[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 2290098, member: 1656"] Hamm winces at the blow. "[COLOR=YellowGreen]Bunch of savages in this town,[/COLOR]" he comments to Karjanga. "[COLOR=YellowGreen]My, what sharp teeth you have,[/COLOR]" he murmurs, reaching back into his pocket to produce his harmonica. "[COLOR=YellowGreen]Something to stir the blood?[/COLOR]" he repeats, raising an eyebrow. Long, practised fingers cup the instrument to his mouth, and he plays two bars... slow, but familiar to anyone who'd frequent such an establishment as the Dog, and loud enough to cut across the background chatter. And to remove all doubt as to what he plans to play, he lowers the instrument enough to call the traditional opening lines of the song: "[COLOR=YellowGreen]Gather close, lend an ear, listen to a tale... of the meanest man there ever was...[/COLOR]" He pauses a moment to allow everyone to call out the name. "[COLOR=YellowGreen]Ol' Man-Mountain Krayle![/COLOR]" Raising the harmonica again, he begins to play the far more rousing main melody, tapping his heel exaggeratedly and encouraging others with his eyes to join in with clapping or tapping of their own. Once the introduction is over, he launches into the well-worn story, interspersing each short verse with a few bars on the harmonica, regaling the Dog's patrons with the old accounts of how Man-Mountain Krayle wrestled giants, laid out an owlbear with a single punch, ate his way out of a gelatinous cube, and made a huge animated beer mug out of a clay golem. After the third run through the chorus, he stops singing that part himself, instead accompanying the patrons with his harmonica, and saving his voice for the verses... [/QUOTE]
