Retelling

We took a long rest and we woke up refreshed But none of us still was quite feeling their best Mugs was the first one to notice a smell That could only come from a stew straight from hell Baraxus had cooked up some weird sort of meat The kind that mere mortals should not really eat None of us wanted to come across rude And so we all braved trying some of his food Mugs was unable to finish a taste Vale threw in some jerky but it went to waste Fenn went and spoon fed the stew to his thrall But poor zombie George didn't like it at all Baraxus then gave us an Irish goodbye And while we were looking around for that guy Vellora returned and gave us some good news "I have a few options from which you should choose" "A Commander named Balgra's an arena fiend" "You'd do well in pit fighting from what I have gleaned" "Or a mine that's gone silent is owned by a dude" "Who has lots of money and is named Nazrude" "Lastly there's ruins that just now appeared" "And Vana's been searching them all for some years" "She might benefit from your group's expertise" "If you hurried off now, you might beat her parties" Our group is quite versed in archaeology, At least in the amateur variety When it came to discov'ries, we'd outclass those fools Rys quickly prepared his bardographer's tools But before the whole party set off to explore We decided that we would go shopping once more Will trade his stripes for an fancy long bow Then just one more errand before we could go Hoj was concerned he'd forgotten his trade How was a great Paladin's role to be played? He sought a great tome where such facts were supplied Indeed he sought a Complete Idiot's Guide But when Hoj attempted to purchase this book The shopkeeper gave him a skeptical look "I can't sell to you, for you have no soul Sorry but you know how business deals go" Vale offered his soul as a signatory And asked for a book of planes walker stories A deal was then struck and the guys got their books Will offered a hairball and got dirty looks The rest of the party had hung out with V To hear about all of the things we might see When we went to the ruins and checked the place out First off she just warned us about Vana's scouts They're clever and probably already there But were we to off them she'd prolly not care The ruins themselves, they seemed just a bit queer They'd disappear within a week to a year We all headed off to go and see the sites And we witnessed some devils with terrible plights Slaves were for sale as though common chattel And many were sent off into front line battle We spent lots of time slipping past just two guards I'm still not sure why we had made it so hard We arrived at the ruins and found Vana's team And Hoj approached them with his quite callow scheme "Hey, let's work together!" he told the head guy The Dude looked him over and scoffed and asked "why?" "We know about ruins, we'd be of great aid" The Big Dude suggested we'd just make good slaves The battle was on and we came out swinging Rys started off with some awesome singing He lit up the imps, but the Dude disappeared The battle was going as bad as he feared Hoj swung at the air and missed the Dude twice Vale shot with his crossbow, his aim was precise The Dude took a bolt and appeared once again Next came a beating from the gang of Fenn's Junibear bit Dude from some ways away Selene used blade singing to join in the fray Mugs sneaked behind and slashed at his back Will peppered Dude with magic arrow attacks Lyrad ensnarrowed and said something cruel "Learn to use your crossbow you big, stupid fool" Imps came to his rescue and poisoned some friends And Rys Faerie Fired those imps once again The Dude tried to vanish but Junibear bit His invisibility pretty much quit Our party then landed a flurry of blows And that's when the Big Dude opted to explode I wish that I said that as a metaphor But I really mean that he blew up from his core Abruptly, a fireball's what he became And bathed our whole party in thunder and flame Without their leader the imps were at loss They were not quite sure who would now be their boss Fenn spoke harshly and declared him their lord And that's how he added imps into his hoard
