///A bard contest where the winner was going to be the new leader of the bards ///take care, this is long, even with trimming Angborn says to Shaya in xyllic: Just enter the stage please, that all can here you. Ebbstone stands up. Rogan smiles softly at Duvessa. Rasek slurs in xyllic: momend of *hic*lence shure! Rasek drinks from a little glass of bonebreaker. Duvessa looks at Rogan. Faramis arrives. Quevven sings in xyllic: I'm Quevven Sunstar, the Battlebard. Faramis sits down to rest a while. The bearded red-haired male human yells in xyllic: I'm Brukus, best brewer in all the land. Rasek falls unconscious. > Shaya enters the stage. Faramis sits up and clambers to his feet. You have entered the Bard's pub 'The Flowing Barrel'. The whole place smells like cedar. The walls are lined with some racks, holding many barrels. In the middle of the room is a huge round table. A big kettle stands in the corner. Under the kettle is a lit fire. The room looks homey and comfortable, feels like a good place to relax. A large brass plaque hangs on the north wall and a chalk board hangs behind the polished pine bar. An old harbour clock rests near the stage at the west end of the hall. A spiral staircase leads up and down. There are four obvious exits: down, north, south, up. A bottle of dragonblood, a clock, a dark beer keg, a dark blue disc, a dwarven beer keg, an elven beer keg, a gnomish beer keg, a lager beer keg and a stout beer keg. Alix is resting here, Angborn, Ankh is sitting at the round wooden table with beautiful carvings, Duvessa is sitting at the round wooden table with beautiful carvings, Ebbstone, Faramis, Isamu, Katarna, Maedhros (surrounded by a shimmering barrier), Melba is sitting at the polished pine bar, Murphy, Nazriel, Quevven, Rasek (unconscious) is sitting at the round wooden table with beautiful carvings, Rogan is sitting at the round wooden table with beautiful carvings, Shaya is sitting at the polished pine bar (standing on the stage), Xanthia is sitting at the polished pine bar, a bearded red-haired male human, a blue-eyed grey-haired male human and a young blond-haired male elf is resting here. > Ebbstone applaudes to Shaya. Katarna nudges Rasek. Shaya shouts in xyllic: can all hear me? Faramis sits down at the polished pine bar. Angborn exclaims in xyllic: Please a moment of silence, please! Katarna nods solemnly to Shaya. The young blond-haired male elf nods solemnly. Rogan yells in xyllic: yo! Shaya smiles friendly. > Shaya sings in xyllic: I dont know the appropiate order, but I think I will declare this Festival for open now. Angborn smiles at Maedhros. Ebbstone says to Shaya in xyllic: go for it! Shaya stands up and leaves the polished pine bar. Shaya bows deeply. Shaya sings in xyllic: I have already made up my mind for the voting. Shaya sings in xyllic: I think we will all listen to the performer and then each who listened may vote. Shaya sings in xyllic: of course not the one who did his performance Shaya sings in xyllic: we will have a range from one to ten, where ten points is the maximum for a gerat performance and one is the minimum > Shaya sings in xyllic: I will count all the votes and make a middle. Shaya sings in xyllic: and if I manage tio do this we will have a winner later. Quevven asks Shaya in xyllic: Shall I start? Angborn sings in xyllic: Well, as we, the Bards, host this festival...I think our non-bardish guests should begin. > Angborn sings in xyllic: If there is any who wants to perform? You shake your head in disagreement. > Shaya shouts in xyllic: the stage is yours. You overhear Irion whispering to Sera in xyllic: Hello Sera, I am glad you did come. Let us have a seat here? The shimmering barrier around Maedhros vanishes. The young blond-haired male elf buys a beer stein. Angborn asks loudly in xyllic: No Non-Bard up for a song or whatever else?! Angborn sings in xyllic: Well, then let the professionals... The young blond-haired male elf shouts in xyllic: GOOOOO! Quevven!!! Quevven looks at his audiance. Quevven whistles appreciatively. Quevven sings in xyllic: Well, people, I am about to tell you a story. It happened several years ago. Quevven sings in xyllic: It has been different times. You will notice by the the people I will mention in my story Quevven sings in xyllic: It is a story about Stormbringer, a legendary sword. Quevven sings in xyllic: Or better about the day it was stolen and eventually retrieved by some brave people. Quevven clears his throat. Quevven takes a deep breath and starts to sing... Quevven sings in xyllic: Listen people, let me tell Quevven sings in xyllic: A story 'bout a blade from hell. Quevven sings in xyllic: A story where so many fell Quevven sings in xyllic: