Isinglass' Fall of the Faire

All's Faire is a semi-improvised comedy following the adventures of a few young people working their first jobs as squires at a Medieval Funworld Amusement park. The most important and strictest rule of which is "NEVER BREAK CHARACTER". However, sticking to this rule is harder than it may seem, and as mysterious and seemingly magical things begin happening around the park, the lines between fiction and reality become murkier and murkier.  Knights, warlocks, vagabonds, ladies, turkey legs, and a mysteriously insightful goat. What could possibly go wrong?
