Session 5 — Moments

Standout beats from the night, one card each.

Reunion

A ghost at the tool stall

Orimene froze mid-step at the sight of a dead man alive. Azran, equally sure he was seeing a ghost, ended up tackled and crying in the dirt of the market.

Orimene & Azran · Scene 3
Transformation

One bite, six inches

Orimene passed her save and ate the fruit anyway. A bad roll later she was a purple fairy dragon riding in Penelope's hair, speaking a Draconic only Puck could follow.

Triumph

The hot dog in the pocket

Anar rolled a 28, made Hugo pull his own card, and it was a hot dog. "Is that a hot dog in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" won the grand prize.

Anar · Scene 5
Mishap

A natural 1 on the hookah

Puck grew to human size on one puff, then rolled a natural 1 on the next and dropped into a sleep so deep the party had to leash and steer his sleepwalking body the rest of the night.

Puck · Scene 6
Prophecy

Three fortunes, three hooks

The Key inverted for Azran, a vengeful hunter for Orimene, an unwanted great responsibility for Puck — 367, and Bingo.

Plot

Blood on a smile

Merryweather swore everyone was safe while blood dripped from her mouth. Anar felt it then: the carnies are not here willingly.

Reveal

"I was kind of happy"

Paz knew Penelope, asked after the shipment and the debt, and admitted she had been a little glad to think Penelope gone — then restored Orimene's human shape, illusion only.

Showmanship

The one and only Ever Hard

Mid-trapeze, Puck played Pip and lit the air with THE ONE AND ONLY EVER HARD while Orimene added dancing lights, and the whole big top did the wave.

Puck · Scene 11
Dread

The brand and the dolls

The hand stamps burned into GG. In Gigi's tent a porcelain doll waited for every face at the fair, and her punishments landed through them.

Cliffhanger

CR 25, in layers

Gigi sent them to feed Paz past a sign that read 'three nights good dreams' and a jar of smoke. The DM's parting aside: she is a CR of 25, in layers.
