Anar treated the market as a supply run and a game. He broke off early for arrows, came back with a fistful of hot dogs, and then stole the show at Hugo's tent — a natural-feeling 28 turned the satyr's card into a hot dog and won the grand prize, which Anar spent on the ivory card.
He did the practical work too: buying mushroom mead, leashing the sleepwalking Puck, picking up a raven familiar, and reading the room. His insight that the carnies are 'not here willingly' is one of the session's load-bearing clues. He ended the night shrunk to halfling height after his first mead.
Split off to buy arrows; returned with a full quiver and 6–8 hot dogs.
Won 20 copper on his first try (14), then rolled 28 to win the grand prize — 'Is that a hot dog in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?' Took the ivory card.
Carried items for Orimene; bought four bottles of mushroom mead (sleight of hand 20 to steal a hair); tied a rope to the sleepwalking Puck.
Handed his free fortune coupon to Azran.
Befriended a black pearlescent raven (animal handling 13) that acts as a familiar; bought a cure wounds scroll. Insight 19 — the carnies are 'not here willingly.'
Drank his first mushroom mead and shrank to halfling height.
Snuck in under Pass Without a Trace (stealth 28); spotted the 'three nights good dreams' sign (perception 19).
