[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 4817138, member: 23484"] [COLOR="Yellow"]"Happy?"[/COLOR] Lord Baltimore asks of no one in particular. Then, with apparent seriousness, [COLOR="Yellow"]"Why would one learn a happy song? Unless there is pain, there can be no beauty."[/COLOR] He stops leaning against the wall, lifting himself with a sigh that suggests he understands how disappointed the wall will be without him nearby any longer. A final glance towards the city gate shows a noticeable absence of local guards, which Lord Baltimore tries not to take personally; perhaps they are in fact needed elsewhere at this moment. He begins his walk along the road. The weather is comfortable, and he rolls up his sleeves, revealing more scars along his forearms. These scars have been deliberately placed, straight lines that interrupt the even pattern of his fur, and are clearly the result of a protracted torture at some point in Lord Baltimore's past. He does, however, continue to sing, as he walk the six miles to a wayside tavern. The song is not constant, but it is clearly intended for the gnome's enjoyment. It is, in its way, a happy song. Its rhythms roll like a sea-shanty, and the tale it tells is of a halfling prince who wanted to visit the moon. He finds himself a kobold nest, and waits for them to emerge, one by one. One by one he kills them, and each time he bodies their bodies on top of each other, building his tower to the sky, [COLOR="Yellow"]"...as he stacked all their bodies to the moon, oh! Yes, he stacked all their bodies to the moon."[/COLOR] The song is carefree and silly and improbable, with each verse seamlessly modulating up a semitone as the hero climbs higher, the tempo increasing slightly as well.
