Well, needless to say, the bards got to talking amongst themselves one fine night, and decided that certain ones of their customers had not been tipping well enough to suit. So they decided to form a rampaging gang of bards. They all went and rumaged through their bags and found a sheng for each, then they walked through the great cities of the realms to find a mark. They found one in Oceania, near a castle. It turned out to be a lizard by the name of Kazadorn.
Three of the bards began to play their shengs, causing the poor lizard-man to fall into a deep intoxicated state. So deep in fact, that he didn't notice that two of his maces were swiped, and that he was not in very good shape until he started dropping his things all about the room. Eventually he finally realized something was happening when one of the bards punched him quite hard in a particular soft spot. The tale ends with that lizard chanting 'Aztak Pacificus.'
This should bear warning to all who hear, that the bards are not satisfied with what little compensation sent their way. Tip them well or you might incur the wrath of a gang of upset bards as made possible by Article 5.1.32 of the Bard's Union Agreement. |
