Attempt 3, Floor 2: What waits us past the demo level?!

[Dracos]

"Children...here?  What a strange contrast," Aesop remarked in surprise.

[Corwin]

"Children, My Brother?" Corwin asks, blinking at the sounds.

[Carthrat]

"Creatures with the guise of Children, perhaps," replies Tchaener, approaching the door and peering closer inside.

[Anastasia]

Ahead of you in a large, starsharped room is a carnival front! A tent at the far side looms into the depths and in front of that is a carosel. Children giggle and laugh as they spin on it, a clown clapping and running around as they play.

As the heroes enter in, the clown turns and honks his nose. "Welcome the carnival!" he says, a picture of cheery, creepy clownhood. As he pads over in his oversized feet, "You'll come and stay with us! It claps it's hands together, dancing about and making it's entire round body jiggle.

[Carthrat]

"Corwin, the clown is worrisome. This is unnatural," states Tchaener, softly.

[Dracos]

"What a...very creepy fellow," Aesop commented, unfamiliar with this 'clown' notion.

Dracos

[Anastasia]

"Creepy?" A frothy laugh follows this, as if it's throat is filled with snot and bile. "My children are having a wonderful time!" Behind you the children on the carosel laugh, a discordant and shaking laugh that isn't quite -right-.

[Corwin]

"By Eric's bearded balls, this clown is evil and must be stopped!" Corwin proclaims, grabbing his shield from where it is strapped to his back and holding it before him, as if to ward off the foul creature!

[Carthrat]

"So be it," states Tchaener, readying his bow, arrow notched and prepared to inflict harm!

[Dracos]

Aesop stands ready, not attacking, but prepared to disrupt anything the clown does.

* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d4+2 and gets 5." [1d4=3]

Five creatures appear around the clown! Little winged humanoids, only a few feet tall. Gremlin like creatures, with silver spoons the size of their bodies lugged, overflowing with flames! The children on the carosel stop, whimpering as the go back to hide!
