the figure trudges through the snow coverd by a cloak his face hidden by the shadow of his hood. the figure wanders through the town in search of a hot meal and lodgings. hearing of a place known as the typsies mermaid he heads towards where he thinks it is from the directions someone he had spoken on his travels.  before entering he shakes off the snow that has built up on his coat and steps inside from the cold night. He sits down at a seat at the bar close to the fire place and wates to be served.  He pulls back his hood revealing a strange sight a dark purple dragonborn something most if any would have never heard of let alone seen.

A small elvish figure enters shortly after with a bag overflowing with costumes, wigs and other performance gear. A lute and lyre are carefully tied to the side of the pack. She shakes off the snow and almost falls over as the weight shifts. "Goddamn Bloody Winter." She swears in Quendish before stabilizing herself on a nearby table. She looks around a little embaressed.

Seeing the barman busy, she looks around the bustling place. *he may not need a bard considering how busy the place is.* She thinks to herself. Weary from her travels she takes a seat at the nearest available spot before she really did fall over.

Greeting young elf; would you like something to eat or Drink? What's your story my dear?
Stories and songs are what I live for. I'm a songstress and storyteller. A seeker of history. Shadow Starr's the name. Recently I visited the Fae Isles and wrote a song of an exploration there. I have traveled all over plying my trade. With the recent events that have occurred on Haven I felt that this would be the best place be inspired to write an epic story, or ballad. Whichever fits best. I seek lost history and lore and to inspire the people here to be their best. Some rum would be great. As Shadow orders a rum she inquired.  Do you know of any companies who would be interested in a bard?
-he raises his hand - ill get a rum to please

Hmm; well you seem well mannered Dragonborn, so sign here and we'll indenture you into the Worshipful Company! And as for you Miss; we dont need an official bard but there is a guild of Jongleurs if you;d care to join them. Otherwise,feel free to strum your lute around the Mermaid. Just make sure not to become a part of one of your stories; as I have found, few stories on Maladon end well. he says indicating yet another member of the company being sewn into a shroud.
hmm This is the first time I have heard of the Jongleurs. Do they do any adventuring? You see I need to do some work on the fae isles involving some pixies. S he subconsciously rubs one of her fingers. I'm afraid I am already a part of that song and I cannot disappoint any fans waiting to hear what would happen next. Sometimes there is poetic justice in the world, and you can't find the real song unless you are there.  She looks at the shroud and offers a prayer and sings a short dirge for the departed. Afterwards she looks back at the man. I thank you for your warning. I will do my best not to be included in that number.

Most people calls them the Bards; but I like the Guild of Jongleurs better. They seek stories and new music on the isles of Maladon. Several are chronicling the glorious campaign; though not a few have given up on account of the death count and become useless drunks. After all; it's hard when the hero of your epic tale dies suddenly. Not a few have taken to intriguing also; there are rumours the nobles pay them to spy upon one another.
That Sounds like my kind of place. Do you know where I might find them? She inquires politely. also any chance of some grub before I head out?

Adolfo slaps down a bowl of soup and says; you will often find them at the Silver Inn on the Street of Three Fishes. I believe they use it as their Guild Hall at this moment.
Thank you very much, you are a scholar and a saint. She has her soup, picks up her heavy bag with a bit of a stumble, and makes her way to the Silver Inn. On entering she observes the guests and looks for someone who resemble the bard in charge.

The barkeep, seeing her instrument motions with his thumb upstairs and Shadow hears the tell-tale sound of a lute being tuned. As she vaults the stairs; eager to meet fellow players she almost falls back down them as she sees a terrifying horde of monsters. One of them is taller then Adolfo and several have horns. Shadow almost falls back down the stairs when suddenly all the 'monsters' burst out laughing and throw off their costumes! The giant is revealed as a man on stilts and the horned ones take off their false racks. Welcome fellow player! I see you are one of our ilk. Forgive our appearances and our laughter. Must have given you quite a fright. We are preparing to stage the annual mystery play for the Festival of Kine. It is the planting season you see and Kine is.......well what am I telling an elf all this for? Didn't the Goddess create your race? I am Wilhelm and these are Sophia, Malanus, Spike, Constance and Lavell.  Apart we are nothing, but together we are Lord Valentin's Players!
I am Shadow, I'm told this is the place to be. I would like to join your players. Do you need any help with the play?

