The Saga of Lars Ghar-Rider

[written by Wendy, player of Heijo, concerning the quest for the ghar some months ago, and earning Heijo 100 xp per level; it is meant to be sung to the tune of "O-zone numa numa yei" ... though the Scribes admit to scratching their heads in wonderment when trying to fit words to music without demonstration]

Saga of Lars Ghar-Rider

The second day, they’re on their way,

Lars, Heijo and Mara on the ferry first,

Watch the river serpent eat a ferry hand!

Terrorizing the working men,

The party tries to then defend.

The decision not to jump into the river was hard.

But there is no advantage to singly jumping into the river.

Lars poles furiously and helps get to the other side.

Leaper’s hackles rise and then cooler heads prevail and he also poles the barge across.

Mara hides.

Across the river they finally arrive and all the ferry men run and hide.

Back across the river with the net in tow

The gahr is caught and dragged ashore.

The fight is on, the gar surprised

From the net the magic flies and the bolts fly!

Lars astride the mighty beast

Hacks the neck!

The party fights bravely against the thrashing creature on the river bank!

More crossbow bolts and javelins –

With a mighty blow from Seventoes the creature fell

To the cheers of the ferry men.

After butchering and feasting and drinking, the journey continues to the haunted isle

Where the party meets the lord Tolwan and are well-met with feasting and gracious manners and tales are told and drinks are had, and a congenial evening is spent before the next days adventures.

On the beach, they bravely lured and killed yet another, but it seemed to be young, so they reset and tried again.

A larger one is called to the beach and Lars Gahr Rider Fang Ripper kills it with a mere touch!
