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.