Who fought for this cursed blade. Quevven sings in xyllic: A lady mage both bold and fair Quevven sings in xyllic: With deep blue eyes and golden hair Quevven sings in xyllic: Descended down a sacred stair Quevven sings in xyllic: To get hold of this cursed blade. Quevven sings in xyllic: A plan was set, her mind was made Quevven sings in xyllic: To let her creature take the blade. Quevven sings in xyllic: Its life slowly began to fade Quevven sings in xyllic: As it took hold of this cursed blade. Quevven sings in xyllic: The blade then to the creature said: Quevven sings in xyllic: 'You puny creature, lowly brat, Quevven sings in xyllic: Bring me to your master mad Quevven sings in xyllic: To let me roam this world once more. Quevven sings in xyllic: The mage did hold the blade up high Quevven sings in xyllic: And shouted loud a vict'ry cry. Quevven sings in xyllic: She did not know her end was nigh Quevven sings in xyllic: When she did leave the castle halls. Quevven sings in xyllic: She went then to a sacred place, Quevven sings in xyllic: Attacked a priest without much grace. Quevven sings in xyllic: An undead knight there cut her face Quevven sings in xyllic: And set her free from this cursed blade. Quevven sings in xyllic: The Lord of Murder took the gift. /// the song was disrupted by burps, and Wiffle's inquiries about Melba /// (she was a necromancer) and Wiffle could have simply come to the /// bard contest to find her... Quevven sings in xyllic: He to another place did shift Quevven sings in xyllic: Where he opened a great rift Quevven sings in xyllic: To let his minions guard the blade. Quevven sings in xyllic: While in Padorn a lady stirred. Quevven sings in xyllic: A startled cry and up she reared. Quevven sings in xyllic: The lady learned what most she feared Quevven sings in xyllic: Someone took hold of this cursed blade. Quevven sings in xyllic: She called her comrades quickly, fast. Quevven sings in xyllic: Satais, mages, cler'cs at last Quevven sings in xyllic: They all did join like in the past Quevven sings in xyllic: To go recover this cursed blade. Quevven sings in xyllic: A divination they did do Quevven sings in xyllic: To learn about where to go. Quevven sings in xyllic: Halls of knowledge it did show, Quevven sings in xyllic: The resting place of this cursed blade. Quevven sings in xyllic: To ancient ruins they did go. Quevven sings in xyllic: A mage fell to a demon's blow. Quevven sings in xyllic: There was more than they did know Quevven sings in xyllic: Down in the halls of knowledge. /// well i told him to listen the contest instead :) Wiffle slips in. Quevven sings in xyllic: Guarding this unholy ground. Quevven sings in xyllic: A nightshade died without a sound Quevven sings in xyllic: Near to the halls of knowledge. Quevven sings in xyllic: They reached the halls with every man Quevven sings in xyllic: When lots of shades upon them came.

Quevven sings in xyllic: The heroes they returned again. Quevven sings in xyllic: Thornwald did their standard join. Quevven sings in xyllic: They rushed through demons once again Quevven sings in xyllic: Down to the halls of knowledge. Quevven sings in xyllic: Mandarb fought like a lion bold. Quevven sings in xyllic: Enra none could her control. Quevven sings in xyllic: Worf fought like a loyal soul Absentmindedly Quevven stops singing. Katarna blinks, as if waking from a dream. Angborn applaudes to Quevven. /// some more noise and applaudes You say in xyllic: ends so soon ? You say in xyllic: it just began to get interesting > Katarna asks in xyllic: How did it end? Duvessa smiles at Quevven. Sera looks at the wine. Irion slightly ponders the situation. Shaya asks Quevven in xyllic: maybe you can tell the rest? Irion smiles at Sera. Xanthia smiles curiously at Quevven. Irion looks at the wine. Sera smiles silently. Angborn sings to Quevven in xyllic: Tell us the end, Quevven. Sera agrees with Angborn. Angborn smiles at Quevven. Katarna nods solemnly. You say in xyllic: all knows the end... > The young blond-haired male elf nods wildly. Melba looks at another certain scar. Katarna yells in xyllic: I don't, The young blond-haired male elf sings in xyllic: neither do i You say to Katarna in xyllic: the end is that we sit here :) > Xanthia frowns in xyllic: I don't also. Quevven sings in xyllic: Oh my, now this never happened before.. Katarna grins slightly at you. Ankh says to Quevven in xyllic: It was good until you stopped. Quevven sings in xyllic: Well.. Quevven sings in xyllic: Fela, Tracer with a shield Quevven sings in xyllic: So boldly as they took the field Quevven sings in xyllic: Made their enemies to yield Quevven sings in xyllic: Down in the halls of knowledge.

