Wolf Pup looks the strange man up and down, and slowly nods, confused. “You are very gracious. I do not know anyone related to this ‘carnival,’ but perhaps I can help you look. I know nothing of the city and you seem to need an ‘extra pair of eyes.’” Wolf Pup does the same hand motions that Perry did, side, cross, back, side, and waits patiently for his answer.

"HA HA!" The big man throws his head back laughs a sincere belly laugh. He quickly stops though, embarassed. "Yer... funny." He looks everywhere but directly at Wolf Pup. "Let's go then." He says with a smirk before hurrying towards the tents.

As Wolf and Perry move to step up the stairs that lead up to the town from the shipyard, both are stopped by two of the town's guard. One male and the other female; both wearing the same outfit as the rest of the guards but each of them have a gold band of cloth wrapped around their right arms. The female guard is carrying a thick book and quill.
"Sorry sirs, don't mean stop you, but I'm afraid I'll need to ask you a few question before you head into town. Nothing too personal, I assure you, simply standard procedure Just need your names, the name of the ships you arrived on, and need to know your business within the city." She says, looking you both over
The roll still dangling from her mouth as she fidgets with her scarf trying to get it to keep her hair covered, her eyes glancing up towards her cloud like hair she collides with a solid object, and the roll falls to the ground. She stumbles back slightly and glares at the guard whom she ran into.
"Great, what is it you want?" her tone slightly irritated.

Wolf Pup bows, “Hello, I am Wolf Pup, son of Kigahara. I arrived to your grand city on the waves by the ship Banshee’s Wail. I hunt the monster who kidnapped me as a child, a dark creature of malice and hate. By my hand, I shall cut him down...” Wolf Pup stands straight once more.

The female writes down what he says, but stares concerned as Wolf Pup mentions a monster. She shares a look with the other guard, whose hands tighten on his spear.
"Oh, dear, sir, are you implying that there is a monster here in the city?"

Wolf Pup looks embarrassed, “Well, you see, I know that he has come to the mainland... but I do not know if he is here per say. So if you see a large blue ogre with teeth like daggers, please let me know.”

"Yeah, yes I'll let you know if we see a blue ogre, but maybe don't go around town talking about monsters. Now, due to the recent issues with smugglers, we will need to check your equipment for any contraband." She say motioning the two over to a nearby table.
"Just set down any weapons, potions, and bags over there. You''ll have everything back after the search and you can even watch us check it over."
As Fenchurch watches the scene he feels something grab him by the shoulder. Looking over over he sees a purple hand, following it up he is met by the familiar crimson eyes of his mentor, the lavender tiefling Mollymauk, in all his colorful glory. He flashes a smile at the gnome before sitting on the ground by the building next to them.
"Working hard, friend?" He chuckles, before handing over something to the gnome. It looks like a thin roll of bread, fried and covered in what might be sugar. The tiefling takes a bite of his own treat, before continuing to talk.
"So Fenny, been asking around and get this, the festival is called Verlichte Nacht, means lighted night or something like that." There's a crunch as he takes another bite of his treat. "Apparently, when the sun goes down, the people take all these fancy lanterns and send them out ta sea. And then, when all the lanterns are sent out," He mouth curls up into a wide, toothy grin as he leans in closer to whisper the last part.
"They have fireworks." He leans back still grinning.
"Me and Vippy are trying to pick out the best place to watch them tonight. Though she might end up just going off on her own; you know how she is."
"Carnival, huh. A very colorful lot they are, I'm not sure you'll fit in with them, but you're lucky you came now if you want tor try and join up with them. I heard that they're planning on leaving tomorrow morning. Same as with him, place your items on the table and you'll get them back after we check them over." She gestures to the same table.

Wolf Pup bows once more and removes a long greatsword from his side, two large handaxes from his other side, and a longbow from his back. He places each gently upon the table, “I trust your intentions.”

Perry shrugs his pack off of his shoulders and sets it where the guard indicated. He grabs his axe out of its loop and places it on top. He pulls a dagger from under the folds of his cloak and places it next the axe. Then, looking about as guilty as an opossum caught in a garbage can, he lowers his hood and unclasps his cloak and drops it in a heap next to the pack. He bends and starts unlacing his boots...

"Oh! No! Sir you can keep your clothes on. I just need to check your pack and handheld items, your clothing is absolutely fine where it is."
She sets the book off to the side and begins thoroughly examining the your items. Notably, she closely checks seams of his bag, opens and smells the content of your water skin, examines the hilt and pommel of the weapons, and she runs her fingers along the blade. She asks the man to hold up the weapon, as he does she places her hands in the air above the greatsword and both of you watch as for a split second her eyes light up with bright, purple, arcane energy. Finally she asks Wolf Pup to show her his right bicep. She rubs her finger along skin next to the shoulder, and seeing no difference, gives a nod. She notes everything down in her book, and give him a bright smile.
"Alright sir, everything checks out. I apologize for taking up so much of your time. Please enjoy your stay in the city of Brookhurst. Two rules before you step into the city itself, keep those weapons sheathed and no magic without a permit. Minor tricks are okay, but you can't go throwing around fireballs in crowded city streets."
Assuming Perry allows the same, she checks over his items as well and rubs the same spot on his bicep. She gives him the same warning and welcomes him as well. All items are returned to their owners.
As you two wait you can see several other guards with gold bands checking the crates that come off the ships before they head into warehouses.
Wolf Pup looks the strange man up and down, and slowly nods, confused. “You are very gracious. I do not know anyone related to this ‘carnival,’ but perhaps I can help you look.

Wolf Pup realizes that he has made a terrible mistake. He follows nonetheless.

Perry freezes and stands with his head down, daring not to speak first. After an awkward moment, he moves so Wolf Pup is in front of him.

"Great, what is it you want?" her tone slightly irritated.
The guard, holding their own book and quill, frowns at the tone of voice of the pale skinned woman.
"Name, name of the ship you arrived on, and your business within the city, ma'am." They say, curtly.

Perry stops his nodding to raise a questioning eyebrow at Wolf Pup.
He steps forward and says, "I'm The Pere... Perry. Name's Perry. Here lookin' fer work with the carnival." He quickly steps back behind Wolf Pup.

Her bright eyes peered back at the guards.
"I'll give you mine if you give me yours. Information that is."
She pulled her knapsack off her back she should've known there would be port guards.
She opened her pack and crossed her arms,
"I'm Dr. Jinn. I was on the Banshee Wails, I'm here on vacation."
She looked to the ground were the sweet roll lay. She grimaced and turned her gaze back to the guards.
It wasn't that good anyways.
