The Advetures Of The Traveling Circus

Lewis Wood II

Lewis Wood strode through the temple to his room, clutching his lyre in his arms, dodging around the full sized humans that lived in the temple along side him. As a halfling it was hard to be noticed so he was mostly ignored by most people there at the temple. He'd taken the fact that he was often left out as a chance to do something more than his training as a Cleric. Frequently while the others in the temple were busy enjoying each others company he would go into town, set up a small stall and just do some simple busking. He arrived at his room and started packing his few possessions. Lewis had finally decided that the temple was no longer for him. He had only basic cleric training but he wanted more from is life. He felt isolated and uncomfortable at the temple. He'd made a decision, he would become an entertainer! Slinging his pack over his shoulder he headed off to life outside the temple.
A few days later he had arrived at a large town. With few coins to be able to use for accommodation he decided to start his busking straight away. Bee-lining for the busy, bustling market place, he set up stall and started playing on his lyre. After a few hours of playing he had gathered a few silver pieces and several copper pieces too, realising he may need to up the key of his performance he started singing to accompany the soft melodic sounds emanating from his instrument. A nearby cat was so startled that it alarmingly meowed before bolting off, running though the legs of merchants and the people buying wares. That was until a gigantic dragon born misplaced it's foot and made a pancake out of the scrawny ally cat, spreading it's matted orange fur across the ground.
The sound coming from Lewis's mouth was appalling and a passersby looked at him with horror from hearing such a din. Needless to say he made no more coin for the rest of the day.
