About this environment

Smoke from overturned stew pots, screams and stampeding crowds, wingbeats, chittering, ground trembling, lanterns swinging wildly overhead. The joyful chaos erupts into panic as monsters from the Plover Caves spills into Elmore. This is where PCs get to spend Festival Tokens earned during the Social Encounter.
