Welcome to Legends of Adventress. What a do? The name's Cremely Crew, and you're listening to Once Upon a Witchlight. Here's what happened last time. Says, I got bad news. What? We flat broke.

Again? A total of 100,000 gold pieces owed to Mr. Gru by end of month. Yeah, how much does everybody have? We have two gold pieces. You pull it off of the job board, and you see Lost Warlock patron. Madrick Rosloff's Arch Faye Warlock Guild. My warlock patron Zabylna has been lost to me for some time now. I am seeking out an adventuring party willing to travel into Prismere and uncover her whereabouts.

I can offer grand rewards. Meet me at the giant pumpkin patch to the south of town, if interested in this quest. You found my... I made that by myself. Oh, it's very much. Nice. Does your green child need to boost your seat? My green child.

Yes, the green child with the very large dog. Oh, you mean Grico? No, no, no, no. This is actually a goblin. It's an adult man. As fate would have it, the witch-like carnival is in town. It was created by Zabilna's away for mortals to enter Prismere. if they wanted to beseech her for her help.

Is it already been eight years? You found yourselves in significant amount of debt when Remy Guru decided to collect on what he believes he's owed for the, is it defection, is that the word? Derlection. Derection. Yeah.

Yeah. It works. It works. Yeah. This led your group. to take drastic measures, and you for the first time did something that you never thought you could. You went to the job board. It was there that you found an old notice for one Madrick Roslough, a warlock that was looking for help finding his warlock patron, an archfay named Zabilna.

He was offering treasures untold, so you made your way through the swamps outside of Agway, until you found. his large pumpkin patch. Having conversations with him, you felt that he might be true to his word. And if you were to make your way to the Witchlight Carnival, there could be a way into the Faywild, into her realm of Prismere,

where you could attempt to find Zabilna and confirm that she was safe and unharmed. That's all he requests for you to have hundreds of years worth of adventuring, monies and almost a dragon's court of magical items, gold, and the like. With your tickets in hand, you made your way once again into the swamps outside of Agway, heading towards where Cremie believes the witch-like carnival to be. It was very clear after some travel that the veil between the Faywild and the material plane

started to thin. This confirmed you were in the right direction. Some shenanigans, ensued, but you were able to make your way towards the outskirts of the carnival, where the sounds of screaming pierced the jubilant, the jubilant music of the carnival. You found a fay, a fairy whose wings had been ripped from its body. Before her passing, she mumbled some ominous words to you about someone who had done this and that you should be afraid. Prismere was not safe. She returned to the earth from when she came, and in a somber mood, all four of you made your way to the entrance of the carnival. It's difficult to look up at the carnival after what you've just witnessed. The sounds echo through the night sky, the sounds of a calliope. The beautiful musics help to soothe the pain

in your soul. But looking at this place, the bright colors, the jubilence, it's hard. It's to imagine stepping through these gates and feeling anything but sorrow. And yet you do. You step under the archway that leads towards the ticket booth, and I need you all to roll a wisdom saving throw. Oh. Oh. Mm. Mm. Mm. Really, starting off the night hot. It's a natural one. Oh. That's not hot at all, currently. And remember the last session, I was. They didn't roll above a 12. It's the dice. 17.

I cursed them. He really did. Five. 17. I will join you in the 17th. All of you are immediately overcome with a sense of peace and calm. You remember the feeling of holding that poor Faye being in your arms,

and you know that that was a horrible situation to be in. But that sadness that was lingering on you and clinging. to you feels like it has slipped away. And though this is something you remember that has happened to you and you understand that it was traumatic and difficult, you don't feel that same sense of sadness any longer. Instead, does shock phase? Yes. Does the curiosity about the mystery of what had happened also dissolve?

You're still curious about what happened and you, I would say, all make a mental note that that is definitely, those are things to keep in mind. Those are things to remember. They will be important. There is something going on in Prismere. Who is the person that did this to her? But the somberness about you has faded, and you feel neutral.

You look up towards the carnival, and you've just entered into this thoroughfare. The ticket booth sits in front of you. You look around. The first stars of night twinkle above the apricot sunset. Giant dragonflies were overhead, trailing streamers and a low mist curls over the ground. Through a floral archway you glimpse wondrous and vibrant creatures,

elf stilt walkers, dancing fairies, and painted performers. Everywhere there is laughter, pixie dust, bubbles, and the wistful tune of a whistling calliope. In front of you, you see a ticket booth. A silver statue of a dancing fairy is mounted on the roof of this ticket booth and surrounded by fluttering butterflies. The booth is decorated with an animated depiction of the night's sky, with shooting stars arcing across it. An elderly goblin perches behind the ticket counter, peering at you, quizzically through a spyglass.

He lowers a spyglass and calls out to you. I can't remember what voice I used. And I really want to do Chalfon. I don't think he said any. He never said. He did? He did? He did?

I don't even think we got to the carnival last time. No, it's me, Grico. Hello, fellow Gold. Oh, it's good. Gricho! No, morning! is Gras. Oh, Deney Femd is not a joke, he can take it!

This is real DMing, folks, or you forget what voice you were going to do for your NBC within the first ten minutes of the session. Perhaps you never left the carnival, and this is the real original, Graco, and you were cloned and sent out to the world. You're at peace, you're at peace. We're all feeling is very neutral. Hello there! I met a sailor and he said, he said, drowning with agony. alone. Are you talking about Skirby Dave?

Oh, Scurvy Dave! He said drowning was agony. How would he be able to say that? He would have drowned. That doesn't make any other paradox. I mean, that's a good point. I mean, do you believe anything you hear? Well, you can drown and get resuscitated. Drowning doesn't imply that you have to die. Well, Scurber Dave also spent all of his time lying to you. His brain was probably... He wasn't thinking right.

he was, the brain was rotting from the scurvy. Yes. Very sad. But I, for some reason, don't feel that sadness at this time. Oh, yeah. So what I will say is the effect that you're under nullified your emotions, you're not under a perpetual, you can feel happiness and joy, et cetera. It was just, whatever might have been plaguing your mind before you stepped in, it put you in a neutral state.

Would you care to join me in a game of Area 51? We can shoot the red barrels are special. You get power up from those. I was going to go to the Jurassic Park. It's like a Jeep. Oh, does it move up and down inside the sign and roll? Oh, no, it's not that fancy one. It's like a low-budget one.

Okay, that's fine. I'll still enjoy it. It's Frost and Grigo on their first date. At the boardwalk. Yeah, I'm wrong. Do you want to get one of those stupid T-shirts? it says something beechy on it. I'm with stupid.

I'm walking bar de French fry. Oh gosh, I have a peanut allergy. I don't know. I brought my epipan. You're fine. Can we play some fucking yeah, yeah, yeah. We haven't made it to the fucking booth.

God. A lot of new friend Hello there Greetings fairgoers You have your tickets on you Of course we do Of course we do absolutely I have one right here

Sure do This is the ticket you meet Passing my way passing my way We're gonna have a good time here Yeah Perfect Hold on hold on one second All right

All right everything One two three Hold on just give me a second I do have a ticket I swear I swear No yeah no we don't saw it right No, we just saw, you know, you got, um, Mr. Rosloff gave you a ticket, or saw you put it in your breast pocket. Yeah, reach that off, and I started, like, reaching around.

You put that ticket. You put in your breast pocket. No, your other best pocket. I'm not checking every pocket. Um, wait. Okay, did I give it to you for safekeeping? Oh, maybe. Was it? This one?

I'm not sure this is an end game joke or not a game. Oh, yeah. No, yeah, you were back, all right? Yeah, try and slip it to him. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, you can get it. Yeah, I got to go. Cremere, do not do, do, do me here.

What are you trying to say? Oh, children eat free, right? No. Oh. Hootsey. Do we need to buy two tickets? What's going to happen if I turn this? Are you asking about a ticket for your owl bear?

Yeah, for children. That's an owl bear son. Excuse me, she's my daughter and she's a lovely little girl and she is going to be the, the, uh, the princess of the, uh, what was it? The, the Witchlight Carnival. The Monarch? The Monarch, something. The Wishlight Monarch? You think your Albear's gonna be the Witchlight Monarch?

Could she do tricks? Yes. Oh, she's got a pretty good chance of being in the witch-lap-labor? Oh, how do you hear that? I'm gonna win you so many prizes. Well, lucky for you, a child ticket is only three silver pieces.

Peyton, man. Can we have one second? Oh yeah, we're gonna talk. What's gonna happen if I try to pass this off as mine? Is my head gonna like turn into a bouquet of roses or something? I imagine he may have magically inspected the ticket And if he recognizes that it's a duplicate and that you're trying to cheat him,

he might try to magic you to death. Okay. Oh, don't do that. Give me that back just in case he bouquets my hand. So, A, first of all, A, A, do you remember what happened in the swamp? I'll turn to pure gold. Oh, yeah.

And, and Gideon broke my jaw. A. Seven. Seven. Seven. Very logical. Seven what? It's A and then seven of all. Seventh of all.

See, yeah, seven for all. Seventh of all. So there is they know everything that happens here. The carnival can tell what your mood is and what the mood of the whole carnival is. The carnival can tell if you wear a pair of very tomming

butterfly wings. And if you take It's none too good. I don't know what happens. I had to wear them even though I was working a really low-level carny job, okay? You're saying we all have to wear butterfly wings? Yes. Don't you want to be a monarch? Wait, you're saying we have to wear butterflow wings? Yeah, I'm saying that. Aren't you a son? Look how cute is gonna be your butterfly wings. What if it clashes with my suit? So A, seven, monkey paw.

All right, look, I gave a ticket back, and I can't find mine. We just buy them, right? All right, all right. So you go get who she and a child ticket? How much money do we have left? Don't steal those same two gold pieces. I hope that tickets are inexpensive. Monkey Paul.

All right, friend. We need two tickets, one adult, one child, please. That'll be three gold, three gold, three silver pieces. What fuck. I turned to her. Oh shit. We don't have enough money to buy you a check. Why didn't Mr. Rosalog give us some stuff?

Or did it just order this magic lot? Oh, it looked like a displaced piece. He didn't give us an advance on the riches besides the cloak and the bean. What if we traded a bean for them a bean for? Oh. Oh, one of my beans. I mean, they're just like worthless beans, right? I mean, I imagine they have some sort of power.

I haven't had time to really inspect them. Amazingly, they survived their encounter with the swamp water. Those are some magic beans. I'm guessing they're magical beans. Oh, do you think their beans would grow pumpkins? Perhaps. Giant pumpkins. Perhaps they're giant pumpkin seeds.

Well, we're going to have to give them something he'll want. So maybe the beans. Wait, do it really not have enough money? And you watch as other people walk by and pay and enter into the carnival. Perhaps one of these other people walking into the ticket booth area would be willing to, be a little philanthropic. What do you think? Well, even if they're not willing,

maybe they'd be a little unwilling. Wait, then, if you're unwilling, we're not going to get to gold. Well. Hold on. Let's, let me just try something, all right? All right, well, friend, you know, I've looked everywhere. I've every looking cranny, and unfortunately, we only have two gold pieces.

would you maybe haggle a little bit and two tickets for two gold pieces, one each? One gold each? I'm sorry, friend, I can't go down on the ticket cost, but if you can't pay the price, you can make a pact. It's only good for one night. Oh, just a one-night kind of pact. All right, what's the pact?

Well, we'll let the magic's the fate aside that. But if you agree, I will tell you, those that make a ticket pack do you have a better chance of becoming the witch-lite monarch. Sounds like a little deal to me. Who do you make a pact? Oh, by the way, I've never worked here in my whole life. Not in that once. That's great for you, friends.

I don't recognize you at all. I don't recognize you, and you don't. You don't recognize this dog. No, I don't. I mean, as a goblin, it'd be very offensive for me to say that I'll do. Just because I've seen one goblin, I haven't seen them old. Does your owl bear agree to make a pact? Well, what are the terms?

That your owlbear will agree to make a pact. The magics of the carnival itself will determine what that pact will be. And as long as your owlbear fulfills that pact, she will have a better chance to become a witch-like monarch, and she will not be ejected from the carnival. She will be considered a paid attendee. Cucci, I want this to be your choice. So therefore, I'm giving Fiat to the dungeon mast.

I know that you- Now she's yours. Fiat is yours. Okay, okay. That's a lot of power, Nikki. I know. But I don't want it. Okay. I don't worry. I never did. She's my queen.

Always John Snow. I don't want it. She's my queen. I know that you would like to. I know that you are, this is where we first met, and I know there's a lot of mixed feelings because your tummy was not feeling very well. But Papa came and whisked you away.

