C is for Caerac
Someone is knocking on your tomb
Someone is ressurecting your old bones
Can’t these younglings let you rest in peace?
They’ve got no respect for their elders or former adventurers
All you had to fight for, all that built the Keep you enjoy
A fortress of walls keeping out the monsters you fought
Now there’s Trouble at Caearac Keep and the monsters won’t stay away
You never protected anyone, you were one of the monsters
Bashing goblins’s heads in and stealing their treasure
Just what were you doing in the dungeon any way?
Goblins and kobolds have rights too
They were only protecting themselves from greedy invaders
Goblins and kobolds may have rights but not the undead
The righteous young cleric with the bloody hand made that quite clear
You’d better not tell her all of your secrets
She’s listening to far more than she can handle from your lost time
Those boys adding their energy to hers are all the more confusing
They have an air which reminds you far too much of Corwyth
The dread vampire everyone fears has risen
You remember when he was a cleric himself, a righteous idealist
Oh, the tales you could tell them, making their hair fall out
Your own hair is long gone along with your life
You’d much rather rest in peace.
