```col-mdflexGrow=2.5===# Outline## Players Information In the [[landmark/mixolydian-mode|Mixolydian Mode]], Street of Harps: A rumor that there is a very talented singer among the gypsies, who belongs at the School of Bards - it is generally felt that this singer's talent is being wasted among the gypsies.On [[settlement/trade-island|Trade Island]], on the southern part of Loop Road, a gypsy girl in her mid-teens, dressed in bright colors, sits on a grassy bank with a guitar and a ceramic bowl, and begins to sing. Her voice is clear and sweet as she sings gypsy ballads. A group of people gather to listen, many leaving coins in her bowl. A bard, lute slung over his back, joins the crowd. The concert ends as soon as the girl sees him. She snatches up the guitar and the bowl, spilling some of the coins which she frantically gathers, and quickly departs to the nearby circle of wagons. The bard is prevented from following her by the appearance of two young gypsy males, who make it clear his presence is not desired.## GM's Notes The [[organization/guild-of-entertainers|Guild of Entertainers]] has heard of this very talented singer in the gypsy tribe presently on [[settlement/trade-island|Trade Island]] and would make her very welcome among them at the School of Music, but they have been unable to contact the girl, [[person/dzarina|Dzarina]], directly with their invitation. The player-characters could be asked by one of the high-level bards of Street of Harps to convey their message and persuade her to return with them, if possible. The Guild will pay a small fee if they can deliver the message. More if the girl returns with them. The Guild does not want her kidnapped. She must come of her own free will.The player-characters will find it extremely difficult to talk to [[person/dzarina|Dzarina]] during the day. Her concerts are infrequent and short, and she will take refuge in the safety of the encampment if pressed, or if one of her audience is obviously a bard. Since she is not a Guild member, her concerts for money are illegal, and she and her people are wary for this reason.At night, after [[settlement/the-bridges|The Bridges]] close, the gypsies relax and mingle somewhat with the rest of the Islanders in the nightly holiday, and [[person/dzarina|Dzarina]] may (40%) sing again at one of the campfires on the southern end of the Loop. Since she is not collecting money, she will be less timid, and a player-character using some tact should be able to talk to her alone. The other gypsies will only interfere at her call, although the young men of the tribe will undoubtedly report the conversation to [[person/daruko-ken-ursa|Daruko Ken-Ursa]], their leader, and [[person/dzarina|Dzarina]]'s father.Daruko's mind is preoccupied with the upcoming horse race. He allows [[person/dzarina|Dzarina]] to sing (and take the money) because she lacks talent for household chores and is useless with the horses. He would prefer not to worry about his least favorite daughter and will not take kindly to her causing trouble that distracts him from the race.[[person/dzarina|Dzarina]] is not well treated by her father, who berates her for her clumsiness and fear of horses. She is devoted to her younger sister Anhilde, and shares the usual distrust of non-gypsies. She has also been a nomad all her life, and dislikes the city's noise and closeness. But she loves music, the only thing she's good at. And is frustrated at being barred from the people who might see what she is, rather than what she is not.Whether [[person/dzarina|Dzarina]] accepts the invitation of the Entertainer's Guild depends on how the players deliver it. The result is up to the GM's judgement (see NPC's - Daruko, Dzarina).``````col-md**Start / Locations** - **Key Participants** - ---### World Anvil Metadata**Id:** 32c13829-3219-4c4a-816e-9a30b1271d2e<br>**Entity Type:** Article / plot<br>**Category:** Haven Encounters and Scenarios<br>**Tags:** FCoH-plot```
