It can be as long as you want   Inu D.: nice   Blair: (Who wants to go first?)   Jackie: Propaganda you'll play that latest paladin?   Akis G.: y   Jackie: DM said game will start in driftwood tavern. I'll say that my bard is starting in that tavern. He has been staying in the tavern since the last tendays and performing at busiest hours. As there's rooms for renting. Propaganda wanna run a tavern encounter for us if all characters meets there?   Chloe: My character probably would have just arrived at the tavern, resting before trying to work on her knitting and selling them for money   Inu D.: My druid "visited" couple taverns before driftwood tavern and now resting on bench under table surrounded by several empty bottles   Ardat L.: My character just came from a trip in the wilds to take a rest there and see if she can earn some coin   Jackie: Propaganda? Introduce your character?   Akis G.: well i was just passing by was hungry so i went there to eat something and prolly sell some mats i found on my way there   Jackie: Okay   Gilderoy Mellowvoice is performing on the tavern. A young lad dressed in troubadour costume, dancing above a tavern table as he sings songs with his melodical voice. And taking breaks to drink something between songs. When he climbs over a table again, he says. "Okay folks, one last song to finish the night. Mellowvoice has to rest or it won't stay as mellow."   Gilderoy Mellowvoice takes a deep breath and turns to people with a smile. Then starts a song as nasty as others. "There once was a Red Wizard of Thay, who would polish his wand every fucking day..."   Blair tries to hum along while knitting   Little listens bard suffering from headache, checks bottles and founds that they are empty, closes her eyes   Fistula sticks cloth in her ears so she can check her gear in piece   Akis G. shakes his head and keeps eating   Gilderoy Mellowvoice jumping from table to table as he sings, accidentally knocking over people's drinks and plates. Finally coming to Blair's table. "...Oiling up the shaft, working a wizardly craft..."   Blair: "Oh my!"   Blair casts light on a needle and waves it around to the beat   Little sits on bench, she looks angry and hisses   Little checks one of rolling on table bottles and drinks rest   Fistula puts all her gear on the table and starts to clean it   Akis G. raises his eyebrow looking at the bard whos trying to disturb his meal   Gilderoy Mellowvoice finally coming to the last part of the song, he decides to end it with strong bass opera voice. "..He conjured a happy spraaaaaaaaaAAAiiiEE! What the hell is that?!" his voice suddenly turning into a soprano and ruining it all as he looks at the glowing thing in Blair's hand.   Blair chuckles, "It's a glowstick!"   Little looks at confused bard and person with glowing thing, her mood become better   Blair still smiling cheerfully "Never seen a wizard before?"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice gives a quick salute to the listeners (or ignorers) in tavern and jumps down from table to draw himself a chair next to Blair as he blurts a chuckle. "Heh, silly thing. Of course I know that it's a glowshtick. But you certainly never seen or heard Gilderoy Mellowvoice before."   Blair: "I have not"     Gilderoy Mellowvoice looks clearly upset but just throws a silent glare at the wizard. "Well, I.. suppose I can forgive you. Wizards are not the types that know how to have fun."   Blair: "Oh? And what kind of 'fun' are you talking about?"

"The ones that doesn't include wizard wands... or Red wizards."   Blair laughs out loud, "I certainly do know how to have fun, thank you very much"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice leans against his chair and nonchalantly kicks up his boots against the edge of table and reaching for his flute as he grins. "Knitting useless things with fancy glowing sticks in a tavern? Only if Gilderoy Mellowvoice is there!"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice: (What is the knitting?)   Blair: (Looks like a half-done red sweater)   Little comes to Glideroy and sits near him "I never heard about you too"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice looks up and down at the new person as he rolls the flute between his hands   Gilderoy Mellowvoice: (What is Little wearing?)   Little:(traveling cloth and leather armor) (tabaxi) *traveller's   Gilderoy Mellowvoice now clearly annoyed as one more declaring against him. "I.. uh, was on a trip. I come from south. It's normal if you never heard of me."   Blair: "I am sorry for the confusion, but I have not heard you sing. But I have heard of you"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice slowly driving his flute to his lips, he sings a short, quick magical tune (Prestidigitation) to make a white mark appear over the sweater Blair was knitting, hoping to impress wizard at her own work. "There. Signed by a celebrity. Now it's worth triple of it's old cost."   Blair chuckles "How kind"   Little smiles wide "I came from south too, but didn't heard you earlier, maybe you can tell us something really interesting" shows gold coin   Gilderoy Mellowvoice throws an arm behind chair as he nods and chuckles smugly. "Heh, I don't like to brag, but I have a lot of talents. When I was a kid, alot of wizardry academy begged at our door. They wanted me. But I knew that being closed inside boring towers, among huge books, not my destiny."   Blair: "So you have some mastery of the arcane then?"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice noticing the gold coin. "Well, I can tell you the story of Gilderoy. The real Gilderoy. Not the amazing, star, under the spot lights. The true one."   Blair: "And how can we be sure you would be telling the whole truth?"   