MATT: Okay. Frumpkin keeps watch. The Watchmaster, as you heard him notified earlier, turns to the rest of you. "So. The investigation will begin. If any information comes to light that could "alleviate you of the charges brought to this carnival, come to me and let me know.
If you have "no answers before we complete this investigation, then I believe you all will fall into the judgment." LAURA: Next time we don't help. That's what it comes down to. MARISHA: I know, we got paid the first time we helped, and then we got arrested the second time. I don't know what lesson to learn here. SAM: Just say okay and let's leave. LIAM: Yeah, yeah. MATT: So the guards escort you out of the tent. Molly, you're stuck behind with Gustav and Bo the Breaker, with a guard of five Crown's Guards set to keep watch. As the rest of you are sent to the city, the Watchmaster turns once more and says, "Remember, you flee, I'll find you." And that's where we'll end tonight's session. SAM: No way! What? No! I want to keep playing. TALIESIN: I'm so excited, this is great. LIAM: It's a good spot. ASHLEY: We did it, we did it. TRAVIS: Holy shit this website. LAURA: We have to get Molly out! SAM: (sighs) Everything's better with Molly. (laughter) TALIESIN: Truer words were never spoken. MATT: Well, guys, welcome to the new campaign. Season two, I guess. LIAM: Oh my goodness. MARISHA: It feels so weird. SAM: Look at these cool Wyrmwood cases that we have! MATT: Fucking Sam. I swear to god. MARISHA: I used 100% new dice. No repeats from Keyleth. TRAVIS: Yeah, totally new dice. TALIESIN: I kept the Gil die. LAURA: I used some new dice. TRAVIS: What are you talking about? LAURA: Some new dice. MATT: I used this beautiful little-- TALIESIN: Fuck you. MATT: The Snitch is mine now. LIAM: Look at all the 20s Taliesin rolled tonight. MATT: I know. Oh man. I'm excited. SAM: Such cool characters, guys! MATT: I'm excited to see where this goes. SAM: I still don't know what half of you guys are. What's Travis? MATT: Everyone did something that revealed them tonight. SAM: I don't know nothing, I don't know how to play D&D. MARISHA: Should we all say in case you're Sam and you don't know? TRAVIS: I'm a ballerina. MARISHA: He's a prima. MATT: Well, guys.

LAURA: She's really shy, though, and I hear she only talks to tieflings, so you should probably send-- MATT: "Stay where you are." LAURA: --my brother along, because he's really good with that stuff. TALIESIN: Try not to stab any random people on your way there, Flynn.
You're doing good. MATT: "My men tell me that the rest of you helped destroy these fiends. Is that correct?" ALL: Yeah. MATT: "Then on behalf of the Starosta, I appreciate your aid. But until this investigation "is complete, you are all under investigation from us. Where are you staying?" TRAVIS: The Nestled Nook Inn. SAM: Nested Nook. MATT: Nestled. He got it right. SAM: Oh, shit. One letter. God damn it. TRAVIS: I have an intelligence of 14. I know what I'm doing. MATT: "Do not leave this city unless you are told otherwise. Should you do so, I have your names, "and I can have the full might of the Cerberus Assembly track you down. You. Flynn. Free this "girl." While you all stand in the tent, Flynn approaches you and walks a little bit behind you, weapon drawn but at the side. Do you lead him out of the tent? Okay. So you walk through the performer's flap, and as you walk out, you can see backed up into the number of tents that are set up, and some of the carts, other members of the circus are hiding, and as soon as you exit out the front and they see you before the Crown's Guard, they all immediately scatter and vanish to the nearby shadows, out of sight. The two of you walk out into the center, the fire crackling in a small pit off to the side. "All right, where is this girl you speak of?" ASHLEY: She's in the back in the tents. MATT: "Show me." ASHLEY: Follow me. MATT: He follows you. Which tent do you lead him to? Over here? Okay, there's a larger tent, as he walks by your side, there's the flap that's slightly open. SAM: God, you could seduce him. ASHLEY: Go get her. She won't talk to me. She's too scared of me. MATT: "All right." Gets his weapon ready and walks into the tent. ASHLEY: I close the tent and I take off. MATT: Okay. There's a few moments before, in the distance, you hear a voice say, "The tent is "empty. What are you talking about? Hello? Helloooo?" (laughter) MATT: And you don't look back, and you just run into the darkness of night, into the Marrow Fields and disappear. SAM: But that's so mysterious. LIAM: While that was happening, I'm close to the edge of the tent, and at some point I just (snap) and summoned Frumpkin. I have a 30-feet outside the tent, so Frumpkin's out there. "I had a gut feeling that you were nothing but trouble when you came into our town." Gustav turns around. "I guarantee to you, my friend, I have no idea--" "What happened here?" The Crown's Guard who's been shaken turns around and goes, "Sir, Flynn.
There was a creature. This carnival "seemed to create some sort of terrible entity that killed and then created a secondary beast. I "watched it with my own eyes from the back row." And the man turns back towards Gustav and the rest of you. "And who else saw that?" TRAVIS: We did. LAURA: Well, we saw an old guy turn into a zombie. But it's possible that he just died because he was old, and then he had the zombie curse on him and just turned, you know? Because that happens a lot. TALIESIN: (deadpan) Gustav, it's no use, we've been found out. Our terrible plot to make a zombie rampage through our carnival has been discovered. Whatever will we do now that we've been discovered for our brilliant plot to make a zombie ruin our circus. My god. MATT: Flynn turns to you and goes, "Put your weapons down or we'll arrest you immediately!" TALIESIN: I'm literally holding nothing but my hands. LIAM: I mean, I'm sorry, but we're basically a group of strangers. Most of us don't know each other. We all have the same story. There was a show, an old man became a thing, and we helped destroy it. This one destroyed it. What more do you want from us? TALIESIN: It ruined our show. MATT: Flynn turns back and says, "Watchmaster, what should we do?" And the man with the helmet under his arm walks forward, walks to Gustav, gives him one look over, still a few inches shorter than him. Looks at him with a sense of purpose and social status that has a sense of disinterest and disrespect. "You, sir, and your orc, and your circus, are considered currently "under arrest. Who else belongs to your merry band?" He looks about the rest and Gustav goes, "The orc." Glances back at the two of you and goes, "The rest of them are just purveyors of our "performances. He was just joking earlier, right?" Make a deception check. SAM: Oh boy. TALIESIN: Nope. MATT: "And you are also under arrest. The rest of you, what are your names?" LAURA: Shirley. SAM: Temple. (muffled laughter) LIAM: Caleb Widogast. MARISHA: Beau, same as him. TRAVIS: Bo. (laughter) SAM: I am Bo! TRAVIS: You pointed at me. MARISHA: I meant the NPC Bo! But it works! ASHLEY: Here's the thing. Oh, it's Mary by the way, but I think I know who might know what has happened here. MATT: "Do you? Tell me." ASHLEY: I'll have to go get her. MATT: "Who is this?" ASHLEY: She is the singer that made this all happen. MATT: "Flynn, escort this woman to retrieve this individual she speaks of." Flynn nods and walks over towards you. |
