"The bigger the audience, the better!" he says cheerfully. "I'll just make a start now though."
He clears his throat, calling out to the people milling around nearby. "Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Numbat, and today I shall be performing for you. Gather round and witness the greatest knife thrower around!"
A knife thrower. You've heard of that before - creatures of great skill who can toss around knives without hurting anyone - performing quite elaborate tricks, full of finesse.
I quickly go and get Crimson, "Stay close to me and out of the way."
You peer round the corner to see Centaurs that are Firedancing. A cultural dance that involves jumping over a fire and generally having fun. Most are drinking ale from a large keg that has been rolled over to them.
It's obvious that these cheap guards should be looking after their warehouses, but a simple offer of beer has them away from their posts in a heartbeat.
You see two Centaurs who aren't joining in on the fun - instead holding full mugs of ale and keeping a sharp eye on the partying guards. One of the watching males notices you - a grey haired Centaur with curling ram horns and bright silvery-blue eyes. He nods to you once before going back to making sure the guards are properly distracted.
Time to make your move - from here, you can see the warehouse the female was talking about. It is across the road though - so you're going to have to sneak across without being noticed.
Delirious sticks close to the shadows as she makes her way towards the large building. She makes sure to walk and not sneak, sneaking always makes her look heaps more suspicious to unwanted onlookers that she was yet to notice. She walks carefully and keeps her ears and eyes open for any others that may find her presence in this area suspicious.

Nicote reluctantly climbs up, pulling up his hood. He looks around
The day is bright, a stark contrast to last night. Your eyes take a few seconds to adjust, but when they do you take in your surroundings.
The canal seems to cut through the entire city, bridges arcing across them in places. Here it is a wide open body of water where barges have space to stop and load goods. There are a few market stalls jammed into the sides of the nearby buildings, selling dehydrated foods. Some of the foods are in cans - a type of preservation you've only seen appear recently. 'Course, then you need a way to open the can. That's another matter entirely.
The cart is stopped, the end of it pointed at a barge called 'The Torrent'. Balthur is talking to the barge owner, exchanging a few things you just can't see between each other.
Knight growls at a staring barge owner, who quickly finds other places to look.

What do you wish to engrave on your room, to show others it's yours?

I quickly go and get Crimson, "Stay close to me and out of the way."
Sure thing, she says, sticking close to your ankles.
When you return, there is a large crowd around Numbat the Goblin, but there is no hiding his awe-inspiring performance. Small and large bladed weapons spin up into the air in a controlled manner, making intricate shapes in the air before falling and repeating.
Woah, Crimson's jaw drops while the crowd claps and cheers.

I thought you might like to see this, I watch in amazement.
