Have a tent that features magic and magical items that can be used to enhance one's love life.  I am seeing such a tent staffed by an attractive (and very knowledgable) middle-aged woman. |

The players come across a tent, huge and expansive. 30' x 30' square with rounded edges. The strong scent of perfume and lavander chokes most who walk by. The pink canvas that makes up the tent is offset by white thick stripes along it's roof. Dagging on the tent's edge is in the shape of hearts. Two barely clad strappingly huge human males stand before the tent's open entry. Wearing nothing but a kilt of brass brigadine under leather, their oiled muscles rippling in the miday sun. In each of their hands is a huge feather, as one would use to fan someone in luxury. hidden beneath the feathery fan is a thin sword, just barely visible to the trained eye.
Once the Players enter, the sight inside makes them pause. They are greeted by the soft gentle sound of the ocean, emanating from someplace magical within the tent. Women float around the interior under flowing gowns of white and lavender giving drinks and inscence to patrons who are lounging on piles of pillows in random spots within the tent. The sounds of the ocean is layered with the occasional forest sounds of bird chirping in the disatance.
A matronly woman, in her fourty summers walks over to the players. Her disarming smile and rounded features puts the players instantly at ease. Her ample frame is barely crushed into the lovely white and yellow dress. She tells the players her name is Yulona, priestess of Sune. She is a purveyor of magical items in the search for furthering one's love within their life.
Potions of charm, "altered" potions of stoneskin ( just affects certain parts of anatomy) Amulets of charisma, Rings ranging from charm to friends to endurance.
Yulona favors beauty and anyone not beautiful, she makes it her goal to sell that person something...ANYTHING in the tent. By people buying her beautification or love items, it furthers her goddess and her purse. She offers players to sit and try any item out while in the tent. If anyone steals from her tent, the item is cursed and will begin to subtract charisma from the person at a rate of (you pick). Yulona will offer anything that she can to help those who shop in her tent, and will cut prices if she knows it will go to helping beautify the Realms.

~ Dirrwyniok Stickfingers Magical Seminar Tent ~
The players some across a set of three tents 10' X 20' each. All three plain grey tents are end to end to form a long narrow tent.
The players can hear the strangest sounds coming from inside the tent. The sound of metal hitting stone, magical blasts hitting water and the groan of wood beams and chains hitting grass all assault the player's ears. This tent has a strange barker outside it's door.
Gillrek, A kobold in fineries that would make a prince envious is standing atop a st of boxes so he is eye level with humans and shouting things to attract a crowd just like a carnival barker. Swinging a withered cane around, pointing to the tent and making grand boasts, he draws in theplayer's attentions. 20 gold gets you through the door.
The players enter in groups. One group is led in at a timeby a yuthful looking man in his middle ages. His head of hair is full, and his beard is trimmed neatly. Dirrwyniok is his name. Proprietor of the tents you now stand in. His hands are the only thing that show his true age. Like hands of a withered mummy, the bones look as if someone stretched the skin across them. An accdent of trying to alter a shrink spell, Dirrwyniok doesn't mind talking about it. " Experimentation is what progress is built upon" is his mottto.
THere are mini booths within the 3 tents. And Dirrwyniok walks you by each and explains to the group what each is for. the booths show the players that spells are not just for their original purpose.
Booth 1 shows a caster casting spider climb, hanging upside down from a rope, dressed like a rogue, and beneath him is a set of dogs. the dogs sit around a pedistal with a huge gem on it. The mage hanging reaches down after the spell is cast and touches the gem, sticking to it. Using the spell as a pcikpocket ability shows Dirrwyniok has an idea that spells can be used in new and original ways.
Booth 2 shows a mage on one side of a fake stone wall, and a tied up goblin on the other. A pile of small stones sits at the mage's feet. A huge gaudy ring is on on of the hands off the goblin. THe mage picks up a stone, casts a spell then tosses the stone over the fake wall, watching the stone enlarge to a boulder and crush the goblin on the other side. the sounds of chains and rock smashing into meat cuts through the air. Once the show is over and the crowd moves on, the boulder is dispelled and the ring of regeneration kciks in on the goblin and he slowly comes back, angry and sore.
you get the idea...i aint doing every booth , but you get the idea.

Don't forget that there HAS to be a tent, small and open with a heavy wooden table in it's front, with mages showing the Glory of Azuth and Mystra. Religion is not always a big part of every mage, some have the knack without the eyes of Gods.
Mages who owe their lives to the gifts of Azuth and Mystra will be there to help convert.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also, put a few tents with open sides for recruiters for mage schools. Not all mage schools are mysterious and put on talent searches to find the best students to apprentice. Some new school are hurting for funds and will take ANYONE who pays the entry tuition. If they happen to go broke while in school, or fail, well... that is how Mystra shows who has talent and who doesnt...in the mage teacher's eyes.

hello everybody:
this is my first tent:
its called Symphony of the Multiverse
Imagine a medium tent with blue/white colours mixed with stars,planets, moons patern which they animate. Inside there is a small circle (like a teloportation one) that when a creature enters it and speaks the name of a plane the enviroment inside the tent changes to the one of the spoken planes (with good detail). For safety reasons this is no extra-planar travel but its a illusion, only good alligned or neutral planes can be presented due to Mage fair's rules. You can charge this service or use it to draw possible customers inside the tent to buy books with planar knowledge, exotic magic compomends for extraplanar use, planar maps and planar creatures as pets. At the end of each day a random customer (with a bill of at least 750gp) will receive a Radiant Parrot from the plane of radience for free (Cool pet eh?  )
Second tent:
Music and Magic
Marain Wintercloak is a Charming human female wizzard, her husband Pherhos Woodnote is a talented creator of music instruments, their love isnt the only thing they share, but a they have a great passion with music, combined their skills they create magical intruments which upon a verbal command they start to float in the air and perform a limited number of melodies, their latest achievement is to co-ordinate up to 4 into a small orchestra (medium perform). They are selling they intruments but the prizes are high since each one is a magical item, and the limited number of melodies and the lack of verbal (sorry they cant sing...at least for now ) makes this busyness one with a small profit. The real reason the "couple" is at the mage fair is that they are Harpers, who are deployed to spy at the mage fair. (from now on its yours Victor ) perhaps they are here to gather info for the red wizzards (if they have a tent) or to steal some artifact, or simply to monitor things around the mage fair
hope you like it :-) |
