Hi Ed. I just finished a re-read of Elminster in Hell. I’m curious, given the attempt on Piergeiron’s life and Aleena’s involvement why wasn’t Madeiron Sunderstone present? I would think that Piergeiron’s Champion/Body Guard/Best Friend would have been close at hand. On many occasions, Madeiron undertook missions for Piergeiron (because one thing the Open Lord can't do is depart Waterdeep often, or for any lengthy period), and he was away on one such when that attempt was made (his absence being seen as a golden opportunity).#Realmslore

I played a Kobold that played the Saxophone & rode a Broom of Flying in a D&D 5e game on Wednesday set in Faerun & the Planes.

Would a Saxophone be fair to have a character play in Faerun? How available might it be in Waterdeep? Bryn Shandar? or Chessenta, Soolabax? Oh, yes. Elminster brought some from Earth to the Realms long ago. Also clarinets.
He loved Geddy Lee's double-necked bass, too, but I managed to persuade him that having to steal it AND the right amp, wiring, and power generation station was several bridges too far.#Realmslore

Cool :). Thank you. Do you suppose a similar scenario may have happened with Accordions? Heh. He did that DECADES ago, and shocked a nobles' revel with a polka. A POLKA.
