SteamJack Circus

 

 


Organiser: Brought to you by Grubgubanadasniggit (Grub) and his Crew. Grub and his Crew have a travelling junker wagon and setup, and will often take his show on the road to both sell the parts from many of the destructive matches. Corvis Founding Day is one of Grub's most anticipated celebrations as his Circus always draws a huge crowd.

Description: The Steamjack Circus, is a series of competitions ranging from good old Steamjack brawls, where Jack handlers from all over Immoren can compete for the 5000-gold coin purse, to the 'Jack harness races and the block pulling competitions. Gambling on all things is not only allowed but encouraged. Betting booths are set up everywhere and the City Guard and the Merchants

The area for the circus is setup in two large arenas. The first arena is where the Brawls take place. This is the larger of the arenas, as folks are more likely to take to watching the Brawls.

The second arena is for the Races. The races while not as popular, draws a large crowd of mostly bodgers and steamo's who compete to see who can make the fastest Jack.

Betting booths are everywhere and Grub and his crew have hired many normally off duty City guards as well as several large mercenary companies to serve as protection to the proceeds and the patrons.

First light: Jack Check-in

Early Morning: Showcase of jacks.

Social Crowd: The crowd at the circus comes from all walks of life. For the rich and the nobles there are several entrances specifically for them to keep them away from the rest of the patrons as well as there is special seating set aside for the nobles in both arenas. Everyone else comes in at the other entrances and has a seating among the masses.  Grub has even set aside area for King Leto and his main advisors.
