Christmas carol by Lexie
I'm dreaming of an idle Christmas With every advents gift I get While I log in multies And try to gull these Shopkeepers into giving me more jobs I"m dreaming of an idle Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the bots cast spell ups And groups of fellas Would retrieve corpses in the snow I'm dreaming of an idle Christmas With every board post that I write May your gifts be useful and bright And may you idle both Christmas day and night
Christmas carol by Athlonstore
In the Bleak Nightmare Plane
In the bleak nightmare plane,
Blood bears roamed around.
A fortress stood obsidian,
None could hear a sound.
Blood Ravens flew, they pecked and pecked,
pe-ecked a-and pecked
In the bleak nightmare plane,
Madness reigned unchecked.
Then some players showed up,
At the fortress gate,
Sander the Barbarian
Asked them "could you waiit?"
A sneaky thief backstabbed him,
blood began to spill,
Sander's friends rescued him,
The fighters joined the kill.
Some mages casted fireball,
Warriors berserked,
The clerics casted breath of life,
The druids did their work.
They casted control weather
and made the weather hot
They solar lanced the giant
and the necros casted rot.
The bodies hit the ground with
Exaggerated thumps.
Those inside the fortress
were down in the dumps.
The players crashed into the gate
Splintering it whole!
Visiting the garrison,
They took a dreadful toll.
Tanis makal screamed for help, and
Lance ironhand fled.
Lady Patience sobbed in grief
She began to count the dead.
The Crimson dragon heard the fight
Her wings began to flap.
Soaring to the combat,
The players screamed "OH crap!"
She breathed a blast of fire
some skin began to burn.
The fighters got their lances
The tables began to turn.
They stabbed in desperation
At the dragon's heart.
She weakly tried to fight back
but she just wasn't smart.
Finally a lance point
penetrated her.
Dancing round in vict'ry
The players skinned her fur.
They sold it on the auction block
For twenty million gold,
And that is how the dragon
was slain in days of old!

Lyrics to Alter Aeon favorite things by Shryth:-
Helping the farmers and swallowing kittens Killing some moles to get magical mittens Pondering the horrors that Archais brings These are a few of my favorite things The dwarves' magic bracer, it's so legendary I just read about it in the dreams' monastery Sensei that load a nice breath saving ring These are a few of my favorite things. Dragon that slashes and midnight blue sashes Quicklings that hide behind bushes and thatches Silverwind freezing even though it is spring These are a few of my favorite things When I'm playing, Alter Aeon Around Christmas Eve I go to the north and to wastelands beyond And set all the evils free
