      Only found one reference to ‘Celebrant’. You apparently need to kill all the tieflings, but then also kill the goblin leaders. Apparently you still get a tiefling party scene, but they’re completely random new tiefs - one of which asks to dance with you.

        As a Entertainer and Bard you'll get "A Very Tall Tale" Inspiration if you embellish the story to Volo. I can't say if you can get it without the [Bard] class.

          The Price of Fame doesn't seem to work. I rescued Volo and compeed his quest but no inspiration was awarded.

            Anyone else think its kinda dumb the Entertainer background doesn't give you musical instrument proficiency?
