Having gained some lessons and skill, it's time to go!
Even with a reasonable weapon, no less green, I know.

Now to meet the characters to share in this tale.
(Some, randome encounters after I left Lodi's Vale)

In Flagrante Delieto, Sancero Velprece, First Chair Mandolin!
Today he will be featuring as our SECOND violin.
Masterful sentinel Mieaga, reincarnate TROLL!
An anonimous stranger, I took for a 'stroll'.
Aechie the Monk, truly a friend.
A misfortunate student, who (hopefully) doesn't set a trend.
Two druids, bringing their bounty in.
And a few others, I don't know where to begin...

Sancero, generous and always kind of heart.
He was a big help to give me a good start.
Has all the bravoure and bravado of a true bard.
Passed out, trying to yell too much (so not all too smart).
But what would you expect with his way for life?
Staying in the city and moves about by taking a drive.
Pampered like that, is sure to soften.
His protoge should drag him out of there more often.

Aechie, my good friend and a great inspiration,
Joyous company and a big help, exploring this nation.
When we were chasing butterflies, it was a real blast!
I can't even count how often I got lost.
Crossing the country and just having fun.
Rat hunts in the city, which I never would've done.
Whether it's Ashtan, Shallam or Delos, I say;
Why do these places have to be so confusing anyway!?

Once in Shallam ran into Arishy, who got a little stuck.
Chased around by a thief. Well, he had some hard luck.
Slipped me a letter with all his money to keep safe.
I split from the scene (yeah, that wasn't too brave)

Had some students. Bards whom I taught in the arts.
A couple of them gave me some frightful starts.
Demonstrated one, what a flourish can do.
He ran around like and idiot for a good time too.
Some students were a wonder, teachers beware!
They learned more than I knew (life is unfair)
But should one think of teaching a class.
Make sure that you have patience en mass.

Upon an occasion, I was hailed by someone.
Asking me whether could help himl have something done.
Somewhere quiet and private, not much will I say.
After some pleasure for him, with money I walked away.

In the hills somehwere, there in a glade...
Stumbled upon two druids, after I sang my morning aubade.
A surly old dwarf, and a friendly lass.
Had my vials refilled, refreshing my stash.

Mieaga, quaint and friend of curious sort.
Didn't start out as a troll (Oh Lord).
Had to show him to the World Tree.
His choice of reincarnation? Well, I'll be.

Lieda Navarne and Turain Shu'in at the Pachacacha River!
Met them when I had overcome some recent shivers.
Fishing on the banks and catching quite a bit.
(Hope someday I'll catch as much as they did.)

There have been others, colorful figures all.
Such as the Duckies and... well, I'll be fair;
I'm not good with names and forgot a few.
Signiing off now, Arinyes, Traveling Bard, Extraordinair.

Formed out of a loose compilation of notes from Arinyes' portfolio.
Joyous company and a big help, exploring this nation,
An anonimous stranger, I took for a 'stroll'
