Magefaire 1354 Cluster P

The Hand Behind the Mirror (P1)

Mercenary Company • Athkatla, Amn

• A plain black-and-grey striped tent. On either side of the entrance is a tall mirror which once a minute or so clouds over and then a hand suddenly impacts the inside of the mirror's glass with an open palm and an audible thud before it fades away again. This is actually somewhat startling to passersby not expecting it, much to the amusement of the tent-occupants around this one.

Symphony (P7)

Spell Monographs

• A wooden-fronted shop-face, with "service windows" where two musicians playing and singing songs together. There is no "entrance," per se, though a carpet has been rolled out in front of it where folk linger listening to the music. There is a small glass bowl that collects coins thrown into them; when a given song is ended, the proprietors simply speak a word and the coins all disappear from it!
• The proprietors are happy to chat with those who walk up, stopping for several minutes inbetween songs to give them a chance to talk to visitors and make some sales, although they also clearly make coin from those wandering past.
• The interior of the tent is smaller and private.
• 'Spell Monographs: A plain tan scrapstitch cover binds the Symphony monographs, each affixed with a simple pewter musical notation mark glued to its surface. The spell notations within are very similar to musical notes, so much so that those who are proficient in a musical instrument learn them in half the amount of normal time. All of the spells are also bard spells.
