The cruel ringleader of the sinister circus where you learned your trade.\r\n3. A noble who wants vengeance for the song you wrote about him.\r\n4. The actor who says that there’s always room in their troupe for you and your companions.\r\n5. The noble who owes you a favor for penning the love poems that won their spouse.\r\n6. Your former partner, a slumming noble with a good ear and bad judgment.\r\n7. The rival who became successful and famous by taking credit for your best work.\r\n8. The highly-placed courtier who is always trying to further your career.\r\n9. A jilted lover who wants revenge. \r\n10. The many tavernkeepers and tailors to whom you owe surprisingly large sums.\r\n\r\n### Entertainer Mementos\r\n\r\n1. Your unfinished masterpiece—if you can find inspiration to overcome your writer's block.\r\n2. Fine clothing suitable for a noble and some reasonably convincing costume jewelry.\r\n3. A love letter from a rich admirer.\r\n4. A broken instrument of masterwork quality—if repaired, what music you could make on it!\r\n5. A stack of slim poetry volumes you just can't sell.\r\n6. Jingling jester's motley.\r\n7. A disguise kit.\r\n8. Water-squirting wands, knotted scarves, trick handcuffs, and other tools of a bizarre new entertainment trend: a nonmagical magic show.\r\n9. A stage dagger.\r\n10. A letter of recommendation from your mentor to a noble or royal court.",
