Spoiler Alert: based on The Dragon of Thunder Hills 

 

Berne's Squeeze beckoned to Baugi

The party to Red Bird found passage

savoring softly falling snow and silence

 

Red Bird was ruined and burned, few buildings were left

save Lifeloom's lodging, here a hall of healing

A most holy day, happy day for heros' arrival

The blessing of the White Woman were witnessed by all

 

Corgamos Longstride, clan leader, son of Arfritha

In long discussions with leader Baugi did linger

Lagertha discussed deeds of daring with Darallyr Dead-Mane.

Andrenik was sad that Heortand Red-Liver was absent

Helakar Grim Dawn spake just briefly with Bronwyn

Robbie missed Gringblast Groaning-Shield and was aggrieved

they all drowned disappointment with roast pork and mead

 

Lysang chief blessed Baugi, but warned of danger and Moon

Bronwyn became drunk and doubtful of Daressa 

Jaroth Lawspeaker confirmed the justness of the mission

brave Berevenos is buried with a panoply most becoming

 

Robbi spoke of leaving a lock of hair on Daressa's loom

Lagertha laughed lustily, lewd thoughts did assume

Soon both were fighting and rocking the room.

 

At morning Gidron the good guide led party gallantly

Past a Bell, famous for nothing Sorala could see or surmise

At the Table of Larnste, they lingered not long

for Giant Mountain Yelling hastened all along

 

That night strange arrivals, Amanda's arrogant squad

Leader too rude to give proper respects, no honor had he

In future war woman brings woe unexpected

 

The snow fell more fiercely, cowardly Valind most violent

Gidron guided unerringly to the Old Grave

Runty scented foulness, it sullied the sanctuary

The barrow's burial boulder lay fallen, entrance unveiled

Lagertha led into the outer chamber, where justice was served

On the floor a foul follower of Shepelkirk got what he deserved.

 

Before them Buttercup sensed spirit mighty and strong,

Buttercup and Baugi went boldly, brought the rest along

Behold, the burial chamber beckoned brightly,

By the torches' glare glittering grave goods lay glistening

Their metal coldly clean despite generations of age

 

Then the spirit of a strong and skilled warrior arose

angry at the disturbance of his long repose

"You have forgotten me, and allow foulness to violate my tomb!

Present your purpose or prepare for your doom!" 

 

Brave Baugi strode forward, unfazed with no fear

"Dragon Yerezum Storn torments our tribe, the Colymar, we trust in your aid"

Berevenos knew not of that tribe, only their ancestors, the Hyalorings

Hundreds of years of history to him were explained

Berevenos boasted of his prowess and bravery in battle

All listened intently, appreciating his actions

 

"You may retain the regalia, two rules are required

Each year needs fresh gifts and feasting to garnish my gravesite

and fight fiercely the dragons, there can be no compromise"

 

The group did agree, as fine terms were these,

a small price to pay for the Hero to appease,

Lagertha found favor, following with this Oath

"By the Winds this spear will find Yerezum's throat"

 

After getting much advice on acting against Dragons

the chamber was cleaned and reconsecrated

the thief dumped in the ditch for damnation.
