Summer of Lore #35: The Reluctant Warrior

One of Dorian's favorite funny songs, this song tells the story of a thief who inadvertently winds up a competitor in a tournament (what kind varies from singer to singer) after stealing a key.

Dorian likes making it a tournament of magic, but he has also made it a warrior's tournament and an archer's tournament. Whatever type it is, most of the humor comes from the thief's lack of skill in the chosen area.

A few sample verses (from the tournament of magic version):

As each of the mages sang their song
The rogue's poor heat did race
"How can I compete with any of them?
I cannot keep the pace!"

More spellsongs echoed through the air
When he was called, the rogue did freeze
He prepped the lights in his gloves
And sang
Gran zirtan vin fangan miti...
