A Star is Born

I have agreed to take over the lead part of Clavides in the Mournhold Players' production of "The Horror of Castle Xyr." I have been provided with a copy of the script, and have a mere two minutes to memorize my lines before I have to report to Meryn for the play.

I did not return to Meryn in time. He will undoubtedly be upset with me.

I have returned to Meryn, ready to perform my role in the play.

I have successfully defended myself from an assassin who assaulted me in the middle of my performance! The play obviously cannot go on. Perhaps I should speak with Meryn about what just happened.

Meryn Othralas wanted me to perform with the Mournhold Players, but I turned him down. I never was that much of an actor.

Meryn Othralas explained that I was used as a decoy for the assassin to protect their lead actor. I am not happy about this treatment, but Meryn did reward me, commensurate with my performance.

I agreed to star in the Mournhold Player's production of "The Horror of Castle Xyr," but changed my mind at the last minute and walked off right as the play was starting. I'm sure Meryn will not be happy.

Meryn Othralas says Gureryne Selvilo, the leading lady, is dead, so there won't be any play today.
