Seeing that the genasi is not the creature that he’s looking for, Wolf Pup removes his hand from his hilt. Bowing, he says, “My apologies. I mistook you for another. However,” He stands once more, “You say that there is a fortune teller here? Do you know where he has gone?”

As Wolf Pup calmly goes from "murderous intent" (in her opinion) to "friendly querying," Tangle stands up, tilting her head quizzically. Then shrugs, and relaxes, smiling. "We are well met, then Dr. Nephele Jinn." She sketches a little bow, perhaps a little saucily. "You may name me Tangle."

After a few awkward moments Boulder returns; he is carry another man on one of his shoulders. As they get closer to the group you all can see that this new man is very thin and much shorter then Boulder. He wears a fine, royal blue suit and top hat that his hands is currently clutching onto to it to prevent it from flying off as Boulder hurries toward you all. When he stops the man, he doesn't really jump, but steps off and floats down to the ground in front of you all. Now that you can see him the man before is a pale skinned half-elf with shoulder-length black hair. He fixes up his tie, dusts himself off, and looks at the group before him. He examines you all very curiously, his eyes lingering on the two strangest of the group; the blue-skinned Dr. Jinn and Bug Crunch who is currently helping himself to the remains of the stew before he looks back to Boulder.
"This is them?" He asks, his voice to smooth and heavily accented. Boulder nods. The man turns back and claps his hands together.
"Well alright then, Hello everyone! What a pleasure it is to meet you all! I am Stark Marr'veil! Owner and ringleader of the famous Marr'veil's Marvelous Marvels, the greatest show in all of Terria!" He then moves his hands in an arc while releasing a shower of bright purple sparkles as he speaks.
"Now normally I would absolutely adore entertaining guests, but I am afraid you have caught me at an inopportune time as our show is currently in the process of preparing to move to a new stage somewhere else in this magnificent world of ours. Sadly, we do not provide private shows, though that might be a rousing business opportunity I should look into. But, before I get ahead of myself. Boulder, our lovely stone friend over there, has told me that you are looking for something? Or someone? He left out quite a bit of details when he scooped me up in the middle of packing up my things so excuse me, but may I ask you all directly; what exactly is it that you all want?"
Wolf Pup bows quickly, “I seek answers. She said she is looking for a mollymauk that tells fortunes. Is it true that you have such a thing? A bird that tells fortunes?”

Sitting on the bed you wait there for Molly. A few minutes pass and he still hasn't shown. You do here the thundering footsteps of Boulder pass by as he runs by the tent. You here a distant yelp from one of the other tents and then Boulders footsteps race by again.
Marr'veil looks confused for a second before there's a flash of recognition in his eyes.
"Oh! You mean Mollymauk Tealeaf. Well, first, Molly isn't a bird he is a tiefling. He does tell fortunes though, one of my finest diviners. What do you want with him?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Fenchurch sat on Mollymauk's cot, getting increasingly more nervous. After a few minutes, he had run out of other explanations; Molly wasn't coming back home, at least not now. Around this time, he heard the familiar, stupidly loud footfalls of Boulder. Moving quickly too, something near common nor easy for the large man. The steps stopped briefly, then resumed, preceded shortly by the sound of someone yelling quickly. This was strange, and after what he had seen today "strange" was not something Fenchurch felt comfortable ignoring. He leapt off of Molly's cot and ran towards the sound of Boulder's footfalls; hopefully his large friend was running towards something that would give him some answers.

Tangle steps up quickly. "We have a long list of things we are looking for, and the thought is this diviner can help us find them." She begins ticking off on her fingers. "She," pointing at Dr. Jinn, "is looking for an explanation of a future-telling, he is looking for a blue giant that steals babies, Bug Crunch is looking for... well, bugs to crunch. I think. I am looking for vanilla. Perrance is... well, I'm not sure what he is looking for. And I believe you are looking for a blue covered wagon."
She glances back at Barbara, and ahead at the gnome coming up behind Boulder. "And that may not be all!" She smiles disarmingly at them both.

