And then I got sick.

I believe I am sick. I don't feel cold at any other time, especially when it's as warm as it has been. I'm going to stick to a recap this time without the full conversations included.

As our adventurous heroes returned from the riot they prepared to perform the show at the Sky Serpent Inn. They momentarily conversed about what the gnomish merchant guild might do before Sevn gave them the signal that they could perform. They meandered on to the stage and Prosepon announced them. Berenwick told jokes while Nessa and Onala did amazing things with their hands and feet. Tin and Prosepon recited as they usually did. Then a barmaid spilled on the stage. Her tray emptied on to the stage and Onala added a potato into her routine. The performers noted the minor slipperiness and moved on. The performance continued until the back of the stage collapsed onto them. The back of the stage is a set of boards that separated the on stage from the back stage. The performers were moderately bruised but mostly it injured their dignity. The performers successfully convinced the audience that it was all part of the act. They also checked for loose floor boards as Nessa almost fell through one. They eyed the gnomes in the audience, looking for suspicious characters and found none. They found some bad floorboards and managed to avoid them. Then the barmaid came back carrying a candle. All the performers were suspicious at this point that the barmaid was going to drop it on something flammable, like the stage. Onala grabbed for the candle but klutzily knocked it onto the stage. The stage instantly caught fire. It seems the liquid that the barmaid spilled was flammable. The barmaid hit the deck, the front rows scooted back, and the performers attempted to not catch fire. Tin summoned a large amount of water over the stage and promptly doused the fire. After the stage was out Nessa asked for a volunteer from the group. Needless to say she volunteered the barmaid who was trying to sneak away. As she pulled her up on stage, Sevn commented that she didn't work for him at all. Nessa sent fire spinning around the fake barmaid and she was suitably cowed. Then they dragged the barmaid to the back room of the inn as the crowd applauded them. The fake barmaid quickly confessed to everything as the gnomish merchant guild had her father. They had him at the Hammer and Pint tavern last she saw him and there they explained she was to make the performers at the Sky Serpent Inn leave town or else. Then they plotted how to work around the hostage situation that the merchant guild had created. They planned to leave the city to fool the gnomish merchant guild into thinking they were gone and use the distraction to rescue her father. They planned a little longer before it was time for everyone to go.

Overall I think everyone had a goodly amount of fun. Prosepon did comment that she hoped to use her battle dancing abilities at some point. She was held back by the rest of the characters when she was going to fight the mob. While she has plenty of social skills (they all do) she's possibly the best equipped to take on a fight since I added a few feats to bring the class up to par. All in all I hope to continue the fun and continue learning the art of DMing.
