The crowd quiets down as a human woman takes the stage. She looks to be in her late forties as while her face is set with a few minor wrinkles, her hair remains a vibrant chestnut brown. She wears plain, if not high quaility, clothes and greets the crowds with a smile and a wave. "Good morning, everyone! I'm seeing a lot of fresh faces here today. Welcome travelers from Magnimar and beyond. I am Mayor Deverin, and on behalf of Sandpoint, I wish you all a fine day and merry festival. Goodness, is that Lars I see in the crowd? The tannery hasn't gone out of business, has it?" The locals in the crowd get a chuckled out of that. Tristan, you know how notorious Lars is for being a workaholic, and he rarely leaves his shop, even for special occasions.

The mayor continues, "I see we have a lot of visiting merchants from Magnimar, and elsewhere. I urge all of the Sandpoint residents to sample some of the finer goods from the city. And for those of you visiting us, our gracious shop keepers will be showcasing their own wares. I will now hand the stage over to our dutiful sheriff, Belor Hemlock."

As the mayor leaves the stage, a man dressed in chainmail takes her place. He has darkened skin, and his head is shaved clean to the scalp. His voice is deep and penetrates through to your bones. "Before we begin, let us take a moment of silence to remember Father Tobyn and his daughter Nualia, who tragically lost their lives in the great fire five years ago." After a few seconds, he continues, "Now I know there are a lot of people here today. I need everyone to keep cool heads, and not cause any unnecessary trouble. If my guards need to step in, you will be removed from the grouds. Don't leave any valuables unattended, unless you want your possessions to sprout legs and wander off. If you see any suspicious characters, let my guards know. Watch your drink. If anyone cannot handle themselves, they will be removed from the grouds. And for Desna's sake, be careful around the bonfire tonight." While the sheriff's comment was meant as a joke, it is unexpected and in bad taste. The crowd remains silent. The sheriff seems to recognize he over-stepped and shuffles nervously onstage. "Anyway, here's local entertainer and theater owner, Cyrdak Drokku!" He quickly hurries off and is replaced by a fair-skinned and dark-haired man in extravagant clothes.

You must take the second result even if it is worse.Black Powder Bravado | Drawback: You take a –2 penalty on Diplomacy checks and Sense Motive checks made against all creatures whose religion or alignment differs from your own.Provincial | Feats: Gunsmithing


Skones' face screwed up a little, recognizing the cringiness of the sheriff's speech. He probably wouldn't have done much better, of course, so tried not to judge as he didn't have much social grace himself. Once he got back down to street level, Skones turned Kugritch over to catch up. "Hey, hey there, Sheriff. I gotta have a word wit ya. There was a goblin raid yesterday; hopin' to get some help on dat. I thought you were the man to see."

ShalaraInitially during the speech, and glancing around the crowd, Shalara felt somewhat reassured. Surely, those looking out for her would not be attending a small town festival, and having so many witnesses would make it difficult for them to take her out even if they did. But when the mayor mentioned that many of the vendors and visitors came from Magnimar she realized she may have underestimated just how many from the big city would travel this far north for this even. As she continued to listen to speeches in taciturn silence, she only wished she knew what her pursuers looked like, as her eyes darted from face to face in the otherwise cheerful festival crowd.

"Honest" Hasim
right-aligned image

Hasim surveyed the day's profits with a smile.

Yes. Today has been MOST profitable. That's as much as I could have expected my little Business to make in a MONTH! I should think about expanding!

His thoughts of avarice and unfettered capitalism were interrupted by the town's Mayor. She had begun a nice little speech, and Hasim gave a modest bow when she she was kind enough to welcome "travelers from Magnimar and beyond". The rest of her speech was nice enough, but then she handed over to the Sherrif...
He started out well enough. A respectful moment of silence, appropriate! General safety warnings, Good to know! But then he tried to end things with that joke!
Hasim visibly winced!
Ouch! Know your audience, Sherrif!
As the Lawman tried to leave, a burly-looking Ratfolk Gentleman chased after him, yelling something about a Goblin attack!
Hasim shivered.
Ugh! "Goblins!" Disruptive creatures! I hope I never encounter the wretched creatures....

Tristan makes an active gesture not to hold it against Shalara when she ignores his question and instaed watches the speeches with attention. When the Sheriff makes his gaff, Tristan is one of the few who cracks a wry laugh. One learns to appreciate the gallows humor in certain career fields and Tristan knew exactly the joke Belor was making. But the hollow echo of his own quiet laugh causes him to swallow quickly, embarrassed as much for himself as for the Sheriff. At the conclusion of the speech he mulls around with the little crowd he's found himself with, watching the rat person go off half cocked and bombard Belor with questions. Shrugging to Shalara he concedes,
"I guess we'll just have to wait our turn."

Festival Opens

Azrael listened to the speeches of the Mayor and Sheriff. It sounded like a typical speech until the Sheriff gave a bad joke and the crowd went silent. His ears did perk up when he observed a Rat folk man stop the sheriff and mention a problem with Goblin raids.

