Re: A well-deserved rest
Carver flips his knife back into the ham shank on the bar and charges after Tonka. "I've had enough of this woman!" He charges after her and as others cry out to stop her foolishness he goes with a more hands on approach attempting to tackle and wrestle her to the ground!

Re: A well-deserved rest
Fumbus is at the window laughing, while Merisiel and Carver run after her. She is quick and, for now, ahead of the heroes.
Tonka is now about 50ft from the door, Merisiel and Carver are at the door. The "giants" are 100ft from the door.
Carver and Merisiel...

Merisiel runs after Tonka and attempts to tackle her to the ground, while shouting at her, "They're not giants! Look, they're jesters on stilts!"

Re: A well-deserved rest
Carver joins Merisiel int he charge and tackle, he works with her in doing that took. Instead of shouting at Tonka he shouts at the jesters, "Look out! She's gone mad, she wants to kill you. Get away!" He leaps at the woman flanking with the elf to bring her down.

Merisiel wants to aid Carver, but it does not work. Tonka is nimble and fast. However, Carver runs at her and grabs her from behind, holding her so she cannot move. She struggles, but cannot break free. "What are you doing, traitor? I must protect this house from the giants!"

Re: A well-deserved rest
"Hold still you idiot! They aren't giants. They are stilt walkers!" He looks to keep hold of the woman, "Someone get those fool clowns down on solid ground!" He attempts to keep her held, pinning her to the ground. It never crosses his mind that perhaps she's right, and these performers are some sort of assassins posing as carnival folk, and her touched mind is just calling them giants because it doesn't know what else to call them.

The goblin sighs to himself. It was all well and fun until the lady went crazy. Carver clearly has this in hand, but he might as well show solidarity and help out.

Re: A well-deserved rest
Fumbus runs out and stops near Carver, who is pinning Tonka down. She slowly starts to calm down as she realizes her mistake. The "giants" however, get scared by the crazy woman and topple over, falling down and over their wooden stilts. The two men emerge from the sheets and look unhappy at this "attack". Bordo apologizes and soon everyone is back at the dinner table and the jesters (this time without stilts) juggle and make jokes.
However, many guests seem to have itching spots on their skin.

Merisiel silently thanks the gods that Tonka is only slightly unhinged and was able to see her mistake without a violent confrontation.
At the dinner table, Merisiel turns to whoever is near her outside her party and says, "Does it seem to you like there's some sort of rash going around? You don't suppose there's something wrong with the water here?"

"Some sort of /Rash/ I see what you did that. Tonka is acting rash and we are all itching." Carver stands up, "Alright, let me address the oliphant int he room." He scratches at him, "We are itching, all of us. What's the deal? Huh? We came here for some relaxation, a bath, and look what we get? Who's in charge of this mess?"
