Disturbing Demon Dealings

- Retelling
- The audience cheered
And they hollered and whooped
And Rys was all smiles
Though he was quite pooped
And then on the stage
Spread a light cloud of fog
And a hush hit the crowd
As they stared all agog
A light-blue skinned Teifling
Sat upon a stool
And did a great job of
Of just keeping her cool
And then droned her bagpipes
And calmly she played
And quietly wrapped the whole
Tavern stayed
Emotions ran deep
And some tears gently shed
As thoughts of those gone
Passed through everyones' heads
Then Riann read a "small verse"
And Rys was confused
By all of the big words
The Tiefling had used
But then Riann started
A most jaunty song
Which got the crowd up
And dancing along
The party went on
For a quite a long span
Until all the dancers
Could now barely stand
And so Riann vanished
And the crowd headed home
And a man named Bombadier
Got Rys alone
And asked him to dinner
Along with Riann
And Rys was ecstatic
About that whole plan
A note from Riann
Said to come to her place
So Rys and the crew
Went to meet face to face
It turned out Riann's
Was Will's old abode
We didn't know what
That exactly forbode
Riann took us in
As she popped off her horns
"A Tiefling earns more"
She said with no scorn
She seemed quite a fan
Of Rys and his crew
And also quite nervous
And unsure what to do
She seemed then swoon
Right there in our midst
And that's when our night
Seemed to take quite a twist
Riann had awoke,
No longer distressed
Because now Bolgrana
Had her body possessed
Bolgrianna opted to
Re-don the horns
And laughed as we all
Gazed at her with some scorn
"Some of our contracts
I'd like to amend
Without my help
Rampart you cannot defend"
"Some devils are coming
To destroy the tree
It contains something
like divinity
Some Divestors want
Power as much as my god
And they'll just steam roll over
Your pathetic squad"
We argued and haggled
And debated a lot
But when it comes to contracts
Lawyers we are not
It was Juniper's contract
That needed new terms
And we all knew the Tree
Was important to her
And so our fair druid
Opted to free
Bolgrana to help protect
The dear Watchertree
And so now a demon
Would wander around
In the pretense of keeping
Us all safe and sound
Rianna awoke as
Bolgrana did leave
And we spun a few lies
That she seemed to believe
Then we left for the Walden
To rest and recoup
After a night like tonight
The whole party was pooped
