Strange Rescue

            Our Lady of Paladins had a quest

            So She sought six of the best,

            A mighty sword from the past,

            A suit of armour that must last

            All went down by Keron Isle

            Now with creatures totally vile.

            Roughish Marday, the Captain bold,

            Led them bravely just for gold

            With winds both fair and true

            Fair and square he led them too,

            Across seas both broad and wide

            To Garvin Bay where trout abide.

            Deep in the woods there was a pool

            Maiden Torran, whose nobodies fool,

            Just with grass and apple and mint

            And many kind words quite without stint

            A pure white horse try to befriend

            There gained a mighty winged friend.

            Looking here and looking there

            Eating this and eating that

            Into the woods Thabron went

            Running here and running there

            Voiding this and voiding that

            Into the woods Thabron went.

            Maggots swarm the Sorkin mountains

            Without beauty and crystal fountains

            Enemies of Men and Dwarves and Elves

            Humanoids that mainly eat themselves

            Gargun small and many, all totally vile,

            Or large and few, quite without style.

            The mighty man of magic, Frost,

            Kept his head when all was lost

            The gallant captain he did save

            When the Gargun gave close shave

            Out of the frying pan into the fire

            Many was the Gargun that did expire.

            Steadfast Paladin Othar D’Thay

            Sought to hold an Auto de Fe

            Many a foe did disembowel

            Hideous Gargun small and foul

            But the chieftain was no fool

            And refused the offer to a duel.

            Gargun here and Gargun there

            Singing this and singing that

            Into the rocks Daniel went

            Climbing here and climbing there

            Writing this and drawing map

            Up the rocks Daniel went.

            To far Azadmere did they see

            And many birds far and free

            Lake Larain all blue and fey

            Six white birds were far away

            Far below the woods were hot

            But the Gargun saw them not.

            Trapped they sat on mountain top

            There remained and got a shock

            Six white birds were six winged horses

            Come from afar to join forces

            Through the air they swiftly flew

            Six staunch friends brave and true.

            Oh maiden Torran’s noble deed

            Gained the aid of a winged steed

            Who then returned with salvation

            Released them all from that station

            But what a shame and a pest

            They mostly failed Our Lady’s quest.

            Flying here and flying there

            Soaring here and diving there

            Into the air they all went

            Flying here and flying there

            Diving here and soaring there

            Into the air they all went.
