I keep forgetting to post about this: we've been troubleshooting the "missing notifications" problem for the past few days. (Well, I say "we", really I mean Mark and Robby; I'm just the amanuensis.) It's been one of those annoying loops of "find a logical explanation for what could be causing the problem, fix that thing, observe that the problem gets better for some people but doesn't go away completely, go back to step one and start again", sigh.

Mark is hauling out the heavy debugging ordinance to try to find the root cause. Once he's done building all the extra logging tools he needs, he'll comment to this entry. After he does, if you find a comment that should have gone to your inbox and sent an email notification but didn't, leave him a link to the comment that should have sent the notification, as long as the comment itself was made after Mark says he's collecting them. (I'd wait and post this after he gets the debug code in but I need to go to sleep and he's not sure how long it will take!)

We're sorry about the hassle! Irregular/sporadic issues like this are really hard to troubleshoot because it's impossible to know if they're fixed or if they're just not happening while you're looking. With luck, this will give us enough information to figure out the root cause for real this time.

No one in Rivington can tell you how long the Circus of the Last Days has been here, nor can they say with any certainty why it has such an ominous name. No one is expecting an apocalypse any time soon, but most people who expect such things soon end up being fools or cultists anyway. So unless these are your last days, personally speaking, you're probably fine, for a given value.

Certainly it's lively. There's a mummy selling face paint and disguises, a djinni with a wheel game, several dancing corpses, and plenty of bards. Havoc, upon stumbling into the place, found they fit right in. Which is good, because they have yet to figure out how they got here, how to get back, or where exactly they are.

They blame the djinni. You don't sweat the small stuff, though, and said entity seems disinclined to talk out the problem, simply calling them UGLY SMALL HAIRY ONE in a big booming voice when they approach. There's a limit to how much of that they want to endure, so they've decided to undertake a musical battle with a red dragonborn bard. To his credit, he seems pretty chill about this, and they've been exchanging riffs for the last fifteen minutes.

The harengon is small, but a bit of an eyeful nevertheless, with big lop ears, bright colors on their clothing, and a gold-studded neon codpiece that's just this side of indecent. Gender is impossible to tell at a glance; they have a flat chest and wide hips, but that's pretty characteristic of rabbitfolk. Their voice, when they use it, is a growling staccato, uttering beats and pops and peculiar noises reminiscent of the scream of birds rather than a melody.

Come check out the performances, obtain a treato from the kobold, or stand around and wonder how in the name of all that's holy you got here.

((ooc: Consider this an open post and also an excuse to bring in any non-Caldera, non-BG3 characters you want an excuse for. It's an extraplanar circus, they probably open portals accidentally all the time.))
