Message: <blockquote data-quote="John Dallman" data-source="post: 8670254" data-attributes="member: 6999616">It's taken a bit of work to set that up. Decades of real time ago, a bard character of mine staged opera productions, including creating a cycle of four operas based on the story of Beren and Lúthien, which is part of Tolkien's The Silmarillion. He founded a bardic university in the world of Aelos, and since then has mostly been in retirement. Last year the Monday night party, exploring "The Caverns of Adamant" in the world of Avalon, met a most unusual harpy, Elise. She's highly intelligent, well-mannered and generally a rather nice person. She is regarded as a monster by most people she meets, so she's pretty shy. She enjoyed perching on the roofs of opera houses and listening to the music, but when the orbital strikes destroyed most of the cities of Avalon, she could not do that any more. She asked us if there were any opera houses in accessible other worlds. The character I'm playing in that campaign has no connection with the bardic university, but was willing to do some investigating. During 2022, the party have been up and down the road that passes closest to the Caverns at least five times, but have always been in too much of a hurry to take a day off to climb the hills to get there and tell Elise. Tonight we actually got to do that. She decided to go to the university, rather than either of the commercial opera houses, and I'm rather pleased this has happened by fair means.</blockquote>
