This just in: we've got a new bard!
Welcome, Wilphe
Well hello, and thank you for having me.
Also thank you for the not so subtle hints as to you what his spell selections to include...
This is him so far:
Laurent de Laurentis
A Waterdhavian actor, "Not a bard darling, they play in taverns and common inns you know" and a damn good one. With an ego to match, unfortunalty. He was just another homeless gutter rat in Sembia who made a living as a sneak thief and con artist. One day he tried his luck on the manager/producer of a travelling theatre company from Waterdeep. While not flumuxxed enough to fall for the scam, the producer was impressed enough with the young man's prescence and force of personality to offer him a simple choice:
To be handed over to the city guard after a good kicking for swift justice
or
To sign identures and join his company
That young man disppeared from the streets of Sembia as if he had never been and the new identity of Laurent was born. He has done rather well for himself, making enough money to buy himself out of his indentures and go freelance. A darling of the stage, invited to all the best parties by the nobility (and always happy to give a recital), much in demand for poetry readings, funeral orations and the like.
Ever since he heard of the Fochlucan College he's been wanting to be accepted, he pretty much regards it as his due. However, the entrance requirements are somewhat stringent and he learnt, much to his horror, that not only would he have to master the lyre (he's tone deaf) but he'd have to forsake the city and live in the wilderness to live the life of a druid.
As it stands he's now on the search for a druid to mentor him, and not enjoying the process in the slightest.
