58 Kick in the Head

We're here tonight at The Hangman's Inn
In sunny Adder's Bay

And we should have taken warning
and stayed very far away.

Nonsense. This is such a friendly town.
Yeah, as long as there's gold in our purses...

The bar-room is unique
and has a rustic kind of charm

I think that we should leave
Before we come to harm

What do you mean? No one's threatened us.
Because I've killed two of them and the rest are waiting to see what happens next!

We're following the trail
of one hero, Steve, by name

But he doesn't care for Bards much
and he's tired of this game

He told me that he's very fond of bards!
Yeah... As a dietary supplement!

He's in the corner sleeping soundly
One could almost think him dead

But he stands up swearing roundly
When he's kicked upside the head

Really? I didn't know that.
Then you're not watching our 'hero' are you?

His attacker issues challenges
Which Steve cannot ignore

Oh great. A rustic bar fight
PATRONS! CLEAR THE FLOOR!!

A bar fight! Really?! I've never been in one before!
And you've been adventuring for how long?

The two do battle bravely
To see which one's the best

I can foresee the outcome
Steve's hiding a knife inside his vest

How do you know these things?
It's my business to know these things.

The challenger's defeated
And he's thrown into the air!

And through the bar's front window,
He never had a prayer.

That looked painful
It probably was

With thirst cured and battle won
Our hero now sets out

Leaving us to pay his tab again
And for repairs no doubt

It's the least we can do for such a glorious hero!
Just for that, it's coming out of your share of the treasure.

We follow our brave hero
Soon the world will know his name!

I'd rather be doing something else
If it's all the same...

Like what? What could be better than following around a real life hero?
Sleeping, eating real food, getting some treasure of my own. You know. Things.

Onward to the sunset!
To new and dang'rous ground!

You go right ahead. I'll be here.
Barkeep! 'Nother round!

You have no sense of adventure at all
Sure I do. I'm drinking the beer here aren't I?
