Location

Arthe Hollow Inn, Common Room
The room is filled with jovial conversation, laughter, much toasting and a layer of smoky haze. Guests of all races mingle at the long, low tables. A Halfling holding a very large mug of beer jumps in front of the stone fireplace, lets out a whoop and bursts into a spontaneous song. Daisy Burdock, the inn's waitress, maneuvers adeptly through the crowd carrying a tray of mugs and occasionally glancing out the window. A menu is posted at the archway next to a prominent sign.
You also see an open doorway, some wooden stairs, a polished wooden bar with several things on it, and a wooden menuboard.

Performer

You see Langen Esturi Nilme Iondu'il, Dreamweaver of Fayrin's Rest, an Elven Bard.

Nilme has an oval face with pouting lips, slightly pointed ears and sparkling violet eyes. Her silver-streaked black hair is very long and silky, and is worn in a deceptively careless-looking arrangement of upswept locks held in place by a coralite headband adorned with merlot rubies. She has pale skin and a gracefully slender figure. She is slightly under average height for an Elf.

A shimmering ruby solitaire rests on her forehead, just above her eyes.
Her left ankle has a tattoo of a school of silver-flecked violet dancerfish swimming through a rippling musical staff.

She is wearing a silversteel pendant centered with a sparkling heartstone, a brushed silver locket, an elegant ruby silveress gown adorned with diamonds, a trio of wide icesteel bangles inlaid with faceted merlot rubies, a translucent loveglass band set with a heartstone half note and some stylish sparkly silver slippers affixed with dainty merlot ruby heels.

Log of Event

Arthe Dale, Inn Courtyard
The door of this stout brick building stands open, and warm light pours out invitingly. A large signboard hanging from an awning sways in the breeze, making creaking noises that accompany the sounds of laughter, singing and merriment coming from an open window. A little dirt path curves around toward the rear of the inn. You also see an open stable.
Obvious paths: north, west.

Nilme brushes her lips against Useff's in a loving kiss.
Useff just kissed Nilme.

Days when, winking - flirting, I would seek to win your favor.
Instead you turned to gaze upon a gentle, fair-haired lady,
And I began my traveling, to cure my wounded heart."

(Nilme's fingers gently coax a wistful melody from the lyre, the passage moving the song forward with a delicate crescendo.)

Vaddon gets a mug of chilled icebock from inside an effervescent eddy of honey-hued light captured by a sungold frame.

Nilme sincerely sings in a soprano voice:

"O'er every path that leads me on,
O'er every sandy desert,
O'er every brook, small creek, or shore,
My mind goes back to you."

Memories of when I stood before the newly wedded,
Somehow wishing you both joy, which broke my wounded heart."

Sonatina takes a sip of her ale.

(Nilme concentrates as she counters the melody with a darker, more somber harmony and eloquently shares the words she heard so very long ago.)

Tiarmo gently kisses Emyrose on the forehead.

"O'er every place I find myself,
O'er each location traveled,

When I've at last forgotten you and healed my wounded heart."

"The traveler's story ended thus, with hopefulness assured.
But I couldn't see her past my glass, for the tears that fell and blurred.
I swore that I would tell her tale of lovers thus divided
For love is worth all of the world, even when it's unrequited."

(Nilme carefully cradles her treble viol between her knees, letting its flat back lean against her. Resting the top edge of the scroll on her collarbone, she gives you a small smile. She crosses her left arm across her body, fingers landing intuitively on the strings, while placing the bow gently along her right hand and slipping her middle finger through the horsehair of her bow. She lets her first finger cradle the stick and begins to play softly with an underhanded bowing technique, creating a smooth wash of sound.)

As times I spend alone with you."

Hear you laugh, and see your grin."

"Your hands on my hips as we tango,
Each silent glance that means much more.

These moments make my spirit soar."

"With every lovely memory
And all the tales we've yet to tell,
As my quill touches the page,

In rapid turn displays her deepest heart,

With a happy trilling mrrrrow, a blue-eyed ebony kitten sneaks behind a polished wooden bar, then gets out.

Dromond gazes at Nilme.

