You finally make your way to festivities and your senses are completely overwhelmed. You see men juggling, breathing fire, rolling around on large balls. This is like no celebration you have ever seen. As you attempt to look for Father Antonio, your eyes keep getting pulled in every direction. If he is here, he is lost in a see of fascination. (Perception Roll - 5)
Tuli
As I move into the crowd I keep my eyes open for Father Antonio but my gaze is pulled and drawn from side to side. I see a glint of gold, the fire breathers flame reflecting off the hilt of a sword, then a flash of white, the edge of a large tent door flapping and moving in the wind. I keep walking forward, following the flow, until I am stuck within a bundle of people all pressing to enter the already full Big Top. “Tyler Rapid is going to preform soon!” I overhear a young boy say, “He is the greatest!”
You reach the north side of the tent and have yet to notice any fish. You lean up against a post and begin to scan the crowd.
I am thoroughly dejected by the lack of fish thus far. That will not stray me from my duty. I clench my maul in my one hand as I continue to inspect anyone going past my checkpoint. "I will find fishys and get bonus. Come little fishy come play with Sven."
You look through the crowd and spot a female hill dwarf with cropped, wavy, auburn hair shaved on the left side. She seems to be stumbling around, but you are not sure if that is due to the ale in her cup or clumsiness.

I walk up to the dwarf and ask quietly "Pssst, want to make some easy money? See that man over there?" I motion towards the robust guy guarding my mark. "I need you to distract him for me, make sure when I give the signal he is completely oblivious to everything happening around him. I don't care what you have to do, push him, shove him, spill beer on him, flirt with him, doesn't matter. When its time for the distraction I'll telepathically tell you 'now!'. How does 1 silver sound for your payment?"
I move towards my mark slowly trying to stay hidden, I wait for her to get in position...
A man walks on the stage with a bullhorn, "Ladies and gentlemen, of all appearances and proportions! Please quiet down and join me in welcoming to the stage...the beloved, the exceptional, the man himself...Tyler Rapid!" The crowd irrupts in applause as a hooded figure on each side of the stage begins tossing back and forth small fireballs over the stage. Each time, the glow changes a different color, casting an entrancing light show on the roof of the tent. A man begins to step out from the back of the stage, his head lowered, face masked by a hood. He walks to the front of the stage and throws the hood back and his arms up high, embracing the cheers as multicolored fireballs fly overhead. Tyler whips a lute out from behind his back and begins to play...

The female dwarf heads over to the large gentlemen guarding the robed man and begins talking to him. Moments pass, and she turns about and points at you, the mountain of a man looks in your direction and continues to speak to the dwarf. As she finishes speaking and begins to stroll away, the man stares directly at you. He keeps his gaze up until multicolored fireballs start to fly throughout the tent. He quickly snaps his head to look in the direction of the fireballs.

As I move into the crowd I keep my eyes open for Father Antonio but my gaze is pulled and drawn from side to side. I see a glint of gold, the fire breathers flame reflecting off the hilt of a sword, then a flash of white, the edge of a large tent door flapping and moving in the wind. I keep walking forward, following the flow, until I am stuck within a bundle of people all pressing to enter the already full Big Top. “Tyler Rapid is going to perform soon!” I overhear a young boy say, “He is the greatest!”
I continue moving through the crowed trying to catch a glimpse of Father Antonio. The light from the fire casts strange shadows and reflections on the faces around me.
"This is it!" I throw the smoke-thing at the middle of the stage and walk quickly towards the stage. My pace quickens as I approach, first a casual jog, and then a full on sprint as I approach. I reach the edge of the stage and start to take a leap up onto the stage....
As the giant man looks at me, I look at him for a moment, pause then give him 'the nod'. As he keeps staring at me I slowly shift my face to look a little bewildered as to convey confusion as to why he keeps staring at me. The moment his gaze shifts to the stage I start following the dwarf girl who outed my plan trying to stay out of sight of the giant man and the dwarf girl. I'm looking for a brief moment she is distracted, I want to steal her coin purse for crossing me.
A large smoke cloud fills the front of the stage, slowly filling in around Tyler Rapid until he is no longer visible. As the mist expands, it makes contact with one of the fireballs above, immediately igniting the entire cloud. As the fireball grows, the tent above catches fire. Screams can be heard near the stage as people begin to run in terror. The once mostly peaceful crowd is now a sea of chaos. People pushing and shoving, trying to get out from beneath the tent as the fire quickly spreads to the rest of the roof.

