Everybody's Died
Posted: Wed Aug 21, 2019 6:14 am
I'm working on a game about adventurers that meet in a tavern, only after the rest of their party has died. You'll tell your tales of woe, trying to get the tavern patrons to buy your drink for you. If you drink too much of the bad alcohol you might die at the end of the night!
I'm basing the game and the play off "Another Irish Drinking Song" by Da Vinci's Notebook and that means I have to adapt the song. I'm not a lyricist by any stretch but I'm trying. This is what I have so far, I'm about half way done.
"Another adventurer's Drinking Song" Lyrics
Adapted from lyrics by Da Vinci's Notebook
Gather round ye lads and lasses
Set ye for lark
And hearken to me mournful tale about the dungeon dark
Let's all raise our glasses high to friends and family gone
And lift our voices in another adventurer's drinking song
Zombies took me mother and
Me father found a trap
Me brother drank the whisky till he was killed taking a nap
Me other brother in The Underdark met with his demise
Me sister has forever closed her undead detecting eyes
Now everybody's died
So, until our tears have dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and then we'll drink some more
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early morning light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up, and then go drinking once again
The vampire was winnin' at poker until they raised the stakes
The doppelganger had it good but they pinned him as a fake
Arigone's torch burned up the oxygen and now his air is gone
Hamish Triphammer dropped his hammer when he saw a fright
He stubbed his toe and fell down a pit until he was out of sight
Earl played in a staring contest with a basilisk and won
'cause his eyes are rock and now he weighs a ton.
Merden thought that water wet the floor
His fireball hit the oil and was blown out of the door.
Now everybody's died
So, until our tears have dried
We'll drink and drink and drink and drink and then we'll drink some more
We'll dance and sing and fight until the early morning light
Then we'll throw up, pass out, wake up, and then go drinking once again
I need to finish the song but if anyone wants to throw in lyrics I'll happily credit you for them. I'd also like to do a sci-fi version.
