I went to sleep and woke up in a bloody carnival. No ticket, no explanation. Just some Host insisting we were special guests.
How flattering.
First, a maze. Got chased by wolves, found the exit, and collected a ticket. I of course, with the help of Val's parfum, got first place.
Next, a room full of mirrors. Two of them decided to grow teeth and impersonate Yvlrich and Valkorian. We smashed the imitations. Pebbles had a little episode in the middle of it, but we managed.
Then came the grand finale. Lions, a beast master, a knife juggler, and the Ringmaster himself. Apparently, the carnival's idea of entertainment is throwing everything at us and hoping we die laughing.
The knives were irritating. The Ringmaster was worse. I helped keep Valkorian breathing, then put my greatsword to better use. We fought until the Ringmaster finally came apart like a cheap balloon.
The crowd cheered. The Host declared us victorious.
Then I woke up in my own bed.
No prize worth mentioning, just a few tickets. No answers. Just another night stolen by something that thinks itself clever.
Next time, I'll bring a sharper sword.
Just in case the show runs again.

A pumpkin girl invited us to a parade. Naturally, she took us into a dark forest instead.
The food at the tavern was decent. The company was fine. The invitation, apparently, was a trap.
Wasps, centipedes, wolves, and zombies came crawling out to greet us, and that girl triggered them of our location! Of course, we dealt with them, though Fae decided the forest needed a little extra warmth.
Then we retreated to the tavern, with an unexpected side effect from Fae's trigger happy spells.
No parade. No explanation. Just another wasted evening. Though the lady sells merch in Dawnport this season
Still, next time a pumpkin offers to hold your hand, Yvolres, try asking where she's taking you first.

We came for training. Got attacked by spider webs.
Then a horse and its rider came.
Then smoking bombs appeared.
Then ice blades.
Then the party gang up on a running wolf.
Lesson learnt. Don't group to be easy targets. Abandon your party. That or the Tank would abandon you first.

We found a cove full of frogs and a strange little creature called King Shoom, wearing a mushroom on his head.
Cute.
We then reached a goblin camp. Shu and Mary Jane went to find treats for King Shoom while the rest of us dealt with the guards.
Two goblins were sleeping.
I approached. My armor woke them. Then Lucian beat them up.
So much for being quiet. The entire camp came running.
Yvores and Lucian tore through them. I joined in whenever I could, though the bastards managed to knock me unconscious.
Twice.
Annoying.
Still, we killed them all, took the treats, and left.
Somehow, Lucian was left behind because he wanted a 4h rest. He'll manage.
The important thing is that we won.
And there was plenty of blood.

Where:
Party:
Yvores, Lucian, Mary Jane, John Le Foque, Bonnibelle
Elaya's Sratches #1
Dragon Lady Shu asked us to deliver food to her sisters’ village. Simple enough.
Then six wolves attacked us on the way. Yvores nearly died, so Mary Jane had to bring him back before he could meet his grandpa.
Then we found a broken bridge and had to carry the food across ourselves.
The forest beyond was worse. Fog, necromantic magic, skeletons, zombies—and a suspicious merchant who disappeared when we refused to help him.
We eventually reached the village, delivered the food, and learned there was a safer route.
Of course there was.
At least everyone made it back alive.
