[ENGRAVERY:MISGUIDED] and Dwarf Road Song


DWARF ROAD (Sung to the tune of Dragon Road)

T'was on the first of Granite, out at Tonguewaggled Fort,
Several dozen dwarves, and not a single report,
There had been a party, job cancellations galore,
Our doctors were all unconscious, and our nobles drowned or sore,

CHORUS : And there were vultures, vultures, flying o'er the walls,
Gorlaks all around us and behind us trolls with mauls.
And there were Carp, Carp flopping across the floor,
They all snuck up upon us because a corpse was blocking the door.

We were not discouraged, we were set to fight,
But our militia captains had drunk ten gallons of the finest wine that night,
Urist McSpeardwarf was disheveled Momuz McHammerer much the same,
And the militia commander was stuck behind a wall and didn't hear us call his name.

CHORUS : And there were vultures, vultures, flying o'er the walls,
Gorlaks all around us and behind us trolls with mauls.
And there were Carp, Carp flopping across the floor,
They all snuck up upon us because a corpse was blocking the door.

The vultures got our plump helmets, The Carp seemed to be undead,
And chasing all our Miners was some rotting severed head,
We finally woke a solider, he would make them pay,
But he really pulled a boner when he dodged into a pit that day,

CHORUS : And there were vultures, vultures, flying o'er the walls,
Gorlaks all around us and behind us trolls with mauls.
And there were Carp, Carp flopping across the floor,
They all snuck up upon us because a corpse was blocking the door.

All the crossbow bolts misfired, the axes missed their mark,
And then we heard a growl, from deeper in the dark.
A forgotten beast came upon us, everyone feared its name,
We didn't think it funny when it ripped off our Metalsmiths leg.

CHORUS : And there were vultures, vultures, flying o'er the walls,
Gorlaks all around us and behind us trolls with mauls.
And there were Carp, Carp flopping across the floor,
They all snuck up upon us because a corpse was blocking the door.

Our soldiers bravely battled, but it was all for naught,
For we had not the measure of the monsters that we fought,
T'was a Noble finally saved us, the gods blessed us that day,
The single pull of a level, dropped 7/7 magma into the fray.

CHORUS : And there were vultures, vultures, flying o'er the walls,
Gorlaks all around us and behind us trolls with mauls.
And there were Carp, Carp flopping across the floor,
They all snuck up upon us because a corpse was blocking the door.
