Paths of Legend: The Journey

The rather busy admissions fellow responds, "I don't know. I think he quit. Might ask our high wire gal, Anareesa after the show. She was friends with him."

She sighs over-enthusiastically, "Really? Well drats! I came so far just to see him. Now I guess I'll have to wait for the rest of this now boring circus to go see my hero," she mutters the last bit under her breath as she picks her spot and tries to enter in with a large crowd of circus-goers.

She's going to attempt to go on in without paying, hopefully sliding on in during the midst of a mini-rush. Not sure what rolls you'll be needing.

OOC: Make a Hide check and a Bluff check. Also, the rapiers are renewing the disguise self effect (the duration is only about 10 minutes).

How many times a day do the rapiers have that ability? Oh, three. I looked it up myself. Pat on the back. Okay, hide check of 27 and a bluff check of 12.

Estelle has no problem sneaking past the admissions fellow and into the tent proper. Currently, the audience is finding their seats and there appears to be another ten minutes or so before the show starts. The high wire act performers are all at the base of the runged pole that leads up to the taut wire strung between it and a similar pole twenty feet away.

A young human woman in the group seems distracted, glancing around the tent nervously and struggling with her practice routines.

Estelle aloofly wanders fairly close to the acrobats before looking at the young woman and hisses her name, "Anareesa," she subtly waves her over toward her, "Anareesa, I'm a friend of Rungner's." She'll attempt to appear as unassuming as she can.

The nervous girl looks around, uncertain where the voice is coming from for a moment, until she spots Estelle finally. Her eyes are fearful and she looks as if she might panic and bolt and any moment.

"I didn't mean for it to happen, I swear. Tell Rossler I didn't mean it."

She starts to back away.

Estelle takes a quick step back, totally confused, "Wait, what? No. No I don't know what you're talking about. Listen, I need your help with Rungner, he's in danger and I need to find him." She looks at her pleadingly and mouths a small please.

Anareesa continues to back up, "This is a trick, Rossler sent you. No one else knows about what happened to Rungner. No one else knows!" The other acrobats are staring at her strangely. A gnome in a top hat has taken notice of the situation and shouts from the center ring, "Hey, leave my people be! The show's about to start!"

Frustrated and with so many people around, now observing the exchange, Estelle knew when to cut her losses. She briefly considered charming the irritating girl, but that could go horribly awry. On one hand, however, she had given a name - Rossler. She could wait around until after the circus and grab the stupid girl and squeeze the information out of her, but who knew how long this disguise would last. So, with a curse and a glower, Estelle turned and exited the circus.

She wants to find this Rossler, he doesn't sound like good news. It'd be easiest to wait around for the girl, but barring that she's inclined to just grab some random person and ask who Rossler is. She could always go to the seedy part of time. Essentially, I'm not quite sure where to go as of right now.
