We set off for the caves,
Refreshed and rearmed,
Stalwart and brave,
We got there unharmed.
The first section was clear,
No traps, fangs or claws,
But a sound did we hear,
Behind a secret door.
Through it we moved,
We surprised a frail orc!
To chase it we were behooved,
Our legs turned with great torque.
We came upon the orcish chief,
And tried to strike it low,
But behind us more orcs gave us grief!
We fought our many foes.
I was nearly struck down,
Once, twice, thrice,
I would not fall - a man of my renown!
Under my blade the enemies ran like mice.
So we went back home,
To Four Shields Keep,
In the forest we were not alone,
Upon us some ghastly assailants did leap.
We got away,
By the skin of our teeth,
To collect our pay,
And return my blade to its sheathe.