It's been eight years, we've grown. You're a lot healthier. And maybe we can say hello to Miss Kitty Whiskers if she's still here. And would you like to make an unbreakable Fayette for the day so you can be the monarch of the Fay Wild, I mean the, the Witchelark Carnival. And I think she will look up enthusiastically

and kind of like, what am I imagining with the bear claps? Is that from like a Harvey Birdman attorney at law? And he's also always doing them. Yeah. Yeah. So I think Hoosie will just do. Okay.

FAPE Act. I would like you to roll a D8 for me, please. Miss, this is Miss Hootsie, T, Qoochee, Grim Grin. All right, and he reaches down and he shakes her paw. Please roll a D8 for me. Five. Good roll. Hootzee must carry around a small pumpkin

as though it were a precious egg. We just had all his practice with pumpkin, and this is a small pumpkin. We just had a big pumpkin pot, no problem. No problem. Effortless. Hootie do not lose that pumpkin. You will see that as the pact is formed, a very small pumpkin does appear at the ground in front of her feet.

The goblin behind the ticket booth takes out two satchels and a map and hands one to you and one to Hootzee. In that satchel, you look through it and you see that there is a map of the carnival and there's also a pair of, for each of you, cloth of butterfly wings. Oh, butterfly wings. Okay, you can never do a pretty pink one, too.

Did I also receive the set? You do, and so do you, Gidea. Nice. All right, so that just leaves me. And you sure you won't take two gold pieces? I wish I could, but I can't. Rules for rules. All right.

I mean, can you give me any kind of hint about what the nature of the FAPT is? I think I just did. A charming pumpkin. Well, I mean, is it going to be the same? It really all depends on how the magics of the Faye Wild twists around you. Oh, fuck. Well, can you at least promise me, swear on your mother or whoever else you hold dear,

that it will be done after the night? I can swear to you, it's one night only. The moment the wishlight monarch is crowned, whatever pact you make fades into non-existence. Eight hours. Right, this is the beginning of a carnivore. You are within the first hour, but time is ten. chicken. I would have.

I would. I wouldn't know because I didn't work you. It's on the signs outside. Oh, yeah. If you want,

if you want your, uh, your enterprises, you want to make your way in within the next 15 minutes or so. All right. All right. Okay.

I, Cremil accrue, uh, do solemnly. Make a pact with you or whoever else. Rhymes are really great. Wait, what?

Well, you, you could have rhymed that. That would have been really great. Well, that's not really my specialty. Me, Cremil, will make a pact with you. That's a rhyme. All right, well, so I'm making the pack with you?

Like, like, you're making the pact with the carnival line, the ticket key. All right, well, wada do, the name's Kremlin Crew and I'm making a pack with you. You see that he smiles, please move the enjoyment token up by one towards happiness. Oh, shit. Oh, we're gonna, we're gonna,

over here, the happiness token tracker, which is we're using. Little pumpkin. Little pumpkin. Oh, nice. It's up by one. Let's go. Oh.

Wow. And you immediately feel, it's almost palpable, the way the energy in the carnival shifts as joy is escalated. And you see the smile on this wizened old goblin's face as Cremie makes this rhyme. He reaches his hand out to shake your hand. And in doing so, he passes you a ticket. Someone asked why Cremie doesn't have a ticket. Before we go further, let me explain.

Oh, boy. I handed out the tickets last seven. session. And I told everyone, I need you to keep the location of your ticket. Make sure you do not lose this. You'll need this next session. I cannot hold on to them for you. It is your responsibility. It is imperative that you know where your ticket is. We sit down and everyone except for Rich had their ticket. And so Rich is paying the price of not having his ticket. Rich one for a hike. He had a ticket on him. He didn't have any toilet paper. Ew!

Nothing would stick to this. He regretted it in a meeting. This is vinyl. Oh, man. He would just smear. And he could get a vapor good. He's also actively bleeding. Yeah, he's kind of sharp.

Honestly, that would not be more like a scoop, you know? Ew, stop. Please stop. Like, turn like shovel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can, don't bend it. We're truly hard on these. Well, look, I'm just saying I think maybe Grillo took mine.

Took my what? To my ticket. I mean, I, I, I had a ticket. You all saw it. You think he took your ticket and maybe gave it to Hootsie. Well, no, I mean, he had Hootsie making a horrible fay pact unless it was that job. I need you roll a D8, please.

Oh, fuck. Speaking of, what do you think happens if Hootsie shadows that pumpkin, now that you're accepted a Pax? You think it's like you just get kicked out or you get turned inside out? Well, I mean, he wasn't really giving any details. I wrote a Nate, by the way. You must declare your love for unicorns at every opportunity. I fucking love unicorn.

Wait, oh shit. Oh, crummy, do you? I really do. I've never told anyone that before. Oh, that's kind of cute. Oh. I didn't know that about you, Kremi. I mean, I guess I didn't really know that about myself either, but I really like unicorns.

I would have got nice, colorful manes? I mean, I don't just. like them. I really, I love unicorns. Oh, you like collect them and have them all over your wall and stuff? Well, I mean, you know, they aren't... I never saw a unicorn in your office at the, uh, the, uh, the,

carnivola crew. Yeah, I mean, I just, you know, maybe this is some sort of like latent childhood memory that's just flooding back all of a sudden. Or maybe it's horrible, you know, Faywild magic. I don't know. He reaches out and he hands you a satchel that contains map of the carnival

and cloth butterfly wings. You know what? I'm all of I'm kinda looking forward to put these on. I gotta say how do I look, lads? You look more beautiful, blue and red butterfly wings. Does look pretty nice on you. Oh, thank you. Look how cute she is with a little pumpkin and the pink butterfly wings.

What color are my wings? What color do you want them to be? They are, you can see that they're jade in color, obviously, but they're the eyes, circles of yellow in the center. Oh, like a tin wood off pettitips. Exactly right. These are quite fitting, thank you. You're here, welcome.

Oh, and look, they even got with purple ones to match my suit. Oh, it really does match, look. I mean, I prefer if they gave us like unicorn horns to wear, you know? Oh, you could fund them. Yeah. Oh, oh, they said, oh, course,

oh, man. You don't be not gonna have unicorn horns. It's probably like a little shade of horns. And I'm actually pretty excited about that. I would like mine, if possible, to be orange-edged and red in the center, and comically too small for my body. Oh, definitely. And mine is like way too big. Oh, what do you guys think?

How these look on me? Oh. Pretty striking, right? I mean, it looks pretty good. I think that crying child, I think you accidentally took he... I knew you took his bag. There's no crying in the carnival. That's the step one.

He can't come in here. Oh. He's not using him, probably. He said his favorite colors is orange and red. Oh, interesting. Oh, well. He's got some really big wings they gave him. Oh, wow.

Okay. Fifteen minutes from now after the kid stops crying, he goes up and he's like, yes, I'd like to make a pack. My hands turn into what? And with that, you all have your tickets. You have your satchels and your map. As you look out over the carnival proper, it is a wondrous spectacle.

The shifting clouds almost look like floating cotton candy. It's the sun slowly sets beyond the horizon. You see the bubbles floating through the sky. They are catching the light and look. iridescent as they glide through this place. And you see people everywhere, enjoying their time laughing, smiling, moving from one place to the next. And as you look down at your map and look back up at the carnival, you see that it is an exact representation of what you're seeing here. The carnival is yours to explore and yours to enjoy. Are the bubbles only like up up in the air or are there

street level bubbles. Street level bubbles. They're floating everywhere. And I'll say as you turn and you look towards the right, you see, and it's reflected on your map, a spot called bubble pop teapot that has a large teapot at the very top of this attraction. And from the spout are just gigantic bubbles that are billowing up out of it. And as you look, and it's quite a bit of ways off, but you see that there are people in the bubbles. And you see that the bubbles are tearing them over the carnival, almost as if to give them a tour. And they're in these bubbles just watching in awe. You can see children pressing their hands up against the bubbles as they smile and laugh

looking down at the people walking through the thoroughfare and pointing out things in the distance that you can't see from this vantage point. I keep an eye on them for a little while just to make sure none of them are like. None of them pop and there no, they're no. Why they're splatter all over the ground. Oh, oh! And then it turns into a horror show.

Splatter zones on the map. I wonder what that is. Oh, God. Does you screw-wise carnival? Me. Is that from a land for a word time? No, it's from We're bad. How are you, that's all the last night?

By John Goodman. Help me. Well, there seems to be quite a bit to do here. What does everyone fancy is perhaps their first choice? I mean, what are the options? Well, there's a ride called Lost Property, it would seem. There's... Oh, that's where I shall hootsey.

Oh, really? And, Grico, you would know that that's not a ride. That's just... That's lost and found. That's where Miss Kitty Whiskey's is. Well, I don't want to make any assumptions. This is a place of the Fay Wild, and if it's just lost property, then probably shouldn't go there first. Oh, look, there's a carousel.

Look. Do you have unicorns there? Oh, I bet there is. She nods to see the unicorn too with Uncle Clemary. She nods very enthusiastically. I like this idea. What we can do is we can go right and then sort of circle around in a counterclockwise direction. What do you think?

think. Logically, yes. Oh, yeah. I mean, whatever. Well, I really want to go to the Dragon Flood ride. Just my favorite. That's what that's adjacent. Right across the fairway here. I'll go on any ride there is. But if we can get something to eat along the way, that would be great.

Smells like fainal cake around here. Fatal, fadal cake? What? Like funnel cake, but in the fay. They're fainal cake Fanel cake Oh, Faino, that F is so important

That F is so important. I know you knew this place That smells like faino cake I did but I was just a county That just like worked I worked by the staff area I'll staff the staff area And they didn't let you have any

Yeah no I had to You know left those heavy jugs of water and put them on the thing, and that's all I got to do. I got to walk. I got to go to the lake and refill it and walk back and forth, and that's all I did, really. I'm a little thirsty.

I don't know if I want to try this fainal cake, but I could definitely go for some heavy jugs. We find a place where we could enjoy a brew, some sort of beverage. I can go for some heavy jugs as well. I could go for a nice brewski. With me, it was the lad that you crack open, because we're at a carnival.

Exactly right. Prince, let's- Well, I think you're finally looking up. It's like I am not covered in the blood of a horribly mutilated fairy. No, look, you're good. Oh, okay. Look, we all look amazing.

Look at that. Well, I think we all need to be it, lads. It's at this point that you look forward and you see a 12-foot-tall walking tree garlanded and golden ribbons as it marches down the thoroughfare. Emerald clouds swirl above the tree and rain down golden spinning sycamore seeds.

Fairgoers try to catch the seeds. before they hit the ground. As the seeds gently fall, a chatty squirrel scampers along the boughs of the tree, handing dandelions to select passerby. Catch the seeds and get your prize. Catch the seeds and get your prize.

I'm red. And I'm in the tree. I'm red. Come get dandelions for me. I'm red. And he watches it dances about and waves dandelions. And you see that people are rushing up to the tree

and red is looking around and selectively giving out dandelions, but noticing the people that dive and attempt to grab the sycamore seeds. Gentlemen, I'll be right back. I'm going to go acquire myself a seed, and I'm going to use my tobacco ability to, like, hop. I can't remember what it's actually called

because I'm looking at the map right now. It's called Tabaxi. I tabaxi hop, and I'm going to attempt to get directly between the people and slide in. Sam. I have role dexterity. A dexterity check at advantage because of your tobacco's the ability.

Oh, come on, guys. We can catch seeds too. This is easy. You're trying to compete with Hootsie. Am I believe that thing with parents where I just compete and I give everything to Hootsie just so I can, we don't have to be complicated. I'm just, if you want to. If you want me to roll for Hootsie, I can.

I feel like it would be easier. I would say any of the things you don't need to rule for Hootsie. I'll just say Hootsie succeeds at the things Hootzie wants to. She just won't get prizes because it's more meaningful. important for you to have these things. Yeah, and so I want to get prizes, and if I can give them to Hootsie, that's what I would do. And, like, we'll be like a you.

Like, you know, oh, we're just your day. It's your father, Dota, combo. I get a- Get a fuck out of my way, frosting! Just decks? Yeah. I dart forward and, uh, with tremendous speed, uh, 16. You are easily able to catch a

sycamore seed. You watch as red. This little squirrel starts clapping its hands together, realizing that, um, that, um, that, He is smashing these dandelions together and the tufts are flying off this way and that. So he reaches down and he scurries down the tree and hands you a dandelion.

