Kythorn 30th, 1387DR Year of the Emerald Ermine - Marsember:
Jarner Kern took a long pull from his tankard. He was not sure what it was he was drinking. A sly special, he rememebered while savouring the taste of the beverage. He rubbed his face a moment, looking around the tavern. He had heard rumours that Ardaan the Sly, the enigmatic owner of the Learing Lecher, had returned after many years of travelling across fearun for business reasons. After finishing his shift, Jarner's throat cried for the taste of ale, and he figured he would go and see if the rumours where true. Ardaan was nowhere to be seen but there was a collection of the realms bards and adventurers drinking and talking. The woman with the purple and green outfits had swapped her outfit for an orange one. She seemed to be directing the entertainment.
The bards took it in turns, taking the floor near the piano before performing. Jarner shook his head, he never understood the bardic lifestyle. It seemed far to flamboyant for his like, what was wrong with pulling rope in the canals? Real man's work. After each bard played, another one would take their place and begin their performance. After a couple of performances had happened, the rumour was proven to be true. Ardaan appeared from the back rooms, he smiled to those around and took a moment to speak to them all. He introduced himself, he introduced the woman who usually wore purple and green - Sendai Addams, his new house bard. He then smiled and departed.
Jarner blinked in surprise, nearly dropping his Sly Special, Lady Joysil Ambrur had just arrived. What was she doing so far away from Haelithtorntowers? She was rarely seen around Marsember, especially not in the canals of Marsember. Jarner scratched his head. He did remember some rumours that Lady Ambrur was running a bardic event in Arabel and not Marsember. He shook his head, why would she not want to run something in Marsember? She seemed to know some of the other punters. At least, she went to the sit with them. After a few more performances, she took to the stage herself and her voice was... something else. She sung with a more classical style than some of the other bards.
Jarner's ear twitched, Ardaan had appeared and he had started talking again. Jarner quirked an inquisitive eyebrow, Ardaan mentioned that he was looking for adventurers to do some work for him. What work could that be?
