You all take whatever lessons you asked for. Please record it on your sheet, there is no immediate benefit but it may come in handy later. No one took 2 so that leaves us with about 15 minutes before time 6 for whatever you wish to do next. I believe it is heading over to the teapot (I mistyped before. There are no teacups here).
A twenty-foot-tall teapot rests on a wooden platform, its painted surface whirling with moving imagery of flying dragons breathing streams of bubbles. A door at the base of the teapot allows entry to its interior; those who enter emerge from the spout enclosed in a bubble that detaches to float off across the carnival. Seven goblins sits around the platform, sipping tea from mismatched porcelain cups.
As you approach, the goblin closest to the entrance gestures to a sign reading
The word that you intend to say, Try saying it a different way.
"Welcome to the giant gnarly tree knot. Entrance costs one punch of your bramble thicket. Enter and emerge from the freshwater trout in a bubble to steak and kidney pie over the carnival to enjoy the view."
As he punches your ticket, he also passes you a pouch, "For playing my little candle flame, here is a graveyard shift of killer bee that offers some protection"
The pouch is a pouch of [Tooltip Not Found].
You climb in and are enveloped in a magic bubble that floats up through the teapot’s spout and into the sky, granting wonderful aerial views of the carnival. If you wish to try and control where you end up, roll an acrobatics check (DC10), otherwise you will land at a random location. In total, you are in the bubble for just one minute before it pops and you float gently to the ground.
Hoping to land back where his companions are standing, mouths agape, staring at him ride a bubble, Moneo takes the pouch (what was it?) and says, "Well...we have people to help us distract the Misters, but we still need a way to get the watch. Any suggestions? Maybe go find the Kenku and see if he will join?" Then assuming the others agree heads towards where they know they Kenku is waiting.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The pouch is Scatterleaf Tea, which it turns out is not listed in the magic items. Description in spoiler
As an action, a creature can scatter these tea leaves on the ground in a 5-foot-radius circle, duplicating the effect of a protection from evil and good spell that lasts for 10 minutes. To gain the spell’s protection, a creature must stand in the circle of tea leaves. In addition, a cup of hot, delicious tea magically appears in the protected creature’s hands. A pouch contains enough leaves for one use.
You try to control the bubble but it is just too slippery. You end up popping and floating down in the... 10 (A 6 in case this gets flagged)
Feasting Orchard! Music and mirth radiate from this park. The heady scents of flowers, mead, and berry pie waft through the air. Stilt-walkers pluck fruit from trees; musicians drum, pipe, and strum; and everywhere there is singing, dancing, and an inordinate amount of custard. A faerie cake eating contest is running repeatedly, where for 1 punch, you have the challenge of eating as many faerie cakes in 60 seconds as you can.
On a swing from the branch of a pear tree is a gnome, plucking the strings on her lute, seeming to be watching you more than she watches anyone else. (image below)
(seeing as her image comes with the description of her being on the swing, they could at least have put her on a swing)
If the others followed the bubble, she is watching all of you. If not, they are all where Moneo wants to get back to as that is the area the Kenku is waiting.
Looking at the eating contest, Moneo thinks it looks fun, but not really his style. Maybe his orcish friend would be more able to dig in. Knowing that he can get back to his companions soon, since they seem to be in a trance, he pulls out his pan flute, and though he's more of a talker than a musician ((performance 22 +2 if proficiency with the instrument gives it...), meanders over towards the gnome blowing a few notes to match her tones and says, "you here with the show? or just on your own?"
Barreknar tries to follow the bubble as it floats away afraid that Moneo would get lost, not that Barreknar knew his way around but he figures its easier to navigate back on a path you traveled vs flying over all obstacles and trying to find your way. That was until Barreknar saw the faerie cake eating contest. Seeing Moneo had landed and is attempting to talk to some new stranger Barreknar thought he coukd do a quick 60 sec face stuffing contest! "Uhhh 1 ticket you say, and I get to eat as many of those as I can? What do I win?"

"Greetings Moneo. I am here on my own. Though there is always a third option like you, who is not here on your own, or with the show."

