    The warmth of a campfire, shadows softening at their edges, the smell of woodsmoke in the air.

    When vulgar, it's the heat of a pyre, the air darkening with ash, the smell of burning flesh.

    Witch blinked and brought her focus back to what the clown in front of them was saying, knowing that if she stared much more she would draw attention.

    As such, there was nothing against getting a good ol'mundane idea on what he was playing at.

    It seems they indeed were on the hunt for what we had come into possession of. “Dam that sounds like a shame, I bet there is always someone that ruins it for others. Kids today I tell you, no respect for others and property. I hope you find them as clearly they need a lesson in consequences for their actions.God I'm starting to sound like an old man already. Keeping a smile on his face, he looks to Skye and Witch for a brief moment, as he attempts to halt the conversation quickly but naturally. “We will be sure to tell someone if we see people that match your description, I assume all staff members are on the look out for them?

    He keeps his eyes on the clown, looking for any of the signs or tell to give away his true intent.

    Skye plays into the routine of just being visitor people freshly arrived, drawn by the mystery, the rumours to the attraction and there sure don't seem to be camera around to contest her assertion. But unfortunately can't read the clown motives or intentions beyond what they have been presented as.

    Witch and Asclepius have a much easier time seeing through the near none existent mask of the person talking to them, and they behind that very thin veil is suspicion, tension and a threatening interest.

    Witch able to see more perhaps by virtue of allowing the other two mages to take the fore for talking gets more of a look at the body language, tense, coiled, and taught the individual either thinks or is prepared for use of physical harm and by the way the other two have given up the search to loiter very slowly and in non-chanlant attempts to move closer she realises any actual attempt to continue searching has been abandoned by all three clowns not just the one talking to them. Either they know or they very strongly suspect.

    The clown serving as the face addresses both Skye and Asclepius rather then bouncing back and forth between them. "Oh yeah there tales of haunting ghosts and ghouls and spirts bound to the their living likeness." He is playing it up and so far the mages can confirm no ghosts or spirts are bound to anything beyond the one they carry. "Funny thing is this one we got is blathering something about a real pale chick and a guy with a bloody shirt." The wound might have been healed but the slashing weapon had drawn blood to stain Asclepius' shirt.

    Softly chuckling at the play of the clown.
    ”Do not forget the goblins, for what is ghouls without their goblin kin?” Raising an eyebrow in semi disbelief to the words. ”So you are looking for his mates, yet you are listening to his words to search for some oddly enough rather common descriptors of who this places reputation would draw in. Sounds like quite some mystery but not one we have time for if we wanna be able to look around to our hearts content.” Keeping an eye on the man as she begins to move towards the entrance in a slow moving manner to make sure to keep herself closest to the clown. ”I hope the offender is alright, and that you shall find their mates.”

    A frown was beginning to show on Witch's face. And she wasn't making an effort to hide it.

    Skye was still playing along with the clowns but she was pretty sure they weren't playing any more.

    She was tempted to throw the whole charade and push back against the clown, demanding some answers in turn, but Skye was moving toward the entrance. So instead she just stepped back, falling in with Skye in moving toward the entrance.

    What she didn't do though was turn her back on him. Or his companions. At least to the best of her ability.

    She didn't trust them not to jump on her back.

    It seems the ladies wanted to move on and he could not agree more. Shit I need to get rid of this blood. Turning away from the clowns walking with the ladies, he shuffles his bag to the shoulder to better cover his shirt where the blood stain is. He slides his hand underneath his bag and to the stain on his shirt attempting to quickly cast a spell to remove it. This will either give us an idea of who we are dealing with or it will fail and we will have to deal with this current problem. That's a win – win right?

    the spell roll was not supposed to be wits + investigation, it is spontaneous spell therefore it should be life + gnosis. But the dice pool is the same. I assume it was okay to use the roll still but add this note.

    The mages slowly backing up towards the entrance of the traveling wax work grounds being a smile to the clowns face. "I was going to ask you to come with us, but it looks like were all going in the same direction." He gestures a little theatrically. "Shall we? My boss is very eager to have a few words." The two other clowns have given up all form of pretence and take up positions behind the main talker to ad some muscle to the the presented choice.

    Glancing at her fellow arrow for just a moment as she saw his handiwork beginning to take form, but making sure to not let her eyes linger more curious to see if the clowns would be showing any reaction, but clearly finding herself to distracted in trying to keep her eyes on both her fellow arrow and the three.
    Do they react to the spell failure

    ”We shall not, you come here with claims against two of us when we are just about to enter, adding in some talks of some punk who clearly is the one who has done wrong if he now exists to begin with.” Taking a closer stance toward them to give her allies time to slither away more easily should they so wish, knowing or perhaps just believing that she would be far more likely to be able to get away from these people if needed. ”Call the police on the one who has actually performed a crime, or gather up his friends if he now exists to begin with, but leave us alone we have exhibits to see, people to meet, paranormal hunters to listen to, gothic ladies to flirt with. Besides we are three people not two as you described what you searched for, now kindly leave us be.” No way I am walking into their trap, especially not with a none arrow unarmed one here.
