CircusSJE/Carnivale set up in Hot District- people streaming in, joyous music from it.
Big Top- Ringmaster is leading the clowns and trapeze artists around the tent. Crowd enthralled as a Tyrant Lizard eats someone and then they pop back out! High diver dives into a glass of water. Member of the audience is swung up by cruel trapeze artists- always letting them go, bashing them into nets & poles. She also has fear of heights. Keeps screaming.
Fortune Tent. Pay the Fae Gypsy and she will show you your future. Tarot cards come alive, showing animated scenes that will come true. “What has happened before will happen again!” Scenes depend on attitude of PC to her. Lose point of Valour to Ravishing.
Strong Man- Fae Cataphract with Str 8, Dex 4. Insanely lethal hammer…
Lion Tent- Animal tents- Abacasteri- wounded. Lionfolk eating people. Rhino escaping. Simhata (Golden maned superhorse) kneels toward Exalt. Desert Basilisk spits fire.
Big wheel & fair ground- go round, don’t come back. Everything inverted. In Upside-down world. Need to climb back.
Horses on Merry-Go-Round- turn live- great cavalry charge.
Carnies steal your soul in little bits. Streamers of gauzy energy coming from Gemites into the mouths of the Fae.
Centre of disturbance- of Wyld energy is the Ringmasters caravan. Terrible thumping heard from inside- crate battened down, reality distoritions coming off it. (makes you longer or shorter like crazy mirror. Left handed instead of right…..
Inside a morphic ball of silver madness and flesh. Constantly changing- lupine head, then eagles, then horse- a chimera Lunar, inundated with Wyld energy. Killing or absorbing Wyld essence earns PC a Lunar Exaltation.
