    Clowns employed by the traveling wax work show have confronted the three mages by the entrance to the attraction one primary speaker has stated the three will be coming to talk to their boss backed up by two grinning goons.

    Skye has rather adamantly refused taking a stance protectively in front of the others to draw the ire of the clowns and provide cover to her allies.

    Keeping her position between the two groups, adamantly holding to her words that they called out to them with a description after both seeing them and only referring to two of the three, Witch not matching their description at all and still they come for her. Ready to run should she need to, ready to act as her eyes flicker around to watch if anyone is watching the exchange between them or how far away the obvious to see person might be.
    ”Are we done here? If your boss wants to talk to us he is free to come find us inside, I cannot speak for us all but I at least would not mind a friendly chat, but I have little interest in following a group of strangers based on the words of someone that you already admitted was the one who did the crime and just spoke of two other people with no words that they have even done anything more than be mentioned by his lips or rather allegedly mentioned.”
    Leaving the room for her fellow awakened to either run, try to talk, mix in with the masses or whatever they might be planning but not being to keen on walking into their den on their terms, not a chance that she would let them dictate the field if she could avoid it.

    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.

    Scowling, Witch crossed her arms.

    While some folks might call cops clowns, these clowns were not in fact cops. And screw citizen's arrest. Skye was standing firm in her refusal to cooperate and Witch wasn't about to divide the party ... at least verbally.

    Physically was another matter, stepping to the side another pace, she put more distance between herself and the Talon in charge of the operation.

    Skye was being firm, and frankly he somewhat agreed. We did not need to approach the Ringmaster out numbered, we barely knew anything about him at present. He knew Skye wanted the group to split should things go bad, but at currently there was no need, and honestly they already agreed not the split needlessly now that they had the knife. “Listen, we have been patient enough going along with this charade you have been performing for us. We would like to get to the real entertainment now, so I suggest you return to your search as your accusations are getting tiresome and frustrating. You quite literally saw us exit a car and start heading to the entrance, now stop pestering us!” Carefully choosing his words as to not say something untrue. He stood firm with Skye and Witch looking at these clowns.

    Witch pace by careful pace keeps putting distance between her and the clown patrol.
    Witch can attempt dex+stealth-2 if she wants to slip out unnoticed


    The two arrows stand firm Skye taking the front with Asclepius right beside her backing yup his order and path mate. The crowns pale face paint catches in the flickering firelight of the torches as a chill wind lows to make it gutter illuminating the smirk tugging at his painted mouth. "Yeah that's all it is a nice little friendly chat, hey if I'm wrong I'll put my hands up and apologise but its our stuff that's been nicked." Cocking a haughty eyebrow at Asclepius, "Really? Where are you going to go? It's our show and the boss wants a word with folks that look a lot like you?" One of the back up clowns seems to have taken measures into his own hands as he breaks off entirely pushing past into the main crowd and off to find maybe the ring leader?

    Feeling their ally start to disappear without more reaction than seeing her move from the corner of her eye.

    A stern look given to the clowns.
    ”Like my friend here said, we have entertained you for long enough. If you want to talk so are we amenable to meet inside, I am certain that there is some place to sit and somewhere that you sell various things to eat and drink where we can sit around the masses and talk. Otherwise so as you have been so kind to admit to us already and that I have been trying to make you grasp so do you speak of some mysterious person whom you have admitted already is the one whom along with his friends whom has done what was it that you said? Nicked your stuff? They are the culprits, you have the main one go search for their friends and leave us alone. Allegedly claiming that they mentioned us or rather someones who looks like us does not mean that we has done anything, and you have not even said that they did more than mention people who seem to fit our description nothing else. As such all we have done is to fit a description from someone that is already admittingly behind the things transpiring against you. Now go call the cops and have the one you have in custody along with their friends be the one to pay the price, we are amenable to meet inside. I am certain that there is some food stand or place that sells some sort of food or beverages where we can sit down for a chat but will not be whisked away by some strangers to who knows where for who knows what. Your actions are just creepy, to have three men just walk up to a woman like me and start to try and drag her away under pretenses where I have done nothing even under your own words, go take care of the actual culprit and make them pay for it, call the cops, and do not blame us that you did not have people to look over your stuff of proper cameras, that is not on us at all. Now kindly leave us be.”

