[Cade eagerly launches into the story in the dramatic fashion one would expect of a bard, even doing different voices for different characters and emphasizing things with grandiose hand gestures.
((The story would take a very long time to write out, but here's the summary: Cade is travelling through Veritas when he makes friends with a group of strange men. The strange men rob a noble in the kingdom of Cappadocia and set up Cade to take the fall. The noble wants to execute Cade, but the noble's daughter is smitten with the bard and makes her father promise not to kill him. The noble instead tells Cade that he will be free if he can slay a mighty dragon that had been terrorizing the city by eating people and destroying homes. Cade sets off to fight the dragon, but quickly finds he is outmatched. He stalls his demise by entertaining the dragon with stories and songs. The dragon gets so into Cade's music that it begins to dance and accidentally impales its head on a stalactite as it does so. With the dragon slain, it never bothers another soul again, and Cade and the city of Cappadocia live happily ever after (Cade more-so, what with the Dragon's treasure horde and all).))
