I play D&D, and we’re starting a new campaign. This is my new character. Trili Pebbletock is a gnome bard living in Water Deep. She has spent the last 3 decades working a day job as a music teacher and oratory instructor for a noble family with regular side gigs as an entertainer in the evening. Unfortunately, a recent contract dispute has left her unable to work as an instructor anywhere within 50 miles of the city for the next 4 years. (Who ever heard of a non-compete clause?!) Then, to add insult to injury, while she was staying at The Willow Tree Inn, the establishment experienced a massive burglary. She was out entertaining at a local tavern and returned to find just about everything missing from her room, as did most of the other guests! But for her it was particularly devastating because she now has almost nothing to show for the past 3 decades of work! This has been absolutely the worst week of her entire life. Sitting at the bar at The Yawning Portal Tavern, she swears she has half a mind to take up with the next adventuring party that walks in the front door.