Nilme gently sings in a soprano voice:

"The knapsack on the back of the woman is quite small,
In fact, in passing her you wouldn't notice it at all,
She wears it everywhere she goes from morning until night
Then sleeps with it beside her til the first rays of daylight."

Cythra gazes at Nilme.

Nilme respectfully sings in a soprano voice:

"Seeing her upon the street or the market's open space
You'll notice her bright smile, the knapsack hidden in its place,
While you cheerily converse with her, she's painfully aware,
And though she'd never say so, its weight is always there."

Nilme truthfully sings in a soprano voice:

"A burden's lighter when it's shared and it is sometimes hard to carry
But when anyone gets to close to it, she becomes quite wary.
She pulls it tighter to her and distracts with smile and talk,
She'll laugh, make plans to see you, and be merry while you walk."

Emyrose gazes at Nilme.

(Nilme focuses her attention on the harmonies that have been following the story, drawing them out and expanding the theme. As the sound of her dulcimer fades, her voice carries once more.)

Nilme delicately sings in a soprano voice:

"Noone knows what lay within - what secrets it might keep -
Or if the cost of losing it would, for her, be very steep.
But sometimes, late at night, when she's alone, she'll rummage through
She'll waver on releasing it and ponder if that's possible to do."

Anuril raises an eyebrow.

Daerlynn looks at Vixonia and blushes.

Jaelia smiles at Anuril.

Nilme frankly sings in a soprano voice:

"But in the morning, stoically, she'll put it on her back
Knowing that to give it up takes a type of strength she lacks.
She'll go about her day, looking through shops for odds and ends.
Living a full and happy life, sharing joy with all her friends."

Iryta hums to herself.

Emyrose leans to her right slightly.

Nilme quietly sings in a soprano voice:

"We'll never know what precious gift is nestled in its folds
Or what drives her to fiercely protect the secrets that it holds,
But we know the knapsack that she carries will one day fall to dust.
And the winding paths she wanders will end, like all things must."

Iryta takes a sip of her wine.

Blysse leans on Emyrose.

Cythra blinks.

(Nilme's fingers release the notes at the end of the verse, and all that is left is a brief silence before she lifts her head and repeats the first lines of the song.)

Emyrose wraps her arms around Blysse in a loving hug.

Nilme slowly sings in a soprano voice:

"The knapsack on the back of the woman is quite small,
In fact, in passing her you wouldn't notice it at all."

Vaddon studies the faces around him.

Useff smiles at Nilme.

Anuril quietly says to Jaelia, "It's tarts, right? Has to be tarts."

(Nilme waits for a moment for the song to soak into the air. Smiling softly, she drops into a graceful curtsy.)

Vixonia exclaims, "So mysterious!"

Nilme grins.

Vixonia flashes a quick grin.

Daerlynn asks, "Did someone call me a tart?"

Dytt slyly says, "I'd say a picture, or a ring perhaps."

Saslisena applauds.

Stelling takes a sip of his wine.

Iryta chortles softly at some secret joke.

Nilme recites:

"Writing songs for others is something I feel really privileged to do, and through the years I've been asked to write for weddings, anniversaries, and even a proposal. This next song is one of my favorites, both because it was one of the first songs I wrote after joining the guild and because the couple I wrote it for were two very dear friends."

Iryta dimples at Nilme.

Baylix asks, "Who's putting a ring on whom?"

Nilme quietly says, "I will now sing 'A Paragon and his Love'."

Lasaia grins at Nilme.

Daerlynn gazes at Nilme.

(Nilme smiles at you and begins to sing, her voice clear and bright.)

Baylix smiles at Nilme.

Dytt slyly says to Baylix, "Definately not me."

Nilme sings in a soprano voice:

"He sits up to tell her tales,
Of exploits brave and wrongs set right.
He brushes back her silken hair,
And kisses her to sleep each night.
The silent forest breathes his name,
Its trees stretch up to meet his eye,
Its birds grow quiet when he walks
To hear the tune his footsteps sigh."

Lasaia nods to Dytt.

Danyte just took the hand of Jayzlyn and gently kissed the back of it.

Lasaia says to Dytt, "I'll be over in the singles corner."

(Nilme smiles softly, her eyes twinkling in the light.)

Danyte smiles at Jayzlyn.