Quevven sings in xyllic: The nightshade's head it flew so high. Quevven sings in xyllic: Enra pierced the tyrant's eye. Quevven sings in xyllic: In Atlantis they did hear the cry Quevven sings in xyllic: From down the halls of knowledge. > Quevven sings in xyllic: They closed the rift and home they went Quevven sings in xyllic: To celebrate and wounds to tend. Quevven sings in xyllic: The blade was safe to Lonar sent Quevven sings in xyllic: To be locked away once more. Quevven sings in xyllic: Here good people ends my story. Quevven sings in xyllic: The blade is safe once more again. Quevven sings in xyllic: Remember you'll for sure be sorry Quevven sings in xyllic: If you take hold of this cursed blade. Quevven sighs slightly. Quevven bows gracefully. // more applaudes and noise > Murphy shows up its six fingers. <herbseekers> Shaya: hmm, Mystra do you really think your creature should vote? <herbseekers> Mystra: no, he did it on his own ;> You pat Murphy on the head. > Murphy smiles at you. Shaya sings in xyllic: ok, if all voted, the next may continue Shaya smiles. Angborn asks loudly in xyllic: Who wants to be the next? Nazriel says to Alix in xyllic: might i get your name? Irion slightly ponders the situation. Katarna sighs depressively. Maedhros asks Melba in xyllic: Btw, are you here as the judge of songs for this evening, category dark humour? Melba sings to Maedhros in xyllic: perhaps > Melba smiles secretly. Angborn sings to Carenna in xyllic: Everyone may perform...a song, a poem, a story, acrobatics, whatever. Carenna yells in xyllic: I have a story, a bit later. Shaya sings to Carenna in xyllic: the stage is yours Carenna says to Shaya in xyllic: In a bit :) You tap your foot patiently. Katarna yells in xyllic: My song isn't good to be second with. > Carenna lifts her hand, and suddenly a beautiful bouquet of deep lavender violets appears. They burst into flame and disappear as quickly as they appeared. Shaya sings in xyllic: then I would Shaya snickers. Shaya enters the stage. Shaya sings in xyllic: if noone else will Angborn smiles at Shaya. Lashat shouts in xyllic: Go, shaya, go! Maedhros says to Carenna in xyllic: Nice trick! Shaya sings in xyllic: and I will sing a song that I wrote lately after some nice fights at Scara Brae Carenna yells in xyllic: Not real magic :) Shaya sings in xyllic: it is called 'Meet your maker!' Shaya grins broadly. Shaya takes a deep breath and starts to sing... Shaya gets a goblin war drum out of her backpack and drops it in front of her. Shaya clears her throat. Shaya sings in xyllic: If you meet a goblin and don't grab it, Shaya sings in xyllic: It runs away just like a rabbit! Shaya sings in xyllic: And if you run and cut 'em a limb Shaya sings in xyllic: Hear them cry, what a wimp! Shaya gets the drum and hits it! Shaya cries in shakrul: Hey scum, are you cruun to die?

You say in xyllic: about me ? > Dargent looks at you. You drop a bottle. Shaya shouts in xyllic: who will be next? Katarna nods solemnly to you. You say to Katarna in xyllic: i can't sing. my voice is weak > Quevven sings in xyllic: Our lovemaster Quevven points at Angborn. Shaya giggles elvishly... sounds like leaves whispering in the wind. Angborn makes his way through the crowd towards the stage. Angborn enters the stage. > Shaya sings in xyllic: listen to our Masterbard and Lovemaster! Angborn sings in xyllic: a song about a wonderful place in the ancient forest of Elohim and... Quevven sings in xyllic: I give it a 1 Angborn sings in xyllic: ...a place, I think many lovers know about. You listen to Angborn. > Angborn twinkles his eyes roguishly. Shaya pats Quevven on the head. Angborn pats his mandolin rhythmically. Angborn takes a deep breath and starts to sing... Angborn begins to play a sweet melancholy melody on his mandolin. Angborn sings in xyllic: Elohim grove, how graceful, how plainly tis speaking, Angborn sings in xyllic: the harp wind through it playing has language for me. Angborn sings in xyllic: Whenever the light through its branches is breaking Angborn sings in xyllic: a host of kind faces is gazing on me. Angborn sings in xyllic: The friends of my childhood again are before me, Angborn sings in xyllic: each step wakes a memory as freely I roam. Angborn sings in xyllic: With soft whispers laden its leaves rustle o'er me, Angborn sings in xyllic: Elohim grove, Elohim grove alone is my home. Angborn walks across the stage, playing a little solo on his mandolin. Angborn sings in xyllic: Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander Angborn sings in xyllic: when twilight is fading I pensively rove. Angborn sings in xyllic: Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander Angborn sings in xyllic: amid the dark shades of the Elohim grove. Angborn sings in xyllic: Twas there while the blackbird was cheerfully singing Angborn sings in xyllic: I first met that dear one, the joy of my