Oh, thank you, Red. I appreciate that. Congratulations. I got a seed in a dandelion. That was amazing. I love Tabaxi Hop. I love you. Oh.

I love unicorns and I love you too. And unicorns. Thank you. I was just overtaken by vicarons. victory. March Highland is going to win! We're all dying. The rest of you make a dexterity check, please.

Finally, let's go. Does a straight dex? Yep. Nine, seven, twenty three. Oh! All right. Death row. Grico, you are small and you're easily able to

to weave your way through the adults that are crowded around here, hoping for their chance at the welcome gift. You remember this and you know that by catching these seeds, you will get a coveted welcome gift. And so you find an opening, you dive in and you are able to catch one before it hits the ground. Cremie, you do the same thing. You watch Gricko. You see the way he moves and you dive in. You grab one.

And as you look up, you see red is right. there on your shoulder. I love unicorns too. And hands you a dandelion. Oh, thank you, Fran. Do I get to keep the seed, too? Yes. You should blow the dandelion and make a wish.

Do it. Do it. Do it. I hope so. That's what it's for. All right. Red nose best. Blow the dandelion.

Red nose best. Blow the dandelion. Make a wish. Blow the dandelion. Make a wish. Blow the dandelion. You two cat, blow the dandelion and a bit a wish. Make a wild a wist.

Blow the dandelion. You two cat, blow the dandelion, make a wish. How it did? You too, cat. Oh, oh, oh. Dandelion. Frosty's got to blow the dandelion.

It's a dandelion. And Frost is going to blow on it right now. And he's got to make a wish, probably something cool. Oh, yeah. Hey, Frosty. Red claps his hands and you can move the happiness meter up one more mark. It's amazing. You were the best people that's been here all day.

Oh, it really sucks that you slipped when you were singing and didn't catch a seed. I always get caught up and singing and I just lose my hands and I can't find seeds are so small. But I appreciate that you collapsed and sang the song with us even though you didn't get a seed and now you're all left out and get no prize. Well, I like to just bask in the six. And you fell on your face and got beaten by all those children. Oh, well, to be fair, I was trying to steal their seeds from them, so I probably deserved it. You probably did. Anyway, goodbye.

And you watch his red runs up. I don't know why his voice changed to Sylvie, but it did. And he runs up the boughs of the tree. And you watch as this 12-foot-tall walking tree just continues to march through the. the thoroughfare, tossing sycamore seeds, as Red chooses someone, multiple people in the crowd that do things that interest him as he gives them their dandelion.

I need the both of you to write down what you wished for and hand that to me. I also need you all three of you to roll a D8 for me and tell me what number you got. I'm going to get some index cards. Oh, ground me one as well. Yes. We all roll a D8?

Yes, except for Gideon. Not me, yeah. Oh, too. You know, you could have twisted. You've got a lot of. Oh, damn it. Oh, shit. I say I will still let you do it if you want to.

We're gonna twist. I want a fucking wish, yeah. Oh, yeah. The wish had nothing to do with your role. Oh, give me that back. The wish had to do with red picking people based on the things they did. Frost did his kitty hop and Cremie yelled out

that he loves unicorns. Oh, well, I don't know. Oh, so I don't need to re-roll. No, you don't need a reward. I got a seed. Oh, 21. So you will also get a seed and you can roll a DA. Step aside, kids.

Caught a seed. We all got seeds. Oh my God, I know what it is. I know what it is. Did he wish for a Unipiac? Yeah. Did he wish for a fucking unit? I know!

They know it. Can you have to confirm it. Damn it. Now I'm not going to get my unicorn. Why don't your bad room? To fill the beans. Oh, my dad. Oh, that's so good.

That's so funny. It just says a unicorn. Do you want to put this back to the pirate one? Oh, perfect. We'll just, yeah, all in here. We can we get sort of out later. Oh, my God, that's so funny. Give me back.

My parricorn. Thank you for that. And please roll your D8, so let me know what you got. Oh, and five. Oh, I got a roll the A-2? Yep. Oh, do we have to do a bunch of tickets for that? No.

That wasn't a round. No, so timed events. Oh, it's only the rides. It's, yeah, it's for rides and other mini events, the three timed events, which are the welcome gifts, the big top extravaganza and the crowding of the Witchlight Monarch. You do not, you just come on. Is the Satchel the welcome gifts?

No, these are the welcome gifts. Oh, uh, one. Okay. Is the seed the welcome gift? Mm-hmm. Yeah, the seed gives you your welcome gift. It is not what you think it is. So we got one, five, seven, seven, two.

Oh, that's pretty good, everybody. How about yours is a four? Mine? Yeah. Oh, I got a four. So that way we can experience all four of them. Yeah, we got a four. Cremie.

The creature gains the following personality trait until dawn. You are currently, you are easily amused. Any conflicting character trait is suppressed in the, in the meantime. Oh, my answer. You know, Dana Lines look pretty even once you sort of blow on them. Isn't that nice? Grico.

Just a green stick. It's a nice string stick, love. Oh, man, I guess. You gain a dye, a D4, which you can add to one ability check that you make before the next dawn. Oh, wow. Oh, do you dance? I feel stronger.

Who got the seven? Do I look taller? your seed turns into a gold piece. Wow. That did that happen. I've been trying to teach you to juggle for how long. And your seed was in your paw and it turned into a gold coin. And you just, ah!

You know, I'm so, I'm happy. It's fine. Gideon. But rich! I got a gold piece. Oh, that's about that ticket now. Oh, my God. that increased our gold by 50%.

That's good math, Grimmy. That's pretty good. I mean, hold on to all three of those. Gold pieces. Oh, three gold pieces. Isn't that interesting? Exactly right. That's all we got. So don't lose it. Like, I lost my ticket. Or, like, Grinnell was stole my ticket.

I'll put them in my pack. What is that little Gremlin thing? Oh, that invisible thing, yeah. What are you talking about? You gain a D8, which you can add to one ability check before the next dawn. Oh, wow. That's huge. Do I look a little taller?

You look all you're covered in glitter. Oh, really? Is that just me? Must have been the kids. I mean, you sort of look, you know, you look amusing to me. You know, you're all big and strong, got those tiny little wings on. What? Are my wings tiny?

I thought they were appropriately sized. If they were actually wings, you wouldn't be able to fly. They just flap around like this while you ran around in circles. Oh, well, I think they look kind of fetching. I mean, I'm not saying they look bad. They don't look like they were taken from a child named Jason. Oh, well, good. I think his name was Alexander.

Did you actually steal, like, accident? steal the wings of somebody? I don't know. I was making a joke. If it is not gonna screw him, then that could be seen him, but if so. Yeah. Unless it's absolutely, what's the second rule?

What I will say is if you did, it needs to go down one happiness. No, no, no, no, no, no. Oh yeah, what are the rules? You know, they're right here. There are three rules. Those were also in your welcome pack. Oh, well, we should probably take a second

and we look at this welcome pack. Oh yeah, yeah, that's enough. All right, Gann, you can read, right? You don't know me to read the rules out. I mean, if you want to, I mean, I'm happy to read. I bet Frost reads pretty good, too. I am capable of reading. Yeah, Frosty.

Why don't you go ahead and read those? The three rules to rule by. Oh, good. Just showing off, I guess. Three rules to rule by. The three rules to rule by. To rule by. Rule of hospitality.

When a friend, an enemy, or a stranger enters your home, You are expected to be gracious and accommodating to them until such time as they prove by words or action undeserving of such hospitality. That seems to be the case here in this car rules are now. It's all right, right? Greg, we don't know. You need to listen to it. What's the first rule? Always say please and thank you.

Close enough. The rule of ownership. You must not steal. You must not steal. You must not steal. That's on the sheet. From a friend, an enemy, an enemy, or a stranger. What if they're neutral, party?

But then I know. Between the, it runs the gamut. It's, the whole circle of alignment would be including this. Oh, you should be shoved. No, I mean, he's got a good point. Look, there's definitely a hold of these. Yeah, there's a bit of a loophole here. If I know him...

I feel like you're breaking the first rule already. Well, I don't have a home in the carnivore. Nobody's coming into it. No, it clearly states you must not steal from a friend, an enemy, or a stranger. But let's say you know somebody, but it's not really a friend or an enemy, then that counts. You go steal from some acquaintances then.

We'll fucking find out. To take something that doesn't belong to you without the rightful owner's permission is a crime. and an unforgivable breach of etiquette, it doesn't matter. To do it in general, regardless of, you think you found a loophole, but I don't think. Oh, Grigo, Grego, wait up, wait up.

Nice forms, Scooby Dave. Are you sure you weren't thinking of curvy dames? Curvy Dave, do be dummy fit. Grigo, what's the second rule of Harold Fitch? Ownership, that's a hint. Um... Um... If you, no takesies backseys.

That's close enough. Alright, the rule of reciprocity. When a friend, an enemy or a stranger, again with a three, that's very interesting. When a friend and enemy or a stranger, say again. They don't really care about acquaintances around here. No, no, but they do list three types of the relationships.

It's very curious. Oh, you know what? I bet it's like a fay wild thing You can't be more than those three things. As soon as you know somebody, they're either a friend or an enemy. There is no other than you for. And patterns are emerging.

You are obliged to accept this gift and offer something of comparable value, be it a gift or a service in return. Such reciprocation, reciprocation? Reciprocation need not happen immediately. So there's perhaps a... Greg, go.

Wake up. Wait on. Where are you listening? I'm just sorry you always used to read my bedtime stories on the road as soon as you start reading I had to fall asleep instantly That's a bit of a Papalafian response. I understand however What is the third rule of reciprocity? Oh If you don't have the receipt you can only exchange for store credit I'll accept it

I think we're all clear on the rules All right, I mean there's only three of them We should be all right, right, fellas? That was easy. All right, so be nice, don't steal, and if somebody does something nice for you,

see Rule 1. Exactly right. We've just got to reciprocate, right? Equal or lesser value? Equal or lesser value. No, equal, equal value. No, what are the lesser? I mean.

Equal or lesser value. Equal or lesser value to restore value. Comparable, comparable. No, it's not, we'll go over them if we can find a beverage. I'm looking around. Y'all can really use a beer. Yeah, bro.

I'm gonna look around and see if I can find a cart or a domicile, some sort of food location. Food hall. You look around and you see an elf on stilts pushing a cart down the thoroughfare. It's a very vibrant cart with a kaleidoscope of colors. a rainbow cart, as it were. And hanging from the tops, you see the curtains that are pulled back from it.

You see are tons of candies and snacks, as well as the base portion of it is almost like a beautiful ice sculpture that doesn't seem to melt. And nestled within what appears to be a beautiful fairy castle sculpted out of the ice are beverages of all sorts kept cold. Is there also a theme song to this rain? combo cart where it's like, no, no, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na. It's pushed by a tabaxi.

Oh, terrific. That's exactly what I wanted to hear about. Yeah, I said an elf on stilts, it's actually pushed by a tobacco. Okay. Yeah, wearing a Pop-Tart costume. Perhaps this Tabaxi Pop-Tart can help us. What the hell is a Pop-Tor? No, I believe it's a breakfast toast, a strudel, pastry.

Oh. Legally distinct. Perhaps it's a regional difference. You say Toaster Struddle. I say Pop-Tart? I'll never heard that one. I'm going to get Drake. I'm going to go up and I'm going to ask what they have done offer.

Yeah, you make your way up and the, it's an Elphon stilt. The Elphon stilts, it's not fucking crazy. It's not just a box on. Children love me. Do I use DM a session? I was to enjoy the content. She's back to me. Go back to the hospital.

I'm just kidding. Please don't. Please don't. And let's just define friends. Jesus. Greetings, friend. I've heard of Elf on a shelf, but these stilts are quite tall. Yeah.

Are you thirsty? I'm barched, yes. I'd love to buy one of your beverage. You're a bard? No, I'm parched. Oh, birched. Oh, a tree bard would be interesting, don't you think? Tree bark.

Oh, a dog bard. A dog bard? Yeah. Mm. Yeah. You're thirsty? I would like to buy one of your beverages. What do you have on offer?

We have Giggle Water. Giggle Water. We have a rainbow sorbetable drink. Bubble drink. I'll have one of those, please. Thank you. Oh, all right. Why do, by the way?

I'm climbing a crew. I love unicorns. Oh, I do too. Did you want to have the Unicorn Sparkle in the Horn. Wait, you have that? It's a bubbly effervescent drink with notes of burgomon. It's a drink?

