The Lay of Nikki Sweetbottom

 

Far to the south and east there lies

      Fair Luiren of mirth and shimmering light

A land of halflings strong of heart

      And obedient to Yondalla’s might

 

So from this land fair Nikki does come

      Stoic, reserved, and just

Her true mission known only to her and her clan

      But she admits only to wanderlust

 

For the Devout Voice of Yondalla in Beluir did call

      For Nikki to travel north

And root out the evil entrenched there within

      And prove her faith follows due course

 

Far does she travel and much she does learn

      Of the ways of races most strange

But all who know her find fear disappears

      And strength to battle creatures deranged

 

Her companions she holds dear to her heart

      Even the stout dwarf despite his nose pickin’

They have proved their mettle against dragons and the like

      Thanks to their strength and a sorceress’ chicken

 

And a rogue who worships the wood

      Yet whittles his foes to meet his fancy

Nikki shakes her head to understand the ways of her friends

      And smiles at the brave songs from Clancy

 

So the adventure begins and let all evil fear

      Nikki and her companions enter foul lairs and dungeons alike

Treasure, fame, songs and magic abound

      And Hin Paladin of the Two Swords will strike
