Cute.
The PCs spent a day in town for a midsummer festival. There was much mucking about with a gnomish mechanical bull/gorgon that was being used as a carnival ride. There was an accident with a greased pig getting away, crashing through a tent full of oils infused with minor amounts of wild magic, and some gnomish mushroom bread coming alive... and the mechanical gorgon getting loose for the PCs to fight.
Our air genasi barbarian figured out the real purpose of grappling, holding the beast still so it could not use its charging attack. After a whole lot of bad PC dice rolling, the mechanical beast was finally taken down. The PCs came out looking good to the townsfolk, but... maybe the gnomes aren't getting invited back to the festival next year...
Edit to add: There were many bread-based puns, but I deemed them too crummy to include here.
