Tindal, the man in the top hat, looks to Amira, Gustav, and Nos. “So, do you fine folks want a tour before the people start pouring in?” He puts an arm around Gustav, grinning. “No offense, son, but you look like you could use it. Being deep in thought like you seem to be is just odd at a Carnival. Let your mind go for a bit and have some fun!”

(Sighs) Well... I guess I don't see a reason not to.
Tindal grins, gesturing to the many people setting up stalls and attractions. “Look at all of this, my friend. This is a place of wonder! So..” Tindal excitedly hops out of the wagon and takes a few steps back, before holding both arms out. “Welcome, gentlemen and lady to The Carnival! Get out your coin purse with those coppers and silvers at the ready because today is going to be something you’ll remember a life time!”
As Tindal starts to turn to have you follow… he frowns as a second set of carriages pulls up beside the tents of the Carnival, and starts to set up stalls of their own. But.. he turns and regains his cheerful demeanor. “Come, my friends, and see the Carnival in all its glory! For you, since we saved you lot, it’ll only cost you one copper to see the attractions early!”
Amira chuckles at the reaction of the others as the tents are set up with magic, having seen something similar in her own travels as a performer. She happily follows Tindal, nodding at the price as she hands him enough copper pieces to pay for everyone if they are interested. "So are there any musical attractions?"
“Silessa would probably welcome a bard to make her snake dancing more lively.” Tindal chuckles. “You’d be given a cut of what she makes. If you’d like to go find her, she should be in her tent.”
“But there are a few that don’t require aiding another. Heck, you could even start your own and start traveling with us, dear. Got any… special quirks about you?”
“But there are a few that don’t require aiding another. Heck, you could even start your own and start traveling with us, dear. Got any… special quirks about you?”
I... well... I can... 'transform'... in a sense....
“Well, if you ever need a place to stay with people who will accept you, come and find us.” He stops at a stall being run by a red skinned Tiefling woman. “Lev, do you thing.”
The woman, apparently named Lev, looks to you and smiles. “Who is willing to try one of the first great tests of the Carnival?” She gestures behind her to hands, positioned with fingers pointing to the sky. “These hands belonged to Zombies from Falkovnia, but they still move. Your objective, for one copper, is to get these rings..” She gestures to rings on her stall made of metal. “Is to get these rings on their hands.. but watch out! They will try and stop you - and may even throw them back!” The fingers promptly wriggle.
Zerxes silently re-joins to his fellows at the exact moment when the Tiefling woman "takes the stage". He looks at the zombie hands with a mix of disgust and disbelief. "Well, I feel myself a bit too clumsy for this...game. But, I'm pretty sure we have some volunteers for this among us." - he smirks and look at Nos.
"Well I was more hoping to here music from others but I can play if you really need the help. Although my expertise is not truly in music." Amira says as she moves to pull her lute from her pack, beginning to tune it incase she does play.
"For now I shall merely observe but if a chance to use my talents presents itself I shall add them." Amira said as she finished with her lute and replaced it on her pack.

“Willing to stay with us then, son? Become a permanent member of The Carnival?”
N-no thanks, kind offer, but I've got... other things that I'm doing

Tindal smiles at Amira. “And what is your expertise in, lady?” He asks with curiosity.
"Mostly using my wits to make coin from people that are rather gullible." Amira admits with a shrug, not bragging but not ashamed of herself either.
“You’d make the perfect Carnie then!” The man chuckles.
"True but then I would have to share my earnings with other people. I am rather greedy." Amira says with a chuckle as she continues to tune her lute.
“Nothing wrong with that. You can help out the troupers if you like… or have some fun with the carnival games like Lev’s here!”
"For now I shall merely observe but if a chance to use my talents presents itself I shall add them." Amira said as she finished with her lute and replaced it on her pack.
Gustav will beckon the rest of the party away for a tad to try to talk to them without the carnies hearing.
