Retelling

After the fight, Juniper was quite cross Her bear picked up Gym and gave him a rough toss Over to Hoj, and said "this one's all yours" "I'm heading off to go loot me a corpse" "I just got free, fighting's not meant for me" Was the excuse proffered by poor Gymothee "I swear that I'd never seen such an attack" "There's little I could have done to have your back" We found us some treasure and also a note "Dispose of Kelv quickly" is what someone wrote The letter smelled acrid and had a bad scent And then back to Edge Cliff is where we all went We gathered up Edard, still waiting of course And Juniper summoned a great breed of horse We went back to Rampart and entered that town But Mugs and our Druid failed to keep their lunch down They threw up some worms and Hoj burned them to ash Around came some guards and some questions they asked Apparently what our two friends had was plague Though the guard's medical knowledge seemed awfully vague Juniper opted to change to a bird And on the guards' shoulders deposited turds They summoned a healer or maybe a priest Though about all these details, this bard cared the least Vale and the sun dude spoke at quite a length About lots of things such as Vale's healing strength Juniper seemed like she was quite disturbed So all over the sun dude, she dropped some more turds Back to the Walden we quickly returned And told the Treemother all that we had learned And while we all feasted, were healed, and were cleaned Treemother explained all about quarantine The afflicted had worms, maybe one, maybe two But out of the body those wormies burst through And then they would wriggle about and would fight Anyone close enough that they could bite Our party was wondering what we should do next When Treemother told Rys that something had her vexed It seemed that the townsfolk were spreading some hype About some new bard who rocked out on bagpipes Rys seemed dismissive and quite unconcerned About this new rival of whom he'd just learned But deep in his heart, the bard felt abject fear That some other bard might derail his career The party decided to rest and to shop Before we decided about our next stop And so we all split up the spoils from our fights And went off to shop before resting that night
