| + | * __The Ballad of Thistle' | ||
| + | * - | ||
| + | * Corlan, Oktar, Lan and Able | ||
| + | * Are the heroes of this fable | ||
| + | * Once before they trod this path | ||
| + | * And how return to vent their wrath | ||
| + | * Better skilled with knowledge shared | ||
| + | * The demon lord will not be spared. | ||
| + | * That’s what The Raven saw. | ||
| + | * - | ||
| + | * Across the broken bridge they crept | ||
| + | * Path and doorway, both unkept | ||
| + | * Then striding proudly through the halls | ||
| + | * They found the goblin birthing stalls | ||
| + | * Then the chambers of man | ||
| + | * From a local, wealthy, clan. | ||
| + | * That’s what The Raven saw. | ||
| + | * - | ||
| + | * Then the baying hounds from hell, | ||
| + | * With fearful, frightful, echoed yell. | ||
| + | * The battle raged both long and hard | ||
| + | * As they battled passed this fearsome guard. | ||
| + | * Though ants and flame and mighty arm | ||
| + | * Kept the heroes safe from harm. | ||
| + | * That’s what The Raven saw. | ||
| + | * - | ||
| + | * Then in the cells a wicked find | ||
| + | * A halfling captive, was confined | ||
| + | * Broken, beaten, nearly dead | ||
| + | * Her clothing ripped, and bare a shred | ||
| + | * But tender care, the party gave | ||
| + | * And offered help to this ex-slave | ||
| + | * That’s what The Raven saw. | ||
| + | * - | ||
| + | * Then deep inside that cursed isle | ||
| + | * Our heroes moved in single file | ||
| + | * Another, came up from behind, | ||
| + | * Robyn, with a single mind, | ||
| + | * Joined the small, rampaging throng | ||
| + | * Became a part of heroes song. | ||
| + | * That’s what The Raven saw. | ||
| + | * - | ||
| + | * Chamber flood from broken wall | ||
| + | * Birthed a monster, and close call | ||
| + | * Crab within a golden helm | ||
| + | * Threatened there to overwhelm | ||
| + | * Until our heroes sent its soul | ||
| + | * To pay its final, lifelong, toll. | ||
| + | * That’s what The Raven saw. | ||
| + | * - | ||
| + | * A pile of coins called sacrifice | ||
| + | * So Robyn paid the asking price | ||
| + | * The temple, cursed in demons name | ||
| + | * Bore an altar all aflame | ||
| + | * With scarce a moment to reflect | ||
| + | * The demon rose, it’s rage unchecked. | ||
| + | * That’s what The Raven saw. | ||
| + | * - | ||
| + | * Oktar with his powerful spell | ||
| + | * And Robyn used his blade to quell. | ||
| + | * Lan and Able sought surprise | ||
| + | * while Corlan conjured to chastise | ||
| + | * The demon fought with claw and tooth, | ||
| + | * But it was slain in name of truth. | ||
| + | * That’s what The Raven saw. | ||
| + | * - | ||
| + | * The battle won, the demon gone | ||
| + | * Our heroes left with great aplomb | ||
| + | * Back to Sandpoint’s Rusty Dragon | ||
| + | * There to lift a welcome flagon | ||
| + | * Hoping then for restful day | ||
| + | * With the chance to sing and play | ||
| + | * That’s what the Raven saw. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Written as a mini-saga extolling the heroic actions of the party, while clearing out a Goblin nest, just outside the town of Sandpoint | ||