heart. Angborn sings in xyllic: Around us for gladness the bluebells were springing Angborn sings in xyllic: Elohim grove, Elohim grove that shelters my home. Angborn's playing gradually slows down as he continues with a subdued voice. Angborn sings in xyllic: Once my laughter is over, my step loses lightness, Angborn sings in xyllic: old countryside measures steal soft on my ears; Angborn sings in xyllic: I will remember the past and its brightness, Angborn sings in xyllic: the dear ones I mourn for again gather here. Angborn sings in xyllic: From out of the shadows their loving looks greet me, Angborn sings in xyllic: and wistfully searching the leafy green dome, Angborn sings in xyllic: I find other faces fond bending to greet me, Angborn sings in xyllic: Elohim grove, Elohim grove alone is my home. With a solo that gradually fades, Angborn finishes his song. /// applause, voting Lashat sings in xyllic: and as it suits fine now, a song totally out of contest...just for fun Angborn nods wildly to Lashat. Lashat takes a deep breath and starts to sing... Lashat starts playing a solemn melody that sounds like a hymn. Lashat sings in xyllic: Deep in the woods of Elohim Forest Maedhros burps rudely. Lashat sings in xyllic: He wisely rules the land. You overhear Irion whispering to Sera in xyllic: I hope you are enjoying this evening? Lashat sings in xyllic: Sitting on his throne of marble Lashat sings in xyllic: Holding a large sceptre in his hand. Lashat sings in xyllic: Splendid is his appearance Lashat sings in xyllic: And shining are his eyes Lashat sings in xyllic: His crown is made of gold Lashat sings in xyllic: And like the sun it shines. Lashat suddenly changes the melody to a light-hearted tune. Lashat sings in xyllic: But often he drops crown and sceptre Sera nods silently to Irion. Lashat sings in xyllic: And his majesty vanishes at all Lashat sings in xyllic: As he picks up a lute or guitar Lashat sings in xyllic: To sing a song in the bards' hall. Lashat sings in xyllic: He likes to drink a lot of beer Lashat sings in xyllic: And talking to a pretty lady Lashat sings in xyllic: A fellow bard among his friends Lashat sings in xyllic: Who will be king again tomorrow - maybe! With a smile on his face, Lashat stops singing. //applause (of course lashat sung about Angborn) Lashat sings in xyllic: no votes on my song, that was out of contest The blue-eyed grey-haired male human yells in xyllic: Well, honouring the opportunity, I shall also sing a song.

The blue-eyed grey-haired male human pokes the bearded red-haired male human in the ribs. Shaya sings in xyllic: but it was a nice song... Elliasar sings to the blue-eyed grey-haired male human in xyllic: please keep singing! The blue-eyed grey-haired male human says to the bearded red-haired male human in xyllic: Your beverages. Angborn sings to the blue-eyed grey-haired male human in xyllic: yeah, yeah....we know....whenever this hut is empty... The blue-eyed grey-haired male human yells in xyllic: Ok, another one. Carenna sits up and clambers to her feet. You cheer enthusiastically at Carenna. Shaya sings in xyllic: then its Carennas turn? Carenna sits crosslevgged. Carenna yells in xyllic: Okay. Carenna yells in xyllic: A long, long time ago... Carenna yells in xyllic: There was a thief who could steal anything. Carenna yells in xyllic: He stole a suit that a man was wearing, while he walked through Padorn. Carenna yells in xyllic: And she was beautiful, too. Carenna nods wildly. Irion smiles softly. > Carenna yells in xyllic: Anyway... one day, this thief was in the bathhouse in Padorn. Carenna yells in xyllic: It was a hot day, you know how it is. Carenna yells in xyllic: He was just minding his business, and he walked over to the other side of the pool. Carenna yells in xyllic: And said, very friendly, "Hi, little Satai!" Carenna yells in xyllic: "You need any coins?" Carenna yells in xyllic: The little Satai panicked! Carenna panics and looks for a place to hide. Carenna yells in xyllic: He called out on the mental link. Carenna yells in xyllic: ZURCO is here! Carenna yells in xyllic: Help! Carenna yells in xyllic: And the brave, valiant Satai warrior heard his call! Carenna yells in xyllic: Beautiful Lathander! Carenna yells in xyllic: He heard it, he ran, he ran for that bathhouse. Carenna yells in xyllic: He HAD to save his friend from the evil... Carenna shivers. Carenna yells in xyllic: Well, I won't say his name again. Carenna yells in xyllic: But you ALL know who I mean. Carenna yells in xyllic: So, Lathander runs into the bathhouse! Carenna yells in xyllic: And of course, he takes nothing but his towel inside... Carenna yells in xyllic: They won't let you, you know. Carenna yells in xyllic: And Zurco looked at the mighty Lathander. Carenna yells in xyllic: His beauty, his nudity. Carenna yells in xyllic: And he couldn't bear anything hiding that masculine form.
