It's too bad that you don't know anyone who is the head of an adulterine craft
guild. Cuz, then, like, maybe the crafts people in the Guild would be willing
to make you little trinkets to put in your treasure chest.

So, what would make a good presentation to give to
an arbitrary bard, minstrel, trouvere, or other performer
who stopped by or was kidnapped into your encampment
and gave a halfway acceptable performance?
Dinner would seem to be authentic, but that's
time consuming, hard on your kitchen staff, and
many people aren't willing to trust your food, anyway.
Beer is acceptable, I suppose, but if everyone gives
a wanderer a beer, he's not likely to wander very far.
(which, admittedly, might be an idea....)
I know that glass rings or other jewelry or tokens
get used by some people.
We've offered a choice of cookies or a song in return,
before.
If you were a wandering performer, what would inspire
YOU to come back the next year (or day, whatever) or
send your friends?
--Goedjn
I need a treasure chest, that's what I need.

I remember being offered something almost exactly like that at Pennsic
(mumblemumble...) but they called it "The Poison-frog of Trimaris". Served
in a covered tankard, with a chip of dry ice. It was gatorade and Everclear
<they swore it was commercial>, about half and half. They'd checked, and the
"glow-worm" laces are non-toxic/edible , so they just mixed in the liquid.
The dry Ice slowed it down so that the glow lasted longer.
What was cool was the showmanship, when they introduced it to someone
new...
After dark a fully robed and hooded figure prepared it behind the kitchen
box. Then it was handed to you with the cover partly lifted, and the green,
glowing fog pouring down the sides. ("I am Christine, and I am PURE
EVIL"...) After you'd been drinking for a while, they'd start telling the
survival suggestions for the next morning, and how to tell if you'd been
"bitten by The Frog".
Catch me sometime at an event, put a beer in my hand and I'll share the
survival info <g>