A fairy answers you "Why yes. As many of those as you can in one minute. The prize is a magical cupcake that can turn you invisible for an hour" (mechanics described in the spoiler)
A contestant can swallow a cupcake in about 3 seconds and safely eat as many cupcakes as 3 + its Constitution modifier; for each additional cake eaten, the contestant must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or take 1d8 custard damage. Subtract custard damage from the contestant’s hit points as normal. Any contestant reduced to 0 hit points by custard damage is unable to continue, loses the contest, and has custard splattered all over them. At the end of the contest, all contestants regain the hit points they lost from taking custard damage.
To work for pbp, I would say roll on the game log and roll your own damage to see how many you can eat. If you manage to eat 20 (the max in a minute) you automatically win, otherwise I will compare your total against some npcs I will roll for.
Barreknar grins has he waits for the starting signal, maybe a little to excited. He starts to choke on a few of the first ones he ate but his pushed through and kept going. With about 4 cakes remaining, the last one he ate started to fight back, he needed a drink bad and the cakes weren't going, or staying down very easily. He stuffed the 20th cake in his mouth just as time was up, clearly not doing well to hold it down, the crowds eyes were on him, and he was about to let "free" food get away and he pushed himself to gis feet hoping the moment would help get it down. He raises his fist in the air in celebration, just assuming he had won! "Uhhh anyone got a drink?"
Fascinated by the sight of his comrade eating so many cakes, Dravos stands there, mouth agape.
When Barreknar asks for a drink, Dravos replies, "Unfortunately, not. I also lack the ability to conjure sustenance. The best I can do is create an illusion. And well that will do very little to quench your thirst.
I once met a fellow who was able to conjure the most exquisite food and beverage. Unfortunately, we lacked the time for me to learn the necessary spell.
Anyway, where should we go to next?"

"Greetings Moneo. I am here on my own. Though there is always a third option like you, who is not here on your own, or with the show."
Moneo stops playing and looks at the gnome in surprise, thinking for a second before saying, "It seems you know more of me than I of you. What is your name? And what is it that brings you here then?"
"I amEllywick Tumblestrum, and I am here for you. Don't worry, you are exactly when and where you need to be. And by that I mean at the carnival tonight, not stood here talking to me at this minute."
"Well met Ellywick!"Moneo says, continuing, "So... if you're here for us... and you know us, and that we're in the right place... do you know of our plans concerning a certain watch? It seems like a strange plan... but we have somewhere we need to be, and getting it seems the only way to get some information. But we're still not quite sure about the getting it part... any way you can help?"
FYI - I'll be afk for the next day or so, but should be back and posting again soon after.
"Oh, I don't know you. I was aware of your name and description. And I knew you had to make it here to get to Prismeer tonight, so I made sure you had tickets available. Between those you have talked to at the carnival, you have everything you need already." she strums on her lute, listening closely to the notes, "I hear, a certain Kenku has a skillset that might be useful, and you seem to be on track to be tonight's Witchlight Monarch. Whether that helps with your plan is yet to be seen."
“Me?! The Monarch?” Moneo blushes. “Now I’m even more glad to have met you… ah! By chance, are you the one who left the tickets for us with the goblin at the entrance? Either way. Thanks for the vote of confidence. We were just about off to find our feathered friend to get everything ready.” Moneo then pauses before heading off and asks, “hmm. If you know of our trip to Prismeer… can you tell us anything of what we might expect to find there?”
“Teach me how to act, perhaps it could help me when I should be disguised as someone else.” Revelry says.
Dravos shrugs his shoulders, "Well, I guess that resolves that issue then."

((oh cockney rhymes... I've tried to understand where it all comes from before~))
Moneo pauses for a minute to think and says, "ah ha.. yes yes.. Coming out of the trout for some trouble to see what this place holds!"

"Do step divide and see where the green peas will blow you. Or are you just here to read a book?" and he holds out his ticket puncher.

Dravos considers stopping to read a book, but then thinks that the group would be best off to stick together.
