As per usual Swigg arrives to his gig at the fair late and drunk. His manager yells something at him as he takes the fair's main stage and begins to riff on the national anthem. 

Performance 15

He feels good about what hes laying down. It does not occur to him that he is naked. To be fair it was not his fault, his clothes were stolen by moonlight revelers. 

Ebrius, Adaire welcomes you, produces your (un)necesary paperwork and directs you to her mother.

Grianne at the fair you see people dressed in elaborate costumes and wearing masks. That goblin is performing on the stage and people are attentive, some cover their gaping mouths as though the style of his music were a terrible affront to the song and their sensibilities, yet others openly cheer, either for his unique rendition of a familiar song or for his outfit (or lack there of).

Marvarax and Sora walk back into the tavern, smiling and holding hands. Telling a few jokes and laughing before Marvarax heads back to bartending "that was great, Harmond I really owe you man. Honestly, I should have done this before, thanks" Marvarax seems in a great mode 

What an odd place. Eldin, is this some kind of celebration? why is that goblin naked and...you all that singing right? Grianne is quite bewildered and clings close to Eldin.

Eldin tries to explain what a fair is to Grianne. "This is called a fair. it's kind of like a festival where various people gather and have fun. They walk around, buy stuff from the stalls, eat the (overpriced) food that's being sold here and enjoy various forms of entertainment available here. The exact kind of entertainment may vary from fair to fair. Some common types of entertainment include singing, puppet shows and games." Eldin puts a hand in his pocket where he keeps all his gold so that it becomes anyone to pickpocket him. He then turns to the elf with him and says, "These are also places where pickpockets steal people's money. Keep a good eye and and a firm grip on your valuables." He then looks at the naked goblin's "singing" and cringes before saying, "Er... looks like one of the... entertainment available here is... singing. As to why he's naked though... I have no idea." 

Harmond responds to Marvarax, "Well, I'd say I hate to ruin your good mood but in all honesty, I really don't. You owe me more than just that. Two guys in grey helmets showed up after you left. Said they were from House Macham and were looking for Sora. Acted really friendly with them and gave 'em two free ales to really sell the helpful friend act. Told 'em I didn't see anyone named Sora that fit their description. Asked them where they were staying and they said they're leaving town since neither you nor her are probably here. I'd still keep my guard up just in case. You owe me two elvish ales for that."

The color drains out of Marvarax’s face, before a distaste full look takes his lips “House Macham, god damnit. I thought I had finally gotten away from those bastards, what did they look like, more then just the grey helmets”

"Sorry mate, but they pretty much covered their whole faces with helmets so I can't tell you. Other than that, they wore black leather armor and grey capes."

Marvarax takes his place back behind the counter “damn, thanks for telling me at least. I’ll probably stay here for a few days”

Whats a puppet? Also, you said games? Can we go play them ? Grianne is getting a little excited and isn't hiding behind Eldin anymore.

"We can probably play them if they have them here. We'll have to go look. As for puppets, they are kind of like dolls with movable parts and strings attached to them so that they can be made to dance or move their limbs about."

Eldin looks around for any games or puppet shows.

Perception: 25

Eldin come on a small stage, though it's quite large for a puppet show. Men in black stand on a riser behind and operate marionettes. Some seem to be working the strings if your at once but one in the center looks like a dwarven boy made of wood, too young yet even for a beard. The little wooden boy seems to sing a song about freedom. 

"I've got no strings 
To hold me down 
To make me fret 
Or make me frown.."

(And then a Warforged Named UI_R0N leaps onto the stage to join in on the musical number!)

(You I are zero en?)

You el _ are oh en. Throw a T in there and you got Ultron.

That this is possessed ! Grianne does like the demon possessed puppet monster on stage.

"I don't think it's possessed but whatever."
