MATT: Yeah, it's this porcelain covering that has painted lips. It's a little unsettling. LIAM: I mean, I'm sorry, not to be blunt, but, you know. It's pretty obvious goblins are not welcome strolling about. LAURA: She's a goblin?! SAM: Yeah, yeah, but you don't have to make a big thing of it, all right? There could be people here who don't know. LIAM: That's right. She's my companion, she's my friend. There's nothing to make a big deal about. That's why she's wrapped up. Just leave it, please. LAURA: I didn't ask why she was wrapped up. MARISHA: I know, we're not making a big deal out it. You're making a big deal out of it. LIAM: Somebody asked why she was wrapped up. LAURA: No, nobody asked. LIAM: Somebody said the words-- this is Liam-- "Why are you all wrapped up?" MARISHA: Oh, I asked if she was cold. (laughter) SAM: That's concern. MATT: As Caleb finishes oversharing. LIAM: Vaxleth is over. It's so over! MARISHA: Those are old times, man. That was a different universe. Different life. MATT: At this point, there is a bit of a commotion towards the entrance of the tavern. Two shadows step into the doorway of the nearish-noonday sun. The figures, one eclipsing the other from behind, begin to step in. You notice one of them begins to step from table to table, glancing about with a sort of grace to the movement, the other staying a few feet behind. Taliesin, if you'd like to describe your character, please. LAURA: I didn't think we were going to meet you so soon! TALIESIN: Neither did I. ASHLEY: I didn't either. TALIESIN: But here we are. A lavender-- damn it, Travis. A lavender tiefling with red eyes and very pierced, extremely ostentatious horns that are pierced with little gems and little baubles. He's got a tattoo that seems to be running up the side of his face, a peacock tattoo that goes off into his very ostentatious, ridiculous, overblown robes that he wears. His two swords and pouch dangling at the side of his hips. He's very broad in his dress. LIAM: So a literal and figurative peacock. TALIESIN: Oh yes. TRAVIS: One of your characters? No. TALIESIN: I know, mine. Who knew? MATT: As this tiefling darts from table to table, a few feet behind, you see-- ASHLEY: Wait, did you say your name? TALIESIN: I didn't say my name. ASHLEY: Okay. So there is a woman behind him. Taller than your average... lass. (laughter) ASHLEY: She's very, very, very pale-skinned. Her hair is black that starts to turn white as it gets longer. It's matted, it's dreaded, it's braided. Her clothes are a bit tattered, but just sort of-- she's a bit of a mess, and she has two different color eyes. One of them is a light greenish-blue, and the other is a violet color. And she's very standoffish, hunch-y, arms folded. MATT: You watch as these figures slowly move from table to table, the tiefling engaging in some distant conversation, leaving a slip of paper, walking to the next table. Gauging the atmosphere, not leaving a slip of paper, and quickly moving on, and then eventually your eyes meet what looks to be two tables with a very motley crew of individuals that are both awkwardly avoiding their own tension and currently trying to figure you out. TALIESIN: Can I tell if-- where are they in the dispensement of the coin? Can I tell they have a little coin on them? Did I catch any of that? MATT: They've completed distributing, so you don't see any coin, unfortunately. TALIESIN: Well. I don't believe I've ever seen a group of people more in need of a good time in my entire life. Mollymauk Tealeaf of the Fletching and Moondrop Traveling Carnival of Curiosities. If there was ever a group of people that needed a good time to go out, have a laugh, see things that you have never seen before, and my god, take my word for it, one month's time, people will be buying your ale to hear the tale of what you saw at the Traveling Carnival of Curiosities this night. LAURA: We saw your tent going up! We did! MARISHA: We were actually going to go without the flyer, but now we also have a flyer. TALIESIN: It's just five copper. A steal. At five silver, it would be a steal, at five gold? Worth every penny. But if you've got the five copper to spend, we would happily have you all. LAURA: Do you perform? TALIESIN: Ah. I'm less of a performer and more of an intermediary for these parts. I do on occasion perform. I can read fortunes-- LAURA: (gasps) I was going to ask if you read fortunes! Can you do one now? TALIESIN: I knew you were going to ask that. LAURA: (gasps) Oh my gosh, you're so smart. Look at this guy, he knows everything! TALIESIN: I'm going to sit down