[QUOTE="orsal, post: 4405254, member: 16016"] [i]Story? It's a performance of song that he promised -- his specialty. Of course, there's always a little banter between songs, but the meat of his performance is always music.[/i] As those interested in hearing his songs gather, Nurlan pulls out the purple cloak he likes to wear when on a stage of sorts. He begins with the self-introductory song the others had heard him sing in the Red Dragon Inn or at Tenebrynn's bash. Then he says a little to introduce the next number: "[color=plum]This song comes from the Carduthian lands, across the Stonespike Mountains, but it is of a kind I have encountered in many places. Wherever walking dead have been seen, legends and rumours abound of secret cults that has animated them for ritual purposes. This song was taught to me by two boys, one who claimed such a sect was once active in his grandfather's day, the other who was confident that it still survives, somewhere, although he had never encountered it, and naturally hoped he never would.[/color]" The song itself has a slightly sinister tone: [color=plum][i] ...Strike the cymbals, light the flame Burn the spices, chant the name When is written the high priest's chalk The dead once more will rise and walk. [/i][/color] After that one, Nurlan merely remarks, "[color=plum]There are as many different types of song as there are emotions. Here's something a little different.[/color]" He then concludes with a rather typical ballad of love. The musical quality is typical for Nurlan [color=wheat](Perform: [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1681511/]d20+12=23[/url])[/color], although what he hoped to achieve right now had less to do with his vocal skill than with the topic chosen, that might get others to recount legends and rumours of this area.
