What happened at your final performance? Roll 1d6:

1	Despite your training in the deadly arts, an actor died and you were blamed. Take a light-weight Rapier (d6) and a false identity.
2	The crowd loved your catchy tune about a noble and his romantic failings. The noble in question, not so much. Take the Read Mind Spellbook and a warrant for your arrest. Read Mind: You can hear the surface thoughts of nearby creatures. Long-term possession can cause the reader to mistake the thoughts of others as their own.
3	Your debut composition reduced the audience to a gibbering mess, murmuring of bright creatures descending from the night sky. Later you noticed that the notes resembled stellar constellations. Take a Book On Astronomy, and a lot of questions.
4	You mocked a forgotten trickster god and were cursed for it. You speak only in perfect rhyme. Ironically, this has only made you more popular among your peers. Take a Thesaurus (20gp). Without it, you are deprived.
5	You were scarred in an on-stage accident. The crowd cheered, thinking it was part of the act. Take well-worn Stage Mail (1 Armor), a memorable scar, and a fear of applause.
6	Your respectable puppeteering skills were matched only by your mimicry. You were so good you were branded a witch (literally) and banished. Take an Uncanny Hand-Puppet and a Rabbit Skull (petty) that protects against charms.

What trinket were you unable to leave behind? Roll 1d6:

1	False Cuffs	Comfortable, realistic-looking cuffs. Only you know the trick to get out of them.
2	Pocket Theatre	A set of small puppets and a folding stage. Good for quick distractions.
3	Ghost Violin	A dark-gray violin that plays a haunting tune, mirrored by an invisible, distant twin.
4	Tragic Tales	Banned in proper company, this book becomes less bawdy and more harrowing towards the end. Worth 100gp.
5	Mythos Mask	A plaster mask that allows one to take on a monster’s countenance. Once it comes off, add a Fatigue.
6	Rebreak Glass	A wine flute that can be broken multiple times, reforming after 24 hours. Makes a really loud noise.
