Announcements / Letter Extravaganza!

« Last post by Elliott on January 04, 2016, 03:39:27 am »

Hello Adventurers! This is the same announcement posted on FB, reposted here for convenience!

We know it has been a long time since you've visited the Obsidian Isles, but while we've all been waiting to return, staff has been getting ready for 2016 with a lot of exciting announcements!

Now, we've had a long standing rule that NPCs only send out one letter per BGS cycle, and that will still be the rule going forward. However, until the next *full event*, we are SUSPENDING that rule, which means you can have extended back and forth conversations with NPCs via letters! We are also suspending the normal 2 copper per letter delivery fee for letters sent via the forum until the next full event (does not apply to letters sent IG). To kick of this letter extravaganza (as we are calling it staff side) we have written letters to every player who has both attended an event and set up a forum account.

Everyone should check the forum, as everyone with an account should have something waiting. Even if you don't see a letter from an NPC you want to talk to, feel free to send them a letter too! Because of this adjustment in letter response time, there is also a unique opportunity: SOME NPCs can be invited to attend the feast. Some will not be able to attend, but the only way to know is to ask.

Sincerely
AW Staff

P.S. If you haven't made a forum account yet you can still get in on the letter extravaganza if you make one before the next full event.

Over the Hills and Far Away

Here's fourteen silver on the drum
to those who volunteer to come
to list and fight and fall today
o'er the hills and far away

Refrain
O'er the hills and O'er the maine
to Ger, to Runa, and to Xheng
our king commands and we obey
o'er the hills and far away

All Gentilemen which have a mind
to serve a king what's good and kind
should list and enter into pay
o'er the hills and far away

Refrain

When duty calls we all must go
to stand and face another fall
and march into another fray
o'er the hills and far away

Refrain

If I should fall to fight no more
as many comrades did before
then ask the drums and fifes to play
O'er the hills and far away

Refrain

then fall in lads behind the drum
with colours blazing like the sun
along the road to come what may
O'er the hills and far away

Refrain

Here's to Beer that Tastes Like Beer

 

Refrain
Here's to beer that tastes like beer!
An amber glass of wholesome cheer
A noble brew that has no peer
Beer that Tastes Like Beer!

 

For centurys the brewers craft
Produced the most exquisite draft
When he brews with what he oughter
Barley malt, hops, yeast and water.
 
Refrain
 

Let cheese be cheese and bread be bread
Don't serve us soap and cake instead
While sausages may cause some fear *
For goodness sake let beer be beer!
 
Refrain
 

Among the most requested favors
Please avoid exotic flavors
Fruits and nuts and spices queer
Have no place in honest beer!
 
Refrain
 
Oh stay the bung don't drive the spile
On concoctions rank with adjuncts bile
Cornflakes, rice and rats from sewers
Fine for cooks but not for brewers

Refrain
 
So stick with what is plain and true
A beery tasting smelling brew
Then you'll earn our highest rating
Refreshing yet intoxicating!

So here's to beer that tastes like beer
an amber glass of wholesome cheer
a noble brew that has no peer
beer that looks like
beer that smells like
beer that tastes like beer

Hello Adventurers! I'm bumping this because RoA's next event is this weekend, 9/18-20, and staff could particularly use some extra help!

Here is the link to their website for more information on location and calls, and as always, the Cast Swap details above are in effect!

My Last Night On Shore

We were fresh from the sea
our pockets full of money
when me and me mateys
we headed for the bar
no sooner'd we arrived
than one pint turned ta five
a lassie grabbed me by the belt
we headed for the stairs

Refrain
Oh Brother don't wake me
don't jostle or shake me
I spent all me money with the ladies by the port
and if I never wake
don't cry and don't shake
just sing the glorious tales of my last night upon the shore

we drank fifteen kegs of beer
whiskeys from far and near
we ate up all their venison
we took down all the stew
and when we had run dry
we did not just stand by
a raiding party went next door
ta liberate more brew

Refrain

There were redheads there were blonds
brunettes of which I'm fond
we'd ply them with cheap alcohol
they wouldn't leave our sides
before the night was through
we each had one or two
by midnight our young cabin boy
had found himself a bride

Refrain

Things started to go queer
when Pat stole Kelly's beer
so he put his fist into Pat's face
and started up a fight
the brawl raged all around
we tore the tavern down
but we rescued all the kegs
so we could drink all through the night

Refrain

now me head is sore and achey
me bones are bruised and creaky
and I don't truly expect that
I shall live to see the light
tell me girl and her sister
till the day she dies I'll miss her
but in the mornin if I'm living
I'll be back tomorrow night

Refrain

The Mermaid

Twas Friday more when we sailed out
and we were not far from the land
our captain he spied a fishy mermaid
with a comb and a glass in her hand

Refrain
Oh ocean winds may blow
stormy waves may roll
but we poor sailors go skipping through the tops
while the landlubbers lie down below below below
while the landlubbers lie down below

Our ship chased her into a maelstrom
in the whirlpool we were caught
could not escape, though we backed oars
with peril we certainly were fraught

Refrain

Then up spoke the captain of our gallant ship
and a well spoken man was he
I got me a wife in Tan Gorsed
and tonight she'll be weepin for me

Refrain

Then up spoke the mate of our gallant ship
and a salty old tar was he
I know all the girls in Manta town
and it's them, I never more will see

Refrain

Then up spoke the cook of our gallant ship
and a red hot cooker was he
I care much more for my kettles and my pots
than I do for the bottom of the sea

Refrain

The up spoke the cabin boy of our gallant ship
and a very young lad was he
I should have listened to my dear mama
and I never should have gone to sea

Refrain

So three times around went our gallant ship
and three times around went she
three times around went our gallant ship
then she dashed against the bottom of the sea

Refrain

Rivers and Roads

A year from now we'll all be gone
All our friends will move away
And they're goin' to better places
But our friends will be gone away

Nothin' is as it has been
And I miss your face like hell
And I guess it's just as well
But I miss your face like hell

Ohhh oh oh
Ohhh oh
Ohhh oh oh
Ohhh oh

Been talkin' 'bout the way things change
And my family lives in a different place
If you don't know what to make of this
Then we will not relate
So if you don't know what to make of this
Then we will not relate

Ohhh oh oh
Ohhh oh
Ohhh oh oh
Ohhh oh

Ohhh oh oh
Ohhh oh
Ohhh oh oh
Ohhh oh

Rivers and roads
Rivers and roads
Rivers 'til I reach you

Rivers and roads
Oh rivers and roads
Oh rivers 'til I reach you

Rivers and roads/(Ohhhh)
Rivers and roads
Rivers 'til I reach you
[Repeat 6x]

*Not all repeats are always sung

Let the Buljine Run

So clear away the track and let the bulljine run
give me hey rig a jig and a jum ting run

The smartest clipper you can find

Refrain

So we're outward bound for Manta Town

When we get home to Leode Down

And back to sea I'll go no more
