Shrieka Steinhammer's Songbook
Mike (DM Mykkal) replied to Mike (DM Mykkal)'s topic in Character Journals
from Chat GPT for the 6/19/2023 game (Verse 1) Oh, gather 'round, lads and lasses, I'll tell you a tale so grand, 'Bout a well-hung halfling, a legend in the land. His name was Drago, a traveler of renown, From Bree he set off, for the Shire he was bound. (Chorus) Well, he's Drago the halfling, a sight to behold, With a mighty weapon, the stories unfold. From Bree to the Shire, he roamed far and wide, With a swagger in his step and a gleam in his eye. (Verse 2) Now, Drago was no ordinary hobbit you'd find, He had a reputation for leaving hearts behind. With a stature so sma -
The book of bawdy songs and terrible tales.

*suddenly feels like the Bat-Cave* Can we have poles to slide down? And a butler? Gurly wants a large walk-in closet. Grit would like a heated mud bath spa.

[November 4, 2019] *The mysterious woman with the warm smile reads the text and makes another blood offering. Again, she calls forth undead beings. She ponders, wondering what component she is missing. The beloved pets of the child called forth something more.... didnt' they?* *She pauses, turns at the sounds from down the corridor. She gathers her things and dashes through the zombie horde she had summoned and hides *

Details coming soon. All dates tentative. [November 11, 2019 Prologue] Book Club (Earlier in the day) Aruncus rides along the North Road. She overhears two girl rangers giggling. Pausing to eavesdrop, she over hears them chatting about That Book. Between the girls' giggling fits, she catches the name... Canon... and speculation he may be giving a reading during the book club later that day at the Annakol Theater. Aruncus nudges her horse along and heads back to camp to prepare. (later that night) It was standing room only for the event at the Annakol Theate

This sounds like my Saturday nights.

[September 9, 2018] The 4 Steinhammers make their way down the ramp from the Historic District Park. The Mysterious Woman and 3 gypsy travelers watch on. *Gypsy traveler, exotic accent* Seems we are not the only one looking for the bard. *Mysterious woman with warm smile* No, no we are not.... make sure our guests are.... comfortable. I wouldn't want anything unfortunate to happen to them.

[in the alley in the south end of Annakol City, a bard hits the ground a loud thump.] Fat Canon: *sweating and looking up at the bathroom window he just scaled out* Ugh... I should not have ate that Groo before going on.... Gypsy Traveler: *exotic accent* Good evening sir... Perhaps I can have a word with you? FC: Uh.... now, isn't a really good time... *holds his stomach* GT: Oh, Yes it is... *Darkness is cast and the Canon impersonator is hoisted into a nearby wagon and carted away* *A loud flushing sound echoes out of the bathroom window*

[Later that evening after the book club at the Feisty Chicken] *the Mysterious Woman with the warm smile knocks on the door to Ludmilla's House of Waxworks* *Willem, the manservant, carrying a tray of tea for Ludmilla's night cap, answers the door* W: Good evening. I was not expecting to see you again so soon. MW: *coos* I really enjoyed your views on the book earlier this evening. I was hoping to further our conversation. W: *slight blush* This really isn't the best of times.... *glancing to the tray* MW: Oh, but it is... *pulls back her hood to reveal her warm

Aruncus picks up The Book— it’s now how she refers to it — and again opens it. How can it be any worse? She flips to the next section and begins to read aloud. Chapter 2: Horselords and the Guardians of the Star Trek Galactica. A long, long time ago in a galaxy really, really far away the Starship Horselord 1 sets off on its maiden voyage to explore the multiverse. Equipped with the most stately state-of-the-art AI technology, the Aruncus 5000, the highly trained crew has set off to go where no humanoid has gone before.

With new players popping on, some of us server relics thought we would reintroduce ourselves to all the new comers. I am Mike. You can see me log on under mkmddx and appear as DM Mykkal, the Druid Mykkal, the bard Canon, as well as a number of other characters. I’m based out of Madison, WI (Central time zone, same as Chicago). I usually run a Sunday night campaign, typically Horselords. I like epic battles with with strong role play. As a player, I steer away from front line meat shields and prefer support positions in the party. I first logged into Realms of Annakolia in July

I'm game, depending on the campaign schedule. As you have noticed, I'm not a night owl but could make it past 9pm Central once a week if need be.

Aruncus settles by the fire with the book. She opens the cover and turns the pages to the first chapter. Here eyes move across the first paragraph and into the second. As she reads, her brow begins to tighten. She pauses and looks down at her modest brown dress. A concerned look appears on her face. She returns to the book and rereads a few sentences. She looks back down at her dress and then back to the book. Her brow furrows with rage and she yells, My neckline does NOT plunge and my bosom does NOT spill forth!! Angered, she continues reading.

Aruncus steps out of her tent and finds a wrapped package in their campsite inside the walls of Sidonia's castle. She picks it up and looks around for the possible sender. Seeing no one, she carefully unwraps the package to reveal a new book, crisp and clean. The cover is embossed in gold with a line drawing of a horse. The spine is etched with "Horselords: The Complete Story". Curious, she opens the cover and reads a note scrawled inside: Dearest Horselords, Thank you for the inspiration. I hope you enjoy! Best wishes, Canon.

The boisterous bard gathers his papers together with a satisfied grin. Done! Now, to get this bound and distributed! He heads out of his Sunbird Manor apartment and makes his way into the city.

Horselords: Loose Canon 2018 can·on1 ˈkanən/ A collection or list of sacred books accepted as genuine. A boisterous, good natured, B-list celebrity bard looking to make a literary name for himself. Initial adventures in this series can be inclusive of players running non-HL classes. The series of games will be based on the published works of an area bard, with a questionable literary style, and will NOT be part of the world’s time frame. Oh, you’ll see what I mean when we play… Players are expected to engage in epic adventure and epic role play. The Loose Cano

My apologies to all players, but I need a hiatus. Real life has too many distractions right now. And the ever dwindling player base is discouraging. The last straw was the DM/PC skirmish last week. I don't have the time or energy to deal with that kind of crap. It's been fun, and I'll miss many people. But it is time.

Hey gang, I've had something come up where I have to be out of town Saturday (today) and will not be back in time for Sunday's game on July 15. Sorry, M.
