[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8283871, member: 508"] And I think I've only ever done this once before, in the campaign prior to the one referenced above. The PCs entered an extradimensional space which ended up being a soul prison called "The Maze of Fools" - the souls of those dying within it couldn't be released to their normal afterlife, but were stuck there in the extradimensional maze. As soon as the PCs entered the Maze of Fools (and the door not only slammed behind them but then promptly disappeared, trapping them within until they could find an alternate way out), the master of the maze - a ghostly jester called the Prime Fool - showed up and introduced himself in song. It went as follows: [INDENT]Welcome, all you boys and ghouls[/INDENT] [INDENT]Welcome to my Maze of Fools[/INDENT] [INDENT]You might think you don't belong[/INDENT] [INDENT]But you won't think that for too long[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]Please accept my invitation[/INDENT] [INDENT]Cause no pause or...hesitation[/INDENT] [INDENT]Make yourselves all right at home[/INDENT] [INDENT]Stay right here or try to roam[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]You'll find it makes no difference[/INDENT] [INDENT]Because despite your preference[/INDENT] [INDENT]This is where you're here to stay[/INDENT] [INDENT]Eternity begins today[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]But please don't worry your sweet heads[/INDENT] [INDENT]It's so much comfier when dead[/INDENT] [INDENT]You're still alive? Well, shucks and drat![/INDENT] [INDENT]Let's see what we can do 'bout that![/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]And sanity, it's overrated[/INDENT] [INDENT]It's bothersome; I'm sure you hate it[/INDENT] [INDENT]So while we're killing you pell-mell[/INDENT] [INDENT]Let's whisk those frisky minds as well![/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]I think you'll find undeath improved[/INDENT] [INDENT]When you're insane, your mind removed[/INDENT] [INDENT]It's much more fun without your cares[/INDENT] [INDENT]So goodbye, you grey cells upstairs![/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]And now my song is nearly done[/INDENT] [INDENT]It's time to get on with the fun[/INDENT] [INDENT]So look around and choose your deaths[/INDENT] [INDENT]It's time to take your final breaths[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]And I'll be with you when you do[/INDENT] [INDENT]'Cause I want to be friends with you[/INDENT] [INDENT]So pick a death, and make it clever[/INDENT] [INDENT]And we'll all be best friends -- forever![/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]Ah HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA![/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] And to make matters worse, I portrayed the Prime Fool by capering around the kitchen table where the players were all seated, singing the song to them by memory.
