===The Plot===
Mask of merchants adorned,<br>
We marched to the castle forewarned,<br>
Of a scheme that was dangerously specious,<br>
Giddy with fellowship we trekked on facetious<br>


Three days three nights the wayfarers spent,<br>
Crested the last hill and met with the first dent,<br>
Prepare yourself , for magical defences are singing,<br>
Songs of dirge , warning bells and chimes ringing,<br>
But our collective is strong , buoyed by  Dal loyalist,<br>
A ranger , some soldiers and a fledgling violinist<br>


We reach the castle , glimpse a fleeting figure,<br>
Compelled into action we follow with vigour,<br>
The apparition turns, countenance of an old man gaffer,<br>
Its the fucking Lich! Our visage goes pallor,<br>
With hail and fire the party is beset,<br>
The grinning bastard doesn't even break a sweat,<br>
He vanishes then without a trace,<br>
We walk back nincompoops and in disgrace,<br>


Inspecting the castle ingress,<br>
Opening the door reveals a fleshy undress,<br>
No way in, we scale the castle summit,<br>
To enter the castle, in a plummet,<br>
Falling feet,  falling first , head last,<br>
A look at our landing pad leaves us aghast,<br>
What was cognized to be a lacuna at our toes,<br>
Is but a ligament of a giant in Jesus Christ pose<br>


While we gawk witless at what's befell,<br>
Imphraezl appears and casts a spell,<br>
And freezes us in place, unmovable,<br>
Then a man sized insect rises, odious and abominable,<br>
Suction cup mouth and needle teeth, it bedecks,<br>
And extends its proboscis at our apoplectic necks<br>


Insect sucks , we fight,<br>
Rezik counter-spells with all his might,<br>
Kaylorr and Jorg unfetter with sheer force of will,<br>
And in concert, we asunder its wings and execute a kill<br>


The ruse is still afoot, vacuous artifacts in guise,<br>
Imphraezl comes out to bandy, for the beholders eyes,<br>
Rezik palavers, but its not going well,<br>
Gravity turns sideways and out of the castle we fell,<br>
Stupefaction clears , deaths ugly head rears<br>


Rezik has died in the fall, he was quite a guy!<br>
We use the wagon to hold his corpus delicti,<br>
Make our way back to the castle deflated,<br>
Only to find Imphraezl having vacated,<br>
Bjorn the giant is still here , hasn't moved,<br>
We think it a good idea to have his chains loosed<br>


Jorg announces himself and Bjorn rages,<br>
A fearsome onslaught of strength and power wages,<br>
We sound the retreat , but Jorg is mired in a fight for his subsistence,<br>
And then giant arms descend, clapping away his existence...<br>