::Now that sounds interesting:: He moves closer to hear the response from the sheriff.

For a second, a look of relief passes along the sheriff's face, but you realize it's because he would rather be doing anything but public speaking. "A goblin raid you say? I haven't heard about any attacks, lately. Where did it happen?"

Without knowing who her attackers are, Shalara finds it difficult to identify anyone out of the ordinary. Although, she does notice a tiefling that seems to be paying a bit too close attention to her little group.

"Too soon!" the new speaker calls after Belor leaves the stage. "He means well, folks. He really does. It's just that our good Sheriff Hemlock is about as dangerous to a good time as well, actual Hemlock." That draws a laugh from the crowd. "Thank you, very much. Since the sheriff didn't give me much of an introduction, allow me to remedy the situation. Yes, I am Cyrdak Drokkus. I am the owner of the Sandpoint Theater. That may not mean much to many of you right now, but it will. For the duration of this coming week, we have a special rendition of the Harpy's Curse. The lead part of Avisera, the Harpy Queen, is played by none other than Allishanda. A name all you visitors from Magnimar are no doubt familiar with. But enough with me, let me turn you all over to the man of the hour, Father Abstalar Zantus. And don't let him off this stage easy folks. The duels he had with the local nobles over coin for this new cathedral will surely go down in Sandpoint history. Not to mention the work his younger priests do to make sure everyone in town lives happy and healthy lives. Here he is, now!"

Cyrdak gives the stage over to the head priest of Sandpoint. Father Zantus is younger than the mayor, though he looks much older. Having to pick up the pieces after the old head priest's untimely death, and with no center of worship to fall back on, the last five years have clearly been tough on him. Even though he looks tired, he nonetheless smiles and waves to the gathered crowds. "I won't keep you long, I promise. When Desna first fell to Earth, wounded in battle with vile Lamashtu, it was a poor blind girl that nursed the deity back to health. As a reward, Desna allowed the girl to live forever. Immortalized in the form of one of nature's most beautiful creations. The clergy later took that girl's likeness into our holy symbolism. Much like the child, my clergy have always put helping others first. I am so thankful to see that others have put helping the town first before themselves, as well. And so, on this momentous day, may the power of Desna protect you all." Father Zantus lifts his hand and platforms beneath the stage open up to release hundreds of yellow and blue butterflies into the crowd. Children rush through the town square to catch and release them. "Oh! Before I go, I would just like to inform you all that the taverns of our beloved town have all pitched in the help feed the festival free of charge. Just around the corner to Cliff Street you'll find all the food vendors both local and foreign. And please join us tonight for the final bonfire and official consecration beneath the stars."

PiperShalara waited until the weary looking Father Zantus left the stage, her green eyes looking up as the insects fluttered into the open sky above them. Thankfully Vol seemed to understand that discretion was important at this point and didn’t take wing alongside the butterflies. This was probably for the best as he’d probably just try and eat them, and that probably wouldn’t go over well with the locals.

"A name can be a dangerous thing to share under certain circumstances." The elven woman continues her conversation with Tristan after a lengthy pause, as if she had been pondering an answer the whole time. "When I was very young my parents called me Piper because I would always be playing in the shallow water with the shorebirds. This will likely do for now." She paused for another moment as a butterfly flew past her face, speaking with an air of refinement and education that stood in stark contrast to her well made but simple garb. "And I do appreciate your offer of assistance, but I don’t believe the sheriff would be able to truly help me at this time. And besides, there’s apparently goblins to deal with. I can hear they can be quite a nuisance," she finished, glancing toward where the ratfolk was discussing his problem with sheriff Hemlock.

As her elven eyes roamed around the crowd she noticed a tiefling looking over at them and pulled her hood more closely around her face, turning away slightly.

Eyes on the butterflies as well he watches them flap and flit about as she describes playing with shorebirds. "Piper is fine by me. Well met Piper, my name is Tristan." He is certain she'd politely decline any offer to help her himself, which is the knee-jerk socially appropriate response, but Tristan is not entirely certain he wants to be involved with whatever trouble this strange woman in her deep cloak is clearly wrapped up in. Thankfully, what could have otherwise been an awkward silence which stretched on into Tristan wandering back over to put in more face with his extended family, dread the thought, the ratman's loud chatter brings a change of topic to extend their conversation. Tristan doesn't have time to contemplate why he's grateful to continue talking, as he's not much of a talker and he doesn't dislike his family as much as he'd like to let on.
"Goblins are more than just a nuisance, they're violent, insatiable little terrors. But Sandpoint has a wall, and so we don't have to worry about them much unless you're out in the forests. I'm not sure how close to town the ratman is from here, or what he expects a town guard and a citizen militia is going to be able to do to help him. It's not like goblins give a damn about Sandpoint ordinances, or the authority of our government." Watching Piper tuck even deeper into her disguise, the irony being doing so makes her that much more conspicuous, again the urge to ask her if she's okay resurfaces, to inquire more about who's making her so uncomfortable. Tristan reminds himself he's not on the guard anymore, it's not his job, and she wouldn't accept the gestures anyway. Instead he lets his eyes wander around for anything (anyone) out of the ordinary, and moved to interpose himself between Piper and the tiefling approaching them.

