Chapter 5 Songs and Bunnies
"What is the malted liquor? What gets you drunker quicker? BEER! Can't get enough of it BEER! How we really love it BEER! Makes me feel like a man BEER! I could kiss and hug it! But I'd rather hug it! BEER! BEER! BEER!"
The singing, if one could call it that, would have alerted anything in the area to the approach of the party. Two tone deaf half-orcs and a squeaky gnome sung their hearts out as the drow stubbornly refused to take part in their little hymn. It wasn't that she didn't like the song, she simply thought she was not drunk enough to sing anything.
"But it's a hymn to the all-powerful-beer-giving Makador," said Gosran, the gnome, between verses, "You know he's listening."
"And covering his ears!"
Gosran pouted, but started singing again.
"If Makador himself appears and wishes, I'll sing the song by myself, but 'til then... I haven't had near enough to drink to even considering singing in public."
"We aren't public, "the gmone smiles, thinking he'd trapped the self-conscious elf.
"We're in the woods.. that's close enough..."
"I cannot refuse it! I could really use it BEER! BEER! BEER!"
"All praise Makador!" yelled Swiftmynd.
Ilystial shook her head," Just let everything know we're comin', Swifty. That'll be just great."
Swiftmynd, half-orc high priest of Makador, ignored the drow and started the song from the top. The drow froze in place, seeing something move just to the side of the road. Gosran stopped followed by Wyldflower, who nearly stepped on the gnome. The female half-orc raised her club ready to attack, when a rabbit hopped out from the briars along the roadside. The bunny jumped, dodging the barbarian's club as it smashed down.
"ATTACK BUNNY!!!!" She yelled.
Ilystial stood back, "Yeah, vicious, killer bunnies. Run for your lives! We're all doomed! Makador save us!"
Gosran held the map and dodged Aailk as the little metal thing ran about aimlessly. Ily shook her head again. It was a wonder they managed to get anything done. She began to doubt they would reach the dwarves in time for the contest.
No more killer bunnies attacked or even made their presence known for the rest of the day. Ily was positive the singing had scared everything away. Gosran sat by a pile of firewood loosing his battle with it. It smoked and refused to light for the gnome.
"Lemme try, "Ily moved closer to the smoke pile of wood, Gos moved back knowing the drow's luck with spell casting. She softly chanted and the fire flickered and sprung to life. "It worked!"
Food was caught by Wyldflower and beer summoned by Swiftmynd.
Makador, sat back, after sending his followers the requested beer. They would need help to make it to the drinking contest. Time to pull a few favors, he thought as he rose from his chair, humming the song his followers had sung earlier and left the Hall. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
Sorry it's not longer. I'll do better next time. Now to try and work on one of those other stories...::glares at her plot bat and holds up a bottle of Jolt:: maybe this'll get things moving along. Let me know what ya think so far! Kurai
