Gambling at Steal the Rest

+300 XP to Zacarias

(Summary of session 17.)

"Ah, yes, see, I don't have the money just now - no, no, really not a problem, it's just that, well let me explain. No wait... even better, I wrote a song about this.

There was a young man from Kelex,
Who very much liked to -

No wait, that's a different song. How did this one go again? Aha!

The sorcerer frogs, they came they saw, they slew.
The world was their oyster, or was it their fly, oh my!
And your town of Steal, in their path, was doomed, you knew.
Until, that is, some heroes saw aught was awry.

We seven did come, the dust of the trail behind,
When evil we spied in the wood, yes evil most fell.
But heroes we are, and to fear, we are all but blind!
So the battle was joined, and at battle, we do excel.

We locked and loaded and drew our guns with haste.
They bound, they leapt, but in the end they croaked.
And thus we saved your man from becoming frog paste,
So put down your knives and let me go home un-poked.

Post-script: if you don't, my friend Ramuh may rage.
I've seen what befalls a toad struck by lightning,
And if you provoke my friend, this here dark sage,
The tale they'll tell of your demise shall be quite frightening!

That croaked bit was a pun by the way. Yeah, I make a better bard than Ash the screamer over there. So what do you say we just forget about the money and go home?"
