Another Bard's Tale
« on: July 04, 2010, 07:36:12 am »

OOC: I just found the Bard's Tale Soundtrack around here and got inspired by it. So i decided to tell another Bard's Tale. As you will soon realize our tale begins right after the happenings of the Game. But let our Storyteller ,who we could persuade to work for us again, tell the story.

Storyteller:No please! Not another book. Please i never wanted to read this horrible stories again!

Unkown Voice: Oh yes you will do it or you know what happens! Do you really want that?

Storyteller:*sigh* Very well then. So you would like to hear a new story?

As we all very much expected, our Bard has chosen the short cut and left the head druid and the daemon princess in their squabbles, to engage into more...entertaining pursuits. Namely partying with his undead companions...

And as propably most of you expected our Hero's decisions soon came to haunt him. The few surviving people of the several towns hunted him through the charred remains of what was once the Orkney's and so our hero had to disappear from the stages of this ruined land.

Luckily the vikings of Finstown proved quite the help he needed. In exchange for songs and entertainment, and maybe *cough* another feat like that in Finstown *cough* they agreed to take our hero away from this accursed lands.


Yeah,Yeah,Yeah,skip that part and come to the point!

Stop rushing me im trying to build up the atmosphere!

Atmosphere, yes, as we wouldn't have enough hot air around here!

and so our Bard ended up on the ship of the vikings leaving the Orkney Islands behind to search for new lands to devastate and plunge into chaos

You know that this is not very encouraging? And anyways I didn't want to have anything to...

Very well! And so our Bard ended up on the ship of the vikings leaving the Orkney Islands beind to search for new lands to gain fame and honor!

You mean ale and women!

*sigh* Yes. Ale and women.

You know it would be a quite better story if you weren't sounding so pissed off.

Oh shut up you...!

To whom are you talking to?

Speaking of vikings...

Um no one...in particular

You know that your a strange one bard? Anyway my men are slowly dying of boredom...

And why should that concern me?

*raucous laughter* you are a funny one bard.*sigh* I want you to play a song to keep those guys moving...

What do you do now Bard?


OOC: so that's the intro of the story im trying to set up here. Its your decision what our Hero is going to do. But first i need some questions answered:

Is my style of writing ok?
Should i keep this kind of dialogue form between the Sotryteller and the Bard or should I kick the Storyteller out?
More or less Sarcasm?

You really can both sig it.
But... That would break the laws of sigging! We can't have everyone running around with the same quotes. IT MAKES THEM UNFUNNY FASTER!

Oh god. THAT game! :D

The Narrator/Elder God(Soul Reaver 1&2, LOK Defiance)/Time Guardian(Blood Omen)/Megabyte was one of my favorite voice actors. It's a shame he's dead. :(

>Play that Sea Shanty that crazy old Sailor taught us several years ago. What did he call it? "Come the Leviathan"? Yeah, I think that was it.

:D

OOC: From whom is "come the Leviathan"? I couldn't find it on youtube....

Summon a rat. Summon A RAT! Are you insane? The last time i did that i was forced to do some epic quest...

...thank.. you? And so our Bard quickly ventured through his mind to find an appropiate song for his brutish companions....

A.K.A. Give me some input! Youre not supposed to sit around and only read...

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

BEER BEER BEER, Tiddily BEER BEER BEER...

Oh long time ago, way back in history, when all we had to drink was nothing but cups of tea...
Along came a man, by the name of Charlie Mops, and he invented a wonderful drink and made it out of Hops....

OH HE must have been an Admiral, a Sultan or a King. And to his Praises we shall always sing.
Look what he has done for us, he's filled us all with cheer. Lord Bless Charile Mops, the man who invented,

BEER BEER BEER, Tiddily BEER BEER BEER...

On the subject of "Come the Leviathon", I made up that whole bit. The idea being that it's a new song the Bard has never played, that he learned off camera. It summons the Leviathon. He's on a boat. Tragity ensues.

And so our Bard was suddenly struck by the muses.

Well you cant actually call guys muses... but don't look a gift horse in the mouth

Very well so the Bard was more or less literally struck by the inspiration of our dear readers and began to play:

The Booze song

Needlss to say that in mere seconds the whole Viking crew began to send themselves into a drunken stupor, through the means of all grabbable alcoholic beverages on the ship. Much to the dismay of the viking captain and our bard, both expecting to get away as fast as possible from the Orkneys.

Yer lunatic idiot! do you know what you have done? I hope you have something here to clean this mess!

Well actually yes i have one! Calm down Big Boy! I learned it somewhere near Loch Ness frm an old sailor:

Here come the Leviathan!

what our Hero didn't expect was that the song he learned from that crazy old drunken guy, was actually a magical one. As always it ended quite unwell for the bard... The sea suddenly began to calm. It lay completely still. The fish, normally following it for that what the vikings threw away seemed to have vanished, and even theboat seemed to have stoppe groaning....

OK! THATS ENOUGH YER BASTARD! WHAT HAVE YE DONE?

Um...i...thought some silence was great?

YOU FRIGGIN...

And thus ends the last words of our viking lord before he and the half of the boat ended in the mouth of a giant monster. THe shipped was ripped apart and instantly began to sink...is this the, hopefully, end of the story?

If you let me friggin die...!


EDIT: as i read that again it sounds horrible...shall i really continue this im ashamed for writing such crap together....
