Coming Soon(And we really mean it!): Battle of the Bards 2009

[Freeman]

Coming soon to a House P theater near you, the minstrel extravaganza you've all been waiting for:

BATTLE OF THE BARDS

Hosted by those wonderfully wacky bards, Freeman(I promise to wear clothes this time) and Jaggie(Tuned, oiled, and ready to rock!) Prizes will be awarded, partly based on talent at composing songs and partly based on whatever whim strikes us. Also, I'll also be giving out a "Worst Dressed" award for the ugliest outfit worn by a participant.(Of course, you still have to beat some of the ones I've got stashed in a closet somewhere)

Join us for a fun-filled evening, as we finally make use of that little know bard skill: Party! Drinks will be consumed, songs will be sung, legends will be born, and dwarves will be tossed. Remember: If you aren't wanted by the Coin Lords the next morning, the party wasn't a success

Our tentative date and time will be August 28th at 9:00pm EDT. Stay tuned for further notices.(Tolero, we need access to the original BotB thread!) Also, we'll be following the same rules as the previous BotBs, so check the original thread for rules/suggestions/help.

[Syriania]

You don't look like Musicman to me!!

[Freeman]

You don't look like Musicman to me!!

Yes, I know. I'm much sexier

[SpanishBlueEyes]

Gosh dang it i finally get a capped bard and i am going on vaction the day! and i will be gone for a month. well i will sing that day in remeberence as i will be traveling across country, but i will rock it out and honk to the beat of DDO music!

[Syriania]

Yes, I know. I'm much sexier

Idk if I'd say all that.

[sigtrent]

Booyah!

I think I'll be able to compete, although something might come up on that day. I'll come up with a tune regardless. Gahh I had a perfect one in mind by I can't remember it now. Dang!

None the Gabriazar the Great, two time battle of the bards champion, is on the case!

On the lute case and drinking heavily that is.

[Aussieee]

Hm any restrictions? Can I bring a freshly made bard?

[Freeman]

On the lute case and drinking heavily that is.

That's the spirit we like to see. Or spirits, in this case Just make sure you bring enough for all of us.

[Freeman]

Hm any restrictions? Can I bring a freshly made bard?

The only restriction is that you must have a bard on stage with you during your performance, or at least one level of bard yourself. Other than that, anyone is welcome, no matter what level, race, class, etc. Check the original BotB thread linked in my OP for further details. Oh, and the dwarves have to bath first. I know, that may seem unreasonable to some of them, but standing in the rain just doesn't cut it after a certain point. Merfolk's Blessing can only wash away so much, after all.

[Jaggie]

Get'n closer. You bardlings got your songs ready yet?

[sigtrent]

Get'n closer. You bardlings got your songs ready yet?

Indeed, I remembered what my good idea was Still tuning up they lyrics but it should be a fun one.

[Robi3.0]

I figured my bard would some up in character and drunk as hell. She'd slur some lyrics on stage, yell at a few of the other contestants then punch out a fan Amy Winehouse (sp) style.

[Jaggie]

Not much longer now. I hope all you Bard folk are ready!

Prizes will be given out to all participants and I'll be doing a number of random door prizes that will be awarded to members in the audience.

[LeCutter]

I heart bards. I'd play one if they got a drum to play, cause I don't wanna work, I just wanna' bang on dee drum all day!

[Freeman]

One hour to go. Free food for anyone that attends!!!

[sigtrent]

I had to sing and run at Battle of the Bards due to a tabletop game but Gabby stuck around to sleep through the rest of the performances and woke up long enough to collect some fine offerings from our hosts (as my players argued about what food to order :P)

Anyway, many thanks to Freeman and Jaggy for the entertaining event. Here is Gabby's song....

D&D Done Dirt Cheap

With the big changes coming to stormreach there is a lot of electricity in the air. This inspired me to create this tune based on the AC/DC classic, Done Dirt Cheap.

If you’re havin’ trouble just stayin’ awake
Each time you swing a sword
You wanna fight that don’t feel fake?
Fed up with bein’ bored?
Listen to me, ditch that game
Time for the real deal
Just grab a d20, d10, d6, hey
DDO has fun that’s real

D&D, done dirt cheap
It’s D&D and it’s done dirt cheap!

Got stupid quests like collecting bones?
Mining lumps of dirt?
Tired of running all over the place
Instead of killing beasts?
Down load our game, free of charge
Give it a try
Log on in, stick around
And let the good times fly
D&D, done dirt cheap
It’s D&D and it’s done dirt cheap!
Yeahhh!!

Sick of choices that are all the same?
Want a game with guts?
Stop that grinding all night and day
It’s like a kick in the nuts
Pick up a sword, or cast a spell
Do it in real time
For no fee, DDO can be
One hell of a ride! Hey,

D&D, done dirt cheap
It’s D&D and it’s done dirt cheap!
Woooo!!!

Dragons, Beholders, Vorpal swords
Done dirt cheap!
Fire Balls, Rust Monsters, Ancient Evils
Done dirt cheap!

D&D, done dirt cheap
Yes it’s D&D and it’s done dirt cheap
grunt grunt
D&D, done dirt cheap
Baby, D&D and it’s done dirt cheap
Unhhhhh
Now get in your seat and play….
Cause Its D&D…..
DONE DIRT CHEAP!
