Stop stuffing your maw!"At this point fair Devis uttered a laugh.It didn't take levels of loremaster to do this math.Twice their take he had earned with music this night.It paid to spend skill points in Perform, not to fight."What you laugh at?" Krusk asked, stretching his mind.You see, brains were not something known for his kind."Good Krusk, pay heed, if you can manage that task.I speak only the truth, not a fact do I mask.Though your rage came in handy when fighting those gnolls,My music worked better in distracting the trolls.So, in a way, you surely could say,That without Devis the bard, you'd not live to this day."At this point, stern Ember, let go a loud scoff.The iconics fell silent, one heard not even a cough."It seems to me," she began, one deep thought revealing,"that no one's role we're concealing."Tordek with his axe fought to the last man,While the quick thinking of Soveliss came up with a plan.Mialee's magic was a show of thaumaturge,While Hennet's spontaneous casting was more about urge."Jozan of Pelor healed us all in a pinch,Alhandra proved she's one butt-kicking wench.Lidda was sneaky and fought from behind,While Redgar cut down foes of all kind."Krusk lived the fury, raining down blows,Vadania kept away all the natural woes.Devis' song filled us all with much mirth,Even diminutive Nebin proved to all his worth."There's someone I've missed, I know in my heart,But forgive me, all, I can't find that part.Whichever iconic I've omitted today,I hope, inside, you don't take it the wrong way."Ember was right, there was one she left out.Though he didn't know, so he could never pout.The adventure he missed, off on the commode.'Cause there aren't many words that rhyme Ialdabode.</blockquote>