Goblin Troubles?
right-aligned image


Azrael overheard the issue with goblins and perked up a bit and paid more attention to the Rat creature apparently speaking to the sheriff.

::If I can help, maybe it would garner some street cred with the locals and not worry so much that I am a Tiefling::

He waits to hear the sheriff's response before he makes any notion to contact the ratman.

"Honest" Hasim
right-aligned image

From his slightly raised position, Hasim smiled and gave a respectful nod to the Desnan Priest. While The Butterfly Goddes had never featured greatly in his thoughts, her position as a fellow Deity of Travel, as well as her habits of removing elements detrimental to a stable society, afforded her Clergy a degree of professional respect, despite the Goddesses (literally) flighty nature!
The release of the butterflies made the Merchant chuckle good-naturedly, especially as one landed on an especially colourful oatch of his clothing.

"Some say that is good luck, little one!" He told it. "Servant of a different deity or not, Hasim will not turn away good luck when it comes to him!"

He looks around, seeing the joy on peoples faces, and hearing the excited shrieks of children as they chased the butterflies around the square.

"A happy society is a prosperous society." He says, seemingly to himself, then smiles. "And the most Prosperous of all, are Merchants." He glanced at the butterfly. "In this, our Gods work together!"

The butterfly, having finally realised that Hasim's clothing wasn't a flower, flew away.

Almost absently, he listened in on the conversation about Goblins.

Utana VorinUtana was happy for now. She enjoyed the butterflies, but was also mildly paying attention to her surroundings still. Like noticing a strange tiefling finally, as he moved closer to someone else. And more importantly to her, the ratfolk was talking to the sheriff about goblins. They were a threat to a number of people, which outweighed the safety of the nervous woman who was possibly being followed by a tiefling.

She wandered closer to the sheriff and the ratfolk, but waited for the sheriff to speak...apparently the same as everyone else in the immediate vicinity.

The sheriff has to think for a minute, but he says, "That's the domain of the Seven Tooth tribe, I think. I'm not really up to speed on tribal politics, such as they are. As far as I can tell, it just comes down to who is willing to fight over something. Luckily, the Seven Tooths are one of the less aggressive tribes in the area. They're fond of searching the beaches and our junkyard for refuse they can turn into supplies. We have an arrangement with them. As long as they don't bother the townsfolk or livestock, we won't dissuade them from garbage hunting. I suppose you could reach a similar arrangement with them, as long as they don't take offense to you being so close to their beaches. If I had a spare guardsman, I would send him out to find Shalelu. She's a ranger that patrols the wilds around Sandpoint. She's also a self taught expert in all things goblin. However, she's not a people person and made it a point to not be in town for the festival."

Skill Ranks per Level: 4 + Int modifier.Class Skills | At 1st level, a gunslinger gains one of the following firearms of her choice: blunderbuss, musket, or pistol. Her starting weapon is battered, and only she knows how to use it properly. All other creatures treat her gun as if it had the broken condition. If the weapon already has the broken condition, it does not work at all for anyone else trying to use it. This starting weapon can only be sold for scrap (it’s worth 4d10 gp when sold). The gunslinger also gains Gunsmithing as a bonus feat.Gunsmith | At the start of each day, a gunslinger gains a number of grit points equal to her Wisdom modifier (minimum 1).Grit 2/2, The first time each round the gulch gunner makes a ranged firearm attack against an adjacent foe and provokes an attack of opportunity, she regains 1 grit point. Making an adjacent firearm attack against a helpless or unaware creature or on a creature that has fewer Hit Dice than half the gulch gunner’s character level does not restore grit, nor do ranged attacks using some ability that prevents the gulch gunner from provoking an attack of opportunity.Daring Adjacent Shot, When the gunslinger reduces a creature to 0 or fewer hit points with a firearm attack while in the heat of combat, she regains 1 grit point. Destroying an unattended object, reducing a helpless or unaware creature to 0 or fewer hit points, or reducing a creature that has fewer Hit Dice than half the gunslinger’s character level to 0 or fewer hit points does not restore any grit.Killing Blow

However, you can use your actions only to draw a firearm, reload a firearm, or attack with a firearm. If you have the Diehard feat, this trait also allows you to substitute your Wisdom score for your Constitution score for the purpose of determining the negative hit point total at which you die.Never Stop Shooting, Once per day, when you perform a deed that requires an attack roll and you miss with that roll, you can reroll it. You must take the second result even if it is worse.Black Powder Bravado | Drawback: You take a –2 penalty on Diplomacy checks and Sense Motive checks made against all creatures whose religion or alignment differs from your own.Provincial | Feats: Gunsmithing


"That's a thing, though. You said youse don't mind them 'garbage hunting.' Us P'za-bek ain't no garbage!" Skones turned his head to belch uproariously. Clearly, he was not garbage because he turned his head first.