Vaddon grins at Lasaia.

Nilme sings in a soprano voice:

"She holds tight to both his hands,
When doubt creeps in and tests his soul.
She is there to cheer him on
And push him, onward, toward his goal.
Her hips sway gently as she moves,
Her laugh brings joy to all she meets,
When by chance, she coyly smiles,
Roses envy her blushing cheeks."

Jayzlyn smiles at Danyte.

Baylix stands up.

Baylix stands near Lasaia.

Lasaia leans on Baylix.

Nilme sings in a soprano voice:

"He lifts her sorrow, feels her pain.
His arms relieve all emptiness.
His lips bring her to sweet release,
With naught but just a simple kiss.
The wind is still, the clouds abate,
The world itself on axis slows,
Just to catch a tiny word
That from his lips perchance may flow."

Baylix makes her jester doll wave its tiny hand at Lasaia.

Lasaia leans over and scratches Baylix's back.

Nilme sings in a soprano voice:

"When in the dusk, proud Xibar sets,
And Katamba rises in the sky,
It is her magic bids them move
(And the twinkles set within her eye.)
She knows the man behind the myth,
Accepts as due his well-earned fame.
She is there to soothe his brow,
And tend his wounds from battle's flames."

Dromond shifts his weight.

Daerlynn hums to herself.

Nilme sings in a soprano voice:

"He looks with longing in his eye,
And smiles at her with mischief great.
He steals a kiss with quiet stealth,
And snuggles closely when it's late.
O'er ages plenty, men have come,
With talent, skill and handsomeness,
But he stands out among them all,
His strength reigned in by gentleness."

Anuril takes a sip of his wine.

Iryta smiles at Nilme, revealing the dimples in her cheeks.

Iryta takes a sip of her wine.

Nilme sings in a soprano voice:

"She lays the path that he will walk
She sees the boy inside the man.
She can bring to HIM the joy,
She sees him bring to all he can.
Her kindness - known both far and wide
Her voice like birds within the woods,
Her eyes like pools of shimmering light,
She embodies all that counts as good."

Baylix shakes her head as if clearing it.

Nilme sings in a soprano voice:

"He comes home to sweep her up,
In arms that missed her smile and form,
He gazes softly in her eyes,
And kisses her with feelings warm.
His bow is swift, his arrows true,
His chivalry is quite renowned.
His eye for beauty quite refined,
When faced with fools, patience abounds."

Daerlynn gazes at Lasaia.

Ears tilted forward, Vixonia curls her tail around Ishimmer's waist loosely.

Emyrose cocks her head at Nilme.

Nilme sings in a soprano voice:

"She gives him strength when he is weak,
When foes attack from ev'ry side.
It's her small hand that brushes back
The tears he cannot keep inside.
Her flawless skin is smooth and bright,
With inner beauty shining through,
That brings to her a glow unmatched,
By other ladies' normal hues."

Ishimmer nibbles on Vixonia's ear playfully.

(Nilme's voice trills softly and she continues the song with a distant look in her eye.)

Nilme sings in a soprano voice:

"She places all her trust in him,
His trust in her - a treasure's worth.
Her smile lights up his daily life.
He fills her life with gentle mirth.
They walk together in the sun,
Through rain, strong wind, and blizzard cold.
They gaze into each other's eyes,
And to each other, tightly hold."

Cythra grins at Nilme.

Ishimmer chuckles.

Nilme sings in a soprano voice:

"The Paragon, and She, his love,
Will forever happy be,
May their joy bless you and yours,
And their happiness inspire thee."

Dytt bows to Nilme.

Iryta asks, "You fear it?"

"Now Jack's been a pirate for many a year. He's sailed with the best - rode the waves without fear.
But there's one thing that makes the lad quiver and hide, and that's jolly old Mary, Jack's salty old bride!

Well, Mary has known that her man was a snake, a debauched, drunken sot and a nasty old rake.
How her parents would weep if they'd lived long to see the insulting, mean rotter Jack'd turned out to be!"

Iryta gets some Burdock's ale from atop a polished wooden bar.

Iryta holds some Burdock's ale high into the air for all to see.

A tear runs down Nilme's face.

Nilme dramatically wipes a tear from her eye.

