A Ballad
- by Domela, after a battle scene in the WWQ

---

'The Bane, the Storm and the Unnamed,
they fought and got those slavers tamed,
The heroes they could all survive,
allthough one is barely alive,
I'll sing about them one by one,
about this battle they have won.

Hear, there is this man called Tull,
at first I thought him rather dull,
but now it's said he saved much lives,
so now I think he's nice and wise.

Chorus: (EVERYONE!) Sing about them one by one,
about the battle they have won.

An elf climbed upwards in the nest,
but snotlings didnot give him rest,
explosions made our Link so mad,
as he fell, hurt his leg real bad.

Sing about them one by one,
about the battle they have won

Kaira, no, that's not a curse,
she is a very skillfull nurse,
and knew just how to treat that elf,
as she made of his leg a shelve.

Sing about them one by one,
about the battle they have won,

I know a fiercy amazone,
Yevele's her name, but WHOOSH she's gone,
taking the sail and mobbing the imps,
and slaying invaders and all those wimps.

Sing about them one by one,
about the battle they have won,

A lizardlass was bored and snored,
as she stood to scare that big horde,
Once Tarra found her strength and will,
there was just noone left to kill.

Sing about them one by one,
about the battle they have won,

The swordsman Lans is there to blame,
his mind a rage, his sword a flame,
as he did what he had to do,
to hurt them, but they hurt him too.

Sing about them one by one,
about the battle they have won,

Whatever happend to Jacco?
You know, that greedy green gobo,
he sneaked and dissappeared from sight,
Now he's sleeping off his fight.

Sing about them one by one,
about the battle they have won,

A dwarf hurled rocks and heavy things,
he fights for glory and his kings,
look Tek's there, drinking his beer,
hiphiphooray, for our engineer,

Sing about them one by one,
about the battle they have won,

The girl with staff fights likes a man,
she's Nissa and Dean is her fan,
fighting with style and in best form,
she won and named the ship Hailstorm,

Sing about them one by one,
about the battle they have won,

But how could I ever forget,
the things that Dean has done and said,
he beat those slavers in and out,
his brother would have been very proud.
We sung about them one by one,
about the battle they have won....'

Sue Boy

Well, I’ve traveled far and wide
Across Lirynn’s countryside
In the service of Milady Ysiane,
And in the forest, swamp, and river
I’ve seen sights to make you shiver--
But the strangest I’ve encountered was a yrani.
Now, it was the Winter Tree
That sent me to Enth’ryni
In order to hunt down an elven maid.
I’d known of her human beau,
But not of how far he’d go
To protect the only elf he ever laid!

He was Sue, Sue, Sue--
The dumbest man I ever knew!
But even though his name was girly,
He was six-foot-ten and burly:
A mountain made of muscle... that was Sue.

When I met him in the woods,
I had him going pretty good
‘Til the Winter Cult went and wrecked my plans.
And although few men are dimmer,
Ol’ Sue’s brain began to simmer
When he saw the Cult and I went hand in hand.
He was a-snortin’ and a-fumin’
Like he was more ox than human
When a Cult assassin shot his lover down.
The way that he was stewing
I knew trouble was brewing,
So I took pains to no longer be around.

Yes, he was Sue, Sue, Sue!
And he did what dimwits do,
Giving away his suspicions plain as day.
So I went and cut my losses,
And, having betrayed my bosses,
Got so busy I forgot him straightaway.

Sue’s girl wasn’t doing well,
So he grabbed her up from where she fell
And took her to a healer in the town.
But the next thing that they knew,
There had been a palace coup
As the tekal went and overthrew the crown.
Then Sue picked up and fled,
So he wouldn’t wind up dead
When the anarin were rounding up outsiders.
And amidst the fuss and tussle
Sue strained a mental muscle
When he looked for Isis and he couldn’t find her.

He was Sue, Sue, Sue!
And he was feeling pretty blue,
With his elven leman off he knew not where.
He got so wild his pals jumped him--
Over the head they thumped him,
And pretty soon they’d dragged him out of there.

Now, Sue is pretty slow,
So of course he didn’t know
He was traveling with the telar’s missing heir,
Who was on an urgent mission
To get the tekal to listen
To the idea that banning yrani wasn’t fair.
How well that might’ve went
If Sue hadn’t been present
Is a question to which the answer can’t be known.
But the human (being dense)
Thought that it made good sense
To just up and haul the tekal off his throne.

For he was Sue, Sue, Sue!
And a dullard, tried and true.
And of course the bloody tekal had a knife.
Sue had hardly grabbed the blackguard
When he felt the tekal’s dagger,
And so our ‘hero’ nearly lose his life.

All that saved the sorry dolt
Is that the tekal had to bolt,
When the room was stormed by an elven mob.
And when the warlord fled,
Ol’ Sue raised his ugly head,
And decided that chasing after was his job.
Well, he caught him, so they say,
Before the elf could get away,
And hauled him back before the telar’s son.
Having thereby saved the nation,
He partook in the celebration
Of elves saluting another battle won.

Oh, but Sue, Sue, Sue!
You were a dimwit through and through,
To have abandoned poor Isis in a huff.
First you lost her, then you found her--
Now you’d better stick around her,
And remember sometimes muscle’s not enough.
