Ha! Hello, hello, hello. Let me see... where to begin. Probably with your
drink. You sure you want the minty stuff? It's a refresher but I wouldn't spend
all night with it. Like the redhead over there in the alcove. Just what I hear.
No personal experience.

So yeah, I got given the key to that cabinet behind the bar with these bottles
after making a few especially complicated drinks. Bit of a trope, eh? To get to
do the neat thing, you've got to do neat stuff without the neat thing itself.
Then you get the neat thing! Anyway, I'm making drinks for a while and then the
High Herald passes. We all have a few kelp beers about it. Somber stuff.

Then I'm told there's a High Herald shaped hole to fill. And I'm the size of
it. So I fill it. All the while I'm caught in this intrigue and that intrigue
under the thumb of a paranoid thief named Tago, who runs Galadon by
blackballing every new member except yours truly since he thinks I'm feckless
and not after his perch.

I was of course. I spent more gold putting young thieves through that guildhall
that I've ever made in honest work and one after another, Tago thinks, 'oh this
is the one who is coming after me, I'll blackball them before they can do it'
and then suddenly, without warning, poof! No more Tago. No note. No grand exit.
No great adventure. No riding into the sunset... just gone.

So that leaves one pink-haired elf standing. I called a vote, no one else is
even a member, and tada here I am. A Kingpin and a High Herald. So those are
the haps, I suppose.

What's new with you?
