#1747, "New Bardsong: "Pangs of Hunger""


          

OK, this idea is lifted from Falstaff. I found poetry with a quick web search so a bit more time may result in better lyrics.

*********
Song: Pangs of Hunger

Effects:
When sung in a tavern room, the Bard will receive either food (bread or soup) or ale.

Cost: 10 mana.

Purpose: Adds RP flavor to a travelling minstrel "working" for his food and drink. More limited than "create food" because it can only work in a tavern area.

Lyrics:
The pangs of hunger drove me from my home;
with no idea of where to go
I travelled on for miles
until I reached a village,
knocked on the nearest door,
blurted out some clumsy words.

The owner understood my need
his warmth dispelled my shame
that I'd come empty-handed.

We played and sang till sunset,
the wine-cups often tilted,
with the pleasure of new-found friends
we chanted and composed verses.

-Tao Qian
