Introduction
Margaret Weis

It is storyteller's night at the Inn of the Last Home. Tika began the institution in order to boost sales during those cold winter nights when people would much rather stay home near the fire than venture out into the ice and snow.
They became enormously popular and now, periodically, she and Caramon send invitations to the most renowned storytellers in Ansalon, offering to pay room and board if they come share their tales.
This evening, the Inn has a fine collection of bards.
Caramon stands up on a keg of ale to be seen over the crowd, and makes the introductions.
"First, I'd like to present the old-timers like me," Caramon says. "These friends date clear back to the time of the War of the Lance. Just raise your hand when I call your name. Tasslehoff, put your hand down. We have tonight: Michael Williams, Jeff Grubb, Nick O'Donohoe, Roger Moore, Doug Niles, Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman ... Where's Tracy?"
Caramon peers out into the crowd. There are shouts of laughter when Hickman is discovered wearing mouse-colored robes and accusing everyone of stealing his hat.
After the noise subsides, Caramon resumes. "A few of our bards this evening are making return appearances. Please raise your hands. No, Tas, that doesn't include you. I-Wait a minute! What's that you're holding in your hand? That's tonight's cash box! Tas! Give me that!"
General confusion. Caramon clambers down off the keg.
