**Location: Waterdeep (Black Dog Inn.)**

Caesar/Hemnon/Kieln/Guilliman/Nirn/Renoa/Raoul.

**Session Overview.**

Raoul's outta jail and Scruffins is his babysitter for a week. The party goes to the festival to kill the clown and enjoy themselves. Renoa loses almost all her money. Dunmoore hands a note to Nirn asking to meet after dark at the docks. Kieln was bespelled to place a mask from a crate on his face. Everybody throws up eating fish pie or leftover pie. Combat begins and the clown has crystal-like beasties that he sets on the group. When the party gains the advantage with the help of scruffins, the clown retreats underground. The party follows closely.

**Notable Events:**

* Raoul awakens to a visitor in his cell, Scruffins. He is now wearing a collar of sorts and Scruffins informs him that she has been ‘hired’ to babysit him for a week and that today they’ll be heading to the festival.
* Once Raoul arrives at the Black Dog Inn, he is given his share of the magical items from the sewers and Nirn proposes a toast to “Staying out of prison...hopefully!” The group eat breakfast and Hemnon asks Scruffins where she think the clown may be. Scruffins says she thinks he’ll be at the festival and mentions that she believes he may be involved in slave trading.
* Virt approaches the party and thanks them for rescuing Liana.
* The party arrives at the fairground to see quite a few familiar faces. The Youngest Goblin brother, Dunmoore, The Scrappy Kid from the Fighting Ring and a new face, a Illithid (Mind Flare) named Sweets who sells “wacky tabacky” and looks 95% dead.
* The party asks around after their target and enjoys themselves - Nirn smokes some “wacky tabacky” and gets super bold. Dunmoore hands Nirn a note “Meet me at the docks after dark.” - Nirn jokes that he’s asking her on a date and Dunmoore looks less than enthusiastic. Renoa hands their coin purse to the young scrappy kid who then dimension doors away with it. There were talks of a plan to punch a clown in the face to test if they were real, but Scruffins stopped that. Kieln beats a rigged carnival game so hard that the owner closes the stall for the day...but he wins a cool prize. Hemnon snoops through crates waiting to be delivered and Kieln is forced to put a mask on. Everybody enters a pie eating contest and most of us throw up - scruffins wins and gives the prize money away.
* The show is about to start and upon entering the big tent, the party notices the WW (Mergen, Orvus, Roscoe) who seem to be esorting another person, a young woman with Blue skin. Nirn gives Roscoe back his horn, mentioning that she “found” it. Orvus tells her to keep his badge for now. Nirn returns to her seat and Guilliman initiates combat with the clown. All the other supporting clowns turn out to be crystal-like “shard” beasts. Scruffins helps defeat them and the WW whisk the Blue skinned woman to safety.
* The clown retreats and the party follows. Nirn found Dunmoore and convinced him to join and help. There’s a structure underground and it appears to be where the clown fled to. The party gives chase.

**Notable Characters Met:**

* Sweets - Illithid and seller of wacky tobacky. Talks in your mind but not in a gross way like the clown does. Looks very close to death 24/7.
