Experience II

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"So, Missy Sil'erplate, be thinkin' 'ou could play us a tune er three? 'E ocean's mighty fine, but af'er one way, ye've seen 'em all. I could use a tune, somethin' valerous-like, 'eroes and whatnot," Granite says cheerfully, stepping back to block Teratius's exit.

Silvermoon

“Whom are you talking to? First I thought you meant me, but then again, I'm not the bard, and my name is Silvermoon. Sil-ver-moon. His name is Teratius, and he's the bard. Well, at least I assume so.” Pointing to the bard in an explaining gesture, while she reintroduces him, Silvermoon smiles friendly. Well, he's a dwarf he probably doesn't know better and who am I to judge him for that, she thinks generously.

"Moon, moon, righ' then," Granite says absently, and then turns to Teratius. "So then, ye 'ave a song fer us trav'ers?"

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

"I have many songs indeed, though I doubt a martial air is appropriate for this venue. Perhaps a song of the sea?"

It was Friday morn, when we set sail, and we were not far from the land,
When the captain, he spied a mermaid so fair, with a comb and a glass in her hand.

And the ocean waves do roll, and the stormy winds do blow
An' we poor sailors are skippin' at the top
While the land lubbers lie down below, below, below
While the land lubbers lie down below!


As he sings, his voice is quite rich, almost entrancing.

 

[DM_Matt]

Rana ponders "Ok, so now he's trapped. I THINK he did it, but there just isn't enough evidence to be sure. I can't just jump him...there has to be a way to get him to incriminate himself."

Silvermoon

Listening to the bard, Silvermoon is naturally intrigued by the beauty of his song. Skreg, the little dragon, also seems to like it, as he starts humming with the melody, but stops abruptly, when Silvermoon asks him to.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

And up spake the captain of our gallant ship, and a fine brave captain was he,
He said this mermaid has warned me of our doom, we shall sink to the bottom of the sea.

And the ocean waves do roll, and the stormy winds do blow
An' we poor sailors are skippin' at the top
While the land lubbers lie down below, below, below
While the land lubbers lie down below!

Silvermoon

Silvermoon continues to listen until the song is finished.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

Then up spoke the first-mate of our gallant ship
And a brave young man was he
He said "I have a wife in Dawnpoint by the sea
But tonight a widow she will be"

[chorus]

Then up spoke the cook of our gallant ship
And a crazy old butcher was he
He said "I care much more for my pots and my pans
Than I do for the bottom of the sea"

[chorus]

Then up spoke the parrot of our gallant ship
and a crazy old buzzard was he
he said, “I cares more for my crakers and my seeds
than I cares for the bottom of the sea

[chorus]

Three times around spun our gallant ship
And three times around spun she
Three times around spun our gallant ship
And she sank to the bottom of the sea.

Silvermoon

Silvermoon smiles and claps her hands in appreciation. “I just hope this wasn't a glance into the future, a beautiful song, indeed.”
