Coinstone stares after the butterflies as they take flight, lost in the wonder of it. "Beautiful...." He says, mouth agape. [b"]Like jewels made alive."[/b] He shakes himself and looks around to make sure no one saw him staring. He grumbles and heads off for a drink and to find a jeweler. He now wants a butterfly made out of sapphire.

Sena spots the wagon and draws near. She stands mesmerized as the beautiful butterflies take flight. A golden yellow and black butterfly flys near, landing on her outstretched finger. I've never seen anything like this before. It looks like sunlight,she thought to herself as it flys away. She hears the slight rumbling sound of her belly, a small reminder that she forgot to break her fast. It must be almost time for lunch. she thinks as she follows the crowd to a nearby tavern.

Novalia ponders Amieko's words as she stares into her cup. Hopefully a fresh start for me as well. She watches the release of the swallowtails through the door of the tavern, marveling at the delighted laughter of the children as they are surrounded by the rainbow of butterflies. A part of her envies their innocence. With a sigh she turns back to Amieko and orders something to eat before the tavern gets too busy.

Fijit looks up to see the swallowtails flying over the stands in the market. Your father won't let you have any fun? Come on, let's get a better view! She gives Shayliss's hand a friendly squeeze, then moves towards a break in the stands so she can see the sky fill with butterflies.

He shakes himself and looks around to make sure no one saw him staring. He grumbles and heads off for a drink and to find a jeweler. He now wants a butterfly made out of sapphire. Coinstone easily finds the jeweler's stall. There is a multitude of small butterflies cut from gemstones of various sizes, including a handful of sapphires and yellow sapphires. The jeweler, a human named Maver Kesk, looks up Welcome! What can I do for you today?You're looking at a base cost of 500 gp for a gem quality sapphire, just so you know. It's one of the precious stones.

Shayliss smiles but pulls back "I appreciate the thought, but someone has to mind the stall. Maybe we can do something another time, before you leave town?" She gives a wink and then watches Fijit go.

The food is plentiful and delicious. The townsfolk all agree that so far it's the best Festival they've ever had. They're all looking forward to the consecration of the new cathedral and are hoping for a show of divine favor. But that's not until sundown and there's still a whole afternoon to enjoy.

Coinstone looks at the cut gems with a sour expression on his face and feels at his coin pouch. "Maybe later, if I find one that looks up to Dwarven craftsmanship." he says. Moving out of sight of the jeweler, he counts out his coins seeing only about 20 gold coins. Sooner or later, he'll get one, he's sure.

Sena finished the last bite of her lunch and leaves the tavern. She wanders around the festival without really having an idea of what to see next. I wonder if there are any interesting games left to watch.

Coinstone is called back to finish his arm wrestling contest as lunch finishes. The afternoon games are set to begin after that, including the three legged race, amatuer archery, and hide and seek.

After finishing her lunch Novalia thanks Ameiko and leaves the tavern. She walks towards the vendor's stalls, I could use a new scarf, mine is getting worn.

Coinstone settles down to the challenge at hand, putting his desire for the jewel butterfly out of his mind. Grinning through his beard, he puts his hand up to begin. STR 1: 4 (fumble) STR 2: 23 (crit) STR 3: 23 (crit)
Seeing my dice light up twice in a row for the natural 20's made feel all warm and fuzzy inside, especially after starting out with a 1.

Sena wanders up to a crowd just in time to see the end of the arm wrestling competition. She hears a couple of people placing last minute bets on who will win, but she ignores them. She doesn't want to spend her hard earned money on luck.

Ameiko, the owner of the Rusty Dragon, turns out to be Coinstone's opponent. She has been the town champion for the past couple of years and is attempting to defend her title against the newcomer. Though she tries her hardest, she is unable to best Coinstone, and so he stands as the new champion. Despite there usually is no prize money for the simple games and contests of the festival, a few of the onlookers are impressed with Coinstone's efforts and victory and slip him 2 gp and tell him the drinks are on them tonight.
The crowd dissipates towards the other games and stalls.
1d20+2 = 2+2 = 4 1d20+2 = 14+2 = 16 1d20+2 = 16+2 = 18

Novalia fins several stalls with fine scarves, including the one staffed by Shayliss that Fijit visited earlier, as well as a clothing booth with a sign proclaiming it to house Vernah's Fine clothing. Prices at both booths range from 2 sp to 5 gp depending on the quality.