Come and join us; and let us hear that instrument of yours. Sing us a lay from your lands.
Well this is one I composed recently about an adventure to the fae isles . She unstraps her lyre from her back. (Nat 20 rolled skill total performance lyre 25) All gathered were free, As any could be, How rich was the lands, Flowed of mist bands, Exploration to be, A Fae land as fair, And dangerous could be, Upon Drucilla's Lair. A lone Shadow bard, With a tale to tell! Of Fierce and Wise Jewel, A dwarf who knew Rule. Of Bort simple and dumb, For strength he's the Bomb! Of Gaxx Instinctive and Proud, Of Boris Caring and Loud, Both filled with Rage, That anyone could gauge. And Poor Eryn whose Flare, Rightly made her a Hare, Her's ideals were flawed, And thus was mauled. A long boat's trip, To the Fae Isle. To rest at the camp's tip. The haunted tavern's ghosts we did not rile! At night the ghostly voice summons. Heed not or you may soil your cottons. Our fast broke over eggs and bacon. And south on the road, Was the path our feet were taken. We made good time with nothing to goad. Off the path did we finally make camp. Grateful were we that there was nothing too damp. Soon after bed, loud noises were creeping “Fuck Off!!!” Jewel called, “We are Sleeping!' A troll ran up, refusing to be cowed. Little did he know our fighters are proud! Strike after Strike! Went Boris, Gaxx and Bort. Shot after shot Eryn did spike. Javelin's throw after throw was Jewel's retort. Shadow made plenty of Cheers, And just as many of the Jeers. Down went Bob the Troll, All under our control. Another troll suddenly appears, Calling something to it's peers. Another round of battle ensued. Our party almost took out Troll two. Another 3 trolls quickly appeared A number sure to be feared. A man named Turian called a cease fire, It was in High Valkyrie that only Shadow knew, So became an event only she could inspire, Thankfully the party took the cue, And another troll avoided the Pyre. A ring gift to Shadow Turian Imbued. Yet the party's jeers were still pretty lewd. The man Turian and trolls retreated. We returned to the sleep that was really needed. We awoke with the morning sun. Ready to continue our exploring run. To the South we still headed, And found some dead animals, Whose pelts could be mended, Soon the group became close pals. Night now approaches, Our outlanders found us some food, And filled out pouches. That left us all in a really good mood. Watches were set, And down we went to bed. To avoid any sleep debt, And our limbs becoming lead. During very late that night, Those awake saw a great sight. A Majestic Dragon of Red, Flying far overhead. Fire sprayed from it's maw. A sight that inspires great awe. And before the light shone, It was quickly gone. We continued to explore. And among thick webs in the forest, Were animals that were not alive anymore. Getting them free was such a pest, But such a waste it was to leave them at rest, And collected pelt to add to our fee, But we stayed on the forest path, The giant spiders we did not want to see, Hoping to avoid their sticky wrath. But Eryn, Poor Eryn wanted to see, The webby forest burning brightly. The party sopped this reckless though, Eryn agreed, and the claim was bought, Tired and weary we looked for a camp trail, But what did we witness? When we left the webbed forest? A missing Eryn and a fire on our tail. It was all such a horrible mess. Oh but our wayward Elf was truly a Pest. On and on we ran, Away from the blaze, Not caring at all that we were down a woman. For at this point we were all in a Daze. How epic became this tale. To the south came a savior, As a tornado began to sail, Contrary to it's normal behavior. It blew the fire all away. And we could finally call it a day. A camp was made as we all felt blue, And Eryn arrived soon with a halt. Fast and sharp accusations soon flew, With her claiming the fire was not her fault. A cheerful laugh filled out ears, Soon we beheld a little Pixie, “You upset mean Drucilla!” She laughed nearly in tears. “You're in Big trouble!” She announced seeming Tricksie. Of the druidess Drucilla, we were told. And her wolves who numbered thirty one. Pixie offered aid before the events were to unfold, To take us away, our encounter done. A tale of the past that none return. From the land of the fae, a mystical lure. As eryn was responsible for the burn, Most of the party refused the tour. “Don't split the party.” I adventurer's rule one. Gaxx didn't care and ran on ahead. Our exhaustion was bad, our eyes weighed a ton. The rest of us headed to bed. Jewel, Wise Jewel, had Eryn trussed. Something we all felt was a must. We awoke surrounded by a pack! Wolves! The Pixie spoke true. The Druidess and Wolves all had out back. And crude Bort angry spoke with a rue. After a fight that we knew we would lose. Drucilla held back and asked us to choose. Kill the dying Eryn with our own hands, Or be killed for burning the lands. Bort did the deed. Drucilla was pleased. Still she insisted on a boon. To spare us under this moon. To find her the lands of the Fae. We had no choice but to obey. In respect for Boris' feelings toward a friend, Eryns body began to bend. And dead Eryn became Boris's male bunny. Something that Shadow really felt funny. A party was held back at the Iron Fist camp. Even Pixie Erika Thistledown attended the affair. While Jewel, Bag headed Boris and four others had a good Bump. We were determined to find out the lair. What happens next will truly set sail! But that will all be a time for another tale. She sets down her lyre. Anxiously awaiting thier reaction.
the purple dragon born claps - IS VEREY GOOD!!!
