about

An "unplugged" live recording of this piece we originally produced as part of my Blibbering Humdingers projects. I thought SCAfolk might appreciate a less hardcore rendition.

lyrics

Am G We were surrounded by an army of undead
Am Em Our cleric down to minus five
Am G A rabid hobgoblin gnawed off the fighter’s arm
C E But we knew with luck that we could survive

A Natural 20
A D I can move mountains. I can swim across the sea (in full armour)
A E and fight off a horde of zombies
A Natural 20
A D I can slay dragons with a short sword and a sling.
A E Am Natural 20 is all I need.

Am G A portal opened, and unleashed the fiends of Hell
Am Em A balrog looking really pissed
Am G We tried to banish him, but couldn’t work the spell
C E We’ll have fight. I hope we don’t miss!

A Natural 20
A D I can move mountains. I can swim across the sea (in full armour)
A E and fight off a horde of zombies
A Natural 20
A D I can slay dragons with a short sword and a sling.
A E A Natural 20 is all I need.

Dm C And after the battle we went to the Inn to relax a while
F C We spent all our treasure on gambling and women and booze
Cm Bb My dwarf made a pass at the barmaid, we think that she might have smiled
Bbm C But the Halfling had too much to drink and threw up on my shoes.

<spoken>
So really, I’m going to try to ask out the barmaid.
Uhm Okay, make a charisma check. What’s your bonus?
I don’t have a charisma bonus. I mean nobody puts points into charisma unless they’re a sorcerer or a bard. That’s just a lame stat.
Okay, well. make your roll. You’re at a minus 2 because of the Halfling vomit.
…sweet.

A Natural 20
A D I can be charming. I can get my drinks for free. I wink at wenches
A E and pick up a barmaid or three.
A Natural 20
A D take down beholders with a toothpick and some string
A E A E Natural 20 is all I need.

A Natural 20
A D I can move mountains. I can swim across the sea (in full armour)
A E and fight off a horde of zombies
A Natural 20
A D I can slay dragons with a short sword and a sling.
A E C A Natural 20 is all I need.
