WHERE'S THE CIRCUS? Oh that's easy. It's right over there. Can't miss it. You can smell the cotton candy from here. Just follow your nose. Just kidding. Time to ask around, but since there's been a crime it's not going to be easy to go in. Let's pass 3 DC18 Persuasion checks.
WHO DUNNIT? It's time to track down the kirra. We're going to need 5 successful DC18 Investigation or Insight checks for this one. Failure means we have no idea what we're doing. Are we even in the right tent?
THE KIRRA IS FOUND! A massive skeleton comprised of other little skeletons rampages into the circus! Everyone go ahead and take a turn doing as much damage as you can. I will make any saves required. We're looking to do 50 damage combined. Failure means the skeletal giant kicks our butts and we have to flee.
Ecko, both hands absolutely smothered in sprinkles and crumbs of leftover baked goods, opens his beak and emits the loud sound of a dragon roaring he had overheard one time in the Savalier Woods!
Intimidation: 7
Ecko shrugs his shoulders and straightens his back after the sound of a shrill whistle escapes his vocal chords instead of the desired sound effect.
Though her face is seemingly pleasant as always, there's a palpable menacing aura surrounding Ysabell and her scythe is warped and twisted in a way you haven't seen before. "Fine." was all she replied.
Ysabell turned to the others after their second failed mission and said a bit tightly, "I think this might be a sign that we should not be helping this pack. Though I do not enjoy leaving them to their own devices, Pharasma will decide what fate has in store for them. I suggest we complete whatever other business we have here before returning to Candlekeep. I still need to find a way to cure the blight and I've already taken too long as it is..." Though still angry and frustrated, her mood was not quite as menacing as it had been earlier in the day.
"I'm thinkin' yer right, Ysabell." Garmus replies. "Those Jackanapes are goin' ta have ta figure it out on their own." He grumbles, arms crossed, the cookie high long past gone.

Brushing cookie crumbs out of his beard Garmus looks at the group. "It's on ta dead people I suppose?" He asks, taking the last swig of his milk.
Oh my god, how many cookies did you eat? Eralynn looks at Garmus amusedly, still working on her third cookie. Or fourth. Dead people then? The circus?
"I wasn't countin'. Bakers dozen maybe?" He says and lets out a belch.
Eralynn wipes cookie bits off her face after Garmus burps. She gives you a look as if to say, YOU'RE a baker's dozen.

Thank you, handsome young man!

So, how'd you guys do?
"Don't even ask." Garmus grumbles, pouting.

Eralynn took a step back from Ysabell as nonchalantly as she could.
Ysabell turned to the others after their second failed mission and said a bit tightly, "I think this might be a sign that we should not be helping this pack.

Eralynn looked up at everyone. So, do we want to continue? Or eat more cookies?
"I'm thinkin' yer right, Ysabell." Garmus replies. "Those Jackanapes are goin' ta have ta figure it out on their own." He grumbles, arms crossed, the cookie high long past gone.
"Yeah, eff this." Raastin said. "Ain't nobody got time fo' dat."
