He hears the invitation but he can hardly believe that anyone would think that he was dramatic so he flatley refuses with a resounding "no".
The Town's Tavern Wench insists on the Tell A Good Story of which incompetent Glarith accepted. Glarith leaves a sour taste in everyone's mouth. Perhaps it would have been better to have not said anything at all. Glarith has not the Drama Skill but unwisely thinks to be better than the Tavern's Challenge much to detriment of Glarith. What an embarrassing situation! That brings out some giddy laughs. You also get hurt in the process either from your own actions or the hard rock that is thrown at your head from across the room of the Tavern!
