[Namron] CALLING ALL PERFORMING ARTISANS

[Michael Coone]

well i sing like a frog in the beak of seagull ... but i do have some story
telling experience ... the problem is i am planing on doing armoring demos
for med fair . ...

one thing we did that had great response before at public demos ...  is one
knight( or just another bard in armor ) .. takes a bard around in very
loose (long chained)shackles so they can preform .. and the knight calls
out form time to time that this bard has upset the king or stolen bread or
so on ..... and now must entertain the crowds as his tax ....the bard
preforms ..... then go on to say ... if you liked or hated the performance
drop by the embassy.... to cast your vote for the fate of the bard (pardon
or beheaded...they all get pardons). .. this also started a small bardic
war to see who could get the most votes .... no prizes or anything .....but
see who snagged the most pleas for freedom votes ... the following year we
made a scrolls pardoning the bards..... gave copy to knight and bard ...as
part of a demo court event at set times each day .... then the bard would
steel some bread  or stick out tongue at king / baron and be told he has 24
hours to pay off debt again...after a short chase the bard is taken away in
shackles again ..... makes for some action in court and keeps the crowd
cheering for knights or bards .... also makes it easier when you have
partner in crime or bardic ... i can make some shackles for this but want
them back when done .... scarey thing is they sell .... and will sell them
off later ...not at med fair .....
