ooc .. I adjusted some groupings to account for:
Ice, Ariadne, and Wimplo will eat at the tavern (since they have the most gold) and listen for information. If you find someone "chatting for ale" -- you know what to do
The rest of us will eat from our own supplies of rations and water. Except Thorian, who has no food at all, Althea will share one of hers with him.
Shade and Airmed will seek jobs, Airmed with the animals.
Althea, Eissa and Ramsus will sneak around the bigger tents to listen for any tidbits of information.
Meeting back at camp within an hour or two, depending on whether or not Shade and Airmed get jobs, and if the Warrior group finds a "live one" to talk to.
Thanks for your patience you all! We are a much bigger group this time around !.. it takes a while to gather all the information to post in Party Order. (whew!) Please read it and let me know if I've made any mistakes.
=========================================
O.K. So, I think we got some good information from the Tavern. I have a few concerns. If this is the last show, we probably need to be prepared to follow it out of town after tonight's performance. I don't want to do that without all of my gear.
Now, just some rambling thoughts to discuss:
Maybe we should all reconsider our gear and set up a "camp" near the circus. Have one or two warriors or maybe all warriors guard it. Have the magician and some one else go to the show. Have a number of thieves walking around outside looking for strange activity during the show. Of special interest would be the tent where the magic show is performed. To make them look legit, they would need to play a few games.
Then, after the show we could follow the circus as it leaves town. My only concern is if all the activity takes place in the circus area, the warriors will be of no use if they are guarding the supplies. So, maybe we could search for a safe place to hide all of our stuff nearby. Or, we need to have one of the thieves prepared to come back to get us if we are needed before the show ends and the circus leaves town. They will need some time to break down their tents, etc., after the show is over.
Which leads to another suggestion. We could leave our gear at home as it is already and then the minute the circus is over run back get it and meet outside the limits of the circus prepared to follow them as soon as they have broken camp. Probably this is the best suggestion.
If we do that last suggestion, then I think we need to decide who will attend the show, and who will scout the outer games, etc., during the show. I think the magician (we have one don't we) should attend the show to see if any tricks can be detected.
Also the three that are hungry need to eat. So, they either need to go buy some food (if they have money) or make an attempt to go home and eat what they might find in their cubboards at home. We all have homes in the village, so it is likely we also have food.
Finally, we need to all meet back at the tavern area and discuss this future plan and then finalize what time we will meet to go to the circus, who will do what and where we will meet up to follow the circus once it is over. Edited: tenaheff on 12th Jul, 2004 - 5:28pm
OOC: Sorry, the weekends pose a bit of a problem for me as far as posting goes. It shouldn't be a problem in the future though.
IC: I'm in need of money, so I'm going to try and find a charicature artist to work for. I happen to be a skilled artist; people are vain and like having themselves painted in flatering ways. If I can't find a charicature artist then I will do carvings of people. As I paint or carve the people I will talk to them to see what local gossip I can pick up.
I dont think we should set up a camp next to the circus, thats silly. It dosnt take us that long to get our stuff, the circus is in town. I think we need to find the magician who is casting the "last act" and question him. Just a friendly questioning. If we send the airmed into the circus its possible she will be killed or she wont remember and feel "good" She is no different than any of the villagers. I think we need to be direct, and go to the source. We should try to get as much info in town as possible, and if we need to fight or kill we should wait till they leave town like tena said, and do it. No killing in town
I think Fun has a good point about trying to find the magician who is performing the act. That is one of the things I have in mind with having people walking around outside the show. They might be able to see the magician hanging out outside the tent waiting to enter.
As far as our magician being susceptible, if it is drugs this is true. If it is hypnosis and you are aware that it is going to happen, I believe you can take steps to prevent it. However, that isn't really my decision to make. :-)
