'Ere are some inspiring songs and tales for you fellow bards out there:
The Glory of Adventure
When the enemy's surrounding,
and we think our nerves will fail,
when we hear the trumpets sounding,
and they make us quake and quail,
grab your mug and we'll be pounding
down another round of ale!
And we'll drink,
to the glory of adventure!
If there ever comes the day
when we think that we are lost,
when we think that we must pay
that most dear and final cost,
we'll just pass around the tray,
and feel better when we're sauced!
And we'll drink,
to the glory of adventure!
When we're angry and upset,
'cause we ain't been getting paid,
when we're tired, cold and wet,
and a little bit afraid,
we'll keep drinking and forget
that we ever were dismayed!
And we'll drink,
to the glory of adventure!
When the boredom makes us jumpy,
and the motion makes us ill,
when the food is cold and lumpy,
a disgusting, slimy swill,
there's no reason to be grumpy;
tap the keg, and drink your fill!
And we'll drink,
to the glory of adventure!
When the captain's really sore,
'cause he thinks he's being mocked,
when he's pounding on our door,
and we're certain to get socked,
have a drink, and tease him more;
we'll feel nothing if we're crocked!
And we'll drink,
to the glory of adventure!
Oh, DM
Oh, DM, won't you give me a chainmail plus one
a battle is coming, my armor is gone
without some protection, your servant is done,
Oh, DM, won't you give me a chainmail plus one!
Oh, DM, won't you give me a magical sword,
I just got a dagger, that's all I could afford,
but grant me a weapon, I'll call you my lord,
Oh, DM, won't you give me a magical sword!
Oh, DM, won't you give me a powerful ring,
or bracelet or necklace, or similar thing,
i'll do in all monsters, and _then_ I shall sing:
Oh, DM, won't you give me a powerful ring,
Oh DM, won't you give me the Staff of Command,
or even that infamous Gloth Stone in me hand,
a Gloth Stone, a Gloth Stone if you can,
Oh DM, won't you give me the Staff of Command,
Oh, DM, won't you give me a chainmail plus one
a battle is coming, my armor is gone
without some protection, your servant is done,
Oh, DM, won't you give me a chainmail plus one!
The Brigand
I was a brigand on the road
for reasons I'll not mention.
I had to give it up, you see
I couldn't stand the tension.
I was fated ill by way
of stars in their conjunction.
The more I stole the more I lost
My way of body function.
A digit here, and a digit there
More lost with each endeavour.
All links I had with a brigands
life were impolitely severed.
There was a priestly man,
all dressed in silk and splendour.
I thought he'd be an easy purse
with arms so long and slender.
Imagine my discomfiture
At losing ear and earing
It seems the man had taught
For years, the mastery of fencing.
Then there was a caravan
filled with gold and spice.
The heathen sheik had many guards
who caught me in a thrice.
Thought the did implore of me
their laws to understand.
They did with great alacrity
relieve me of my hand.
Then there was a milky maid
just one thing did she cherish.
When I held her in my arms,
I very nearly perished.
How could such a heavy blade
be kept upon a lass.
She almost got the family jewels,
instead she got my dignity.

Poets, bards, men and women of songs and merriment,
Lend me your ears (and your imaginations too )
I have much to offer, and not much time to speak from mine heart to you..
I do believe I asked a while back for some bawdy songs to be made in the dishonour of the major standing armies in this fine land. That hasn't happened, so..
I will raise prices to 500 gold per song for the following groups:
1) Order of the Shining Blade
2) Order of the White Rose
3) Lost Guard of Glorin
4) Tempus Steel
I also need 2 poems or songs of mirth, wine and vibrant playfulness to compliment (and not dishonour) the Great Eleriina Circus, and it's fine upstanding leading ladies. 1000 Gold on offer for each, and more gold is on offer if the bard in questions wishes to perform whenever the Great Eleriina Circus is in town.
Further gold may also be available for someone to train up my bandmaster, Galinda Raventree, as she is young in the ways of song. I'm thinking of doing a biography of the Great Eleriina Circus - a collection of our greatest acts thus far - and I may need a scholar and scribe as well.
Any bards who wish to gain some gold in reputable employment supplying the fair warriors and maidens of Eleriina with enjoyment and entertainment, approach me. Wine and spirits available during performances. The priests of Bacchus are encouraged to attend as well.

My position in the Order of the Howling Wolf does not allow me to dishounor any of those Guilds. That would seem like an act of war. I am sorry. |

Pathetic nonsense? Nel(or Rumanos, don't know), please, can't you appreciate the fine arts of poetry and singing? Bards can take your mind off of troubles, and it is a beautiful gift.