at the table. MATT: Okay. He goes and sits down at this table, finishing his presentation. One of the barmaids comes up to you, and looks up. You're standing almost a solid seven inches taller than her. "Miss, can I get you a drink?" ASHLEY: (deadpan) Yes could I have a drink, please. Just some ale. MATT: "Coming right up. Any preferences for the family? Baumbauch?" LAURA: Stay clear of Baumbauch. They're dicks. MARISHA: That's kind of true. ASHLEY: Just a big. MATT: "Husseldorf, then. All right. Be right back." And she wanders off. TALIESIN: Well. Who has coin for a fortune? LAURA: Do you know my name? TALIESIN: What is your name? LAURA: Jester. (laughter) LIAM: I take the last piece. MATT: As you guys are partway through your meal-- let's see, this would be Caleb. You notice out of the corner of your eye a gentleman enter the door looking kind of meek.
Middle-age, looks work-hardened. He has a heavy chin-beard that is unkempt and a bit wild, but his eyes are warm. He's holding his hat in his grip, and he scans the room with an eager glance before his face brightens, and he begins to push his way across the room, in your direction, it looks like. He scoots over towards your table, and as you're about to turn and see what he's about-- LIAM: I'm putting my hand on my purse. MATT: --he pivots to the table next to you instead. He turns to you three. (yelps) LAURA: We've just been sitting here this whole time! MATT: Yeah. You've met this man the day before, Rinaldo, the fisherman, who you had aided. And as he approaches, he goes, "Might I sit, please?" LAURA: Of course, take a seat. SAM: What's that? MATT: As he sits down in his chair, I would ask each of you to please describe yourselves, starting with you, Laura. LAURA: (Slavic accent) Oh, well, okay. I'm just, you know, a little blue tiefling, that's all, with blue hair. And I'm wearing a pretty cute dress, that's all. And I'm having a good time, you know? We're just having a good time here at breakfast. MATT: All right. And you? MARISHA: Uh, yeah. Yeah. I'm, you know, simple girl, simple needs. Just wearing nice, baggy clothes, some monk vestiges. They're in nice blues and greys. You notice I have a blue sash around my belt. Got a nice shave going on, little undercut. Looks like maybe I put on makeup two days ago, and I'm like, yeah, it's still holding up. It's fine. I can work with that. SAM: What's your name? MATT: We'll get to that. Thank you. And Travis, if you'd like to describe yourself, please? TRAVIS: (Texan drawl) Yeah, I'm here too. (laughter) TRAVIS: I'm a half-orc, sitting here in beat-up leathers. Have a big scar across my face. SAM: (sings 'Bad to the Bone') (laughter) TRAVIS: Green skin tone, and got some piecemeal armor put together and stuff. My name's Fjord. LAURA: You're very handsome. I just need to tell you. TRAVIS: Thank you. Appreciate that. MATT: As Rinaldo sits down, clutching his hat still in his hands, says, "I thank you for your "time. Fjord. And, I apologize, I forget your names." MARISHA: Beauregard. MATT: "Beauregard. And?" LAURA: Jester. MATT: "Jester, thank you. You all came when no one else would yesterday, and because of you my "daughter is still alive." MARISHA: Oh yeah. Sorry for being a pessimistic asshole, by the way, when we first came into town. MATT: "Oh, that's okay." MARISHA: I'm not used to things turning out good. MATT: "You'll do well this side of the Empire. Anyway. I won't keep you, but I-- we spoke "yesterday, and I didn't have much to give you. Sent you away with nothing but my gratitude. But "I've been asking around the other fishermen, lochsmen, and we've put together a little bit of "coin for your troubles, so." And he turns his cap over on the table, and this catches your attention, you hear this clattering of coin. Your eyes glance over, especially you, Nott, and watch as he leaves this pile of what looks to be mostly copper and silver pieces, with a couple of glimmers of gold, and as soon as it clatters across the hard wood table here in the center of the tavern, other faces begin to turn, gather attention as to what's happening over here in the back edge, and he takes his cap back and pushes it forward towards all of you, his dirty, you can see cracked and very callused fingers shoving it in your direction, before taking his hat and placing it back over his head. LAURA: So cool! LIAM: Those coins went all over the floor? MATT: All over the table. "I hope it's helpful. But thank you." MARISHA: Yeah, yeah. Oh wait. TRAVIS: We can't accept this, right? I mean, it's too much. MARISHA: We're supposed to at least say