You manage to throw the "smoke-thing" down on the stage, and it quickly begins to work exactly how you thought. As you leap onto the stage, a bright hot light hits your face; you are thrown back off the stage and onto your back. (Dex Save: 14)

As you make your way towards the female dwarf, you find the most fitting time to snatch her coin purse. Quickly bumping into her, she snaps around and yells at you, "Just what in the hell do you think you're do...." a large blast from the direction of the stage draws her attention away from you. This brief distraction allows you to get away with her coin purse and make your way back into the crowd. (Acquired: 1 Coin Purse) (Slight of Hand: 14)

"Looks like show start. I still no see any fishy." Maul in hand I continue to watch the entrance making sure no fish come through.
You continue to stay on guard for fish. As a new group of travelers enters the tent, you get a strange odor of fish from them. As you turn to investigate further, a massive fireball erupts from the stage, catching the covering canvas on fire. (Perception: crit 23)

I continue moving through the crowed trying to catch a glimpse of Father Antonio. The light from the fire casts strange shadows and reflections on the faces around me.
A slight part of the crowd allows you to catch a man matching the description of Father Antonio. You begin making your way towards him until a massive burst of light and heat stir the crowd into a panicked frenzy. You hear screams from every direction. People begin to shove past you in a rush to flee, crashing into you. With all of the chaos, you lose sight of Father Antonio, but you still know the direction he would be. (Perception: 20)

I begin moving through the crowed quickly using my size and strength to adjust people out of my way. “Father Antonio!” I bellow in his direction. The fire is growing across the top of the canvas tent but I press forward doing everything I can to reach and rescue him.

As I collect my self the the thought that I won't get to outperform Tyler burns into my head, almost as much as my body is feeling the burn from what I can only assume is Tyler's shoddy pyrotechnic display spectacularly failing. Then the thought occurs to me: I don't have to punk down Tyler, if I just hop back up on stage and save the people, I'll be an even bigger hero! Everyone will love me! I leap back onto my feet and jump up to the stage again....
I quickly put the coin purse into my pocket and quickly rush back to where I last saw my mark. I'm searching for him frantically, 'This distraction is exactly what I needed!'I think to myself.

My prey before my eyes, suddenly a fire demon erupts upon the circus. (Intelligence check: crit 18)
"I always membar faces.." I continue to glare at the people who smell like fish, for a solid three unwavering seconds. I drop my bag, maul in hand run inside to render aid. I emit an intimidating shout as I enter the tent, "WALK NO RUN ORDER NOW" at the fleeing crowd. I move my way past the crowd rushing in, looking to render aid to anyone, or a culprit.

Holding your breath and pushing thru the smoke(Con Save: crit 21) you make your way to the stage without even the slightest amount of smoke getting into your lungs. As you reach the location where you would have laid down the best performance in the world..you realize how dire the situation is. Civilians are fleeing in every direction, some screaming and flailing their arms. A couple of feet down in front of the stage are two unaccompanied children cowering in fear.

As you head back towards where you last saw your mark, the smoke begins to thicken. Lucky for you, your hight advantage leaves the smoke a couple of feet above your head(Con Save: 13). You find your mark(Perception: 17) laying on his side on the ground with his guard kneeling over him. As your eyes scan your mark, you spot a black curved dagger plunged into his back, however, his satchel is still by his side.

With a couple of heavy coughs, you are able to push through all of the heavy smoke(Con Save: 20) and begin to issue orders to the civilians around you. A couple of them thank you gratefully and will surely remember your good deads(Fame: +1). After they begin to head out of the tent, you spot two children who look like they are in dire need of assistance.

I begin moving through the crowd quickly using my size and strength to adjust people out of my way. “Father Antonio!” I bellow in his direction. The fire is growing across the top of the canvas tent but I press forward doing everything I can to reach and rescue him.
You make your way through the crowd and smoke to where you first saw Father Antonio. Looking down, you see him lying prone on the ground not moving. Close inspection reveals a curved black dagger protruding from his back. There is a man in armor down on one knee attempting to tend to the father, making sure he is not trampled in all of the commotion.

I say out loud "Man this is some really heavy shit, Tyler really ****ed things up at this performance, I gotta do something" I leap down and try to scoop the children up and try to carry them out. "I'm saving you!"
"Shades, this makes things more difficult" I think to myself as I rush up to the guard standing over my mark. "What happened?!" I exclaim to the guard, "You were supposed to protect him!" I say as I bend over the dying man to investigate what happened.

I rush forward to where Father Antonio lays and position myself beside the man in armor tending to him. As I come over I see the Halfling man approaching as well "You were supposed to protect him!” I hear him yell over the chaos. I use my size and shell to help block the flow of the crowd from trampling the two men, “The temple of Pelor sent me, what can I do to help?” I say to the man in armor.

Rico would like to look around for a drunk, boisterous, large fellow. Someone who would do a good job a creating a scene/distraction.
