The Thirsty Kraken
ooc: I am going to just go through her performance since everyone is here for the conversation that follows, the performance was just background info
Lady Mirabelle and her band took to the stage at The Thirsty Kraken to entertain the rowdy patrons with their melodious tunes. The Lady, a fair maiden with golden locks and a voice that could enchant any heart, sang of tales of heroes and villains, of knights and maidens fair. Her band, consisting of a lute player, a drummer, and a flutist, accompanied her with their own musical prowess, delighting the crowd with their harmonies. As the night progressed, Lady Mirabelle sang of battles fought and lost, of love won and lost, and of mythical beasts that roamed the land. One of her songs was about a brave paladin who stood tall against a fierce dragon, wielding his sword with courage and skill, and ultimately emerging victorious in his quest. Her voice rose with emotion as she sang of the paladin's triumph, and the crowd was enraptured by her tale. The patrons of The Thirsty Kraken cheered and clapped at the end of each song, and many raised their mugs in salute to Lady Mirabelle and her band. As the night drew to a close, the band bid the crowd farewell and took their leave of the stage.
As Lady Mirabelle and her band finished their performance, the respectable guests and tourists began to depart from the Thirsty Kraken. In their place, a rougher crowd of seedy-looking patrons began to trickle in, seeking to partake in the rowdier side of the tavern's atmosphere. The dim lighting and smoky interior of the establishment added to the atmosphere, with the large fireplace casting flickering shadows across the rough-hewn timber walls.
Adriel shifted his gaze from the merrymakers and instead scanned the room with a sharp eye. His purposeful demeanor and no-nonsense attitude caught the attention of those who had been previously lounging about. Pulling his table to face the crowd, he cleared his throat and spoke in a commanding voice. "Hear ye, hear ye! Attention, adventurers! I am Adriel, responsible for handling Lord Vandergathen's affairs, and I am here to discuss a matter of great importance. His lordship is offering a generous reward for the recovery of some stolen goods, and I am seeking those brave enough to take on the task. Come forth if you are interested, and let us discuss the details."
