[Mithadan]

Mithadan wandered the party trying to engage the guests in conversation while simultaneously listening to his staff on his earpiece. So far so good. One very dispeptic Elf and a dozen or so broken glasses, but no major bodily injuries, fights or mayhem.

He spied a portly Hobbit accompanied by a petite shieldmaiden. Scowling, he reported the two to security, instructing that they be watched. They likely had nothing to do with the protesters but their dress fit the profile.

Slipping through a side door, he made his way backstage. The soundchecks had been completed and the lighting was being finalized. He walked across the stage and turned into the alcove holding the Downies, after first showing his badge to a Troll who was standing guard. Morgul Plaques and Trophies had done a splendid job preparing the gold tombstone shaped awards. He lifted one and read the inscription, "Most Bubbly and Outgoing". When he read the name of the honoree, he laughed.

Checking with the security center once more and confirming that all was well, he made his way back to the banquet hall and headed towards the bar.