Novalia makes her way to Vernah's Fine Clothing stall, her coin purse is a little heavier after her performance this afternoon. I think I'll treat myself to something beautiful, it is a day of celebration after all.

Sena walks over to the three legged race. She giggled as she watched some children getting ready for it. They were having a little trouble walking with their legs tied together.

I think I'll treat myself to something beautiful, it is a day of celebration after all.There is a wide range of scarves in bright colors, many depicting butterflies in flight to commemorate the festival, as well as a few with the new cathedral. The proprietor, a half-elf named Rynshinn, smiles broadly, and offers you a great deal. 2 gp for a brightly woven purple scarf depicting the release of the swallowtails, or 3 for a bright red one with the new cathedral stiched in intricate detail.

The three legged race begins soon after, and turns into a hilarious jaunt, where most of the partners trip and stumble their way down the course. The winners end up being a set of young twins who have been practicing at home.

Coinstone spends the rest of the time swapping stories with his new "friends" and tries to get Ameiko into a conversation. If she's reigning champion (was), he'd like to talk technique.
So that's what I'm doing, but I'm good to fastforward.

A sharp retort, like the crack of distant thunder, slices through the excited crowd as the sun's setting rays paint the western sky. A stray dog that has crawled under a nearby wagon to sleep starts awake, and the buzz of two dozen conversations quickly hushes as all heads turn toward the cetral podium, where a beaming Father Zantus has taken the stage. He clears his throat, takes a breath to speak, and suddenly a woman's scream slices through the air. A few moments later, a new new scream rises, then another. Beyond them, a sudden surge of strange new voices rises - high pitched, tittering shrieks that sound not quite human. The crowd parts and something low to the ground races by, giggling with disturbing glee as the stray dog gives a pained yelp and then collapses with a gurgle, its throat cut open from ear to ear. As blood pools around its head, the raucous sound of a strange song begins, chanted from shrill scratchy voices:
Goblins chew and goblins bite Goblins cut and goblins fight Stab the dog and cut the horse Goblins eat and take by force
Goblins race and goblins jumo Goblins slash and goblins bump Burn the skin and mash the head Gbolins here and you be dead!
Shase the baby, catch the pup. Bonk the head to shut it up Bones be cracked, flesh be stewed We be Goblins! You be Food!

Three goblins are by the body of the poor dog. They strike out at those closest to them, inciting panic among the towns people. ROUND ONE Initiative Order: Goblins = 16 Coinstone = 13 Novalia = 10 Fijit = 9+ Sena = 9-
I've attached a map with starting locations for characters: Coinstone is Blue, Fijit is silver, Sena is Yellow, Novalia is Red and the goblins are green. Each square represents 5 feet. The goblins have just acted in this round. If you know what you want to do, you can post out of turn, but it won't resolve until those ahead of you in initiative order act. I will take a picture at the beginning of every round so that you are aware of the locations of every PC and enemy. I will also post an end of round summary before going into a new round.
Click on the picture to enlarge it.

Coinstone looks up quickly at the sounds he hears and a huge smile splits his black beard in half. YYEEESSSSS!!!!! he screams. Battle! Finally!
Mechanically, use my move action to go 20 feet towards the goblins and draw my weapon as part of the move as I have a BAB of at least +1. Then I use my standard action as a move to move another 20 feet forward, gripping my axe with both hands as my shield is currently at the in. Coinstone begins a Dwarven battle chant as he moves forward to engage the goblins, reciting it loudly in order to draw their attention.

I use my move action to pull out my Tanglefoot Bag. I then use my standard action to throw it at the nearest goblin.
Attack roll: 1d20+1 dex+1 size = 17+1+1=19 Duration roll: 2d4=3+1=4

Sena looks in horror at the poor dog. Without a second thought she straps her shield on her left arm and moves towards the goblins, wanting desperately to protect the children.
I used my move action to put my shield on. Instead of a standard action, I move forward 25 feet.
