[QUOTE="Richards, post: 6890892, member: 508"] [b]INTERLUDE: "THE KORDOVIAN BAND"[/b] I have an adventure coming up that will play off the fact that the PCs are starting to have songs sung about them, so I thought it might be appropriate to actually come up with a sample song extorting their prowess. Here then, is "The Kordovian Band," the song sung by the wandering bard with whom the group shared a dinner and a campsite immediately before the events of "Ogre Eight." - - - [INDENT]The kingdom of Kordovia is but a speck of land But in that tiny country there are heroes well at hand They travel 'cross the countryside, fight monsters for their kicks Their power's near unlimited, though their number's merely six To start with there's Finoula with her wave of silv'ry locks She's tougher than a grizzly and she's crafty as a fox With her twin blades in hand she races into mortal danger But her heart holds no fear, for she's an undefeated ranger [i]Finoula is a powerhouse, but she's not all at hand For there are five more heroes in the Kordovian band[/i] Castillan's a bounder, he can race right up a wall He'll leap right into battle, and you'll never see him fall You'll watch his mighty exploits and then wonder if you saw it He'll slash out with his short sword though you never saw him draw it [i]Castillan's a powerhouse, but he's not all at hand For there are five more heroes in the Kordovian band[/i] Binkadink's a little gnome but he is fierce and brave He's slain a hundred monsters with his trusty gnomish glaive His foes might try to run away but they have little hope For Binkadink will chase them down on his fearsome jackalope [i]Binkadink's a powerhouse, but he's not all at hand For there are five more heroes in the Kordovian band[/i] And when it comes to wizardry, the band's got Gilbert Fung His mastery of spellcraft's astounding for one so young His knowledge of the arcane arts is always at its peak And you know you're talking to him once Gilbert begins to speak [i]Gilbert Fung's a powerhouse, but he's not all at hand For there are five more heroes in the Kordovian band[/i] Darrien's an archer and he has a magic bow That turns into a spider when he tells it to do so His accuracy's amazing and it never seems to ebb He'll shoot an arrow 'tween your eyes or wrap you in a web [i]Darrien's a powerhouse, but he's not all at hand For there are five more heroes in the Kordovian band[/i] Ingebold's a cleric and she worships Moradin She steps right into battle with an eager dwarven grin Though she is short in stature her warhammer is a whopper And it's already proven that not even death can stop her [i]Ingebold's a powerhouse, but she's not all at hand For there are five more heroes in the Kordovian band[/i] So put them all together and you've got a fighting force A band of strong adventurers forged in the Goblin Wars They've beaten orcish armies and they've slaughtered the undead You best not fight against them, or you'll likely lose your head! [i]There are six adventurers in the Kordovian band And they're the fiercest combatants to ever cross this land![/i][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
