----------
 
 
I met Honeypot at the last performance of a play at the Sandpoint Theater. Afterwards we went to Cracktooth’s Tavern and met Cyrdak Drokkus. We started talking. I asked innocently if he had a new play. As he said no, I suggested him to read my play. Honeypot said that if he would choose to go with it she would play the role of herself and as she has quite a fame as both an actress and for playing and dancing she would draw a crowd. He agreed to reading it and we enjoyed the rest of the evening. We noted that Cyrdak spent most of the evening around Jasper, while Ameiko avoided him. There was some unknown old grudge.
 
 
Already before midday the day after Cyrdak came looking for me. He found me eating breakfast at the Rusty Dragon. He told me he liked it and would set it up on his theater. We started talking when Honeypot showed up. She soon took over talking to Cyrdak about the play. We started hiring actors and in the next few days. Honeypot and I wondered why Cyrdak wasn't liked in Magnimar. Honeypot asked around and found out that he had been a dancer and was thrown out there after a performance. We started rehearsals and preparations for the play. Cyrdak had some suggestions for changes to the play and thought I should go home and write. Honeypot thought she'd better join me. Together we headed for Magnimar on the way to Turtleback Ferry. Honeypot changed into a snow leopard and I rode Creampuff. She was in a hurry to get there and Creampuff had a hard time keeping up. He was a little heavy, it being early winter and all, but he's supposed to gain some weight for the winter. Perhaps it was a little too much. Along the way I got thinking about how Cyrdak had been thrown out of Magnimar. Perhaps we could get him to be welcome back? We decided to try, and then it would be good to have help so we told Nathaniel and Velicia in Runeforge, using the dwarven stones, that we could use their help in Magnimar. We got there and went through the gates without any waiting. We headed for the Foxglove Townhouse.
 
 
Even though it is quite large it is still a little cozy. We spent the night and the next day I dressed up as Sandeli Foxglove before heading to the theater park. It was called Triodea and was made up of three buildings; the Grand Stage, The Stone Wall and the Aerie. When we got there Honeypot took the lead and went straight in. We got to see the director, Dustin Versad. He was responsible for all three parts. Honeypot started talking about everything singing, dancing and acting and when she kept him occupied I sneaked into his office. I looked through a lot of the papers there but there was more than I cared for. From what I could see I guessed that Dustin Versad was new as director, and that he had put in a lot of money. While searching there I heard Honeypot's playing stopped so I sneaked back out and came just in time to see her reciting from my play. I was amazed of how it came alive when she played it. Versad said that it would be a shame if he wouldn't get to set it up at the Great Stage. I agreed and said that I would like for the play to be played here but with the same players as was working in Sandpoint. He agreed and seemed happy.
 
 
We left him and Honeypot walked around the theaters gathering rumors. She heard of a famous eladrin dancer called Kassiel Iylmrain. He had a reputation of being a diva. He easily made enemies and was promiscuous. It was also said that he uppvaktade both men and women. We were content with the first day of work and I went home to change. Then we visited a few taverns and enjoyed ourselves before calling it for the night.
 
 
Next day we went to see Versad to talk further about the play, but by then he didn't want the play in his theater. We was surprised of the dramatic change, but didn't push the matter. Instead Honeypot went looking for rumors of what could have happened. From Versad's mistress and prompter she heard that he had spent the night with friends. It turned out to be Kassiel Iylmrain. Dressed as my usual Nell I took to the streets to find him and succeeded. He was in a house of ill repute but good reputation. I watched it from across the street. Soon Honeypot got there too following other leads and we heard from Nathaniel and Velicia. They were in town and not that far away and soon we were all gathered.
 
 
Velicia, who have read the play complains about accuracy. I correct her even more, but said the play is better if I write it this way.
 
 
Nathaniel asked Pug of Pug's Contraptions to make more toys for his siblings. He asked for a small mechanical white dragon ant dolls of us for his little brother to follow the music box he got his little sister the last time.
 
