Synopsis[edit | edit source]
An extremely drunk Cara stumbles out of Seraphel’s mansion, and heads back to the Synphasia. When she arrives, Joeired is throwing a party for the performers. Yoitha proposes they go to a festival street. Intrigued by the festival activities, Rolare follows along promising to pay for the games. They start at a shooting gallery, but are unable to hit the targets. Rolare insists on staying while Yoitha and Cara search for food. By the time they return, he’s on his ninth try. This becomes a trend as they go to each game, with Rolare going through multiple attempts trying to master them. They run into the caravan that Cara traveled with to Merenome. The Gnolls are happy to see Cara again, moreso when Rolare begins buying up all their wares. One of the Gnolls, Nisre, asks Rolare about the half-Elf villages. He describes life in the villages as consistent, with all the people undergoing the same daily routines for centuries on end. Yoitha claims that the Dwarves, another long-lived species, are conscious of time’s impermanence and “master things, or try, and live well.” Nisre asks about Dwarfhome and its metals, but Yoitha’s mood abruptly changes, claiming that it’s no longer good as it used to be with the old masters gone.
The three performers continue their exploration of the festival, having fun. Yoitha goes to a throwing game, wanting to win a plush of Duchess Greina. However, the tower of tin cans is impossible to topple, especially with the owner’s skills. Cara is slightly cynical of Greina, noting a member of royalty would have it easier, but Yoitha defends Greina, who rose to Gold-rank after failing as [Hunter]. Cara realizes Yoitha’s respect for Greina is not just from admiration. She wonders what would make a talented [Smith] stop smithing.