It's not an act of war, Master Ecusidor, as I see it.
You are not posting a writ against the heads of the guilds and their members, you are taking a long look at their seriousness and roughness, and in a moment of merriment and jest, toning down their harder side for a more peaceable, more enjoyable existence upon the lands of Dysotopia.
After all, the last thing we want happening is to have people randomly killing other people merely because somebody couldn't handle a joke about them, their guild, their mother or their god (although health insurance through Rent-A-Doomslayer will alleviate this unforseen injury as well )
It is also part of the reason the Great Eleriina Circus has come into existence through my fine management and direction. To provide joy and merriment for those who are resting within the gates of Eleriina, the closest and wisest thing to lampoon is ourselves and our fine land (including the King, the various guilds, wars, and standing armies therein). Some of these ideals and wisdom a bard of upstanding reputation such as yourself should be able to affirm and understand - how many court jesters and court thespians have you seen travelling the lands beyond our shore ?
I still need some fine bards to join me as part of the Great Eleriina Circus as well. So all offers remain standing. Performance rates may even increase further if I can't meet supply - demand remains great for the Circus to perform at the moment, so ROLL UP, ROLL UP..

Prisca, it may not be an act of war, and indeed, there should be things for laughing. But there is a big chance that guilds will take it the worng way, and we definately do not want any more violence.

That's why I'm saying it publically. None can question the integrity of this request by being transparent as to my motivations for such an act.
As the leading lady for the Great Eleriina Circus, it is a good thing for those who may be caught up in wars of many misbegotten adventures to take the mind off their jobs for a while and laugh a little at themselves and others. As Foozbane and the Riverettes state: "Why fight when you can DANCE..". We have expanded that idea into new markets and new ways of enjoyment for the warriors of Dysotopia, no matter what alliance or guild structure they fall under.
We are coming up with new acts, new up and coming stars (for the women to swoon over), and we've finally got our badgers dancing the way we want them to (Still working on the bears and golems ). Not to mention the catering supplied in part by the priests and virgin girls of Bacchus, and you KNOW the Great Eleriina Circus is not a thing to miss.
ROLL UP, ROLL UP, the Great Eleriina Circus needs you!!

I fear my bussines contract with mr. Griff Inn doesn't allow me to work for any circus. Heh, he'll likely kill me if I do.
However, when my contract with the honourable Griff Inn ends, Ill consider joining your great Circus.
Now to get back to those songs... _________________ Master Ecusidor, Guardian of the Order of the Howling Wolf and Founder of the Stand of Light.

The Ogt Song:
Ogt once had this pretty lass, with hair noaght as green as grass... But golden and bright as the sun, Oh, how she made Ogt's heart burn...
Her eyes as blue as a sapphire, and bright as the brightest of skies... Her body as perfect as a flawless gem, and a heart pure red like a ruby...
Sweet lass, sweet lass... Ogt is not even worthy of that sweet as nectarine lass...
I believe this was the song for yer lass, Ogt. _________________ Master Ecusidor, Guardian of the Order of the Howling Wolf and Founder of the Stand of Light.

Glorin's song:
Once the badgermouthed had a fat lazy wife, who cheated on him, and stabbed him with a knife.
So Glorin sailed off to Dysotopian shores, and much enjoyed its cheap whores.
Oh, how Glorin was in pain, such a shame, such a shame...
The ass on the lass was big and large. So, If she would ever sail to dyso she would likely sink the barge.
The fat arsed lass remained at home, while the badgermouthed forged his own LGoG throne.
Oh, how Glorin was in pain such a shame, such a shame...
Ah, yes, how it only took me 2 minutes to write this silly song... _________________ Master Ecusidor, Guardian of the Order of the Howling Wolf and Founder of the Stand of Light.

Hey! Don't forget about Strawberry the Lore master and Kathryn (Uin) we are both bards! And Marine, you are correct, arcane weilders are good! That gives yet another reason why Bards are the best, because we can use arcane spells AND fight! _________________ KitsuneJin - Fox Person

Indeed, that was a long time ago, in the good ol' days. Oh, sweet memories. Yes, that was the first and only time I died (first day I played Dyso)
This is the first entry in my journal. I have been keeping a journal from day 1 on dyso:
Master Ecusidor of House Ecusidor:
Very nice, the Innkeeper offered me 500gp for my first job, but I managed to convince him to pay me 750gp! Directions: West, North, West, Butterfield region.
In the west I encountered many bandits, dangerous road that was!
In that Eastern Forest in the north I encountered Ogres! I made myself Invincible, now I can pass through savely!
West again, hmmm, I hope I dont get lost in this passage. Ogres seem to attack caravans in this place alot.
Met two friends on the road: Raver and Alleannon, we travelled together until we reached the Tavern. Almost got lost though.
Reached Gerek's pass. I told the guys to go ahead and that I would follow them later, they seemed conserned for my savety, these are good people.
Reached Butterfly field: We found a hurt dog and took him with us. Hmmm, I believe we must visit the building near the Pit, that must be the Tavern. This place looks important, many roads come to this field.
Now let's go find this tavern. Found it, delivered the ale, now I go back and collect my 750gp.
Attacked by someone's Balor along the way, maybe it was Llewlan's, or it came out of a rift.
-----------------------------------------
Heh, that was a long time ago... ((BTW, Ogt, I didnt know you were Raver OMG, so thats what happened to good ol' (evil) Raver! )) _________________ Master Ecusidor, Guardian of the Order of the Howling Wolf and Founder of the Stand of Light.
