NPC 054: Coop, Young Bard and Charge of Iolo’s Bows North
Coop is onstage with The Avatars. He sees you and says, "Uhm, there is someone special listening tonight, and this next tune is dedicated to them."
He signals to his partners and they begin to play. He sings the following lyrics:
"Across the country we do fly --
Best to heed our battle cry!
"We fight for virtues, far and wide,
And we cause the damsel's sigh."
Then Neno and Judith join in on the chorus:
"Oh, Avatars are we
And virtuous we doth be!
"Beware ye ogre and ye beast
Lest thou be served at our next feast!
"We rescue damsels, oh so fair,
And battle pirates on a dare!
"No evil liche doth daunt or sway!
Against them all we win the day!
"We are the Av-atars!
We are the Av-atars!
We are the Aaaa-Vaaa-Taaars!"
The applause is tumultuous.*
"Hmmm. They must have seen thee coming, Avatar."*
"Must not stop to speak now! I am late for a performance of The Avatars! Come and hear us play at The Blue Boar!" END
