You can call me Al

Fascinated but cautious Arowe winds his way among the stalls and rides.  The Big Wheel looks like fun, but he doesn't entirely trust those leaping hobbit-folk with all the ropes, so doesn't risk a go.

Of all the weird and wacky stalls, one catches his eye : A mess of thorns, twigs and thatch twisted together into a weird sort of druidic gazebo with a wisp of smoke coming out of a short chimney at the top. The name Al Khem's Aisles of Delight on the sign only added to the appeal for Arowe as did the shelves strewn with flasks, bottles and gourds of every kind.

Arowe goes in and emerges again a mere few minutes later clutching a bag of thorns and goo that Al himself assured him would tangle anyone who stepped in it. In his pocket though was something potentially more useful.  Arowe's fear of spiders and snakes had been in control of his purse when he bought the bottle of Antitoxin.  And a damn good idea it was too!

everything at a fair price

 Fortu strolls around the place, totally bemused by the hussle and bussle, but with a permanent grin. Never having had the freedom before he enjoyed moving around the fair. Stopping outside Vitalli's Potent Potions as the owner cry's out the unbelievable benefits of his wares. "so if I drink this small flask I will stop bleeding and the cuts will heal?" Fortu asks incredulously.

"yes fine sir and its good for other ailments too, wont do any good for your existing scars mind"

"how much then?"

All the Stalls

Wandering around the fair, the four of you spot a few caravans that catch your eyes.
Standing proud amongst the mundane vendors such as 'Jon's Cheeses' and 'Pol's Pots and Pans' you notice 'Mergalf's Magical Travelling Emporium', 'Vitalli's Potent Potions' and 'Madam Megarna: Fortune Teller to Royalty'.
There are also several rides, Most of them are aimed at the children but the 'Big Wheel' is still very impressive. Standing at over thirty feet tall, it dominates the field. It takes you all a while to work out how it's powered, until you notice the halfling acrobats clambering all over it, using their own weight to keep it moving, speed it up and to slow it down.

Tine's Wines

The fat and greasy vintner chortles to himself as his assistant loads his recently acquired bottles of white wine into his straw lined cart.
What a double stroke of luck!
Not only has he managed to buy sixty-one bottles of fine wine at half its market value from those naive adventurers but the news of Martha's death makes it twice as sweet.
An evil thought flits through his immoral mind...
Could he perhaps even buy Martha's vineyard?
