The group rest peacefully and eventually arrive at the
playhouse.
The large double sized building had a well-kept lawn, though
the playhouse appeared a little run down and touched up in random places.
Cautiously the group enter into the playhouse’ lobby only to be greeted by a
little cricket like creature that appeared to be chasing an animated musical
instrument.
“Ooh! Guests! Well hello there” greeted the cricket, “What
show are you here to see then?” he continued,
“What show is currently running?” asked Otto,
“Well……” the cricket started to respond as he tried to grab
his mischievous instrument, “we really don’t have a show on at the moment, the
brothers are lacking in inspiration at the minute” he finished.
“I see” said Vaneer, “mind if we see the brothers? We might
be able to help them with their burden” the cleric asked,
“By all means! You’ll find them through there” as the
cricket pointed towards the doors leading to the auditorium.
The group thanked the cricket and made their way through the
door to find themselves in the auditorium that had clear signs of not being
used for quite some time, up on stage stood a man whom appeared to be playing
with a string puppet, the man looked up at his guests.
“Hello! Afraid we’re not ready yet” he shouted across the
auditorium to the group,
The gentleman then gasped and pointed towards Hugo and Boss
exclaiming, “You two! Have you ever thought of acting?”
“Err….NO!” returned Hugo,
“My talent is in the strings of my bow and not acting”
responded Boss,
A conversation ensues between the group and the man on the
stag till he invites his star(Eliara) to come see her two new co-actors (Hugo
& Boss) whom upon seeing the two fighters went into a fit of denial that
such brutes could challenge her stardom to the point she lashed out and
attacked them both as 4 peacock like creatures appear around her.
