A red-hued dust blows across the earth as a very, very long line stretches out from the desert city, wait, what was it called again? Let me check the map. Ah, yes, it was called [Desert City 01]. Hold on, wasn't that the placeholder? Hmm, we can't really start an adventure without a name for the city, let's call it Redsand. Anyways, back to the line. This line could have stretched for miles if so many people hadn't given up hope of entering the city. The paperwork required was astounding, but yet, there was a group of five very special individuals, and by special, I mean that they are unknowingly about to start an adventure that could very well get them all killed, sent to an alternate dimension, or otherwise eliminated. Don't tell them that. Anyways, they all stood in a neat row, the order not mattering, but they all stood behind a very large wagon labelled "Desert Circus: See Us Or Don't". After a few minutes without movement, the Tiefling, who was in the middle of the group, began to whistle. This, coupled with the lack of rest and unearthly heat, probably deeply annoyed the strangers', who would one day be his companions, ears.

Not a pretty thing in sight... Must've let them all in by now.
The Half-Orc woman sighs, trying to guage the progress of the circus troupe directly ahead of her.

Aranno attempts to peer inside the wagon, hoping to find some easily obtained valuables, friendly clowns, or irritable warriors.

A deep growling comes from inside the circus wagon as it shook slightly before one of the circusmen told Aranno to back off.

"Not friendly then, are we, gentlemen? Come now, surely at least one of you is good for a chat, or even a drink? I'd even be willing to pay for my share, if you're fair about it."

Ezekiel hid from the sun beneath his light hood. He tried to keep to himself, and succeeded for most of this wait. But his curiosity got the better of him.
"What have you got in there?" He said aloud to nobody in particular.

Oh good, someone answered.
"Any particular kind? I wonder if its any cooler in there"

"Well, you wouldn't have to worry about the heat in there." Said a fat man who walked out of one of the carts further ahead. "That's a nice way of saying you'd be dead."

Ezekiel shrugged.
"I meant for the animals, but thanks for the offer."

"Don't threaten these people." Nergui speaks up, standing intimidatingly over the fat man. "For all you know, they could be your customers."

"It's not a threat, it's a cautionary warning." Replied the fat man. "I'm trying to make sure that I actually have customers."

"Just keep whatever is in there secure and we should have no problems." Nergui replies, scowling.
...Maybe it's just the heat talking, but this guy pisses me off.

Ezekiel knocked on the side of the cart with his walking stick, hoping for a response.
"What exactly have you got in here again?"

"An attraction." The fat man spoke as another low growl came from the cart. "Don't bother him. He gets cranky when he doesn't get enough sleep."

"Does the attraction have a name? ...Or a species? Or does that information cost the price of admission?"

"No need to be such a smartass." The fat man answered. "You'll find out when everyone else does."

"You wouldn't happen to have any fellows around who are more amiable, would you? I'd love for someone to have a decent chat with, since you don't seem to care to deliver."
