"So," Brand says to the bartender, leaning on the bar, "What's good in town? Apart from us, obviously."She flashes him a winning smile.
"Speaking of, I happen to be a bard of many years experience, and a portfolio of songs I can guarantee your patrons will not have heard. What do you say I do a few of my best numbers, you let us stay here tonight?"

You can always find a place to perform, usually in an inn or tavern, but possibly with a circus, a theater, or even in a noble's court. At such a place, you receive free lodging and food of a modest or comfortable standard (depending on the quality of the establishment), as long as you perform each night. In addition, your performance makes you something of a local figure. When strangers recognize you in a town where you have performed, they typically take a liking to you.

Caidi takes her brandy and finds an empty table near the bar. She looks at Brand and raises her glass, "Please, do go on, I have been looking forward to this." and to the bartender she remarks, "Of course she does. Don't be rude."
"Yer would be surprised how many horrid bards come through here and negotiate fir a guaranteed night before performing"
Brand, make a performance check.

"This is a song about the great Krimmish hero, Elgalor Damostro." She launches into a blistering routine, her fingers flying across the strings.
"On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light, In the face of Death's eternal reign, he rode towards the fight. When the darkness had set all around, he showed us all his might, While the sound of evil laughter echoed from the greatest heights.
Fighting hard with bright shining steel through the wastelands of Allore, The risen ghouls will feel his blade and wash up on the shore. On the blackest plains of Moloch's domain, we watch him as he goes, Through fire and pain, now once again we know.
So now he rides ever free, He's free before the thunderstorm. Onwards through the wilderness his quest carries on, Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight Deep inside our hearts and all our souls!
So far away, we wait for the day, For his return to our hearth and our home. We feel the pain of a lifetime as he goes and we must stay Through the fire and the flames, we carry on!"
There then follows a four minute yarting solo, which takes her all around the tavern, playing individually in front of almost every patron in the place.
"Well, that's somethin' new! We haven't had something that good in a... actually, in my year here that was probably the best"

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Caidi sets down her glass and gives Brand a warm smile, she can tell that it isn't a familiar look on Caidi's face. "I did enjoy that, thank you." she pauses a moment, and the smile becomes more of a smirk, "But let's not make it a habit, ok?"
She then turns away from her group and let's her attention drift to the people that entered the bar after them, trying to tell if there is anything of note about them or their conversation.
"It's what I do, Cai, there's plenty more where that came from! Uh hey, bar guy, what's your name? And what's good to see in Gaaren, what should we check out while we're here?"

"Ooo, all of the above!" Brand's eyes shine with the thought of getting stuck into some kind of adventure, the kind of thing worth writing songs about.
"Anybody need saving? Any monsters need slaying? Any ancient tombs to discover? Cool hero stuff, you know?"
Caidi raises her eyebrows as her friend exclaims about wanting to do everything and anything. Not having a strong desire on any of these things, she continues to drink her brandy and waits for a decision to be made. She does hope the rooms Brand sang for are at least clean, though it will be soo nice sleeping in an actual bed after the ground for so long. After that thought, she contemplates how much longer she will stay in the common room before retiring.

Brand ends the song standing on a chair, one foot on the backrest, arm held high following the final chord, panting for breath.
"Thank you! Tell your friends... huff... that Brand the Bard...huff... is at the Drunken Dragon! Spread the word!"
She clambers down into the same chair and wipes sweat from her brow.
"Phew! That felt good! I need another beer..."
