Slaver's Defeat
(by Damalanthas Quithas)

It was a fine morning to have a spring fair,
For freedom from elves just rang in the air.
The people were joyous, and rightly should be,
For great are the blessings in truly being free.

We passed by a seeress -- our fortunes she told,
While she, at the same time, emptied our pockets of gold.
She told of a good day with hope in the air,
Followed by events of death and despair.

It was at an auction for magic items of old,
That we, supposedly, to the slavers were sold.
But it was just a ruse for the safety of the town,
We would rescue all, and bring the slavers down.

Deep in the forest, bard, warrior and mage,
Set the townsfolk free from their prisoners' cage.
With valiant heroics and swordplay supreme,
With magic of power, we rose in esteem.

A mighty barbarian, a sword in each hand,
Cleft heads from shoulders with sweeps mighty and grand.
An elven swashbuckler, with feather in hat,
Made men two feet shorter before they fell flat.

A mage in grand robes unchained the great band,
He assaulted the foe, spells sparking from hands.
An illusionist of power followed close behind,
Flames sprang from his hands even though he was blind.

Another there was, who sprang through the trees,
In the guise of a slaver, he set people free.
Heroes of great valour, they fought well and hard,
And now are immortalized in the song of the bard.