Absolutely, please. And you see that there are a few of them. They are a beautiful unicorn horn that is filled with this foaming, bubbly, pearlescent liquid. And there are these tiny little, like purple pink blue green bubbles almost like boba that are floating in them I mean that looks lovely is that the ticket price is just that includes that right oh wow okay oh these are these are free I thought perhaps that I mean given

how beautiful it is what's like a collector's cup and you have unlimited refund exactly right this is a way better carnival you can eat the horn you can eat the horn if you like the horn's edible too mm-hmm is giving this stuff away It's part of your ticket cost. All right. I mean, I was feeling pretty available, but then get reminded how much we're being shown up right now. Don't you find that amusing?

That is kind of amusing. Like, for a second, I'm like, it starts to come back, and I'm like, I don't know. You know what? At all drink station, we charge per ice cream. I'm terribly sorry. I must have been dropped into the amusement of the game. What was number seven? What was my... I'm fucked. You got a gold coin? It's... I'm role-playing the gold coin. Here it is. All right. You know, even though your margins must be terrible, I'm really going to enjoy this.

I do hope so. Oh, it looks very colorful. It is fizzy. Oh, it's a little bit of easy. And, uh, you know, you... You swallow one of the bubbles and you immediately float a couple of inches up off of the ground for just a second. And then you land softly. Is that what that looks like? Very cool. Oh, my God. Hold on. Hold on.

I want to eat another double-but to see if it happens again. And you lift a couple of inches off the ground and then you slowly float back down. By the cat. Hold on. Open your mouth. What? And as you, it tastes refreshing, almost kind of like a, almost like a raspberry pineapple mix.

It's a little bit tart, but really sweet. A little bit tart. A little bit of sweet. You feel hydrated just from that single boba as you lift a couple of inches off the ground and then- The wind is? Frost said that wouldn't work, but here I go!

I love to say wow. I just start guzzler down. And you notice that you- Do you catch in? In a second. You notice that you float, you end up floating about two or three feet off of the ground for a little while. You're zooming around this way and that.

You see that bubbles begin to just kind of swirl around Kremie for a while. And then as he finishes the drink, he slowly begins to lift and the bubbles pop and go away. Man, I mean, this tastes like that. Well, that was very charming, Grammy. This tastes like it's worth at least 100 gold pieces. So you have Giggle Water, you have the floaty drink. Are there additional options?

Do you have any alcoholic beverages, for example? No, this is a carnival for you. children. Oh. They're parents here as well. Yes, but what we offer means that alcohol is unnecessary. I understand. Well, thank you for thinking of the children. My daughter here, her name is Hootsie, and she really would like a, if you have it, a certainly chapel. A what? A certainly chapel. No. You don't have any certainly, I'm sorry, Hootsie. We'll get you. We'll get you something else. What would you recommend for a sweet little owlbear who's going to be the princess of the carnival?

A bowl of water. Oh, that doesn't sound very fun. She's a child. She needs something very saccharide at the carnival. Perhaps the giggle water you mentioned earlier. That's a kind of water, isn't it not? It's probably as close to water as you're going to get. We'll have two.

Okay. And she reaches down and she takes these two. They're wooden mugs, they're shaped like a dryad, they're shaped like a tree with like a dryad attached to it that's the handle, her curvy body is kind of leaning over into the tree and you hold onto her. And it is a beautiful green liquid, but it's more of a minty green color.

And it's sparkling little glittery pops and fizzes here and you take one and you have one to Hootsie. It's not read like your favorite beverage, but you know. Blood. What was it? Blood. Oh, no, a certainly chapel is your favorite. I've never heard of it.

I thought that you were talking about blood too, actually. You need a giggle blood, perhaps. It's every child's favorite beverage. A certainly chapel? A certainly chapel. It's just basically like water and sugar and it's just bubbly. It's not what it is. Does it go on?

A little bit of cherry. Yeah. Or like, oh, it's more cherry. Just must again, the regional differences. I'm still learning so much from you, Frick-O- Yeah, which we were born across the world. Anyways, thank you so much. You're very kind. Hootie, there you go.

You drink, and as you attempt to say, hoot-see, there you go. All you're able to do is giggle. to do is giggle. And Hootsie begins to lap up her giggle water. I need you, I need you to tell us what Hootsey sounds like when she giggles. That's the cutest thing I've ever seen. Oh, I know. He shouldn't.

I mean, it's pretty cute. Kind of worried about him. One time Gideon punched the guy so hard and he acts like that. To die. I mean, yeah, it wasn't funny. Oh yeah, you did not chakouz. I mean, it was kind of funny. I will.

I mean, the time we didn't know it was gonna die. Well, that would have been insensitive, but in hindsight, it was rather, you know, tricky circumstances. Oh, second, you probably shouldn't have been. probably shouldn't have made a massage show attraction. That was a good week. We made a lot of money. I didn't know he died, though. Oh, did I get the picture of that problem?

He told him he went to a farm somewhere far away. Yeah, I had a gig ticket to the pig farm to the house. He said he got married and had a bunch of kids and lived his life out on the farm. Why didn't you believe in the crime? What do you said it was a clown form? went to the farm from our carnival, they died? I mean, yeah. Well, it happens, clowns at least.

This carnival is so much better than our carnival. Clowns generally felt a drink. It wouldn't get any nerves. It's not murder. It was accidental, all right? Workplace accident. You know when we set it up as one night only, it was just one night only.

The mansion was for multiple shows. It's so much better than our shitty car. I take offense to that, but this drinks real good. It tastes like the crust at the top of a... At the top of a creme bruley. Oh, man. I didn't make this. Again, that margin is supposed to be terrible,

but I don't even care right now. Ma'am, is there perhaps a third drink option? Well, you could always try the lavender lust. The lavender lust? So there are drinks for adults here. I will have one of the lavender lust. Oh, all right. And she hands you a beautiful purple heart

that has a spot for you to drink out of. And inside you're overcome with the scent of lavender, you can see petals of the flower swimming through this beautiful, glittery purple liquid. So what you're saying is it's a heart shape like this? Yes. And there's a baller sitting right here. Yes.

That is exactly what I was like. No, if we're gonna get your tongue, a little tongue eggs in you, Frosty. Oh, God. And at this point, you feel your giggling subside as you've finished your drink. What does this do? Is it just like there's water inside? It's a nice lavender tea. It's a nice herbal tea. It's a pretty temperature water.

It is delicious. And you look over at Crummy? Yeah. Oh, Crummy is sexier than you've ever seen him before. What are you doing? Nothing. That's kind of what it is. I love to laugh up, long and loud and clean you.

Grimy and perhaps we'll find something to eat. What do you think? Yeah, I can use a bite. I mean, we did this have a drink. We should probably go on one ride before we eat, right? I'd be willing to go on the carnage. Perhaps there's a two-seater. I don't know what.

Sorry, I'm the what. Hold on a lot. It's trying to concentrate while you're doing that. The carousel. There's perhaps one of those booths rides. We could go up and down. Yeah, that's the shitties one. Well, I mean, on the carousel, I was hoping to ride the unicorn.

I mean, maybe there's room for two, but we both have tails is the thing, and I think it might be kind of awkward. You know what I never understood? I can sit behind you. Why is that? It's silly! You know, that's a good point. Why do they call them... Why don't they call it?

There's no corn at all! Have you ever seen a unicorn with corn or ever before? Or maybe because, you know, the horn on the head kind of looks like a cobicor. Well, I've never been to a cornerstone day festival. I've never seen a little unicorn. It's all I'm going to say. I think he's wearing off finally so I can finally stop this. I'll achieve a very cute laugh.

Was there anything else I could get from the cart before I make my way? Yeah, miss, I would love a drink if I can. Whatever if you have a favorite drink on the menu, I'll take that. Oh, yes, I like the rainbow explosion. Oh, well, don't mind if I do. You don't know what that does. you see that there is a beautiful, what looks like a ceramic mug that is a white glittery and opalescent cloud with a rainbow shooting out of it.

There's a straw that comes out of the top that has two butterfly wings on it. And it is filled with a beautiful multicolored liquid that it's almost what you would imagine an oil slick would look like, but with pure neon colors, the colors of the rainbow. she motions for you to take it from one of the nooks in the iced castle that's keeping everything cool. Ooh, quite nice. I've always heard that straws make you suck, but in this case, I'll make an exception. It tastes very fruity. It's, um, what? It is, uh, it's like apples and pears, basically any fruit that you could possibly imagine. and you all watch as Gideon, the red color of his of his Genasi vibe, is now changing colors

as it shifts between all the colors of the rainbow. Mm-hmm, God, yeah. Is it skin color? Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'll try this one. This is pretty good. It's like a fruit medley. I think it's what's happening to your skin. What? Oh.

You've gone heliotropic. What? Oh my gosh. What? How much time do I have? How much time? does he have? Well, if it's anything like the zebra is the same color, about six seconds. Oh,

well, it's been nice knowing you. Oh, gosh. Well, it's a delicious drink, so... An entertaining side effect of it was beverage. How do you feel? I feel quite good. Refreshed. Like, I'm on a tropical island not that I've ever been, but

I imagine this would be there if I had. We'd probably been close to some of those. Oh, well. Certainly not. sell by. Yeah. Never served a delicious drink like this while

while passing by. I tell you that, usually in the bridge. I mean, that's fair. I mean, this is literal fucking magic. I mean, this is nice. I wish I could have magic beverages every day. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, that's what I should have wished for. Damn it. Oh, well. All right, we're going to the carousel. Let's go. Oh, yeah. Carousel. Come on, Hugh.

Oh, your life is so cute. Thank you for the beverages, miss. You're welcome. Enjoy the rest of the carnival. Look into a certainly chapel. It's very good. Kids love it. Goodbye.

I forgot to have you roll on the Faye table when you used the twist. And Grico too.

Grico didn't have to, remember? He didn't use the twist. She didn't actually use a twist. That's right. You used a twist to get one of the seeds. So I needed you 100 from you, please. 30. Ooh, good number.

Gideon, who was the last person you killed? Wasn't the last person to kill, was it? I mean, it might have been the clown. You know what? It was the clown from the carnival. Okay. The voice of the last person you killed tells you things about their life no one wants to know. You know I had calumidia.

Can I just be the clown? Yes, Mike can just be the plan. So just randomly throughout the session, randomly throughout the session. Randomly throughout the session, please just say something, Gideon, you're the only person that can hear it. You have made your pit stop at the restrooms.

It is shaped like one of those puppet stands, and you walk in and you use the bathroom. Does that mean that the urinal is actually an open window out to a crowd and you have to fight the other urinal user? Yeah. No. It just looks like it. I didn't think it through.

I just let it be cool. It is cool. I walk out, man, that smells terrible. Don't you know that you have to put the seat down in order to trap the smell so that they can escape through the pipe? Most people don't ever understand that, but it's very true about all of these stations with. you're actually using the hands to touch that?

To touch the toilet seat? No, you can just give it a kick. I have these nice shoes on for hygienic reasons for a reason, Creamy. I refused that in there, Roads, that was very logical. We'll put a pin in that for a vandras and chill. I refused to put the toilet seat down

because I was repelling against my mother. Who was it? What was that? You got to see that? You know immediately who that was. Oh, God. Curly, the clown, the last man that you killed. Chuck.

Chuckles? Oh, Chuck. And he punched him. My name was really curly. You never did get it right. You guys just hear, Chuckles? I'm sorry. What?

No, I heard giggling, because Rugo was enjoying his dream. No, no. Chuggles the clown. Did you just hear? Oh, the clown that you accidentally killed. Yeah. That you manslaughter. Yeah. That he sent to the farm. That you took to the farm to have disposed of. Yeah.

That's the one, yeah. Anyone just hear him? No. No. What did he say? Wait, oh my God. I said it doesn't put the toilet seat down. Oh, in the afterlife?

Why? Did we all die? I don't know. I didn't want to know it. But he told me it doesn't put the toilet seat down. In reference to Frosty, talking about his... Please move the hour tracker up, one. Oh shit

I want to show There's an hour tracker here Look at this We're using this little frog It's a wrap It's been one hour Checked Well if this is the afterlife

I would like to enjoy all the things It has to offer Let's go to the carousel Um Tuckles Please don't haunt us I'm having very lovely time And who she needs to be

come to Monarch. Don't forget about that time I gave you a Snickers. You know, I always really preferred three musketeers. Did you hear him? He says he prefers three musketeers. Probably hauntless because of you. Is that some sort of candy bar? I don't know.

But clearly you didn't give it to him. What's a musket. What's a Snickers? You don't remember we've... Let's move on. We're about to tear the world apart. You don't remember that time? We went to Hershey Park?

