[QUOTE="ConnorSB, post: 1610310, member: 14273"] How about Sting? His "The Soul Cages" album has a few good ones, especially the title track. The boychild is locked in the fisherman's yard A bloodless moon where the oceans die Shoals of nightstars hang fire in the nets in the chaos of cages, where the crayfish lie. Where is the fisherman, where is the goat? Where is the keeper in his carrion coat? Eclipse on the moon when the dark bird flies where is the child with his father's eyes? ... a few verses later.... I have a wager, the brave child spoke. The fisherman laughed, though disturbed at the joke. "You will drink what I drink, but you must equal me. If the drink leaves me standing, a soul shall go free" (The boy said that, and the soul he speaks of is his fathers) "I have hear a cask of most magical wine. A vintange thats blessed every ship in the line. It was wrung from the blood of the sailors who died Young white bodies adrift in the tide." (now the fisherman/keeper speaks) "Whats in it for me, my pretty young thing? Why should I whisper when the caged bird sings. If you lose a wager with the king of the sea (thats the fisherman/keeper) You'll spend the rest of forever in the cage with me." Right there, I can imagine a watery demiplane containing a half-fiend/ half keeper (with a big evil coat artifact thing), a twisted monster known as the goat, and row after row of souls trapped in cages in the form of screaming crayfish. A boy must bet against the evil devil thing to free his father, and the PCs must help him get there, and perhaps rescue some of thier own. A Thousand Years (from Brand New Day) reminds me of the Arcane Sanctuary from Diablo II. Inside (From Sacred Love) is like some sort of evil air-based tower monestary thing. The Hounds of Winter = winterwolves... [/QUOTE]
