Andrick nods sharply. 'I spoke the truth to them - I won't leave without answers. How do we get leverage, Burly?'
"hmm well, Mr. Witch has a watch without which the carnival can’t stay on schedule...the problem is that the big top extravaganza was the best moment to snatch it, that's the only time where he is not with Mr. Light...there's another event at the end of the carnival where mister Light's Vane (the scepter) will choose the witchlight monarch but after that event they'll start to wrap things up and we'll leave to the next place. Witch and Light have no control over who the monarch will be, but it’s always the guest who has contributed the most to the happiness of the carnival. The monarch is also given a charm that lets them fly." After explaining Burly's expression remains worried as if he is betraying someone he looks up to.
Andrick looks around the group, his eyes searching. ‘I think we have our goal then, improve the mood of the carnival, and look for other opportunities too.’ then he recalls something extra ‘Do you know anything about the saboteur, Burly?’
Hazel face lights up « fly ? » she repeats. Flying would be amazing, her wild magic did strange things to her but never flying. She seems to be lost in her thoughts for a while but then comes back to reality.
« Sooo, borrowing his watch to have leverage. Humm, why not. I do have a cupcake that could help. Who is the best here to sneak around and ´borrowing’ things ? Does he keep the watch always on himself ? »

Andrick looks around the group, his eyes searching. ‘I think we have our goal then, improve the mood of the carnival, and look for other opportunities too.’ then he recalls something extra ‘Do you know anything about the saboteur, Burly?’
"Yes, some of us have heard about that. The problem is that we haven't been able to know if this saboteur is just one person or several, everytime some of us shares any news about it the looks described are very different, palasha swore that she saw a middleaged dwarf, Candlefoot had an encounter but lost his voice after that, he still managed to share that he saw a tiefling."
((if you want you can also make an investigation check to try to find any suspicious looking visitor, if you make the check you'll character spend an hour searching the carnival, regardless of a success or fail in the roll. Finishing this conversation will have you at 5 hours. Considering the time that it took to meet the owners, the time that burly had to separate you to discuss this matters away from Thaco)

“If you want to try that keep in mind that Mister Witch’s watch is attached to his waistcoat by a chain, so whoever tries to steal it needs something to break or unfasten the chain.”
"Yes, some of us have heard about that.

Hazel continues "Or, it could be one person that knows magical ways to disguise themselves. Yoli, you know a spell to detect magic auras, correct ? Could you then see if someone is hidding with magic ?"
Stepping forward, Yoli clears his throat and says "Thank you for your expression of gratitude for our positive influence on mood of the fair today. Since you have noticed our role in helping keep things happy, I wonder if you two are aware of the presence of a saboteur? We have witnessed a couple of mishaps here that seem to have resulted from foul play. Myself and my friend Nuotrin here witnessed a strange looking girl wearing a pig mask attempting to abduct an innocent fairgoer. In another incident, we noticed that one the riding dragonflies was spooked while a patron wasn't safely strapped in yet, which nearly resulted in injury. I like to think of myself as a fairly adept investigator, and my friends here have many other useful skills. Perhaps you would be interested in putting us to use?"
(( I believe this was meant for the owners, so we'll squeeze this dialogue just before they went back to the wagon.)) "I speak for the both of us when I say that you shouldn't be putting youself in danger...we have people taking care of those situations, like Peppermint and her mentor" Says Mister Witch
"Yes, some of us have heard about that. The problem is that we haven't been able to know if this saboteur is just one person or several, everytime some of us shares any news about it the looks described are very different, palasha swore that she saw a middleaged dwarf, Candlefoot had an encounter but lost his voice after that, he still managed to share that he saw a tiefling."

Hazel continues "Or, it could be one person that knows magical ways to disguise themselves. Yoli, you know a spell to detect magic auras, correct ? Could you then see if someone is hidding with magic ?"
"Yes, I think that's a good idea. Perhaps I should take a tour around the grounds with detect magic active." With that he begins to ritual cast the spell, and once complete, he strolls around the grounds looking for any magical auras.

Yoli pipes up "I won't say why, but I have actually had quite a bit of practice with "relieving" people of objects of value. Invisibility would be great, but I'm actually quite proficient with sleight of hand and deception. Figuring out how to break the chain is the sticking point as far as I can see"
((Everyobne who is participating can make a performance check, it'll be a performance check, those with proficiency in the skill will count as two success - but just one fail if they don't meet the DC ))

Peppermint has been very quiet throughout the negotiations, the deliberations, and the planning. Now she steps up, mask still in place. "Look, we probably need two teams. One to investigate, the other to make merry at the Carnival. If the investigators don't find anything out, winning the Monarch may be the best chance to solve this."
Then she seems to waver, unsure about which team she'd want to be on...
« Very well, so we can continue our visit - with Yoli scanning for magic. Let’s make this place an happy place. And tonight we steal the watch. » Hazel start to walk back to the park, while casting minor illusion in the way to entertain all the children.
Peppermint stomps along beside Hazel, her body language indicating she's annoyed (probably at her suggestion being ignored) but it's hard to tell with the mask on. Her good mood seems to be wearing off a little? She turns her head back and forth like she is looking for something, and occasionally nudges Hazel to point her attention somewhere or another.

edit... oh my god the rolls... I guess Hazel is more into blasting firworks with her magic than investigating :D