They go, one pound of chocolate, but we're walking and we're talking. I told you I wasn't going to stop you. We approached the carousel. You make your way through the Witchlight Carnival. you, I'm gonna look at my map to see where you're going. Fudge! Come on D&D Beyond, thank you very much. You pass the Calliopee, the music is reverberating throughout the carnival and

almost setting the tone of jubalance that you feel here. As you make your way forward, past the stand where you got your drinks, you see down the thoroughfare making their way towards the, left side of the carnival that gigantic walking tree and red the squirrel as they are what they seem to be wrapping up the first hour of the carnival has passed welcome gifts are no longer being given out as you make a quick right turn into into the area with the carousels and you look towards it a procession of wooden unicorn stand motionless on a circular wooden platform fair goers clamber on

unicorns back and a female centaur sets the ride in motion. The unicorns shake their manes and creaked to life, cantering around the carousel to the delight of their riders. You fail to see this? Cremie, it's like this was built for you. Every smile, I wish, it came true. There are so many of them. You wished for unicorns? Well, I wish for one unicorn, but this is, I mean, every single one is a unicorn. You know what? I bet there were multiple animals before I made that wish. Well, you know, so you're telling me, you wished for a unicorns, but this is, I mean, I wish for a unicorn, but this is, I mean, I'm unicorn it came true and you could have just wished to have our debt forgiven oh wow you

know what yet at the time I didn't think of it to be fair I also did not think of that or wish for that my great my greatest wish was to go into tagphedermy oh but my father always said I had to go into the family business of clowning juggles I've never heard you you talk so much. Well, everything I just don't care about. Nobody cares that you got into wanted taxidermy all along. Well, Gideon's lost. You were a mediocre clown at best.

I accidentally killed you, and I'm starting to think that it wasn't an accident. Can he respond? Well, he comments on... He just randomly comments. He comments on things that are happening. I don't know if he can respond so far. I always say it was that thing about musketeers and taxidermine. say can you like ask him a question

chuggles chuggles do you like being dead I don't that's kind of grim well what was I supposed to ask him you regret his life not intact a happiness meter down one oh

you know Gideon I've done a lot of thinking about it and I got to tell you it's to die for Wait, did it respond? Yeah. What? I asked him if, you know, now I forget what I asked him,

but he said it was to die for, which was a very funny punchline. So I laughed. Well, he was a clown. Yeah. Tell him to go away. You've been working on that, I can be able. I haven't been working on my franco.

That's really funny. I'm going to get in line. Would you like to join me, Greg? I'll get in my thoughts. Oh, let's go. Let's go. I'm definitely jumping on one of these. I hope the ghost of chuckles

is falling with us doing this. I hope that we can ride more than just once for, I mean, it says here Valafate rides. What do you think of riding tails? I imagine we could ride this eight times if we wanted to.

I hope the rides are plenty long, although I really want to get out now, so I hope they're done real quick. What is you know, you make your way towards the carousel, and you get in line, and it takes about 10 minutes until you are at the front of the line.

I would say three rounds of carousels, of carousel rides happen while you're waiting. And you see kids and adults getting off, they're jubilant. Everyone seems to be having a lot of fun. And in this time, you have a roll a perception check. Me? All of you. Oh, there we go. Here we go, Dyes.

Oh, I just need this session to warm up. You know what I mean? Oh. All of us? All of us, perception? Oh, shit. 22. 13.

I'm going to use a twist of bait on this. Ooh. Oh, no. And I'd roll a D100. Yep, roll a D100 for me, please. Worth it. 18 perception. The cat's out of the bag.

Oh. 97. Wow. Good year. That's pretty high. Pretty good year. It was a very good year. It was a fine year.

It was a fine year. time. Wow. I didn't get tetanus. It's great. You glow with artificial light. Almost like Jesus. Who the fuck's Jesus? I think she means weges. Oh, weges. Fultus. Oh, Fultus. Oh, Fultus. Yes. I'm, oh, my gosh. I'm glowing in the day. I'm glowing the night. I'm glowing the dark. I'm glowing. And you notice that if people walk by you, oh, what's that? Do you think that's one of the attractions? Oh, it's probably a pop-up entertainer. And you start to have like a group of people

that are kind of like milling about watching. Come on, come all. Enjoy the glowing cat and the clown haunted large men. Yeah. Roll a performance check to see if anyone gives a shit. Well, oh, performance. Well, that'll be a 20. Yeah, a bunch of kids having just gotten off of the carous wheel

and really wanting to go again, but realizing the line is pretty long, they start to crowd around you while you're standing in line. They sit down on the grass and they look up. Oh, what's going to happen? Well, just you wait, little child. Brostie, come here. Throw you up in the air.

and then spread out and be like the sun. And there's a clone goes right behind the dancing out. Oh, cool. All right. And the kids are just, Corming, Cromy. I take my hat off and I turn it upside down. Tips of the hat, please.

If you enjoy it, please a gold piece of two, we wouldn't mind it all. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And so tell me exactly what you're doing and I'm gonna have you roll performance checks. Gideon, I, you know I don't like it when you throw me, but when in, when, I put my arms out and like this so that you can get under my right behind you and do

the same motion you do throw me with the heavy weight of the clown that haunts your past with the weight of a terrible haunted ghost here you go as you reach up into this guy needs you all to make a performance check and who sees I'm assuming dancing there at the sign my path was haunted by crippling low onliness and imposter syndrome. Ah, kids, don't listen to them. Don't listen to the horrible haunted ghost. I'm gonna use a twist on this.

Roll a D-100, roll a D-100. Natural 20. Okay, that means nothing. I got a 16th. Oh, okay. Mine was worse. Show me some 82, 82, 82. Performance, that'll be a six. That's not that much better.

Should I use enough twist? I'll be a six. I don't want to stack. I don't want to fucking stack the Matrix. Just yet. There's a matrix. So I'm going to do one below what you got because the one you got was you can no longer go outside unless it's pouring rain and I don't want to deal with that. To the outhouse. Bines and leaves will now be intermingled with your hair and body hair. Oh, that's so many lard binds and leaves. That is a lot. 78 for Grico.

Um, your, uh, your irises are now pure black. Oh, you're, yeah. That's a nightmare. You just have pure black eyes. Gideon throws me and I am like the sun

and I'm like the sail cat in the sky. And as I reach the peak, the apex of my flight, all of a sudden, I'm Frosty Oh You're going All of the kids

It's one of those glowing Tia pets Oh Frosty No No, no don't flail so much I won't be able to get you

All of the kids stare up And a horror They start to say Um Good M A!

You're just screaming. You see? That blows the vines. Roll it, roll it. Roll it. Can you roll a deception check? Certainly. Would it be a persuasion check?

You're trying to persuade them to chill out. 15. Oh, yeah, easily. You say this and they're like, oh, oh, y- and all the kids start, like, clapping and cheering. And Frost is being. I'm like trying to minor illusion, like sparks and like pink glitter and explosions to kind of like, I'm juggling my tone-ups, like, well, hootzey's dancing.

I'm over choosing you long things. And all the while, I will say you collect about five gold pieces. Oh, good job, thank you, I appreciate it, appreciate it. Thank you, thank you. Now that you have an audience, the universe. Remind me of my OC pony do drop starshine and she was actually princess from the forgotten kingdom She had two different colored eyes and she was actually the most powerful magic user that was the only one that could learn fourth healing I mean special magical unicorn healing and she didn't have to work for it at all

That doesn't make any sense It's at this point that you hear what sounds like a horn echo just in this area. The centaur that was standing at the front of this line, you now realize that you're at the front of this line. As the centaur kind of crosses her arms and looks at you as you were putting on this con. From her hip, she pulls out this horn and blows it. Her voice booms out as she says, that's going to be it for now.

Everyone, except these four, please leave the carousel. We're closing for maintenance, so sorry. You can consider this a free hole punch on the hour. And everyone looks down at their tickets and they see the whole punch that had been popped when they got on the carousel magically reappears. And everyone cheers and seems to be very excited. And should you come back to the carousel

before the big top extravaganza, Diana Cloppington, that's me, will make sure that you ride for free. Now, to the exit, please. Oh, Diana. Oh, man, we miss out on a free ride. We messed out on the ride. I was excited to ride the unicorns.

And she moves towards you, not you four, you'll stay. We have things to talk about. Oh, Grim, Grim. Yes, to the exit. Good job, dear. Oh, you're so cute, yes. And she's smiling and,

shaking hands and slowly ushering the crowd towards the exit, but keeping an eye on you and asking you to stay. Thank you, children. And you see that as she gets towards the entrance that you came in, as she ushers the last of the patrons out, she takes a rope with a sign that says, undergoing maintenance, and she closes off the entrance and slowly clops towards you.

Maybe we're getting like a private ride? What to do they, Miss Lady? My name is Cremanticle, of the LeCruh Carnival, and this is my band of carnival performers, and we thought, you know what, there was another carnival in town. We like a good carnival, as you can tell.

You seem a little nervous. A little bit. I really like unicorns. Oh. Like a lot, and that's a lot of them. Yes. I've never seen as many. Can you blame him for how beautiful you are?

We're going to have to stop for a moment. It's spiraling into multiple conversations. You don't need to be nervous. I'm not going to hurt you. All right. I didn't assume that. I mean, you look very lovely. What are you doing?

No, I'll think you look lovely at incriminate things. I don't need your baseless flattery. I just simply want to talk. What are you doing here at the carnival? We're here to ride the carousel. Or is it a merry-go-round? It's a carousel. All right.

I always forget the difference. Why you're at the carousal ride. I'm asking why you're at the carnival. Why you've come to which light? Oh, and I sort of like blink in realization that like we're here for a reason, and I just totally forgot. Oh, you're right, why we're here?

Oh, I need you to roll perception check. You and Grico, since you're the ones that are immediately talking to her. Oh. Do I want to twist it? Yes, I'm twisting it. Roll D-100, please. Natural one.

Frost, you are, you do land. Gideon catches you. You feel the wiggly, almost wormy feeling as the vines are just writhing as they're growing out of his fur. You see flower petals burst open all over his body. I'm not sure I enjoy this, Gideon.

But he does feel like a mass of worms. I'm not sure I'd that. Feel a little weird, but you smell a lot better. I'm really Jumanjiing out. I got a, 22 on the check and a 30 36. Okay. And what did you get for your check and your D100?

Perception is a nine. Okay. I rolled a two and one. Burtile. Oh, and I never got my effect. It was a 78 initially and then a 71. Oh, your eyes turned black. Oh, that's right.

Yeah, your eyes turned back. Start writing them down, buddy. Yeah. That was the mistake I made during Hypnotode. You gain the beauty of the gods as long as you look upon yourself in a mirror at least once a day. If you do not, your beauty will corrupt into necrotic horror. You were the most beautiful goblin anyone has ever seen. Your skin is completely devoid of wrinkles.

You have eternal youth. Your hair is perfectly quaffed. It looks like it looks like it's as full as it could possibly be. The color is spectacular. Your eyes are piercing and your smile. It's like looking at the goblin version of Gilderoy Lockhart. My hair's never been so blonde. And it's true, it is blonde now.

He was. Every time he smiles, his perfectly white teeth have that little shiny pop of sparkle that happens in the curtains. Diana, I've never meant a centaur. But now that I have all I want to do is schmin. I'm not quite sure what that means. I'll show you. And it's as she's looking at Grico, Kremi, that you see that even though she seems happy and jubilant,

she's not once seemed angry in the removal of the patrons that we're here at the spot, you see that underlying all of this is an intense and almost crippling sadness that she's doing her very best to hide. So I ask you again, why are you here? Well, we're here, we're looking for somebody. Are you all right? Not particularly, no.

Don't you mind me asking, what's the matter? You look capable. What you've done here to be able to bewitch the minds of the patrons and get them to fall for that silly performance. That was quite nice. You enjoyed it, though, right? It was pretty good. Yes. I was concerned for your friend here's covered in vines down, screaming profusely at the top of his lungs.

He's very gloating. Is there something you can do about the swamp thing effect that's happening to me at this time? It's not in my power to fix it. Is it just going to keep growing? I'm not sure what you've done. You've clearly done something to incur the eye of the magic of the fay, if you're such as you are.

Well, I was glowing for a time, and now I'm... And still are. Glowing through a viny patch, and it just seems to be getting longer and bigger. I really don't like the way that vine is lapping at your earlobe. No, and I feel that it's just going to continue to... Oh, it's going in. Oh, it's going in, yes. Oh, if we comb it a little bit and kind of comb it out, we can hang little bubbles on you. And a little star on top.

