Brian didn't see what happened, but gazes at the kobold as it steps over to talk to the vendor.  "That's who Xy said to follow around," Brian said.  "The guy's been pretty good, too.  Helped show me around to some of the games, the shows.  Things like that.  He's okay."<br/><br/>Meanwhile, the kobold talked to the vendor, discovering the meat pies today are made with steak.  "Steak and cheese!" the kobold said, bringing a small plate of the pies over.  "Eat eat!  Tasty!"  The food seemed to be normal.  There was nothing added to it, nothing magical.  For every magical or wicked game the carnival played, there seemed to be one that was mundane.
