Treemother watered the Watchertree With a dram of Manatea Juniper sensed its presence grow And Will saw some lichen glow The Manatea seemed a success To help Watchertree convalesce Juniper showed off her new form Treemother said change is the norm Meanwhile at Kelemvor's abode Handlebar began to goad Thromgar and his Acolytes About all of Matris' delights It seemed like vile Caviar Was holding his own seminar On why Kelemvor simply stank And all should join Matris' ranks Several acolytes seemed swayed Which caused Selene to feel dismayed She said "friends not to lose your heads" And Thromgar added "what she said" Handlebar then doxed poor Fenn And spoke of his poor parents' end When a plague swept through his borough And changed his life so long ago Vinegar spoke of Matris' power And said to meet him at the towers If they wanted to be part of his clan And help him with his evil plans Selene dispelled Millibar's illusion But Fenn was feeling much confusion About the world Isobar portrayed During his illusory tirade We all met back at dear Will's place Which seemed to be our new home base We discussed all about what we had learned And everyone seemed quite concerned That the Lower Quarter failed to adore Rys' haikus in his repertoire The party soon reached the conclusion Plebes can't handle such refined allusions Though this crucial matter was addressed Everyone still seemed rather stressed Selene and Fenn were out of sorts As they gave their Superstar report Lyrad and Mugs winced as the pulled Darts from their limbs as they retold The party all about their office raid And the dear price that they paid Lyrad claimed Zakaria's a traitor Which roused many of our group's debaters A cordial conversation ensued As each presented their many clues But no consensus was ever found And the conversation came around To what it was we should do next Which left some of us quite vexed Hoj wanted to recruit his friends To ensure Trolleycar met his end Juniper said we needed carts For our next trip from Rampart Then the discussion's next migration Was to the topic of motivations Juniper fought to save the Watchertree Vale sought to save his home city For Rys the quest was simply his muse Lyrad had the city's shackles to lose She wanted to live outside these walls But sought Motorcar's death most of all Selene feared that the world would end And to stop Wreckingbar is what drove Fenn Mugs had first wanted only loot But had moved on to more noble pursuits As for what motivated Hoj and Will We were left to wonder still For they had left to see Stannard To ask for Knights from the City Guard When they returned they found a dome In the middle of dear Will's home The party, it seems, had gone to sleep Hoj took first watch and heard a peep From behind him appeared Glandular And spoke to him beneath the stars The vile sorcerer praised Hoj's exploits Like breaking all that City Guard's joints To all this Hoj seemed oblivious And the mage's accolades he dismissed And bid the necromancer to quit And at the illusion he did spit The night passed with no more events And in the morning we all went Around the city to prepare ourselves And bought many items from Rampart's shelves From James Wagoner two carts we bought But failed to get the price we sought And as we loaded up to leave A tiny knight did we perceive "You Lancelot?" Juniper inquired The dwarf sighed deeply as though tired "That name's for friends" she replied "I'm upset that I have to go outside" And so Knight Runery joined our ranks To Hoj, none of us gave our thanks As a unit, we had smoothly worked And now we had this extra jerk