    Turning her eyes to her fellow arrow.
    ”I am not even sure I wanna head inside anymore if this is how they treat their guests, just throwing accusations at them and trying to drag them away, had you not been here so would I likely have screamed and called the cops myself, how are people meant to feel safe with these kinds of acts. Maybe we should just go home instead, my mood is a bit soured from this kind of treatment.” True most of her longwindedness was only very lightly to highlight their own points against them but also to give their friend a chance to sneak away and choose her vantage point should she so desire it, otherwise they could always leave and get back under pretenses that suited them better, heck they could even return looking vastly different if they needed to. ”So what do you say should we ignore these two and head inside or head home?”

    She had argued against another party split. If not outloud, then at least internally with herself. But Skye was talking, and talking ... and still talking. And with the shadows of the parking lot ... well, let it not be said she wasn't impulsive.

    And so with every sentence of Skye's she took another step.

    2 successes

    He listened to Skye as she went off on the clowns. He attempted at a couple of points to try and jump in to speak but the full tirade of words kept him from speaking. He heard a decent angle to run with from her words however, and felt maybe it would be good to stick to that approach.

    Eventually Skye looked to him, and from the conversation he knew the clowns did not want the two Arrows to leave. Maybe we could put some pressure here then. Honestly I was really looking forward to going in, but I agree being singled out by these 'supposed workers' has really dampened the mood. Maybe we can go for a drive for a bit instead, hopefully when these basic muggers are gone and not trying to steal your purse away from the crowds. Look at that as well, one of the thugs has no doubt seen another woman to rob and harrass while these two stand here.” He had no intention of leaving fully not while Witch was alone but he saw it like this, if the clowns were going to step in and stop them, the Arrows could claim self-defence or they would be free to leave and then sneak back in meet up again. He began to take steps back to the car-park, ready for any interference from the clowns.

    Skye talks, and then talks and keeps talking. Serving as a sufficient distraction for Witch to skulk off unseen by all into the shadows. Asclepius reinforcing the idea by casting accusations of his own and to his credit gardening the looks and slowed pace of a handful of people coming or going.

    As the chill night are blows through the flicker of torch light adding an unsettling element to the play of light and shadows the pocket of silence that falls over the group when both arrows are done stands out in stark contrast to the hub bub of attendees rippling out as the confrontation draws more and more attention. The background goon looks confusedly at the primary speaking clown. "Hey should I just..." Cut off by the face of the group. "No. To many people." Instead he points loosely to Asclepius' now bloodless shirt. "I really think a quick conversation with the boss will straighten everything out. You don't know what you've taken." The bluntness of the dropped carnie act a stark contrast as the situation becomes increasingly public.

    Nodding toward her fellow arrow as she begins to take small slow steps along with him as well, not that she wanted to leave Morgan alone. To have her in safety to move after them would they be forced into some dangerous situation yes, but leave her alone or even without possible line of sight not a chance.

    Keeping her calm as she looks to the man without acknowledgment to his words, but registering them nonetheless.
    ”As said we should likely leave, but I am a woman of my word, if your boss is willing to talk somewhere public, where we can be clearly seen by the crowds at all times and alone so am I not uninclined to speak with him. Doesn´t need to be within earshot of normal speaking conversation just clearly seen, but what person would not be quite worried when strangers tries to whisk them away to private parts? As my friend says it might just be you wanting to steal my purse. Or worse do you know the danger small women like me lives with when just taking a walk?” Keeping her eyes over the crowds, more so to just register the general closeness and paths of people. ”So you have a desire, I have offered a compromise more than once, up to you else it looks like we are leaving.”
