[QUOTE="Systole, post: 5528995, member: 93930"] From outside the inn comes a strange caterwauling, as if someone were torturing a sheep. The sound grows louder, coming closer, until the door bursts open and reveals a figure of medium stature. Silhouetted in the doorway, it is difficult to perceive anything besides its pointed ears, and for a moment it looks almost like a goblin of unusually large size. As the figure enters, it becomes clear that it is a somewhat short elf covered in grime and warpaint. And he's singing ... sort of. He’s bloody [I]awful[/I]. As he continues, it almost sounds like Elvish, but the dialect is strange, and the melody is decidedly un-Elvish. It almost seems ... [I]bawdy[/I]. For Elvish speakers:[sblock] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]I werre all the lassies was fish in a lake[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]And I was a trout wi' a slippering jake.[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]So rail your leg over, rail your leg over,[/COLOR] [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]Rail your leg over the fullin' o' moon.[/COLOR] [/sblock] Waving a half dozen large, dead rats, he shouts in Common to the barkeep, [COLOR=DarkOliveGreen]"City man!