Little: mhm, sounds interesting, if it will worth this coin - you will receive it/ But I heard some stories about it earlier   Gilderoy Mellowvoice pulling his legs off the table and sitting right for a moment. "How can you think this body can contain such vile feelings such as lying?"   Blair smiles "Very easily, actually. But I shall humor you"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice focusing this attention to the candle on the table now. He reaches over to pull it in front of him. And starts singing to the flame, in same tune as he did to your sweater, with his voice accompanied with arm gestures this time. And as he sings, faint illusions appears within the flames to play out the story   Gilderoy Mellowvoice: Have you heard of Gilderoy the Bold He conquered noble Sally's untouched fold Her daddy's anger was at tenfold For her virginity worth thousands of gold   Blair: "Oh boy"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice: Then whole town then was in a shock When her fiancee appeared in dock The daddy wanted Gilderoy's cock Severed and then between buttock   Little smiles curiously looking at illusions and bard's hands   Gilderoy Mellowvoice blows out the candle as he ends the song. "Well, that's the truth. People might have had hunters after them. I have hunters too. But they hunt, different sort of head."   Blair: "So... what you're saying is that your dick is at least worth its weight in gold?"   Little laughs and places coin near bard "here, I hope you will save your head"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice nervously rolling the flute in his hand as he eyes the wizard, with pure seriousness now. "Well, it's attached to me would be worth more"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice quietly adds the coin to his pouch   Blair: "That noble, you wouldn't happen to know which house they came from would you?"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice:What would you do if I did?   Blair smirks and says nothing   Gilderoy Mellowvoice slowly leaning towards the side of Little to whisper into her ear. "Don't trust this one..."   Little nods   Little curiously looks at wizard "maybe you have interesting story too?"   Blair: "Oh no I do not. I'm simply just a wandering weaver looking to make some coin"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice looks at her with distrust. "An odd profession for a wizard"

"..I wonder... if she shaves?"   Blair: "I am not afraid to strike you down where you sit if you continue with that line of thought"   Little: (here)   Gilderoy Mellowvoice: Don't you ever disturb me in my process of creation! Do you think these masterpieces are easy to create?   Little laughs "why I never drinked with bards?"   Blair: "Sally, was it? Auburn hair, fair skin, short and lithe? Am I thinking of the correct one or am I just spouting nonsense?"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice: What?   Blair: "Oh, I'm just thinking of nobles that may have that name. Don't mind me"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice looking at the sweater with his signature and then back at her repeatedly as a sweat runs down from his face. "You... sell those sweaters to nobles or something?"   Blair: "Me? Oh no no no, my wares are simply not up to standard for nobility" "But they do like to gossip a lot" "And don't worry, your little signature isn't permanent if I recognize that spell correctly"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice chuckling a bit "Short and lithe? Sally was twice my size. Both in height and weight. I presume which is also why her father was angry when the engagement was broken."   Blair: "Well, the nobility does like to exaggerate themselves and their kin, no?"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice nodding with a convinced face that agrees. "Well, we can say that, yes."   Gilderoy Mellowvoice nudging Little "I know nobility so well. Mind you"   Blair: "Oh? How well?"   Little: I not often saw nobles, prefer more simple persons   Gilderoy Mellowvoice clears his throat. "Well, my nasty priest and stupid peasant act is among their favourite. But don't say that around here."   Blair mutters under her breath "So I've heard..."   Gilderoy Mellowvoice: Poor people take priesthood and poverty way too serious...   Little: if you will buy us some vine - I will forget your story   Gilderoy Mellowvoice blinks as he stares at the cat woman   Little: they don't want to sell it to me anymore   Gilderoy Mellowvoice:Are you an angry drinker?   Little: nope, but my little friend become really playful   Gilderoy Mellowvoice whispering "Your... little friend?"   Little nods "yup, but she aren't here and I will not give wine to her anymore"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice nods understandingly and he makes crazy hand gesture while looking at Blair when he catches Little not looking. And eventually stands up to pat her on shoulder. "Don't worry lady. Two wines coming for you two. I'll have to end this night here I am afraid. I need my beauty sleep."   Blair casts message to Gilderoy "My name is Blair, by the way. Was nice to meet you"   Gilderoy Mellowvoice salutes her with his fancy plumage hat and makes his way towards the barkeeper. Sliding four silver coin to his way and ordering two goblet of wine to the table and taking the stairs to return to his room.   Blair: "That was... interesting"   Little sighs "pity, I thought to drink with him, will you drink with me?" offers one of goblets   Blair takes it and clinks it with hers   Little:cheers   Blair: "Cheers" downs it   Little drinks "By the way, people call me Little and what’s your name?"   Blair: "I am Blair" "So what are you doing in this town?"   Little: nice to meet you, Blair. right now I am drinking with you   Blair chuckles "Fair enough"   Little: I heard, that I can find Arrhenish in this town, but I didn't
