Local Singer Upstaged, BB i. 1

Last night the talented Amaya Angel gave a wonderful performance at the Lilting Lily tavern, though the crowd was less than the standard full house that packs the Lily for her shows. Those who went were in for more than the normal show, however. A wildman of enormous size was the real spectacle, frightening and awing the patrons with his powerful build. He interrupted the show at one point, to the apparent amusement of Miss Angel.

The brute was slow, causing communication problems, but he was accompanied by a dwarf woman who seemed able to speak with him in a crude language. Reports through the Army's Watch Division state that she was stopped on her way into town for causing a disturbance by bringing a wolf into the city. This seems an unlikely behavior for a dwarf and should be dismissed.

Initial fears of the wildman were somewhat forgotten when he began to produce precious metals of many different varieties from his pack, all in their raw states. Rumors abound that he is from a hidden cleft in the high mountain peaks rich in ores and veins beyond all imagination.

While lacking all but the most rudimentary of speech, the wildman seemed capable of drawing people to him. One of the displaced gnome population of Blackwall apparently purchased a room at the Lily for the beastly biped, though the reasons for this are unknown at this time. His table was also graced by the presence of the lovely Miss Angel for some time. Others of a less savory nature were seen to approach him, though no trouble came to pass.

With the wildman staying at the Lily for an undisclosed amount of time, this reporter expects the crowds to reach capacity for the duration of his stay and well beyond, the curiosity drawing all manner of patrons. Says Elijah Johnson, proprietor of the establishment: "Not sure how to feel about that one. A curiosity to be sure, but I don't know if he can drive men to drink like our Amaya can."
