'Oh, ya don't need to worry. I've been living in sewers for my whole life. Was raised by rats, it's basically the only life I've ever known. And the only life I want. Ya think that's gross?'
<No, I’ve just spent some time in the sewers, and my experience was a lot worse. Back east there was a family of giant rats who thought I was a perfect meal.>
Flint notices there is a chunk missing from Nehir’s left ear.
Picking up his pike and running a hand through his hair, the tiefling enters the tavern. “Uh, hi. Where am I?” He asks awkwardly.
"Two story tavern." A man with no legs eating a sandwich says
“…Okay. Who are you?”
"Names ozzy. I make things, currently prosthetics."
“That’s cool. I’m Spectacle. You haven’t seen a carnival around here, have you? Because I seem to have lost mine in transit.”

'Dang, sorry to hear that. I've never had any trouble with the rats. To be honest, the biggest threat to me as a kid was the humans. Pest controllers, city guards, thieves, thugs, man, even some of the other street urchins seemed to have it in for me'

You guys are awesome and mean so much to me. And mean so much to each other.

Flint is pretty creeped out that the Sugarman is in town, but also strangely nostalgic, as it is one of his few remarkable childhood memories
The local candy man, Wilson Sugar II (his excuse is that his father made up a fake name for the company and gave it to him) approaches. He's been in town for only a couple of days, and has been making a killing selling penny candies in bright colors. He's just as nervous as everyone else though, but people have begged him not to leave so that hey'll have enough candy for the Sugarman.
Wilson looks like some sort of mythical creature, drawn by a child and made into a cake by an expert baker. He's clearly some sort of construct, although no one knows who created him. The creak of his candy-laden wheelchair/shopfront pulls Flint out of his thoughts.
"Hey, bud. You need some more candy for the Sugarman? I'm selling at a discount: 3 candies for a copper."

<Thank you though. I haven’t seen any of them here though, so I think I’ll stay at the tavern. Maybe they need a cat to hunt mice. Are you friends with the mice too?>
'Um, yeah, sure. Got a lot of doors, need a lot of sweets. Ya ever seen the Sugarman?'
"Heh, no. He was around way before I was. All I know about him is what I've been told. Turns out, he's not included in many books due to his unusual nature. Most people think he was a myth, despite his 12-year reign of terror."

'I saw him once. He reached through a drain to try to tempt me to go to him'

"Holy... what did he look like? Most people don't survive close encounters with him."
'I just saw a hand. A long pale hand, reaching through the grate towards me'
*yes, Flint is not thinking to say that the hand was reaching downwards, and not that Flint was in the street and the Sugarman was in the drain, which is probably more expected*

"That's pretty scary. They say he goes after his old victims who escaped. Here..." He hands Flint a big bag of random candies. "Free of charge."

<Neat. Well, I’ll be seeing you. Nice meeting you Flint!>
*I love the thought of Flint chilling with a group of rats and raccoons.*

'You really think he's going to come after me? Thanks for the free sweets!'
'Wait, if I put sweets on the manhole covers, that's basically telling him I'm here, right? Would it be safer to just pretend I don't exist?'
