*Kyna stays seated and quite least the lizardman or the gnome turn on her. She watches the others with a slightly amused looks. That woman is a bit out her mind to to toy with that walking fountain of venom. The little guy isn't much better. She can't help but let a smile slip past her lips at the over reaction of the lizardman and gnome.*
*Kyna hears the door open over all the ruckus and takes note the new arrival looking a bit on the defensive. She must have heard the noise before she even entered the building. With this thought she stands letting out a sigh and clears her throat to speak*
Will you all just stop! It seems the last memeber has arrived .

Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin.
Kieran stops playing and stows his lute. Anja's who she is, and that's fine, but Karl -- he must have a colossal inferiority complex. Reminds me of Lord Whitemane. Silly old man. Anyhow, the sooner things get going the better, particularly if it means that Sasskasa doesn't eat Karl. Which seems likely. The bard pushes his chair out and turns to look at the newcomer.

First, Sasskasa looks as if he is about to attack mother Anja, but before he can act, Karl stands up and begins to shout at him. Then, the lizardman looks as if he is about to divert his attack to the gnome, but then the night elf yells at him... A murderous look comes over Sasskasa, yet he appears confused as to who to kill first, THEN someone else comes in the room...
Finally, an exasperated lizardman simply sighs and hugs Mother Anja, moves over to a table by himself and puts his head in his hands. For the first moment since he has entered the room, the lizardman falls silent.

"There, that wasn't so bad now, was it? I promise I shant embarrass you again," Anja says with a soft smile, and turns to the newcomer. "Welcome! I'm Mother Anja."
*The older halfling woman seems fairly confident for someone who nearly got her head bitten off by a lizardman, and smiles in a welcoming manner.*

When Sssakkariah enters the tavern she has difficulty getting through the crowd outside that has gathered to see what is up. Some appear to be annoyed that a private party will dampen their evening's activities. When she showed the bouncer the parchment, she was allowed entrance. As she entered the bartender made a sign at the bouncer and he closed and locked the door. Once Sssakkariah has found a seat, the waitress takes her drink order, serves her drink, and finally serves a plate of food like the others. After a short wait the human from earlier comes out onto the stage.
"Ladies and gentlefolk! I give you the bard of Matria! Pheliben!"
He moves off stage as the old man that handed you the parchment takes the stage dressed in the familiar cloak. The cloak hides his features. He then pulls back the hood of the cloak to reveal a middle aged man.
"Welcome my friends! You are to be the first to hear my latest ballad. I have chosen each of you personally. Please listen and all will be revealed to you."
The man then pulls out a mandolin and begins to play a melodic tune. Then he begins his ballad. First it speaks of the port city of Seagarden and the Dreaming Isles. Then there is a verse about a boat trip to the Teeth of Tolri a very dangerous group of islands to the north of Matria. Then it speaks of the captain of the ship. Apparently a saltblood human with excellent navigation skills. The subsequent verses speak of the passengers of the boat. First there is a night elf from the Morningstar Mountains who is a skilled healer. Second there is a trueblood human, the youngest son of a Baron and a budding performer in his own right. Next there is a lizardman from the Caracasa jungle who is a warrior of some skill. Next there is a halfling woman still learning at this late time in her life and her secret. Next there is a gnome just starting as a merchant here in Seagarden and his animal friend. Finally there is a thinblood yuan-ti with mystic arts. Then there is a verse about the dangerous trip and fire from the sky. The next and final verse speaks of terrible beasts on one of the teeth. But then the ballad ends without a formal conclusion.
As the man, apparently Pheliben, ends the ballad abruptly he smiles at you.
"That is all that I have written so far my friends. Should you be interested in more meet here the day after tomorrow at daybreak. You are meant for greatness I am sure. It is your choice however. You may continue to drink and eat for as long as you wish. I hope you return day after tomorrow."
He then tosses out a jacynth to each of you and then leaves the stage. As each of you decides to leave, the bouncer lets you out the door. Food and drink is provided for all that wish it.

Kieran raises an eyebrow. "The day after tomorrow? I'm curious enough to say 'yes,' but there's nothing more you can tell us? Are you just looking for an audience? I mean, surely, you're talented enough not to need to pay your audiences." The bard has noted the characters in the unfinished ballad, but chooses not to say anything about it.

Before the performance:
Sssakkariah enters into a scene of chaos, and merely blinks in bemusement as she watches the gnome and halfling badger the enraged lizardman. When Kyna stands and makes her announcement, she can't help but startle a little. I was expected...? It doesn't help her sense of unease when the bouncer locks the door behind her.
Shooting a nervous smile at the bard and the elven woman-- remember not to show too much teeth!-- Sssakkariah randomly picks an empty table and sits down, only to get up again when Mother Anja introduces herself. Eyeing her a little warily and hoping she didn't demand a hug, Sssakkariah curtseys politely and merely responds with "I am Sssakkariah", trying hard not to hiss too much and only marginally succeeding. She didn't understand why the other races insisted on truncating all the lovely sibilance out of words, but they were a dead giveaway of her heritage and she didn't feel like announcing to the world that she was one of the yuan-ti just yet.
After the performance:
Sssakkariah represses an urge to put her face in her hands and groan. I guess I don't have to worry about maintaining appearances anymore. Of course, that does beg the question how this Pheliben can know all this stuff about us... not even the azirs can scrye like that into the future-- if that indeed is the future. Despite her irritation, Sssakkariah finds herself honestly intrigued by the ballad. The journey sounded dangerous, but the human had said they-- she!-- could be great. She was not so foolish as to believe his words outright, especially since she knew nothing of his motivations, but couldn't quash the small spark of hope that ignited in her heart. Perhaps then my people will acknow-- Stiffening slightly, she crushes that line of thought ruthlessly. They were not her people anymore.
Turning to the rest of the group she declares solemnly, "I am interesssted though I have not yet agreed to get on a boat. I will sssee you all the day after tomorrow?" A little lilt at the end of her statement turns it into a gentle question.

"Surely. I'll be here, at least. I'm Kieran, by the way."
