Tinglebeard's Troupe!

[Grokk]

Two identical notices are placed in Troll's Bane, one on the library wall and one outside the tavern.

Attention good people of Troll's Bane!

I, renowned actor, writer, musician and director extraordinaire, Puck Tinglebeard, am establishing a theatrical company right here in your blessed town. After many years of performing for royalty and nobles on the finest stages throughout Illarion, I have decided to return to my roots and grace you all, the ordinary people. My first play is currently under construction and shall be ready for viewing within the coming weeks. It shall be confronting, depressing, intimidating and joyful, all at the same time. Usually, such a piece would be reserved for my peers, however I believe that Troll's Bane is more than ready to handle such a production.

While the performance is mainly an individual interpretive piece, I am in need of a handful of talented, promising actors to work with. Not only will you have a part in my upcoming play, but you shall also become one of the first members of Tinglebeard's Troupe. You shall be my clay, I shall be your sculptor. Send me a letter and we can organise an audition.

Unfortunately, I was unable to transport my extensive wardrobe to the island and, as such, am rather low on props and costumes. Anyone who is willing to donate old, used clothing or anything else to the Troupe, please contact me. If someone is willing to provide us with discounted products, I would also be grateful to hear from you.

Yours,
Puck Tinglebeard.
Actor, musician, singer, writer, director, lover.

A Dwarf places new notices around Troll's Bane, covering up those already there. One of the notices also appears in Tol Vanima.

Greetings my friends,

I had hoped this message would announce the debut of my latest piece in but three dwarven days, along with the public auditions that were to accompany it. Alas, it does not. Due to the injuries I have sustained as a result of Orioli's unprovoked assault, regrettably, I must instead announce the performance's indefinite postponement.

I did not expect to find those of such low character as to threaten and attack an unarmed actor, with no reason to do so. Those that passed by while I was in much pain did nothing to help. Perhaps I was misguided in bringing my talents to these shores. Once my bruises and cuts have healed and I have completely recovered from my experience, I shall reconsider my performance, and the future of the troupe and, indeed, theatre itself in Troll's Bane.

Thank you kindly to the few residents of Troll's Bane who have generously donated to my troupe, we greatly appreciate it. Please get in contact with me if you wish to make a donation, it need not be money, or if you wish for a private audition.

Yours,
Puck Tinglebeard.
Actor. Writer. Musician.
