Camris Lindar: When The Ale Runs Out
Camris Lindar: by ChrisLeif
Camris Lindar: I woke up this morning, trying to get up,
Camris Lindar: I've quite a headache, reach for my cup,
Camris Lindar: I look in horror, with a disbelieving blink,
Camris Lindar: I've just discovered, I'm all out of drink.
Camris Lindar: CHORUS
Camris Lindar: What do you do when you run out of ale?
Camris Lindar: Do you cry, sigh, yell, or turn pale?
Camris Lindar: What do you do when you run out of ale?
Camris Lindar: You run to the tavern and drink down another!
Camris Lindar: Just finished fighting, some bragging, too,
Camris Lindar: And as hot as it is, I'm beginning to stew.
Camris Lindar: My throat is so dry, I'm dying of thirst,
Camris Lindar: But my opponent has beaten me and drank it all first!
Camris Lindar: CHORUS
Camris Lindar: I'm now hearing stories, poets, and song,
Camris Lindar: I never realized it would take so long!
Camris Lindar: Still I stand attentive, my goblet in hand,
Camris Lindar: But it's just like me, dry as the land!
Camris Lindar: CHORUS
Camris Lindar: What do you do when you run out of ale?
Camris Lindar: Do you cry, sigh, yell, or turn pale?
Camris Lindar: What do you do when you run out of ale?
Natalya: ask Nat for some wine?
Camris Lindar: You run to the tavern and drink down another!
Bullseye Bill: now thats devotion,goblet still in hand
Rhiannon: aye
JD The Good: Woot Woot
Camris Lindar: They're still telling stories, but it's now late at night.
Camris Lindar: The fire's died low and I'm seeing this sight.
JD The Good: 1123
Camris Lindar: Everyone's sleeping, but I'm burning mad,
Camris Lindar: Because after searching, there's no ale to be had!
Camris Lindar: CHORUS
Camris Lindar: I'm falling fast now, into deep sleep and trance,
Camris Lindar: And the last thing I remember that catches my glance,
Camris Lindar: Is my empty old tankard from which flows never a drop,
Camris Lindar: Will someone please make my aleless dreams stop!
Camris Lindar: CHORUS
Camris Lindar: What do you do when you run out of ale?
Camris Lindar: Do you cry, sigh, yell, or turn pale?
Camris Lindar: What do you do when you run out of ale?
Camris Lindar: You run to the tavern and drink down another!

Dimrost: On a crisp cool september night
Dimrost: much like this one
Dimrost: A mighty adventurer was traveling on his trusty steed
Dimrost: from moonglow
Dimrost: to brittania
Dimrost: he could sense something was wrong.
Dimrost: there was a think fog in the air and no signs of life anywhere
Natalya: *shivers*
Dimrost: as he continued down the path
Dimrost: the night plunged deeper and deeper into darkness with every step he took
Calista: *swallows*
Sabrina: *shivers*
Dimrost: he was nearly to the bridge
Dimrost: when suddenly out of nowhere
Dimrost: a ghastly figure appeared
Dimrost: wrapped in a tattered white shroud
Natalya: *hic*

Camris Lindar: Absent Friends
Camris Lindar: by Bill Sutton
Camris Lindar: Once more we've come together,
Camris Lindar: the way we have for years
Camris Lindar: To sing our songs in circles
Camris Lindar: and to share our joy and tears.
Camris Lindar: And once more when our voices raise
Camris Lindar: the undertone has changed,
Camris Lindar: Again the chorus of our lives
Camris Lindar: is harshly rearranged.
Camris Lindar: The notes we sing are beautiful
Camris Lindar: but somehow slightly wrong
Camris Lindar: For another note is missing from the song.
Camris Lindar: So we hug each other closely,
Camris Lindar: tell tales into the night.
Camris Lindar: We sing the songs we used to sing,
Camris Lindar: we try to make it right.
Camris Lindar: We sing the songs of sorrow
Camris Lindar: and we sing the songs of pain
Camris Lindar: Then we sing the songs of laughter
Camris Lindar: and we start to smile again.
Camris Lindar: We raise a hymn to Absent Friends
Camris Lindar: who were not with us long
Camris Lindar: When another note is missing from the song.
Camris Lindar: BRIDGE:
Camris Lindar: We sing away the evening
Camris Lindar: and we sing until the dawn.
Camris Lindar: The harmony is diff'rent
Camris Lindar: but the melody goes on ...
Camris Lindar: For it's only our own loneliness
Camris Lindar: that drives us into fear.
Camris Lindar: We know that they still sing with us,
Camris Lindar: though we have no ears to hear.
Camris Lindar: They sing to us of friendship
Camris Lindar: and the joy that we still share,
Camris Lindar: That every time the circle grows,
Camris Lindar: their voices will be there.
Camris Lindar: And their love will find its echoes
Camris Lindar: when a new voice comes along
Camris Lindar: And another note is added to the song.
Camris Lindar: Yes, the chorus swells with gladness
Camris Lindar: as the circle rolls along
Camris Lindar: And another note is added to the song.
Leeda: *claps*
Calista: *claps quietly*
Natalya: *claps loudly*

