There once was a girl named Erai,
Who shot goblins and ghouls 'twixt the eyes,
She's got a fuzzy bear friend,
Monsters' faces he rends,
Her arrows she loves to let fly!

A warrior, a mage, a rogue, and a bard are bragging in a tavern.
The warrior said \"I can kill an ogre with one stroke of my sword!\"
The mage said \"I can kill an ogre with but one spell!\"
The rogue said \"I can kill an ogre before it ever sees it coming.\"
The bard grinned and said \"I can get three idiots to kill an ogre for me.\"

Raziel, Qwyndeth, and Art,
Went fighting undead in the dark.
They bashed countless foes,
Skeletons, ghouls, and ghastly shadows,
Soon, to another place they'll embark!

A Yuan-Ti once said to another,
"Why, for these necklaces should we bother?"
Said the other, "Know not I,"
"For we'll surely all die,"
"Adventurers kill to have them recovered!"

A dwarf, two men, and a hin,
Walked with meaning to the Raven's Watch Inn.
What started as dice,
Ended with a cheater on ice,
And we recovered the bauble within.

This is the tale of Frank Edward, the Strong,
Who defeated the Ogre King and his Ogre throng.
Greataxe in hand, he met every beast,
With each flash of steel, another deceased.
Battlecry roared, he challenged each foe,
Bones breaking, blood spilling, with every blow.
And so, his assault thus ending in rout,
He's stronger than Ogres, of this, there's no doubt.

Harry, Arthur, and Elor stormed into the tomb,
Crushing skeletons and ghouls left and right.
We defeated each challenge in every room,
Undaunted by the things of the night.
Entering a chamber of no outward import,
We were visited with a host of unusual sort.
Three spirits from beyond had with us a chat,
And told us our lives were forfeit should we not turn back.
Ignoring their warning, we pressed further through,
Each monster falling quickly beneath our shoe.
Oh hubris! Oh arrogance! Oh ego! So vain!
As we stepped down those stairs we knew not what we began.
The host of the tomb gave us a rather rude greeting,
Which quickly enough became a sure solid beating.
Defeated, battered, slaughtered, and drained,
We escaped with barely our lives, though our spirits were stained.
Take this solemn warning, should you enter the crypt,
Bring many strong friends, lest your bottom be whipped.

Said we (three and me) to the ogre company,
"Leave now, hastily, lest we defeat thee (effortlessly),
and quickly, shall you see your patron deity."
Said they to me (haughtily), "'Tis thee I pity, verily,
Ogres be, undeniably, rather mighty. Come fight me,
As it pleases thee, but I foresee you would be
Outmatched, you see, should you bandy with me."
Said we to he, the ogrish authority, "Surely,
Your decree, that your victory be destiny, be whimsy,
For we three, plus he, are unmatched martially,
And certainly, assuredly, will not be the party
that will soonly see eternity, if you're following me."
Inevitably, our rivalry ended with ogres in casualty,
So you see, ogres should be wary of our company of warriors three (and me)!

One night as we walked we conspired,
Contemplated visiting the Drakamyre.
Combat, treasure, and glory, we desired,
All at the hand of the fiendish vampires.

Though no vampires were actually found,
We descended deeper, hearing a sound -
As of some terrible, diabolical hound
Baying for blood; we had found Devil Town.

The monsters were red, had sinister wings,
And launched fireballs, among other things.
We fought for our lives, (and for treasure and rings)
Of our mighty heroes, I am compelled to sing.

Lana's illusions were very near real;
Frank Edward felled villains with each flash of steel!

Spike's clenched fists broke many a bone;
Gloin's powerful spells left many fiends prone.

And I was there, merely to see,
The heroic deeds of my company.

We pressed deeper on, into the lair,
Knowing not what we'd find there.
An unholy group, they chanted their prayer,
Beckoned a fiend to appear from nowhere.

From out of the depths crawled the villain "Azuul,"
Thinking our little band merely fools,
He laughed, and he thought himself cruel,
He was not prepared for that evening's duel.

With powerful spell and heroic blow,
The monster Azuul was finally brought low,
With his dying breath, he shouted out "No!
I never should have fought such powerful foes!"

And so it was done, we searched the compound,
Shared all the baubles and gold we had found,
Made ready to go, and turned around,
Said our Goodbyes, we'd see each other around.