Nilme disdainfully sings in a soprano voice:

"Jack went to sea, with a mighty fine crew, leaving poor Mary home to mutter and stew,
'Bout the years that she'd laboured to provide a fine home, while that bastage went to sea to pillage and roam!

Jack arrived back, peg leg moving REAL slow, duffel bag dragging. He didn't want to go
Just to listen to Mary who'd harp ON and ON about where he had been and how long he'd been gone!"

Emyrose chuckles.

Nilme paces back and forth.

Nilme sighs.

Nilme somberly sings in a soprano voice:

"The first thing Jack noticed was the cottage all dark. Not a lantern was lit. There was nary a spark.
No warm light poured forth. No smoke rose from the flue. So Jack took a deep breath while anxiety grew.

His hand shook, his heart beat a tune in his chest. In all of their years, Mary'd not took a rest
From screeching and hollering - loud as she could about keelhauling pirates who'd been up to no good!"

Cythra says, "Now we know why pirates say, arrrgghh."

Tiarmo snickers.

Atvus nods to Zalinyar.

Ishimmer strikes a heroic pose.

Emyrose raises an eyebrow.

Nilme gasps a quick breath in fear and surprise!

Nilme mysteriously sings in a soprano voice:

"His torch shone, but light fell on a big empty room. The chairs were all gone - it was still as a tomb.
Jack paced through the house, but found nothing but dust.

What had happened to Mary??
Find out he must!

Well, while Jackie pondered, far away on a beach sat Mary and Armand, from the King's mighty fleet!
They snuggled and cooed, kissed while passing the time, as they waited for snacks and flagons of wine."

Jaelia gasps at Nilme!

Baylix pets a blue-eyed ebony kitten. The ebony kitten nips at her fingers playfully.

Jaelia gasps!

Cythra blinks.

Emyrose laughs!

Jaelia covers her mouth with her hand.

Nilme smirks.

Nilme warningly sings in a soprano voice:

"What Jack never learned applies to us, too. If you don't treat your love well, your love won't be true!
You will end up with pub food for years without end, and that mangy ole parrot will be your sole friend!

And, good friends, one more lesson to learn from this song: If your pirate comes back, but doesn't stay long,
And upon each return sits all day and drinks beer, and the kids 'aven't seen him in many a year..."

Vixonia is giggling at Nilme.

Vaddon smiles at Jaelia.

Saslisena gasps!

Saslisena covers her ears with her hands.

"Go find a good man with strong muscles and grace, a very tight bottom and a handsome young face,
Leave your sad pirate to parrots and treasure, and run off with someone who will love without measure!"

Iryta begins chortling at Lasaia.

Knowing that I'm seeing one of nature's wondrous gifts."

Nilme smiles.

To soak in the quiet beauty of the stars the daylight hides.

Clouds float by the waxing moon, casting shadows as they pass."

While savoring each moment, roisaen reach the sleepy hours."

"In the peaceful comfort of our home, the noise of the day behind
Has faded with the evening, giving way to something fine.
Tomorrow's noise will greet us with the dawning of the day
But for now we'll go to sleep and let the silence have its say."

(Nilme, as the last word leaves her lips, positions her bow against the strings. Barely audible, she reprises the opening passage, letting the low tone of the final note carry. She stands gracefully for only a moment before dropping into a deep curtsy.)

Nilme gently sets a pozumshi lyra viol into her musician's case.

Nilme tucks the bow in a pocket on the inner side of her musician's case.

Nilme eagerly sings in a soprano voice:

"I smiled broadly to the barkeep
And offered up my empty flask.
He said no, but then he chuckled.
Choose your drink before you ask!"

Vixonia is now singing chorus with Nilme.

Nilme frowns and shakes her head in exasperation, resting her face in the palm of her hand.

(Nilme grins sheepishly. Quietly she says, "Yeahhhh, that would probably help." and begins moving her fingers skillfully over the ivory buttons, adding a pleasing harmony.)

Nilme seriously sings in a soprano voice:

"I read the menu once again,
Intently focused on my quest
To choose a drink to satisfy
But wondered which was truly best."

A chorus of voices join with Nilme's leading soprano as she sings:
