A ship and crew find their end at the bottom of the ocean, save for one soul survivor. They find themself at a tavern and spin a rather profound tale of how they survived the shipwreck only to collapse seconds after their story ends, leaving their audience to wonder if any of it was true, and to what degree. In the end these strangers decide it was all for show, and declare the shipwrecked sailor as a performer. Little does the town know, however, that every word in their story was true.

Taking up the mantle of a bard doesn't seem like such a bad thing, though.
