[QUOTE="fba827, post: 5035442, member: 807"] it will depend on how much focus you give to the sickness during description. perhaps when describing the starting city, just comment that "it's late fall, so cold and flu season is just starting, it is is normal to glance around and see the occasional person coughing or blowing their nose. And over here there is some big building .... blah blah blah" OR don't really mention it at the first city. Because it is viewed as so minor (or commonplace) that the PCs wouldn't have noticed it. And, instead, once they get to another city where it's at "abnormal level" then mention "now that you think about it, several townsfolk in the first town looked like they may have been catching the flu as well." (basically, tell them after the fact since the initial instance would have been so mundane it wouldn't have merrited any attention). As for the traveling theatre... perhaps as describing the town just mention they pass a poster (or hear a town crier) for some theater troop coming to town. (the PCs may even be interested in watching a performance - but don't make any big deal out of it, let them go watch if they want and not think anything special of it)... [/QUOTE]
