[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8904838, member: 508"] [b]INTERLUDE: ALISTAIR'S SONG[/b] To the Esteemed Bard, Holyrood Carp, Alas, it has come time to write a song about myself, if only to round out the entire group. I must confess I have found the entire process somewhat embarrassing, but I hope it will meet both your approval and your needs. The lyrics follow: [INDENT] If you need a man who can wield a blade, you can find them by the score[/INDENT] [INDENT] If you need a magic-wielder, there are spellcasters galore[/INDENT] [INDENT] If you need a man who can do both, they are much harder to find[/INDENT] [INDENT] But Alistair Mandelberen Pastlethwaite is a name that comes to mind[/INDENT] [INDENT] [/INDENT] [INDENT] I say![/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT] He wears a rapier at his hip - he's been training since age 10[/INDENT] [INDENT] He's quite accomplished in its use, as he's shown time and again[/INDENT] [INDENT] Though he's never studied wizards' tomes or even opened a spellbook[/INDENT] [INDENT] He's a natural at the sorc'rous arts - one attempt is all it took[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT] I say![/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT] Born into the nobility, he enjoyed a life of ease[/INDENT] [INDENT] And he could have stayed in luxury, doing just as he might please[/INDENT] [INDENT] But once he started casting spells, he incurred his father's wrath[/INDENT] [INDENT] And he made a vow right then and there to follow an adventurer's path [/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT] I say![/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT] For although he lived a noble's life, adventuring's in his blood[/INDENT] [INDENT] (Although he casts [i]prestidigitation[/i] spells to clear his boots of mud)[/INDENT] [INDENT] That he'd someday help out those in need was a straight-to-heart belief[/INDENT] [INDENT] Spent his childhood preparing, reading Elfy "Danger" Silverleaf[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT] I say![/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT] As an adventurer he does his best; fighting evil is his life[/INDENT] [INDENT] It's a dangerous profession - he's got no time for a wife[/INDENT] [INDENT] And if he runs into trouble, and hasn't got a clue[/INDENT] [INDENT] He thinks, "If I were Elfy 'Danger' Silverleaf, what would I do?"[/INDENT] [INDENT] [/INDENT] [INDENT] I say![/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT] He keeps a low profile, never one to blow his own horn[/INDENT] [INDENT] He's no longer quite the dandy, his leather boots are now quite worn[/INDENT] [INDENT] So who's that well-dressed man riding his horse up to the castle gate?[/INDENT] [INDENT] Why, it's none other than Alistair Mandelberen Pastlethwaite![/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT] I say![/INDENT] Now, having completed songs about the four of us Trained Professional Adventurers, I fear I must cast my lyrical net further. I'm of a mind to write a song about Jasgund Singh, one that would depict him in a less-than-favorable light. I trust you would not find such a song upsetting? I must admit, the thought of a song belittling the fiend eventually reaching his ears brings me a modicum of joy, but I would hate to have any potential repercussions come back at you.
