The Fiter Song
Thrassus struggles with his rolaren wire tube.
Thrassus says in Elven, "I shall have a word with a gnome or two about this when I get back aboard the ship."
Aeillien says, "With some time, I am sure I could limb distrupt the hand, Thrassus"
Thrassus grumbles.
Titaniia says, "good gods, that is a strange lookin dog."
(Titaniia stares at the lemur.)
Soulpieced asks, "What?"
Soulpieced peers quizzically at Titaniia.
Soulpieced says, "It's a monkey silly"
Soulpieced gives Titaniia a little prod between the shoulder blades.
The golden-eyed lemur looks up at you intelligently.
Ughsplat says, "Uggie tinks it look likes a sammwich waitin ta happen"
Titaniia says, "Then it be th' strangest lookin monkey I ever seen too."
Titaniia says, "What we need now is Lylia an' a barrel."
Latronicus begins chuckling at Titaniia.
Latronicus says, "funniest thing I ever saw"
Aeillien asks, "What use would that serve?"
Titaniia says, "Never ever put a sign on somethin that says "doan open this" in front of Lylia"
Zacciwie tests his tambourine with a gentle thump, then raises his head with a smile and begins a rapid beat.
Mustafo asks, "now why yua gota pull out a tamborine and give Tani ideas and all?"
Titaniia asks, "tambourine?"
Mustafo says, "ah hell"
Witcheaven groans.
Witcheaven exclaims, "Mustafo!"
Titaniia says, "Oh, that be right. I is givin Zacciwie lessons."
Soulpieced removes a haon-framed tambourine decorated with brightly colored silken ribbons from in his alloy mesh cloak.
Titaniia says, "Mine is much prettier then yers."
Titaniia nods to Soulpieced.
Soulpieced says, "Mine's 100 times more expensive"
Soulpieced pokes Titaniia in the ribs.
Titaniia snorts.
Titaniia says, "That's cause you aint as talented an' ya need it."
Soulpieced begins a musical chant...
Soulpieced skillfully weaves another verse into his harmony, directing the
sound of his voice at Titaniia.
Titaniia falls to the ground in a deep slumber.
Witcheaven asks, "Have you tried pushing that tube?"
Titaniia shakes off the effects of the lullabye.
Soulpieced pulls Titaniia to her feet.
Titaniia blinks.
You say, "He's tried everything."
You say, "We're going to cut his hands off next."
Witcheaven says, "Oh, that'd be nice."
Titaniia says, "Just fer that I is gonna hafta abuse Juspera."
Soulpieced says, "Oh, please don't do that"
Soulpieced stares off into space.
You glance at Titaniia.
You bite your lip.
(Titaniia whacks Juspera on the back of her head with her tambourine.)
Poor baby!
(Juspera rubs her head and scowls at Titaniia.)
Titaniia says, "oo..th' fiter song."
(Witcheaven clamps her hands back onto her ears.)
Titaniia says, "I guess I could sing..since ya wants me to."
(Titaniia raises her tambourine and starts banging it against her mithril armor until the din is overpowering.)
Titaniia says, "As ya all know..."
Titaniia says, "I only knows one song..."
Titaniia waves a massive pink tambourine hung with flawed topaz-inset fraying and faded orange ribbons around.
Titaniia says, "It be th' fiter song, by Mojo Tremelos.."
Titaniia sings:
"He makes his way by dint of arms,
But he hasn't got no other charms."
Titaniia sings:
"He swings a sword to smite his foes,
Then tries to parry monster blows."
Titaniia sings:
"He hides himself in suit of steel.
Sorcery he thinks unreal."
(Witcheaven glances at Titaniia in utter horror and runs down the steps.)
(Titaniia bangs her tambourine happily against Juspera's head.)
Titaniia sings:
"He lacks in all the social graces.
Wants to kill all those he faces."
Titaniia waves a massive pink tambourine hung with flawed topaz-inset fraying and faded orange ribbons around.
Titaniia sings:
"Subtlety's an art he lacks.
Makes his point with mighty whacks."
Titaniia sings:
"Self-control he cannot wield.
Relieves himself right in the field."
(Titaniia bangs the tambourine against the porch railing so that the entire structure sways.)
Titaniia sings:
"But when the going gets too rough,
'Gainst foes with swords and other stuff,
I look around and try to find,
A fighter I can hide behind!"
Thrassus exclaims in Elven, "I can't cover my ears!"
Thrassus attempts to dislodge the tube by shaking it off. Instead he only manages to look like a clumsy chicken flapping its wings with all that flailing around.
Titaniia sings:
"Bards will sing to save the day.
And mages cast the foes away."
Titaniia waves a massive pink tambourine hung with flawed topaz-inset fraying and faded orange ribbons around.
Titaniia sings:
"Clerics raise folks from the dead.
And healers heal that wounded head."
Titaniia sings:
"Rangers help you find the way.
Sorcerers blow your limbs away."
Soulpieced begins a musical chant...
Soulpieced skillfully begins to weave another verse into his harmony.
In response to the piercing, shrill tones of Soulpieced's song, the normal
flow of mana and magic seems to become disrupted.
Titaniia sings:
"Rogues will pick that locked up chest.
But a fighter's just a fightin' mess."
(Titaniia bangs the tambourine against her mithril armor, grinning happily.)
Soulpieced covers his ears.
Soulpieced exclaims, "Renew dangit!"
Titaniia sings:
"But when the going gets too rough,
'Gainst foes with swords and other stuff,
I look around and try to find,
A fighter I can hide behind!"
Soulpieced sings with renewed vigor!
Soulpieced's song continues to disrupt the magic of the area.
Titaniia raises her pink tambourine skyward!
Titaniia sings:
"He gets all dirty in a fight.
Then wanders 'round without a bath.
He prays for mages magic might,
To save his hide from monster's wrath."
Soulpieced exclaims, "Renew!"
Soulpieced sings with renewed vigor!
Soulpieced's song continues to disrupt the magic of the area.
Titaniia sings:
"I changed the cadence, did ya notice?
A fighter says, 'Uh, wotsa cadence?"
(Titaniia bangs the tambourine next to Soulpieced's ear.)
Titaniia sings:
"Just one more verse I've got to sing,
In case a fighter's listening."
Titaniia sings:
"Fighter's don't you take to heart,
The things I've sung about your art.
And please don't let me feel your wrath,
I'm only kidding (about the bath.)
(Titaniia brings the tambourine to a slamming halt against her breastplate and bows deeply.)
You let out a cheer!
Tellian slowly empties his lungs.
Titaniia exclaims, "Thankee!"
Tellian says, "ahhh...finally...it's over"
Titaniia says, "An' that be why they say I is th' most talented bard in th' Landin."
Tellian says, "the sweet embrace of silence..."
Tellian clasps his arms around his knees and rocks back and forth.
You applaud.
(Juspera rubs her head again.)
