While camping beside the road, a colorful wagon trundles on up with a sort of clanking, jingling musical immodesty. You didn't think it a particularly big cart, but about fifteen men and women inexplicably pour out of its back. Painted faces, musical instruments, juggling balls, longswords for swallowing, wine jugs for firebreathing, the troupe of entertainers fan out and demonstrate mini-talent shows as though you'd already paid for their services. When they finish, they clap, stomp their feet, and freeze before you, hands out, smiles across their faces. A white-faced mime ironically speaks.
"What say you, travelers, care for a show? A mere Payment报酬 crowns to entertain you all evening!"
Entertainer steps forward and picks up some of the troupe's tools of trade. He tests them out, impressing the entertainers with how well he's able to use their own equipment. The mime asks if perhaps they could play a couple of tunes with him. He nods and joins the entertainers, putting on a show that's for the ages. When it's all over, the troupe is so impressed that they try and recruit the man. You tell them that ain't happening and Entertainer nods.
"My time is with the Companyname now, but I appreciate the compliment."
You ask how much for the show, but the troupe leader shakes his head.
"No need. It was a pleasure playing with him. We've not put on a show like that in some time and the practice will do us well."

Before the troupe can start, Nobleman the nobleman gets up and asks if they know of a particular song from his days in the court.
"They used to sing it when I was a little lad. It's been years since I've heard it."
The mime, again breaking character, grins and loudly proclaims that they know it. He snaps his fingers and the musicians of the group pick up their instruments. When they start, the tune is instantly catchy. It's a stringed and horn orchestration, played alongside a large woman singing from both heart and belly. She is a tempest of a singer, bringing both the quiet and ferocity of a large storm's coming and going, and her lyrics are that of incredible heroism of yore.
After the troupe finishes, you ask how much you owe them. The mime shakes his head.
"No, sir, payment is not necessary. It's been awhile since that got requested and it was a pleasure to play it for you."

You order the troupe raided. The mime, this time actually in character, holds up his hands and mouths 'what?'. But the playfulness is wiped away when Randombrother walks up and plants a punch right on his chin. The mime goes down with a catlike cry, mewling in the mud as he nurses his jaw.
The rest of the company knocks the troupe around while raiding their wagon for goods. A juggler gets kicked right in the balls and a singer has her throat chopped by Randombrother2's hand. The sword swallower tries to hide his sword the only place he knows where, but a mercenary retrieves it with a rather painful unsheathing. The firebreather drinks the entirety of his jug then asks if you want to take that, too. You have him gut-punched for his snark.
When it's all said and done, there really isn't much to take as beating up jesters isn't the most profitable business. At least with a busted mouth maybe the mime will do his job better.

You pay for a show which the troupe puts on quite well. The jesters crack out some jokes, the jugglers juggle which is sorta old-hat but whatever, singers sing, swords get swallowed, fire 'breathed', and the mime, well, he's godawful and you actually hope he dies.
When it's all said and done, you do feel like you got your money's worth and the men are happy.
