That night, I stepped out of the Seer's mysterious green robe and into my favorite role - the Lycaeum's most famous professor, ready to spin a tale to a crowded room. The event was designed to spread information, yes, but then we would "surprise" the players with an attack by monsters "from the great and dangerous northern lands." The usual creatures were on that night's playbill: frost trolls, wyrms, poisonous ice serpents. Everybody would be happy - the hardcore, information-hungry roleplayers would be satisfied by the story I was telling, and the people who just loved to show up and crush enemy hordes would have a turn, as well. It was a textbook case of a good event.
