[QUOTE="GorTeX, post: 4341756, member: 14624"] I modified it just a little for my game, set in the Forgotten realms where a ancient shadow dragon had been defeated by Keegan and banished to shadowfell with the keep protecting the portal. Had the town Sage and the party Wizard find the poem in the sage's library. Here is the slightly altered text I used [sblock] In gleaming keep of marbled stone An ancient evil overthrown. Wrested from this world and entombed, Trapped in Shadow, lest the world be doomed, The thing of evil sent dark dreams, Nightmares wrought of tortured screams, Devout defender's sword did rend, Murder to fate's hand forfend. Awakened to the awful truth, Shattered bones of men and youth, His wife and children, pride and joy, Seen as demons, he destroyed. Kinslayer met his death alone, For wicked deeds he would atone, And so awaits the fated time, Forgiveness grant for hated crimes. In shadowed keep of tumbled stone, Peril hides, for years unknown, Kinslayer's spirit guards it yet, 'Gainst the child he did beget Sole survivor of that cursed line, Doeth awaken the unholy shrine, Dark power he craves as men do thirst, Confining spells to be reversed. Trembling on the edge of doom, Unholy rites 'neath hated tomb Summon the Shadow to the gate And release the ancient fate Seek ye treasure, fame, or greed, Kinslayer's fate be wise to heed, Be ye born of purest light None can withstand the endless night. [/sblock] seems to have gone over real well, thanks for the great idea. [/QUOTE]
