Ambrosia blinded Aranthor and Seoni before she cast a a spell to call for aid from a lion. She fled (using magic) as soon as she took any damage.
When the heroes drove away Ambrosia and her dark ice fey and defeated her lion, the quickling jabbed Aranthor quickly, using his dagger and sneak attacking. When Aranthor took a good swipe at him, the quickling distanced himself from nearby opponents and hurled a small black lusterless pearl. Upon sharp impact, the bead exploded, sending forth a burst of force. A globe of shimmering force enclosed Aranthor and Wrack, trapping them for several minutes. The quickling then attacked Seoni, but fled when Mrunk chased him away.
Wrack decided to use the heartripper blade to restore Mrunk's strength. Thankfully he spoke to the pigs that grazed behind the pie-eating contest first, all of whom were previous pie-eating-contest winners, horribly transformed by the chef as a reward for being the biggest pigs. Wrack then sacrificed one of the carnival's beasts of burden. Unfortunately, part of Mrunk's revivification already included a restoration spell, so another one in such short interval had no effect on him.
Next, the heroes saw a tiny, whimsical-looking humanoid darting about swiftly on wildly-colored gossamer wings. He was wandering around the fair handing out free drinks.
As soon as he noticed the heroes, he dipped his arrows into the brew. He fled as soon as Mrunk and Aranthor got close enough to make melee attacks.

Pursuing the Prancing Quickling (day 1, Lamashan [October] 4708 AR)
The manhog's machine was filled with rotten entrails. The manhog stomped the pedal and blasted Mrunk with a shot of entrails as he approached. The blast was a ranged attack that targeted all opponents in a line emanating from the wielder. Targets struck were dealt fire damage.
The heroes managed to kill the beast, while Syntira made an appearance to ensure it was dead. According to her, the swine was the one responsible for turning her people against her, and anyone who came in contact with it could suffer the same fate.
The heroes found the quickling around the Titan's Wheel next. As an unaffected patron chased fairgoers away from the Titan's Wheel, the quickling yanked his pants down. When spotted, the quickling ran through this section.
Next, the quickling ran into the Strong Ale Tent. Beneath the ale tent, the reveling lumberjacks stood contorted in various stages of rigor as they slowly transformed into gnarled trees, while their comrades stumbled about in an alcohol-infused haze engaging in one-sided conversations with oak skinned friends. One scrawny jack drunkenly boasted about his axe work and obliviously displayed his prowess by whacking one of the tree men and deftly splitting him into a small pile of logs.
Lumberjacks aplenty began to sprout branches and take root here. The quickling rustled branches in newly formed "trees" as he darted about, stealing a lumberjack's cap at one point flitting about with the oversized (and visible) hat on his head.
Next, the quickling ran into the Blind Peep Show. Signs sloppily painted in brownish-red blood read "Free Peep Show!" Their arrows pointed to a pair of nondescript tents erected in the shadow of the wood, just beyond the ale tents. In front of the tents, fairgoers of all types lined up before the entrance, bristling with excited anticipation to see what caused the bright flashes of light and horrified screams from within. Mangled in the branches of the nearby trees hung the bodies of several half-orcs, dancers, and a pair of foreign musicians, their mouths and eye sockets all stuffed with fresh daisies.
Once the fey took over, Kabran's goons were "sent away", and his dancers were replaced by Ambrosia, who blinded patrons before other fey descended on them with murder in mind. The quickling tugged at Ambrosia's veils, revealing her charms to onlookers, before disappearing again. Ambrosia blinded Aranthor and Wrack, before she cast a spell to call for aid.