Dimrost: Two new players were walking through britain lich fields
Dimrost: but something was wrong here
Dimrost: there were no liches
Dimrost: just ruins
Dimrost: more and more ruins
Dimrost: the two adventurers decided to look for liches
Dimrost: further east and west
Dimrost: so they split up
Dimrost: one adventurer had gone way to the left
Dimrost: and the other way to the right
Dimrost: these two adventurers werent the smartest
Dimrost: they hadn't left any trail or any sign on how to get back
Dimrost: to the middle of the fields
Dimrost: so they soon were both lost
Dimrost: suddenly
Dimrost: there was a loud ghost=like shriek
Dimrost: even though they had searched all through the forest
Dimrost: neither of them
Dimrost: had any idea where the terrible sound came from
Dimrost: one of the adventurers was stumbling backwards and tripped over a log
Dimrost: he then fell in a lost mineshaft was what it appeared to be
Dimrost: he looked around
Dimrost: and terror filled his body
Dimrost: all around him
Dimrost: were the remains
Dimrost: of past adventurers
Dimrost: the other adventurer became worried
Dimrost: he was out of recalls
Dimrost: he couldn't use the help menu
Dimrost: and he didnt know how to open the map
Dimrost: ...
Dimrost: he began shouting and looking for the other adventurer
Dimrost: he turned around and started running the other way
Dimrost: he then heard the sound again
Dimrost: but before he could listen to where it was coming from
Dimrost: he tripped over the severed head of his fellow adventurer
Natalya: ewwww
Rhiannon: ooo
Rhiannon: yuhky'
Natalya: *gags*
Dimrost: now completely terrified he was screaming and running around franticly
Dimrost: looking for anyone who could help
Dimrost: but there was no sign of anyone
Dimrost: he ran and ran and ran
Dimrost: until he spotted
Dimrost: a think blade layer of mist
Dimrost: he could see the silhoutee of a monster
Dimrost: not just any monster
Dimrost: a lich
Rhiannon: oooo
Dimrost: he screamed in horror
Dimrost: turned around and ran the other way
Dimrost: but it was too late
Dimrost: he was very laggy and the lich had caught up to him
Dimrost: he feared it was the same lich
Dimrost: who had killed his friend
Dimrost: the lich then turned around
Dimrost: casted explo and flamestrike
Rhiannon: ooo
Dimrost: but not on the adventurer
Rhiannon: nasty combo
Dimrost: on the harpy behind him
Dimrost: the lich then leaned forward and said
Dimrost: How do you get out of lich form?
Dimrost: hehe!

Camris Lindar: A maiden elf espied he.
Camris Lindar: He clambered up an ancient tree,
Camris Lindar: And came down most untidy.
Camris Lindar: There were broken branches all around;
Camris Lindar: 'Twas said to be storm or some disease.
Camris Lindar: Well, take another look around--
Camris Lindar: 'Cause elves do it in the trees!
Camris Lindar: CHORUS:
Camris Lindar: Elves do it in the trees;
Camris Lindar: Elves do it in the breeze;
Camris Lindar: Elves do it where they please;
Camris Lindar: Elves do it in the trees!
Camris Lindar: A maid was walking in the field
Camris Lindar: And saw an elf a-dancing,
Camris Lindar: And such great powers he did wield
Camris Lindar: That they commenced romancing.
Camris Lindar: He laid her down in a great oak tree,
Camris Lindar: And lured her with his wiles.
Camris Lindar: So great was that maid's ecstacy
Camris Lindar: She could be heard for miles!
Camris Lindar: CHORUS
Camris Lindar: Elves do it in the trees;
Camris Lindar: Elves do it in the breeze;
Camris Lindar: Elves do it where they please;

Camris Lindar: Of a group of naked elven nymphs,
Camris Lindar: And he did fall within their spell.

Camris Lindar: And so entertained him in the trees.

Camris Lindar: He got so chaffed between the knees.

Camris Lindar: A woodman's wife was snaring game
Camris Lindar: Deep within a stand of spruce;
Camris Lindar: By the dozen, elf-lads came,
Camris Lindar: And so she found herself seduced.
Camris Lindar: She came home late from that task
Camris Lindar: And met her husband by the hut.
Camris Lindar: "Seen ya any squirrels?" he ask.
Camris Lindar: "No," she said, "but lots of nuts."
