Idea Prompt 43: A Circus of Doubt

 A small group of hermits have been asked to explore a circus and the city around it. There is a problem though. They need to search it as animals. Well, almost all of them had to search as animals. They were all forced into a roulette game that ended with Joe being the only human remaining. The animal hermits still kept their intelligence and ability to speak and understand English which was good in there eyes.

 The only downside is that they don't know the person who gave them their mission, and what they are searching for.
