The Festival of Nerris

The Fey Square is repurposed into a stage, many vendors take carts with fun items to sell down there for the party. Glowing rings and other strange glowing objects are for sale to guests. The festival will be opened by Dardrak Fadan who will hand the reins over to Anin for the opening act. Anin will then introduce Garrick who will perform the main act. Then some acrobats he hired will perform to close.

## Arrival

As you arrive at the Fey square the cobblestone square is illuminated by dozens of sparkling floating globes the float around the square. Children are running around chase some of them and trying to jump high enough to catch them. Towards the docks you can hear the faint sound of the sea crashing against the docks and see the waves sparkling against the floating globs. The square is filled with people and tables. Some tables have dozens of interesting foods and drinks to sample all offered for free. You notice there is a donations box near the hastily constructed stage in the northeastern corner where the wealthy can donate towards next years festival. There are also tons of vendors some with games and some selling interesting oddities to the attendees.

## Dardrak's Speeches

**Introduction:** Welcome everyone to the festival of Nerris! Nerris as many of you know is the god of fun and games. He preaches that people should seek to enjoy life. If I can help people accomplish that for even one night then it is my honor to do so. Before we continue I would like to ask if we could have a moment of silence for the friends who were here last year but not this year thanks to the twisted punishers. *A moment of silence.* You will be missed. Now on a lighter note to open the festival I have procured for you all so entertainment. Opening the show we have Anin Day a performer from far off Valeria. He will be followed up by the impressive skills of the legendary Garrick Zenwhyl our very own savior from the theatre company and as always I have procured the Acrobats of Dhug Molduhr to close the show. As the performances happen feel free to drink, eat and have a good time, play a prank or two tonight is a night of celebration and fun so I forbid anyone from being too serious. So without further a due I would like to introduce Mr. Anin Day the performer from far off Valeria!

**Post show Performances:** How about that people! Weren't they fantastic! Get them a drink! *You are each brought a tankard of ale.* Now enjoy the games, the food, the drink and the fun! Don't forget to thank your fantastic performers Garrick Zenwhyl, the Dhug Molduhr Acrobats, and most importantly Anin Day for their fantastic performances! In the name of Nerris have a good time tonight! There is a corous of cheers for each of you and the crowd breaks moving to tables and games. What would you all like to do?

## Anin's Act

As Anin steps up to the stage he gives a bow and begins to perform a variation of Garrick's Solo performance from a few nights before of the Savior's Triumph but as he finishes his performance he begins to recite poetry from the Ka Week Ed Reb and as he does little lights begin to pop up around him glowing with enticing light and the beautiful performance fills each of you with great wonder as you look on almost transfixed by his moving performance of this poetry. In fact as you watch this performance from the side stage you are meant to enter from in moments Garrick you are transfixed with the power and wisdom Anin commands from the audience, they are enthralled, make a wisdom saving throw.

(Both Dardrak and the audience member fail)

Garrick you are charmed by Anin. While charmed in this way, you idolizes him Garrick, you speaks glowingly of him to anyone you speak to, and you hinder anyone who opposes him. You are unaware this charm has taken place.

As Anin finishes the poem he bows and the lights slowly fade away. He then introduces Garrick who takes the stage.

## Garrick's Act

Garrick will perform a fairy tale about a tortle who is trying to discover the meaning of life. He travels the world searching for its secrets. Everywhere he goes he meets interesting people with interesting magics. On his journey he learns that whatever the meaning of life is everyone should live it to its fullest because so many people he meets on his journey are sad because they are too scared to act on what they want.

## Acrobats

Closing the show are a group of halfling women who perform a dance filled with impressive contortion of their bodies. They fling each other around through hoops of flame and catch each other to rounds of applause. It is the medieval equivalent of Circuss Ole.