What languages do you know? I know common and draconic. Roll a D4 and tell me what you get. One is common, two is draconic, three is common. Four is draconic. No. Common. Anytime someone speaks to in common, it sounds like screaming.

That wasn't the one you wanted. I'm sorry, what? What part would you like me to repeat? Well, I mean, the volumes is just a little loud. I mean... Oh, I'm very sorry. I can speak much more quietly. I mean, you're still screaming.

I understand. You're upset. I'm not screaming at you. I mean, you're raising your voice. Oh, okay. No, no. No, I don't intend to. Now, do not listen to him.

We are trying to help you. You seem to have a sadness to you, Miss. And we are here to help. That is why we had the Witchlight Carnival to help our dearest patron who's looking for his patron, which is our patron once removed by problem. I... Zabino.

Zabino. Oh, um, yes. Zabon. And she looks down and you see that she cringes as the tips of her fingers begin to sprout mushrooms. Are you all right, miss? I can't, I can't speak of that. Um, okay. You're really in distress, I understand.

How can we help? She flails her fingers around and you slowly see. fingers around and you slowly start to see that as she refrains from continuing down that line of thought, the mushrooms begin to melt back into her fingers. I'm not a centaur, a centaur, a centaur, I'm not the thing that you called me. Oh. I made a pact gone awry. That's what turned you into what you are now? Yes. What were you originally? A human. Oh, was your name originally Diana Clompington because that would be very appropriate for your current form. No, it was not. It was a moniker I picked up when I was offered the position here by Mr. Witch and Mr. Light.

Wait, are you saying that you're just a human and not a monstrosity type person? Yes, I'm just a human. Look, if we help you, will you stop screaming? For the love of God, I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude. But it's just, it's hurt my eating. She's not screaming? She's not screaming. Why are you all screaming?

I mean, is everybody okay? Nobody's screaming. This is going to be hard to keep up. It's very unpleasant. Nobody's screaming, Krebbing. What are you talking about, Kriley? Disturbing, just stop it, just stop. She's all screaming.

Nobody's screaming. We're all talking in a number fight. Make it stop. I, uh, I'll, uh, I'll reach into my code. and I'll pull out two handkerchiefs and I'll just like pull them up. Upon doing that, it still sounds like people are screaming, but it's not overbearing.

You can have conversations. All right. There's more, don't know. He said, come, me. Look, oh, God. It's probably some flame magic while y'all is screaming and you don't realize it. That's fine.

So, I mean, it sounds like you're on some kind of FAPAC, and you can't speak about what you were just about to say. That is true. I sought out someone in... Can I... Please, me... Okay. Oh, wait, that's where we're going.

Oh, that's what I was hoping to hear. I... I will do my best to help you. You see, I... Oh, this is so difficult. I... I sought out someone in Prismere, and I made a deal. Well, more I asked for the help to be reunited with my war horse.

My best friend, Sir Claupington. And well, she fulfilled her part of the deal. Oh. I see what you mean. So where's Sir Clapton? Like, out back? In a manner of speaking. Does that mean that there are two pairs,

there's a pair of female legs with the top half of a horse somewhere out there? I'm not sure. It would be most dark. I would love to find some way to have this reversed. And unfortunately, part of the deal prevents me from giving a significant amount of information. verbally and I can't write it down I know where you're going with is

I love a good game of charades no I work and unicorns oh well of course I love when I told them that when I left Tizmir I came to the carnival here you see

and I I began to work at the carousel I was given the job by Mr. Witch and Mr. Light which was very kind of them of course and I they've left a riddle on the carousel in the hopes that someone clever, an adventurer that's maybe potentially making their way into Prismere,

would be able to decipher it and get some information that they need and could while they're there, maybe attempt to do something about my current state. To find a way to return you and Sir Lottington back to their original forms. I would love to be myself again, and I would love to be reunited.

with my trusty steed, just not in the way I currently am. That was a cruel twist. It was. I know much better now. I can warn you that things are not always as they seem. Be careful what you agree to. Oh, shit.

I feel like I should remember it. Why do I forget it? You're thinking of Lexi Pots? Oh, do you remember? Do you know Lexi Pots? No. No? Okay. Are you familiar with any other evils in this carnival?

Murders, perhaps, of any kind of creature? I'm not familiar with evil, per se, but things do tend to get lost. Children can go missing. It's best not to come into the carnival without a ticket. We can't... Those of us, the witch-ligh hands, which is what I am.

We can only protect you if you've purchased a ticket. Otherwise, we have no control over what happens to you. Do you have a sense of what happens to the people who try to sneak in here, perhaps, or the lost children if they lose their ticket? Unfortunately, no.

We try not to focus on it too much, is it plummets the overall ambiance. of the carnival. And you see as she looks dower that the carnival ticker does move down one. Oh. Oh, the happiness? Mm-hmm.

Oh, no. Move back to square one. So, would you, would you be willing to help? Would you be willing to help me? If you're going to Prismair anyway, I, all I can offer is a small bit of information I was able to hide away in my riddle.

And you can give us the riddle now? I can. Well, you'll have to solve it yourself, of course. We are great at Rulose. Fusty and I ask each other riddles all the time. I say Riddle quite loosely. We're both. We were a great team at Riddles. It's not really like a verbal... I'll explain the terms, if you should agree. But via the rule of reciprocity, I'm offering the riddle and the answers that come along with it, the information. and you are offering to at least inquire an attempt to help separate me from my steed.

Yeah, I mean, we'll definitely do what we can. And we need to be explicit, separate, not just, like, you get your legs back and Sir Cloppington just his head back. We're not making a Faye Pact, but yes, I would just simply like your help. Well, Sir Clopington dead before all this, if you don't mind me asking. No, he was not. He had gone missing. All right, so this wasn't some kind of decorative names to be here. I was hoping to be reunited with him, but just not in this way. Hmm.

No good Steve goes unpunished, it seems. Yes, unfortunately. You can see that the underlying sorrow makes it hard for her to laugh, but she found it amusing. Well, sure. All right. Well, as you can see, as you can see, I've separated the carousel. It's separated into four pairs of unicorns. Each unicorn would like to find its name.

Oh? So, well, here, and she reaches out and she hands you what appears to be a crayon, and it is a metallic gold. Just simply find their name tags. Reunite them with their name, all of them, and if it please them, we'll see what happens next. Wait, so this is a unicorn puzzle? Yes. Oh, man, you know, this day just keeps getting better. It is a really nice day.

Aren't you so excited? Isn't this the nicest day that Popo's giving you? Oh, it's so nice. We're having fun. Will everybody stop screaming? How does that sound? I have no idea. All right, well, wait, so we need to find names for four unicorns.

Do you mean the unicorns at the carous sale? There are eight unicorns in total. There are four pairs of unicorns. And they have lost their names. And we need to name all eight of them. You must, you don't name them. You must find their names. Oh, oh.

Find the names, all right. Find the names of all eight? Yes. I will keep the ride under construction until you're through. That way no one can bother you while you are trying to solve the puzzle. When we solve it, can we ride afterwards? Yes. Oh, right.

I will have to, I will have to, I will have to charge you a puzzle. punch, though. That's fun. No, we're happy to. I might use all... Hoochie really had her heart set on, she loves unicorns. I don't know if I told you this, but I really love, really, really, really, really love you. Oh, she really love, she really love unicorns.

I mean, you don't have to scream it, but I think I love unicorns more than Hooszie does. That's how much I love unicorns. I don't know about that. You should go spend time with them then and solve the puzzle before you. The unicorns are gone on the eyes. What?

You're gonna go to a little child. I mean, a scream of this is how to understand. Full little child. Also, you are a very attractive goblin. Oh. You're beautiful. Thank you. You're welcome.

It's about time someone finally notices my unholy radio. He doesn't always look like this. I think it's probably the deep pools of black in his eyes. I'm sorry, you have vines growing out of your nostrils. Yes, I know. I am attempting to ignore what is happening to me Is it tickle? Very much.

You haven't sneezed even once, the Constitution on you. I used my tongue to tickle the top of my mouth and it distracts me just enough not to sneeze. Oh. It's requiring a great deal of concentration. I propose that we solve this riddle immediately and perhaps will be resolved of these... Well, we should get to look,

and their names have to be around here. somewhere. Oh, maybe they have a name tag. Oh, shit. Man's name tags. Oh, they're nice. Well, this is a... No, we have a rod of a set. With these crowns. These what? It's what Mr. Rosloff called these things.

It's a crown. A crown? Oh, do you mean a crayon? Wait, are you guys gas-loading me? I'm just regular lighting you. Oh, it's kind of nice. Oh, you're still glowing. So you're glowing in all by there. I imagine.

then it's actually between the vines and then it's creating those god rays. Oh yeah, definitely, that's beautiful. I like that. Am I, do I have like a radiating beauty to me with like black eyes? Yeah, you think you're, you think you're, your hot ship.

Oh, in place of a dark lord, you would have a queen! Not dark and beautiful and terrible as the dorm. See, Kremi, now he's screaming. Yeah, no, I mean, oh, he's always, treacher of the seas. Oh, I'm all good, A dwarf out of God is up you.

A dwarf runs up to you and asks for her hair. Oh, my hair? Yeah, I can't do the accent. What do you mean? Well, because Gimley wanted a piece of her hair. Is it like a little kid dwarf? Yeah, I never need.

Hey, how'd you get in here? Right close for maintenance. I just really would like a piece of your hair, please. Or a locket. Oh, you know, little strange dwarf. Child, that's a little creepy, but I'm in a good mood. Here you go, child. That's it.

Don't use any creepy divination, match. Get out of here. Oh, me. You get out of here. Thanks for indulging me since I can't do that accent. That doesn't actually happen. What's your name? Name tags.

What's your name? What's whose name? The dwarf. No, that doesn't really happen. Oh. Not canon? No, it's canon. But I loved child Gilmy.

Okay, Child Gilmy's there. Child Gilmy. I say this Gilmy. That tickled Rich. Steve was Gilmy? Wait. What was your name, little boy? What's your name?

What's your name? Oh, it's just child gilmy. It's what me parents call me. Uh, uh, I mean, I'll go away if you want. Are you sure? Yes. Are you sure they don't just look at you and say, oh, gill me? Oh, that G is so important. No, gill me. The GIL isn't goblin. You were about to kill a child. I mean, send a child to a farm.

I was about to use Mold Earth to bury him. I'm alive. That makes you surprisingly more dangerous than I realize, as you say that. Never trusted a magic user. I have a older. One body. We have a riddle involved. Goodbye, Kuhn, I mean, Gilmy.

All right, this is kind of your thing. I mean, I'll just, I'll pet the pretty... Yeah, no, we're really great at riddles. We're a great team at rhythms. I'm happy to hear it, but for you to solve it, you actually have to go to the carousel and solve it. Oh, wow. It's so beautiful. We can get right over there.

Okay. Goodbye, Gilmy. Enjoy my hair. How did you get in here? Come on, let me escort you out. And she walks away as she escorts Gilney out of the carousel. Remember, stronger than the foundations of the earth. Which kind of name is Crappington?

And what's the name of my trustee, stay? Hey, Gilmy, get out. I keep telling you to stop coming in here. I'm pink. I miss video games. And with that, you are left alone at the carousel. It is no longer in motion. What you did notice is that the carousel, when it is not in motion,

they're just these old wooden unicorns. There are four pairings in total, eight unicorns. So two, two, two, and two. That makes sense. And that when the carousel came alive, the unicorns did too. They would shake out their mains. They would shimmer with vibrant colors. But in this state, they are much more subdued.

They look more like painted wooden unicorns. I need you to roll an investigation check, please. All of us? We'll have crummy to it because he loves unicorn so much. Oh, but what a little team? Well, I'm not even really investigating. I'm just petting a unicorn. I'm not really helping.

Well, who would like to invest in? I would obviously meet with the group. Okay. And I'm saying, ah, yes, Frosty, we're a great team at riddance. So please do it at disadvantage. That makes sense. You distracted von Mawson. Yeah, you're gorgeous.

Stupid sexy Grigaud. It's not I'm wearing nothing at all. I know. I know. I know. Just a regular investigation. no disadvantage for sure. Disadvantage, okay.

You will be able to. Hey, it's not too bad. Well, that's actually really decent money. I'll take a dirty 20. The Fay will it. So you look around at them and you notice that on the harnesses, there is a carved nameplate.

And you see that the first one, as you look between the two, the two horses, that one of the horses actually has their full name. Fortune. The other one has the letter B, and then what looks to be three empty spaces. I was going, I was thinking it, oh, Frosty, I was thinking it before you even told me it was a B. I was thinking that even before, man, we're so good at riddles. Yes.

