Candle in the Dust

Tonight we had a random adventure where we played miners and a guard. The miners were NPCs featured in the back story of one of our regular players, Bay. The guard I played was a mutant rescued by our group when we saved Cael over a year ago in game time. It was a fun game, and best of all, we found resources that will give us money for our House in the main game.

I was playing the guard, and at the end it looked like I was going to die. I started thinking about the bad poetry things that go through your head when you have a massive crush and are about to die. That, combined with the general mood of the evening led to me totally bastardizing “Candle in the Wind” to “Candle in the Dust”. If you want to know just how twisted I am, here you go.

“Candle in the Dust”

Goodbye Zarnian

Though I barely knew you at all

You had the grace to wield your spear

And make your enemies fall

They crawled out of the stone

And you cleaved them to the bone

You broke our bonds and freed us from our cage

And rumor has, later you saved a mage

chorus

And it seems to me you lived your life

Like a candle in the mine

Never knowing who to cling to

When the dust blew in

And I would have liked to kiss you

But I was just a slave

You’ve got a cute butt

And you’re really brave

To the readers of the above…. Remember, you’re the one that wanted to know.
