The otter being, satisfied with the number of Freeswords he had picked up, took off back from whence he came with the sellswords in tow. It wouldn't take them long to reach the Castle district. There a rather peculiar sight is found. A temporary open-air stage is built in the center of the square with some props strewn about, and other items like a small tower and a throne plus background scenery. Strewn around the stage are some carts and a couple of tents, looks like this is a traveling troupe of sorts.
It is a warm, sunny evening in Firmament. Currently there is a juggler on stage trying to entertain the host of nobles and well-off beings who had assembled, but some are obviously quite bored as they whisper about the main event. The group themselves are escorted 'backstage' where a nervous looking lion being is sitting in a tent.
"Oh, thank the creators!" the lion being says with a jittery grin as he stands up to greet the beings, "Terrible really, I think it might have been the food here, but most of my actors are in bed, and I needed some quick replacements. I hope that all of you are up to the task? If I don't put a show now this fiasco will ruin me in Firmament. A fifty crowns pay for each of you if you agree."
Zuri walks up to the open air stage, the small salamander smiling brightly as he regards it. "Wow, this looks like a lot of fun!" He peers at the poor juggler as they're led away towards the tent at the back, looking up at the lion and wiggling his snout at him as the explanation is given. "Wait, they're in bed? Like.. sickie? Oh no.. " He pouts. "I'd love to help! With.. whatever we have to do."
Fenris is in his element! "I grew up in a traveling troupe," he says, "What show are we putting on? I'm game for just about anything." The tiger is looking pretty good, his orange and black fur back in place and his snow white hair and short beard leaving him looking in fine condition. Much better than the scorched cat of yesterday morning!
Cassidy hadn't been in the inn, but she was in the area! Always interested in seeing what plays were going on. When she spots the familiar faces being brought towards the back, she gives Natska a little nudge and starts after them, ears perked. She didn't know Zuri was an actor! Fenris was hardly surprising.
Natska adjusts the gems in her pendant as she follows, ears perked, listening to the others. "maybe it's one of your competitors?" she offers. She gives the others a happy smile, then crosses her arms and listens for the pitch.
The lion nods his head at the assembled beings, "Don't be ridiculous, we do not have competitors here, it is our first time." the lion being says before he gazes on all group, "Ok, so I want you to act on their stead....let us see." the lion rubs his chin and looks around, "The play is about a daring knight saving a princess from the tower of an evil dragon.