 
We discuss what to do
 
 
Idea is to seduce Kassiel and get information out of him
 
 
I suggest Nathaniel seduce him and I keep watch. Nathan didn't agree. To bad. I would have liked to see that.
 
 
Honey disguise as male faun and enters.
 
 
I pretend to be gold digger and hang on his/her arm
 
 
We get in and Honey seduce Kassiel while I search his things
 
 
Not much.
 
 
Velicia found out that Kassiel had been involved with the brotherhood of seven and Ironbriar.
 
 
She also could tell from what I remembered of Versads papers that he was put there by previous associates of brotherhood of seven. He most likely just supplying money.
 
 
We think of what to do with Kassiel
 
 
Velicia:
 
 
We could: -Kill, -No, That's murder, -Intimidate to leave, -Might not work, -Trick to leave, -He would come back too soon, -Get a very good job far away, -He might be too lazy, -Cause him shame to make him leave, -Ok.
 
 
We take time
 
 
I return to Sandpoint and rehearsal with improved script
 
 
We continue working on play
 
 
I tell everyone not to tell Cyrdak but we are trying to get him back into Magnimars cultural circles.
 
 
Later Honeypot learn that Kassier is to dance in Magnimar.
 
 
We decide to shame him by Honeypot dance better that him
 
 
We all get there
 
 
We go to his show
 
 
Honeypot interrupt, but her fans support her.
 
 
I get some of the crowd to cheer "Dance off! Dance off!" by shouting and then sneaking around and shout from other place
 
 
When more want it Kassier tries to get away, but Velicia teleport ikapp him and teleport him onto stage.
 
 
Dancing start tentative as the two tried to size each other
 
 
Then Kassier madke beautiful moves only to be out danced by Honey
 
 
He tried to patch over with hard moves but failed embarrassingly
 
 
Honey is clearly winner
 
 
We returned to Sandpoint
 
 
Time for big premiere
 
 
Several tickets sold to unknown people
 
 
Turns out several important people from Magnimar there.
 
 
Just as I'm about to go on stage I turn to Cyrdak and say:
 
 
"I really hope it's going to be good. Otherwise we will look foolish when performing it in Magnimar."
 
 
He looked at me in disbelief and I nodded. He fainted but as there was a stagehand nearby to catch him I went on stage.
 
 
It was a strange feeling to stand on a stage to actually perform for the first time in my life.
 
 
I started the play: "Old forces of great strength, long forgotten, In fair Perrenland, where we lay our scene..."
 
 
I also finished:
 
"Thus far, with rough and all-unable pen,
 
Our bending author hath pursued the story,
 
In little room confining mighty men,
 
Mangling by starts the full course of their glory.
 
Small time, but in that small most greatly lived
 
These stars of Perrenland: Fortune made their swords;
 
By which many magic items were achieved.
 
They set out on paths encouraged by lords,
 
To far off places, riding their steeds,
 
Meeting both giants and dragons of old,
 
Performing many great heroic deeds.
 
Of which many good stories may be told:
 
Which oft our stage hath shown; and, for their sake,
 
In your fair minds let this acceptance take."
 
 
Silence
 
 
Applauds!
 
 
Continue to party
 
 
Turns out there were many celebrities at the premiere. Not only from Magnimar, but from far reaches.
 
 
There were famous adventurers and most impressively even two visitors from Greyhawk itself. They were from something called the circle of eight and was called Bigby and Tenser. Velicia was extremely impressed. I liked the old men. They were apparently some sort of high ups but still men of the people. They said that the liked the play.
 
 
Ameiko still pissed at Cyrdak
 
 
Velicia tired and asked her.
 
 
It turned out Cyrdak had been dating her evil brother Tsuto.
 
 
The barbarians looked and might not have completely understood everything but they said they liked it.
 
 
Before Xmas
 
 
 
Pamphlet "Of Dragons Defeated."
 
 
 
Printed - give copy to Velicia and Chask Haladan in the Curious Goblin.
 
 
Then it moved to Magnimar where I combined the reading of Chorus with starting to write on the second play.
 
 
It played for months