Wolf Pup considers for a moment, “That is strange. He holds the name of a bird, yet is not one. However, that is not my concern. It is as the elf says, the reason I now seek this man is that he could lead me to the beast that I hunt.”
but may I ask you all directly; what exactly is it that you all want?"
Standing up and putting her foot on her crate, Barb takes a look around the room before placing her hand on her face to direct her voice toward Marr'veil "WANT TO GET DRUNK!!?"
She tries to rally the onlookers, waving her hands and smiling, pointing towards Olivia's Ale.
Tangle turns full around to look at the barbarian, considers, then says, "She makes a compelling case, with the waving of her arms and her enthusiastic smiling. I am inclined to go 'get drunk' with her, though I doubt your drink has much to compare to Fey spirits."

Marr'veil stands there trying to process to odd group of people here.
"Well, I haven't seen any giant blue baby eaters. I don't have any vanilla and I'm sure you could find bugs pretty much anywhere you want to eat them. But, if you are seeking out Mollymauk I don't believe he is here right now. Last I've seen of him was earlier in this morning when he said he was going into town. Boulder have you seen him?" Boulder shake his head.
"Hmm. Does it have to be Molly? I have another diviner if your so focused on having your fortune told." At this point he notices Fenchurch; he grabs him by the shoulders and pushes him in front of the group.
"In fact, here he is right now! Fenchurch these strange folk want to have their fortunes told. I'm sure you lot will love him, quite the soothsayer this one is. Fortunes never fail to please the crowd. Dear boy, would you mind helping them out? I have a feeling I'm going to need to talk to someone about Vip's drinking habit." He gives Fenchurch a little nudge forward, before he walks off to Barbara.
"Hello there, aren't you a vocal one. What do you have for me here?" He asks as squats down and peers into the box. He rifles though it, taking note of whats in it. He waves Boulder over.
"Ale. And something labeled Trollblood. Bet Molly sent it for Vipna. Can you carry to one of the wagons? And keep it out of her reach for right now." Boulder slides the
"Thank you so much for bringing this here, Hon. Here for your trouble." Marr'veil presses four silver pieces into her hand.
To Jinn as he passes by.
"Look around darling, we're standing in a open field with thin tents. Not really anywhere private to go. Plus after traveling with the same people for several years privacy is pretty much non-existent. Why? Is something wrong?"
Upon receiving the silver, Barb looks at Mar'veill blankly. "Are these my wages or Olivia's payment? We didnt really iron out the details. If they are my wages, I'd return them too you so that my new friends and I may have a drink."
Barbara looks toward Perry and Tangle "Hey you two, think this guy should sell us a drink?"
She winks awkwardly at the human, like it was a strained movement, something learned but never practiced.
"Your wages, a little something for your troubles. I assume Molly has already paid for all this or you wouldn't have delivered it. As for the drink, well..." He pauses and looks around.
(At this time you all notice that the halfling, Vipna, has vanished from view.)
"Well at this point the ale isn't mine, but our resident binge drinker's. She's very possessive of her poison and I'd rather not incur her wrath. Best to ask her. She'll pop up again when there are less people about."

Jinn stared ahead of herself at what looks to be an orc.
"I'm sorry, I have no idea who you are, I am Dr. Nephele Jinn of Sayiokina Village on the island of Kigahara."
She shifted her gaze to the small woman.
"And please quit acting like I am a threat."
she returned her focus on the orc.

Jinn stares at the bird for a moment as it squawks and eats stew.
oddly cute this one.
She looked as the creature referred to as Boulder returned with the half elf on his shoulder.
Listening to him introduce himself she remained quiet and cautious, unsure if she was safe from the evil that chased her.
She tamed her hair as much as she could and hid it under her scarf.
"Can we go talk elsewhere? Maybe a more private setting please?"
Her whispy voice for once sounding concerned.