Well, you got solved it already Yeah, yeah, no, yeah, it is true. Well, we were just working on these first two horses. The game is a hoof, so to speak. Yeah, exactly. I think we should each of us, there are four pairs. We should each examine two horses at a time

and try to get a sense, and then we'll rotate if we're stuck on a problem. I'm going to spend some time with Fortune B. here. Well, I'll take a look at these two. Oh, bold. The dying that was tricky, though. You'll get it now. Bold? Fortune favors the bold, Frosty. Won't try it. Should we try to inscribe it here on the

name to it? A crown fit for a monarch. You write the letters, O-L-D, and nothing seems to happen, but so far you've only named one horse or one unicorn. All right, Gid. Should we look at this other pair? Well, yeah, let's see what we can figure out here. Fucking keep it down, all right?

What? Stop, stop. I'm not screaming. Oh, my God. Well, I'm screaming a little now. All right. You're frustrating me. Just try to use, like, one word sentences.

Okay. You know, the one thing I'll never forget is the sound of their screams. Chugglers, who are you even talking about? Who screams? That's why no one came to your shows. They all screamed. All right. This pretty pink unicorn.

Ice cream. Oh, my God. What is the name? You scream. We all scream. Whoa. In the terrible house fire at the family reunion. Just hold on, hold on.

Chuckles is telling one of his dark backstores again. You know, he always seems to be doing that. Oh, how many origins? can one clown half. And, you know, until you punch a guy, you really never know what he's gone through. Yeah, if I had known that he'd haunt me all my days just because I punched him in the body and killed him.

I probably still would have done it. It was like punched him in the body and stuff. Frankly, not that grave transgression, if we're going to be honest. I mean, I mean, I didn't mean to do it. You know, dangerous right? Yeah, I mean, you did mean to feed him to the pigs, farm. I told you to do that. He had that fit. What were we gonna do? Just leave him in the grass? Ticket sales will plummet.

We'd have to start charging double for us. I mean, corpses ain't gonna be in this idea. We have this conversation like dozens of times. Let's try to wrap us. Oh God, actually. You guys tell you. Extreme guilt. All right, anyway, I fucking love you. And look at the name tags. You look at the name tags and you see that one of these horses is named Fall. The other one is what you see is P R blank blank blank.

All right. Fall is one of them. So that's one. P.R. Blank, blank, blank. Okay, where's the Dardin dynamic duo heading next, Frosty? and let's take the next pair. The riddle, the ravel raptors. They keep talking about Chuggles for some reason.

Let's just move on to this Thursday. Yeah, why is Gideon haunted by the murder of Chuckles? Well, did you see how hard he hit his body? I actually, I didn't hit him that hard. He was a little weak frame. Right here, that's the kidney. Well, I'm not a surgeon. I was not a surgeon.

I mean, I actually, I didn't see it. I heard it. We go up to the next pair. You go up to the next pair forces. You look in the same spot, you find the name tags, and what you see here is that one of the horses and it's named Stone, the other one is M space space S. It's fascinating.

Do you guys have a name combo yet? Have you had any ideas of the relationship? We've got a couple ideas. I'm just not ready to share them Yeah Look, we all keep working on that one We're a rebel We're a dynamic duo

We already got Moss over here I don't think it's Moss Oh You think it's Moss? Moss doesn't gather on a rolling stone Frosty That's not bad Yeah, well

We already have We have a P Fall Price Like price dropping. Oh, falling prices. Yeah. Oh, that's the worst. Yeah. In your competition drives prices down. Oh, oh, of course it's pride! Pride comments before the fall! Come on.

That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Fall pride? Yeah, most likely. This is like baby games. I don't even know all these fancy sayants. I mean, there was a lot of time on the ships. It's Govieve and Huy-Dave and I. I've seen a lot of sayings and stories. Pride before the fall, huh? What do you think?

I mean, I don't know. That doesn't feel right. It doesn't feel like it flows, you know? Yeah. Oh, maybe not. I mean, it's just storytelling. Didn't you grow up in villages where you just tell stories to each other?

That's all we had to do to pass the time. Well, no, that's not what we mean. Have you been to Goblin towns? No. When would I have ever been to a goblin town? The food is terrible. The women are beautiful, and all the things to do is to tell stories. Well, if the women look like you, yeah.

I bet they are beautiful. Have you always been so symmetrical, by the way? What? This is the best rigablin I've ever heard. Have you always been sad? It's a hard cut to handsome squid word. Oh, thank you for nudity. With pitch black eyes.

I feel like I can cut my hands slapping those cheeks. Gideon is a disaster. Oh, you charmer. Thank you. So are you writing any names down? Are you doing anything? What do you think, yes? The ideas?

I'll let you have a crack. I'll take the last one. Okay. You look at this one. and you see that one of the horses is named Stitch. And the other horse is blank, blank, N, blank. Blank, blank, N blank? Four letters.

Oh, that's the easiest one yet. You know, I'm seeing fall space, PR, blank, blank, blank, right? Yeah. See it too. What I'm thinking when I see the word fall is falling down, and I was reminded when you bunched juggled. So, it's so hard that he laughed until he died. He felt prone, didn't he?

Oh, well, what's the definition of prone? Prone means like, you know, horizontal. Oh, yeah, he was prone. Yeah, you broke every rib I had. God's you were strong, man. They never tell you how they shit themselves. Before or after, chuckle. They don't put that in the phone.

Gosh, I wish they were wine in hell. Poor Gideon, honestly, that wouldn't want a nightmare that was like that. Oh, the last one's nine. Easy. How is the last one nine? A stitching tong saves none, Frosty. Scurvy Davis, the most well-read. Fire at the shipw him out of him, man.

Maybe he was smuggling books. Oh, God. I'm sweating through my shirt. I think Grigo may have sung all in these. Well, he didn't get prone. That's what I got. I write in R.O. N.E. Or O.N.E.

Okay. So we've written in bold. Okay. Prone. Mm-hmm. Moss, and nine. You do this and nothing happens. You misspelled pride.

Grigo's got it. Fall pride? Fall pride. I don't know. I mean, I think you fall prone. You see what happened to John. No, no, he has a saying. You have to have a knowledge about the saying.

See, fortune favors the bold. Favors the bold. So we're going fortune bold. I thought perhaps it was Boone and that it was actually a synonymous thing. That would make a... Ball boom? Yeah.

No, no, no, no, no. Fortune Boone. Fall prone. Sort of similar meaning. He's saying like the second word is like a, you know, similar word to the first. All right, look.

I mean, do you seem to have a racist? Look how proud is you, you know, unicorn. Yes, you would easily be able to remove it. No, you didn't sharpie. I use my thumbnail, That's like screened off the crayon. Oh, it's dry, right?

And I'll put in IDE. As you finish writing the E, all of the unicorns turn into actual unicorns. And you see eight unicorns standing there in front of you. They pawed down at the, gonna fucking pull right through their bodies. That's a horrible. Ah!

Where are you going? Put it up. Oh my God, immediately. Cremie, now we're screaming, we're screaming, Cremys. Oh my God, this place is certainly worse than our carnival. Roll initiative. My musical blood!

This mercurial silver is spilling out. Anywho, you watch as they take an active form. You can still see they are made of wood. These are not true, to life unicorns, but they're as close to them as they can possibly be, as they turn towards you and they winnie and they make noises. And Grico, you hear a voice in your head. Looks like you solved the puzzle.

Oh, now it's me and firstly, we're a team. Oh, modest. So humble. Oh, thank you. In the track. I'm trying to see a good role model for my daughter here, who's just been dying to meet you, whichever a unicorn you are. I mean all of the unicorn. This is hoochy to cutie, cutey.

Hugy, cutey, grim, grim. Oh my gosh, they're real. Zabilna is frozen in time. Three hags have seized control of Zabalna's domain and have split it amongst themselves. Together, these hags form the hourglass coven.

The hag's names are Bavlornah Blightstra, Scabatha Nightshay, and Endelen Moongrove. Unicorn, slow down. And their splinter realms are called hither, thither, and yawn. The coven is so riddled with distrust that each hag is convinced her sisters are plotting against her.

Good luck. The unicorn says this. And then. To me or to everybody? To you in your mind. Oh, just before it dies on it. It is telepathically. And then you watch as blood spills out of its mouth.

It's clearly, it moved. And the... pole that was going through its body was removed from the area it was clotting as the blood spills forth and it just collapses to the ground. This is what it feels like to be punched in the body. No,

that doesn't happen. This is not this is not edge of midnight. This is witch-like. They die where they stand. They don't fall on the ground. But no, as you finish getting this information, the unicorns, you watch as all the unicorns toss their mains this way and that and with one final

Winnie, they turned back into what. Oh, yeah. I mean, we solved a, yeah, it was easy to solve the rid of what's all just saying, and then with the B, B, B, B, B, V-B-B-B-W-W. Griegel, I have to admit, the fact that you were able to solve this puzzle so quickly and easily is the most useful and

intelligent thing I've seen you do in the entire time that I've known you. It's truly remarkable. My hat is off to you. If I had a hat. Oh, you know, Frosty. All the while, you're hearing the stuff from the unicorn Frosty is talking at you. Yeah, yeah, you're hearing any of my podcast. I just also say how attractive you are right now.

Very symmetrical. I think the most useful thing he's done is just stand there and smile. What? Hourglass Coven? What? Free splinter realms. Splinter realms.

And if you're here and I'm here, then who's? Oh, boy. Is it chuckled? Oh, and as they, as they go, back to how they were, you feel your fay curses fade from you. All of them? Except for cremys packed that he made. He still loves unicorns.

So did I see them come alive? Yeah. Oh. What happened? Do they speak to you? You know, I never forgave you, Gideon. Well, you know what, Chuggles? I never asked for it, okay?

Because you were at the farm. Isn't that fading? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So with that, you are now standing at the carnival. You are standing at the carousel. You watch as the unicorns go back to their stationary motion. Grico, you've just had this experience where you've had this information just offloaded onto very quickly. As all of you feel that strange Fay magic that had been affecting you fade away,

Grico, you become wrinkled and disgusting again. Your eyes. I feel like a pupsicle. I can hear your face. Grigo, have you always been so age symmetrical? He's like two-faced. You know, my mom always said I had a nose personality. I'll know where Zibirrish personality.

is and what happened to her. What? Wow. Wait, wait, what? Go on out. The unicorn spoke to me. As reward. Spoken in your mind. It spoke into my mind because I solved a, we solved a riddle together, Frosty.

I should have known that they were zionic in nature. Cyclops. I'm sorry, what? No, cyclops is a giant. kin was one eye and a horn occasionally. They both have horns, actually. It's also a play on words. It's sionic and sionic and then clop.

Well, unicorn is a celestial creature and it's generally native to the upper plains, but it's found in the Faye Wild and the material plane and all over. It was my attempt of a joke. Please tell us what information. Oh! It was about the hooves.

You overlook the hooves. Sionic, cloppy feet. She's frozen in time, and it's all on account of free hags. It's always hags. Three. There's three of them into Coven

and they split it up Prismere into hithered and yon. Yon. Did you mispronounce that? Is it thither?

Or is it just the zither? It's hither, thither, and yon. Yon or yon? Yon with an O. Y O.N. Y O'N.

It's not yon. Yon. It's not yon. Go thither and then we shall go yon. Dirk. To yon market. place.

And it gets me every time. This little piggy went to Yon Market. So what we have to do is kill these three hags? All we have to do? Well, yeah, we have to kill that. Well, we have to figure out how to deal with the hags. I don't know if you've got to kill them. Well, there's these hags that have trapped him.

So she's like stuck. She's frozen in time. Does all these three hags. And they're called the hourglass coven, probably on account of the fact that she's frozen in time. I mean, yeah, that stands the reason. Didn't matter. ask us just to find out how Zablna was doing?

No, we needed to find her so he can say, oh, Zabina is safe so I can die peacefully with a slice of pumpkin pot. Do you think you'd be satisfied if we went back right now and we're like, well, she's frozen in time. Please hand over millions of gold people. No, she's distressed.

There's free hags that carved up a realm into hivavre viv, yeah, I mean, that's like the exact opposite of what he wants. That's the last thing he wants, Frosty. He has gratitude towards his patron who's horribly trapped in time and around was it was our agreement terms we were gonna say we're okay then we were gonna reunite them we were going to allow for a reu not reunotion reunition yeah and deliver

his letter to it didn't you write a hand in letter she can't read it well we can't second time you just be like no frost I'll check the terms all right and I'll snap and a you'll see the sort of shadow erupt and the contract that he signed with his own blood will appear floating in the air and I'll grab it and I'll let's. All right, let's see. Do you remember the exact nature of the view?

