MADAM HARINA'S TRAVELING SIDESHOW
This traveling show is a small circus of freaks, strange beasts, conmen, midgets and thieves. Many others juggle, play music and others do minor acts of legerdemain. They move from small town to town setting up several display tents and cages. Smaller acts work outside the tents with money hats set out. The larger acts do small bits on a little stage to get visitors attention. They have lions, apes, tigers, leopards, monkeys, zebras, snakes, a griffon and a Minotaur. They are willing to add to this menagerie, if one were to have something to offer.
Their caravan consists of six gypsy wagons, twelve large cage wagons, a meal wagon, Madam Harina’s personal coach, slave worker’s wagon, dog wagon, and a smithy wagon.
The general members of the crew are:
Jarass the Smith: Fixes minor breakdowns shoes horses and the like.

Jusha Harina: Acrobat and Harpist, Jusha is the young 14 year old son of the Madam. He is learning to be a wizard from the Korgan the Jester. Lv0 Mage Cantrips / 3 day.
Korgan the Jester: Korgan is an illusionist of great power. He is currently in hiding and has made this rag tag bunch of travelers his home. He is on the run from a group of Gamalean hit men.
Madam Harina: She is a Ruathyn traveler. Never seeming to be satisfied with her location. She is always looking for the way to the lost city, but most think she is crazy. She runs the shows and sideshows. She also runs a small brothel in two of the wagon during the late shows. Lv9 Mage. Necklace of spell protection, and cape of many colors.
They travel around the district of Amber in the spring. To the other provinces during the summer and fall. They have wintered near the Village of Sethmoor for the last three years and have a small compound with nine year round guards.
The Harina’s also participate in the slave trade having from 10-40 slaves at any given time. For every five they will have hired a Level 2 fighter to watch the slaves. The slaves are used to put up tents, feed animals and general labor. They are sold and traded as needed. They are fed well and treated with some degree of humanity, although they do not live as well as the rest of the troop.
In Madam Harina’s Coach is a triple locked iron chest with deadly poison trap and magical wards. In it is the treasure of the whole troop. A silken pouch with 80pp 276gp, a leather sack with 175sp and 2200cp. In a false bottom is another silk pouch with three pearl necklaces, 1500gp each, three rings worth 200gp each and a large diamond studded belt 3000gp. Two giant baboons guard this wagon at all time along with two level6 guards. The baboons may be killed but not without making a huge racket.
Some players should beware, for if they piss off the Harina’s they may wake up in a dark wagon chained and gagged on a road to the Valusian desert to be traded for water.
