Word spreads quickly through the streets and alleyways of Waterdeep, whether through town crier or gossip or enchantment, and none so more than word of an opportunity. And just such an opportunity was now spreading like wildfire. The prominent halfling collector Merret Halfman, known for his esoteric if not eccentric collection of odds and ends housed in his own Hall of Little Wonders in the Castle Ward, needed a job done. He often did, really. But what was it this time? Simple. A certain artifact had caught the halfling’s ever fervent attention: The Demitasse of Hallertauer. A small little thing, name all but unfamiliar outside of experienced collector circles, and something that was known to be currently within the city. And Merret needed someone to get it for him.
The catch?
It was part of a larger collection on display at a ritzy underground cabaret called the Aureate Beholder. One night only. Tomorrow night, in fact. And that night?
Host to an extravagant party and the largest dance competition this side of the Sword Coast.
---------------------------------------------------
Hey y'all! With half my threads and adventures still on hold for now I thought I'd throw out a little adventure for anyone who was interested. Probably going to be a bit on the shorter and sillier side, but just something to drum up a little more activity on the site! No level requirements, I'll balance anything that needs to be balanced based on the party comp, and I'd be looking for 2-3...maybe 4 people, depending on interest. The only thing rules-wise I'll say in case it comes up in anyone's head: having high charisma or performance is absolutely not required! Let me know if you have any other questions though!

Real quick, a good point was brought up on whether or not your character needed to be okay with stealing for this adventure: not at all! Merret's associate would have made it clear that the halfling doesn't care how you get the artifact, just that you do. Here's a bit more information on the event itself to that end:
The yearly dance gathering at the Aureate Beholder is a well known event among nobles, socialites, and serial party goers, with attendees arriving from all over Waterdeep and even cities as far away as Daggerford. A staple of the event is the accumulation of a display as extravagant as the event itself. Among the dancing, revelry, and general glitz and glam of the cabaret, attendees, at least the more well off, bring a unique, representative, or otherwise memorable item to place on a central display at the celebration. Aside from adding to the decor, the selling, purchasing, or swapping of such artifacts is commonplace, and finding a little special something for yourself is as easy as walking a few steps in any direction...provided the owner is willing to part with it. There's also a rumor that this year the winner of the dancing competition will be given free pick of anything within the Beholder.

Okay! So right now that means we have:
I'm looking to hopefully post up the adventure sometime tonight after I get home from work, so if anyone else is interested (I'd be okay with a party of 4!) then that leaves you about 5-6 hours to sign up!