The exact nature was that he wanted to be reunited with his patron. He wants to be able to tell her thank you and say his goodbyes before he dies because he wants to die. Yep, reunited. He wants to. We need to create the reunion. We need to bring reunion.

So we are going to, oh, I like that. Thank you. Are we going to, we're going to have to rescue Zubilum by unfreezing time by getting a hang. Yeah, we have to go to the hollow bastion and she's frozen in Tom. It's going to be crazy and the music's going to be really cool. And the unicorns didn't tell you anything else about these hags. We have no wheels.

No, all these, their names are, um, gray. Bevlornah Blightstraw. Bevona Blotstrelina. Bavlona. Bavlona. Blight. Blight straw. Not straw.

Strop? Straw. Stop letting Grico tell you. I'm getting this ear on her and your ear, I can't hear her. Blight straw. Bavlornna Blightstraw. Yes. Scabitha Nightshade.

Scabatha. Scabitha. Scabitha Nightshade. Oh man, she's going to look disgusting. God give us again. No, she's His name's Scabather. She's going to be like,

Oh, why did you do that? Come here, my little gosling. Come on a snack from you, Scavitha. I'm most worried about Scavath. And then Miss Moongrave. And then it's Endeline Moongrave, and it's E-E-E-N-D-E-L-Y-N-N-D-L-Y-N.

End E. L-Y-N. Endelan M-Grave. Moongrave. Why would it be M-Grave? I love M-Graim. Is she a dancing?

She actually sounds kind of hot, though. We just talk to someone named Kloppington. We have to take these names very literally. Oh, she's the end of them. Probably the third wonderful face. Oh, maybe she's got... Oh, that makes sense. A green on the moon?

Oh. And you also... Grico would have told you that the coven is riddled with distrust Oh yeah, they hate each other. He's convinced that her sisters are plotting against her. They hate each other.

Oh, that's very good for Peter. Yeah, we can beat them against each other, yes. Well, wait a second. Before that, Unicorn died a horrific death. Did it tell you how to get into the shadow realms of Prismair's shattered hagibis? Yeah, what he said?

No. Oh, well, good. Well, no, but didn't, I mean... No, Cloppington, Diane said she's going to help us get there. Hey? No. What's his name? Madrick. Madrid told us that the witch-like carnival is how we get to Prisnium. Oh, that's right. Once it's over, we'll just be in Prismia. You'll see what he says. That's what he said. She's on a unicorn rocking back and forth with the paws around the thing.

Well, thank you. The unicorn, I guess they're no longer able to hear us, perhaps they can. That's too bad. They were really pretty. I mean, they're still very pretty. It was very nice crush me. I mean, the Hoochies, look at how much fun Hoochie's having. It's so beautiful and cute. Yeah, we didn't even get to ride them. When we did get enough information to, I think, honor the rule of reciprocity, we have to do something for Diana to assist her in...

That's amazing. Seeing her destiny. We have to sever the... I mean, I mean, separate healthfully Sir Cloppington and Diana. What did she say about who... It must have been one of these hacks who did this to her.

And she did say she. Mushrooms. Who has mushrooms? What do we fix? Is that mushrooming? No. What was it? Nightshade, Moongrove, Moongrave.

Moongrave. I mean, graves, mushrooms. It's kind of blight strong. It could. No, it's scabre. It's definitely scabre. I can see moongrave. I can see moongrave.

Oh, mushrooms on a grave. It could be both. Oh, wait. We could have to give the- We could ask first. She may know. We could ask. I don't think she could tell us.

I don't want to say, Oh, it's a dude. hourglass covered. Oh, no, I can't hear that. My head's going to explode. She probably would explode. Like her hooves get caught off when they bleed until she dies?

Oh. Who would make a pact where that's an outcome? That's terrifying. Just say a name. I mean, at very least we'd be able to make glue afterwards. That's just, that's just the trim. That's very grim, Bruce. What would we even need glue for?

Look at how happy boots is. Look at how full my fucking backpack is. I go ahead and move the one hour. Oh, shit. We got to do it. Diana, we'd like to ride the thing. I mean, she's having a very nice time while she's not moving, but we'd like it to move.

Yes, we're running out of time. I'm more than happy. So, yes, I've been here for a while. I'm sorry about the glue comment. That's fine. Oh, it would be a little absurd. I'm sorry? Nothing.

I'm filled with sorrow already, as it were. So, like water off a duck's back. Remember to smile for the children. Gilmy will be back any moment. Why don't you present your ticket, and I will punch it for you? And then you can punch it yourself, but she goes through and she punches each one of your tickets once. I'm going to attempt to pierce the ticket. And you are able to, you are able to mount the unicorns, and as she starts the ride,

They all come to life and you spend a good couple of minutes just going around in circles on these unicorns. Wee! We! We! We! We! Oh, isn't it such a fun day out with Dad! I'm so glad I'm not eating consumed by vines and leaves anymore.

Yeah, you're such a fun day with Dad. You were going to go home and you're going to tell Mom that you're at the best day and that Walter sucks. I think God. He didn't skip blanketing, motherfucker. Let's go. This is actually sponsored by Bad Dragon. Good Lord.

Good Lord. Have you seen the price of glue? I was not able to pierce the which light ticket. It's very much. I'll pierced it. Oh, you did? I pierced it, yeah. Damn.

I pierced it. Yeah, it works really hard at least. Punched. This is the greatest day of my life. It's so beautiful. This is a, actually quite a fine day already. However, there's

a lot of rides left and we have limited time. It seems that it's getting darker. Well, uh, thank you. This is very nice. Oh, isn't it so nice hoot-see? I accidentally broke the horn off of my unicorn. You're going to have to glue it back on.

All right. Oh, fuck. That's connected to my spine. Ah! They're not really awkward. Fuck! Oh! Ow! He said calmly. He said calmly.

I thought that was what you were supposed to hold on to, and it... Well, they are Lord. Well, thank you for the information. Yes. We promised to do right by the rule of reciprocity, the third rule, perhaps the most important one. Equal or lesser value. the equal value or approximate

or comparable whatever it was store credit or something I think was how it was named I really greatly appreciated anything that you can do to help but just please be careful I you seem capable you seem

different than most but it will not be easy and I don't have all the answers you seek because there are others working the carnival that can help you. Just... It will be difficult.

Prepare yourselves before you try to make your way into Prismia. We will endeavor to do so. Is there anyone that we should be helping also or that we should not be helping specifically? It's scamophers, isn't it? She explodes in the machine. All right. It's scabatha, isn't it for what?

I'm sorry, what? What cursed you? She what cursed you? She what cursed you? She, she begins to start to nod her head, and as she does, a disgusting dark brown sap begins to spill out of her mouth. Oh, so sorry.

She looks horrified as the mushrooms begin to grow on her hands again, but this time they, they pop like these like pustules as she winces in pain. Oh, sorry, sorry. She tries to keep herself completely still as eventually the sap proceeds and the mushrooms fade away. I'm so sorry, but also I told you, Frosty. I wasn't asking about that. I was asking here at the carnival.

Is there anyone that we should distrust? Not this larger question. You misunderstood me. The point is we got your information. We'll do what we can. Thank you. I appreciate it. Well, wait a second.

There are people as a carnival other which light hands that I'm sure could use your help. They would be much more likely to give you additional information. Depending on where they are and what rides they tend to, they would know things that I possibly could not. The more you help, the more likely you are to find allies here. So, like, do we have to get, you know, what done he did mention? we have to get her to like agree to reverse this and just like a punch to the ribs kind of situation.

I'm unsure. Well, well, I think we have what we need. We know it involves killing stuff, and between the four of us, I think we can make pretty good on that. Hopefully some ribs. Yeah, can't solve puzzles. I thought it was prone.

I walk up to one of the drink carts very quickly, and I will grab one of the giggles. juices. Let's find ourselves at one of these games and perhaps we can find additional allies. Well, I mean, kid did say it was hungry and all this unicorn bullshit kind of worked up an appetite and we're right by the feasting orchards. So, oh. Maybe we can grab a bite. Yeah, let's do that. I guess that was lovely. We hit there. Well, it was really nice to be here. I thought you were glued.

I've been here this whole time. You came to us to the drink cart? You came with us to the drink cart within the carousal area? Oh, this is well equipped. Yes, there are bathrooms over yonder ho. Oh yeah, don't say that. It was very nice to meet you. Please enjoy the rest of the carnival.

I know that we already agreed, but if you could just put in a good word about the drink cart adding a certainly chapel I really think he'd like it. Yeah, I also think we served at it at our carnival and we lost our money and we had to lay

everyone off and we had to run away from some colonies who were very upset with Grammy. That was just a bad idea for you know I said anything. There's a suggestion box on your way out.

I'm dead on him, but it reads that. Million platinum, oh dear. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. We will avenge you. Thank you.

And you make your way to the feasting orchard. You know, I don't want to go to the suggestion box, but it's probably going to cast a suggestion on us. That actually was going to have. That was fucking genius. First of all,

to say, I knew it was scabbard for the whole time. That just seemed like a scavenor thing to do. Do you notice that she said yonder and didn't explode in the mushrooms? Oh. It sounded like she was about to. Well, I'll know that her weight was yon. Was that scapher's realm? No.

Do you have an indication, any indication from the unicorn which one corresponded? Yes. Blight straw was hither. Okay. Not shade, Scalifer. Fips. How would you know this?

She didn't tell you what? Oh, she didn't? Oh, okay. The unicorn didn't say what. Oh, well, I was presuming the rule of freedom. They told me free which is in order, and hibber, river, and drawn in order as well. And that's exactly what happened.

I'm making a presumption. Okay, no presumptions. But I believe that Yon is where Andlin Mungrave is. Does Frost, did Frost perceive her saying yonder and being capable of saying yonder without issue? She was capable of saying yonder. And she was just afraid. She was afraid to say anything that was related to the Hags, period. It was more that.

But unlike when she was trying to acknowledge. something relating to scabatha, in which she physically could not. Can I make some sort of deduction or insight whether or not that was a clue from her speech that Jan was something safe for her to say, even if she was afraid to say it, versus when she is incapable of saying something with... I would say that it was easily able to see that even though she was afraid to say it, she was capable of saying it. She didn't get those horrible shroom scabs.

I think that she's... Whichever her hag cursed her was from hither or thither, based on this information. What? She was able to say yonder without turning into sappy mushrooms. That's why I think that it was scabbiafah. Well, yonder is also a different word. Maybe if she had said, like... I said, it's scabifer, and she nodded. We got the answer. That's false.

She started to nod, and then she started to sneeze out. But we're a team, Frosty. We figured it out. Frosty and Grick-O, the problem solved. extraordinary rabble rousers of riddles. All right. I'm putting a little question mark in the through their column for Diana Klopping. That's great. You have columns.

See, this is why we're a team. I've got a whole matrix. I've got permutations. This is why we're a team. Frosty's got the permutations. Sure. Crummy, he's the leader. Mm-hmm.

Gideon punches people on the ribs. Right in the body. Right in the body. Really? Generally, Nepali, very hot. Yeah, really quite hot. I haven't seen torsos, and then I haven't seen them because you punched them.

Yeah, well, sometimes I hit him with my knee. Who she's the heart and the soul of the group? Get here in the pawns! At one time, I accidentally got mine controlled by a monster and hit Grico's someone on the face with my knee. Oh, man, I didn't think he was recovering from that one. That was there during that time. Yeah, I know, I'm just reminiscing with you.

No, I heard a shine, a shine go, ding! And I got, I got K-Oed. I flew off the screen, I exploded. Did he then float down on a disc and then they were already doing? That's what happened. You know, I was like, well, you can buy my popcorn. And I was flashing right, and I'm like, oh, I'll feel invincible. Oh, that was brief.

And with that, you've made your way to the feasting orchards. Oh, and I have a nice personality. Let's go. To the feasting orchard. Oh, who's she? Are you ready? I hope they have a children's menu. Oh, I hope kids eat free. Oh, no, we all eat free. Let's feast. Music and mirth radiate from this park.

The heady scent of flowers, meat, and blueberry pie, waffed through the air. Stilt walkers pluck fruit from trees, musicians drum, pipe, and strum. And everywhere, they're singing, dancing, and an inordinate amount of custard. And that is where we'll end the session. Oh!
