Madryck listens to all the questions before he speaks. "I assumed you would want to know more. I will try and answer as much as I can, but even I don't know everything. Firstly, with me being unable to contact my patron, it leaves me less powerful than I was before, and so any items I have that might benefit you, I will be keeping hold of for my own safety. The favours I hold are of no use in the feywild, and I'm not going to pay you before you go, in case you change your mind.
Zybilna is like a fairy godmother to mortals. She created the carnival as a way for people to reach her an beseech her aid. I myself went 64 years ago so it likely has changed a lot in those times. It was run by a pair of Shader-kai named Mister Witch and Mister Light who I believe still run it. When she presents herself to mortals, she usually appears as a statuesque woman with long white hair and a small tattoo of a chickens foot below one eye."

"Prismeer is a domain of delight where she resides in the Palace of Heart's Desire at the center of the domain."
"A chicken foot tattoo under her eye?"Moneo says, thinking back. "That... ya know... when I was just a kid some bullies were pushing me around and a woman showed up to shoo them off. It almost sounds impossible, but I would never forget such a unique tattoo... It seems you've called the right man to help!"
“Tall, white haired woman with chicken foot tattoo under her eyes. Somehow that reminded me of Mrs. Thatcher. When a plague hits the Shou-town in Thesk when I am but a child, she came to the orphanage, a traveling doctor is what she claimed to be. She cared for me and several of my friends for tenday and we started to recover. If this is Zybilna then I have a debt to her that I need to pay.”Revelry shares to the others as the description triggers a memory he had from a long time ago.
"Never heard of a Zybilna before. By I have seen one with the white hair and chicken foot stamped under her eye. She returned a chicken she had stolen. Said she had found it lost in the woods, but Dinner never got lost in the woods so I'm sure she was going to steal her had the woman not stumble upon our hut. I figured she really must of been into chickens. Dinner was a good chicken." Barreknar still feeling like he's a step behind the other, not knowing much about the fey other then its existence.
"Have... we all had experiences with Zybilna?"Moneo asks, amazed at the coincidence. "Is it possible she has singled us out? Or is she just helping many people? Either way, a being such as this deserves to be checked on."
“And what about you, ser? Did you ever come across someone resembling Zybilna too? If yes that would be the most interesting coincidences that all of us have run in with her. Like what Moneo says it might even be on purpose.” He says to the pale man.
”Is it on purpose Mr. Madryck, that you pick the four of us based on our history of unknowingly ever meeting her?” He turns to the old man again.
Dravos thinks for a moment about the conversation at hand, "I think you may be right. It seems that we have all had experiences with Zybilna in our past. Perhaps she knew that one day we would all be standing here discussing how we must go save here."
Davros then turns to Madryck, "Is Zybilna known to possess the gift of foresight?"

“The secret we should never let the gamemasters know is that they don't need any rules.” ― Gary Gygax
"She is known to be wise, but I haven't heard anything explicit about foresight. From what I know of her, I wouldn't be surprised if many more people have been helped by her. It is one of the reasons I am concerned to not hear from her." Madryck then just as surprised as the rest of you that you all had seen her in the past. "Any more questions before you go? If you miss the carnival, it won't return to this plane for another 8 years."
"I would not presume to know how the form the portal currently takes, or how protected it might be. There will be those at the carnival who know, not least, Mister Witch and Mister Light though I am not sure they will be the easiest to talk to or get information from. Exploring the carnival will undoubtedly be the best course of action. I recall tickets were not too expensive. I believe less than 1gp. Depending on how much you get up to, you might need more than one ticket as they give you access to a limited number of attractions rather than unlimited goes throughout the night."
"Well then, off to the carnival it seems!"Moneo says with a smile on his face. "I do hope that we can return to you quickly and with good news! For the road, to keep our spirits up, may I perhaps lighten your supply of this, it seems Fey to the smell, liquor? We Fey do know how to enjoy ourselves, but a bit of good drink can certainly help to lift the mood."He then looks to the others to see if they have anything further to ask before heading out.
Revelry just nodded at the man as he seems to be just as surprised as all of them.
“I see, be it coincidence or foresight, it seems we are meant to be the one helping you to find this patron of yours.”He said standing up, taking his rucksack back onto his shoulder.
“The carnival is still three days travel from where we are right? Let’s get this going then shall we, might as well not lose another time.”He said towards his new companions then look towards Madryck again.
“I’ll expect a pumpkin pie when we come back, heh? Stay safe then old man.” He does a little curtsy towards him before heading out of the door.
Davros speaks up once more before speaking, "We know that the carnival is three days away from here. However, where exactly will find the carnival? Could you provide us with a map? It would also be quicker if we had horses to ride on."

Rising from the chair, Barreknar adjusts his belongings to be back in traveling setup. "Yeah, I'm ready for the rides! What kind of food and ale do you think sell there? Prizes? What kind of prizes? Best mission ever!" Barreknar happily strolls out of the house, excited to see the carnival.
"Just head east. You won't miss it. I'm afraid I have no horses, and I'm not sure they will be able to follow you to the feywild either so walking might be best. The carnival arrived 3 days ago, and stays for 8 so you should make it there with plenty of time. It runs from dusk to dawn so I suggest on the third day you rest during the day."
Madryck listens to all the questions before he speaks. "I assumed you would want to know more. I will try and answer as much as I can, but even I don't know everything.
