Damirin 20 (Mustering): Terror of the Rat King! had its opening night at Madame Maude Lynn's Theater of Thrills.  The play dealt with the real-life incident where a rat king and its horde were battled in Packer's Cave by a party including Juan de Fulmando, Fern the Siegemaster, Jinxi, Yagritte Ratreaper, Ursula Nidonge, and Krendall Moulerbos.  Attending together were Audrea Daleos, Fern the Siegemaster, Juan Silvio-Vagle, Yesenia Silvio-Vagle, Ursula Nidonge, and Yagritte Ratreaper; Fern, Juan, Ursula, and Yagritte, who shared their story, were admitted free.  Ursula sat next to Juan; Krendall, who was not present for the final battle, did not attend the performance.  Wondering if he missed the battle due to fear, Audrea said, "Was he chicken?"  Fern answered, "No, I think he's... human? Well, at least humanoid for sure."
Audrea learned Krendall had missed the final battle because he was drunk.
Juan noticed the program used his old name, Juan de Fulmando, as the name of his character.  Other names were changed for characters as well, including Krendall Moulerbos being replaced by Krusty Moldbox.  Juan said, "It looks like they didn't use anybody's real name who they didn't give free tickets."
The lights went out, and a powerful voice said, "I am the Rat King! I control every rat that crawls and runs and jumps and climbs and bites! They are all mine, and soon Trynser City will be all mine! Bwah hah hah!"  The play only marginally related to what actually happened, and was melodramatic.  There was also Juan's character saying, "By the Gods of the Divine Circle, I, Juan de Fulmando, shall wield the Sword of Might to remove this evil from my sight!"  Eri Snow playing Fern said, "I am Fern the Siegemaster, la Zorra Encapuchada, the Hooded Fox! I am the heroine of Millisymph, inventor of marvels, rescuer of princesses! But I will remove my hood, and call upon the Vulpine Powers to become the Wild Fox! I will destroy you, Rat King!"  Eri then pulled back her hood, went on hands and knees and attacked the Rat King like a wild fox.  While the real rat king had several rat bodies attached at the tail, this one had two heads (each large enough for a real human head to fit into).
The real heroes took bows or curtseyed, then left the theater.  (Citadel's Shadow II adventure 20201121)
Damirin 26 (Lordsday): Fern the Siegemaster, with help from Turgan Tin-Finger, completed her first suit of light plate armor.  Professor Clarence Smartcat said, "My, Fern, you're a natural born armorer!"  Minigallith Atakares said it was very nice, and was proud of Fern for learning something new.
Later that day, Miss Mini tutored Fern the Siegemaster in thaumatology.  Student Chloris Jennigan told Miss Mini that her mother, Gina Atakares, wanted to talk to here; Mini said to send her in.
Gina said, "Mini, Father's Day is coming up, and I need to talk to you about...your father."  Mini said, "My father? But I don't know who my father is."  Gina said, "Well, there's someone assigned to help the returned Crown Prince. Somebody who might be him."  The person assigned to Imperial Crown Prince Roderick Charles Lucan Galderon was the half-elven Sir Beibalar Zinmaer, O.B.D.  Sir Beibalar had had a "close encounter" with Gina about the time she became pregnant.
Sir Beibalar Zinmaer, O.B.D., had long been suspected of being Mini's father, although other possible fathers had the human (quarter-elf) Nalo de Sombrano and the half-elven Sir Lyus Sleyden.  Mini had previously used to magic to determine her father was Sir Lyus' brother; Sir Lyus, who had been left at an orphanage and was adopted, hadn't know until then that he had a brother.  Gina said Sir Beibalar was outside in a carriage.  Mini said she was nervous; Fern agreed to go with her.
Both Fern and Mini saw the knight standing outside the carriage, and both thought he resembled Sir Lyus.  After introductions, Mini cast a spell; the results were that Sir Beibalar was Mini's father.  She called him "Daddy" and hugged him; he hugged back.  (Citadel's Shadow II adventure 20201121)
