Varrick Songweave

"Name: Varrick Songweave, Weaver of Epic Ballads
Experience: Part-time crooner at Trollskull Manor Tavern—yes, THE Trollskull, where heroes like Eyeless and Artemis drink! Penned the now-famous Ballad of the Trollskull Heroes, sung to roaring crowds (and the occasional Zhentarim spy). Once made a Xanathar thug cry with a single chord—true story!
Skills: Lute mastery, crowd-rousing, tale-spinning of treasure hunts (500,000 Dragon coins, anyone?), and dodging tavern brawls (mostly).
Achievements: Survived a Mind Flayer’s glare while performing—kept playing! Now a local legend among Waterdeep’s ale-swillers.
Rates: One gold per song, or free if you’ve got gossip on the Dragon coins!
Availability: When not at Trollskull, I’m at your tavern, wedding, or shady alley deal—name your stage!"*

Scattered across the poster are doodles: a spilled ale mug, a Zhentarim dagger, and a radiant glow hinting at Eyeless’s Aasimar light. At the bottom, in smaller script: "Ask for Varrick at Trollskull Manor—don’t settle for less than Waterdeep’s finest bard!" The parchment’s edges are singed, as if it survived a bar fight, adding to its gritty charm.
