[QUOTE="Vraille Darkfang, post: 2949181, member: 16989"] I could have sworn I've heard something similar to this before. (Maybe one of those 'Bard on the Run' Articles from April Dragons, or the old FR list Serve). If anybody knows if this has been done before, let me know (or any of the others I've posted for that matter). Now to a tune that would probably make a better video than a song, (To the Charlie Daniel's Band's Devil Went Down to Georgia) He got routed through Atlanta I'm guessing. [B][U][SIZE=3]Balor Went Down to Faerun[/SIZE][/U][/B] by Volothamp Geddarm A Balor went down to Faerun, he was looking for a soul to steal. He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal. When he came across this old man smokin' on a pipe and castin' a lot. And the balor landed upon a shadowtop stump and said: "Wizard let me tell you what: "I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a spellslinger too. "And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you. "Now you cast a pretty good spell, gramp, but give a balor his due: "I bet a pipe of gold against your soul, 'cos I think I'm better than you." The man said: "My name's Aumar and it might be a sin, "But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best that's ever been." Aumar you guano up your fingers and bend the Weave hard. 'Cos the Abyss broke loose in Faerun and the balor deals it hard. And if you win you get this shiny pipe made of gold. But if you lose, the balor gets your soul. The balor lifted up his sheath and he said: "I'll start this wimp." And fire flew from his fingertips as he loosened up his whip. And he pulled a sword across his thighs and it made an evil hiss. Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this. (Sounds of Massive Explosions, Concussive Blasts, and Lightning Crackling) When the balor finished, Aumar said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son. "But if you'll sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done." Fireball o'er the moun, run orcs, run. The Cyricists' in the House of the Dark Sun. Thayan in the grave-yard, raisin' up thralls. "Ashemmi, does your gnoll bite?" "No, goblin, no." (Stock A-Bomb Blast Test Footage) The balor bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat. He laid that golden pipe on the ground at Aumar's feet. Elminster said: "Balor just come on back if you ever want to try again. "I told you once, you son of the Abyss, I'm the best that's ever been." And he cast fireball o'er the mount, run orcs, run. The Cyricists' in the House of the Dark Sun. Thayan in the grave-yard, raisin' up thralls. "Ashemmi, does your gnoll bite?" "No, goblin, no.” [/QUOTE]
