Troubadours
are the grandest poets in the land often hopping from court to court plying
their trade. They often take up with adventurers to gain some wealth, and more
importantly stories to turn into their poems. What Troubadours lack in the
physical realm they more than make up with in the social realm. Many an
adventuring party has had the local bureaucracy smoothed over by the gentle
graces of these songsmiths. Their knowledge of the comings and goings of the
lands is expansive, and their ability to gain knowledge unmatched. Courts and
towns alike all cherish the time they spend with a Troubadour and their
creations.

The Troubadour must spend 10 GP and do an hour of carousing, at the end they
roll d6. On a 1-4, they determine the truthfulness of the rumor. On a 5-6, they

per rumor.

motionless—attacking or moving while hiding is not possible.
