Pio had retrieved Cami from her comfortable seat in the audience and set her down at a table backstage, thrusting a paper and pen into her hand.

"We have a little problem. You'd better start writing. You're going to have to finish up the piece we wrote earlier today." Pio pointed towards a couch where Bethberry now lay sleeping, exhausted from her earlier efforts presenting awards to several worthy Downers. Pio glanced nervously towards the door. "I'm due for my shift back in the Inn, so you're the only one left. Just make it short and sweet."

Cami groaned audibly as she saw the Elf retreat through the door and disappear down the hallway. "Short and sweet" was not exactly what she was known for on the Downs. More like long and dour!

The hobbit took a moment to flip through Melificent's "Catalog of Magical Potions and Other Concoctions Guaranteed to Make Men Quake", hoping to find inspiration for her writing. These products looked formidable. She'd better dump this book of magic before returning to the Shire. Pio would never let such an item into the Green Dragon Inn or any of the other RPGs. She looked out the window and scowled, fiddled with her pen, and began scrawling something down on paper. She hoped it would suffice. One little piece of her mind was still dreaming of taking a vacation to someplace nice that was very far away.
