Battle of the Bards - Les Abóminables - Lady Carla

The band spectacularly left the theatre. Flying out through the open air stage and pit.

They then went on to quickly find Lady Carla, where instead of gold they took 3 magical items
Heironimyo took the wraps of unarmed prowlness which give +1 to unarmed combat.
Xlixi took the Grey Bag of Tricks which you can hurl a fuzzy ball that turns into a fury creature.
Hydrica is yet to pick (to be reconed)
List of potential items

Lady Carla quizzed the band on who was the perpetrator.
Without pause the band negotiated for an extra item rather than gold.

Hit with extreme tiredness the bank snuck back to the abandoned inn, on route they hid from people wearing a variety of Arcane Fire t-shirts.

The bank woke from a deep slumber with a start.
A pair of Red glowing eyes were looking down on them
With a start and barely contained bladder, Xlixi jumped up and tried to bolt it but was caught so his legs were running in mid air.
Hieronymo was grabbed as he stood up, and promptly turtled up.

A voice could be heard, asking them why they are running.

They vaugely recognised the voices as coming from Mordakai and Orianna. 
They quizzed the band on money they have earned so far, as well the big man is owed 50% of it.
And if you don't have the money now, don't worry we will put it on your tab at 200% interest per day, so no rush....

The band convinced the twins that they have not earned any gold.

The twins went in about how they have rectified the situation, and we are now earning from branding and merchandise.

When pressed about it, they informed the band that Bures shirts had been producing unlicensed merchandise, but not to worry about that as that has all been sorted and they will no longer be a problem.
Also some popcorn vendor has agreed to pay royalties for the arcane fire flavour of popcorn.

Heironymo asked further questions, and grew increasingly worried with the answers.

Something about
Accident
Did not learn how to fly
Became legless

The twins produced 2 disguse kits for the band, proclaiming that they do look after them and there interests.

Also that in 2 days time the band have gig 
The largest show of all time 
What with all they hype, we must capitalise on it now
So we have arranged for a clearing in a forest to be extended 
The trees that will be felled, will be used to build a large circular stage, with a surrounding standing area, then teired seating all the way around.

So you better have more than three songs, and enough to fill an hour set.
With lots of effects.

When asked about how much money has been made on merchandise, the twins respond with expenses 

New t-shirt design - expenses 
Arranging new merchandise suppliers - expenses 
Sourcing location - expenses 
Lumberjacks to clear the forest - expenses 
Carpenters to build the stage - expenses 
Carpenters to build the seating - expenses 
Disguse kits - expenses 

Oh and as you cannot stay at your own homes due to your fame, we bought you a new home - expenses 

But don't worry after all the big man's 50% 
 and the expenses, you will get your share.

Oh n here is the 33 day rolling lock matrix for your new home, as apparently the entrance door keeps changing.

The band disguise up and head out.

First they check out Burts shirts 

They find a burnt husk of a building.
After investigations, they find blood splatters and guts strewn over the walls.
Looks like the staff at burts shirts met with the fury of the twins.
They find blood streaks outside, and Xlixi accidently bought more of the shop down around them, but it did give them a chance to talk to some passersby that informed them that the owner is with the clerics, but was in a bad way, as apparently legs don't grow back.

So the band came up with a plan.
See the clerics
View there home
Find out about the popcorn vendor

But then Heironymo had an important thing he needed, a must have.

So back to the theater they go and end up chatting to Lamina and the director
Lamina agreed to create Heirnymo a yellow bandana with eye holes.
Xlixi got a pair of dungarees in the colour of the gnome costume.
When asked if it was magical, she blew glitter all over it, and as everyone knows once something is glitter bombed it stays glitter bombed.

Via the Director they got Biscuit to draw up plans to make the stage an acoustic speaker so there sound could be heard further away.

The band then head over to the warehouse district to engage the services of a carpenter to oversee the work.
They meet with Caren then Carpenter, where they fly her to Knebworth forest and see the destruction the twins have done to build the open air arena.

The twins take over the negotiation, and with a flash of light a deal is struck with Caren.

Xlixi then goes to the perimeter where there are still trees, and talks with the trees convincing them that when the band starts, the best thing they can do to take revenge for the destruction, is direct there leaves, si they rebound and make louder the noise.

The band then head back into the city, just over a day left till they headline at Knebworth in front of 40,000 people!