that, right? And then still accept it, right? TRAVIS: I think you're supposed to do it if you say it. LAURA: Well, I mean, he did go around to a bunch of people. That was a lot of work on his part. I would hate to make him go back to all of those people and give it back to each individual person. TRAVIS: Fine, fine. MARISHA: If he didn't keep a ledger, you know. We wouldn't want to do that. It's rude not to accept a gift, right? It's rude not to accept a gift, right? MATT: "I would hope that is the case. Anyway. Thank you very much. I am sorry for getting in "your way." And he stands up and gives you all a nod and rushes out of the tavern, a little embarrassed by all the attention that's now placed on him by the other patrons, and as he leaves, everyone goes back to their business, a couple of wandering eyes starting to count what coins are there as you slowly mitt them in your direction. LAURA: Divide it up. MARISHA: Okay, okay. MATT: There are four gold pieces amongst the pile, 22 silver, and 48 copper pieces. TRAVIS: Can I clock the room, see who else is watching her count? MATT: Perception check. 48 copper. TRAVIS: Is this the first roll? MATT: First roll of the campaign. TRAVIS: Natural 20. (cheering) MATT: And that's how you start it. All right. LAURA: So I'm leaving it to you to do that counting. Which is really hard for me, personally, but there you go. MARISHA: How do you split up four gold? We have four gold and there's only three of us. LAURA: Don't know. TRAVIS: Well, I actually did pretty good at that card game, so you can have mine. MARISHA: Aw. I will. Okay. LAURA: So two for each of us! That's great. MARISHA: Oh, that's good. One for you, two for me, two for-- oh wait, no, wait, math doesn't make sense. SAM: She's your treasurer? MATT: This is going to go great. LAURA: It's hard not being the treasurer. MARISHA: I'll give two to Jester, one for you, one for me. And then 22 silver, that's-- LAURA: Tell you what, you do that math. MATT: While you're counting this out and figuring out the division of your gains, Fjord, you glance about, narrowing your orcish eyes across the room, and you can see two other tables there are some gentlemen who are peering over, and as soon as they meet your gaze, they go right back to their business and completely shrink away. There's a man and a hooded figure at a table immediately adjacent to you. The man looks rather filthy, his hair a bit unkempt, and he's trying to finish his drink. However, the smaller halfling-looking figure is just glaring intently, and is slowly leaning in the direction of the table. TRAVIS: That's creepy. Fucking disgusting. I think we have people watching us. LAURA: Who is watching us? TRAVIS: Well, just take a look right over there. SAM: Don't arouse suspicion, but did you hear all that coin hit that table, Caleb? LIAM: I did. It's on the table, though, so I think on the table it will stay. SAM: Yes, but we could follow them out. We could do the Moneypot. We could run Rat Food. We could do Prince and the Pauper to get it from them. We could try Spider Eyes. Any of those could work-- LAURA: Are you guys staying here? MATT: This blue-skinned tiefling suddenly leans over to you at the table. SAM: Don't move. Don't move. Tieflings can only see movement. LIAM: I don't think that's true-- LAURA: It's very true, we have a hard time seeing things that aren't moving, it's very true. But I can hear you. You should take a bath. You know they have showers here. It's possible. LIAM: A what now? LAURA: You bathe yourself in water. LIAM: No, I've bathed before, yeah, I know what a bath is. LAURA: It's because you smell really bad, and it's wafting over this direction. I'm just letting you know. I would hate if I smelled that bad and someone didn't tell me. LIAM: I've only just met you. LAURA: Hi! I'm Jester. LIAM: Hi, I'm Caleb. LAURA: Nice to meet you, Caleb. How much silver did I just get? MARISHA: Seven! LAURA: Woo! (laughter) MARISHA: And 16 copper. Aren't you all jealous? SAM: Morning. MARISHA: Morning. MATT: Make a perception check, Beauregard and Jester. LAURA: Whoa. LIAM: Are you checking your DnD Beyond specs? MARISHA: I am, I'm adding my-- LAURA: 22. I haven't even flipped over my character sheet yet. This is crazy. MARISHA: 19. MATT: Okay. The somewhat meek female halfling who's now suddenly very reserved, and not as filthy as the human compatriot that she keeps, seems less and less halfling the more you Everything nowadays is on the internet and everybody these days is linked through net all through the globe and everything has develop into nearby.
