New Bard Songs

[Erelei]

Alright guys. I've already extended the invitation to the other IMM staff to come up with some songs, but they seemed to have fallen short () and I need some help from you guys. The following is a list of songs Bards will know. These aren't the ONLY songs, but they're the few that will replace what's already there.

I NEED LYRICS FOR THE FOLLOWING!

If you want to Immortalize your name (credits will be given in HELP <SONG>) then do your best! You can submit them here, or you can submit them via prayer. I'd prefer here, though, so I can have them all consolidated into one place. Don't be upset if I don't choose your song!

And to the song names:

Ballad to the March (+moves song)

Battaglia (frenzy group/followers -- do other things to enemies -- song)

The Totem's Canticle (blessing song)

Suledin Nadas (cure serious song)

Lullaby (sleep song)

Carol of the Lethargic (slow song)

Pastoral of the Mind (+mana song)

Chorus of the Revealed (faerie fog song)

The Lamented Tears (remove affects song(not dispel))

Bagatelle of Bravado (+luck, -ac)

Ballad of Tranquillity (calm song)

Arduous Regret (weaken song)

Divertimento of Horror (force flee song)

Elegy of Solitude (isolate song)

Rhapsody of Delusion (delusion song)

[Dale]

Requiem of shadows 

 

With enough practice and focus a bard can attain mastery

over their favorite instrument.  With enough skill and a lot

of luck they can attempt to play the balled, Requiem of shadows.

This song will not only cast a darkness over the surrounding area(current room)

and nothing can be seen no matter how bright a lantern is used.  

Also the room becomes cursed and none may leave it by magical

force.

 

And any creature so unlucky enough to hear this song up close is

bound to it's melody until he can manage to forget it's gruesome tune.

Those with a lesser will are stopped in their tracks by it's remnants.

 

 

Edit: I totally misread the topic.   Facepalm

Following the old format I came up with this:

 

You prepare to sing 'Arduous Regret.'

You sing 'The weight of the world is on your shoulders,'

You sing 'Dragging you down like a sack of boulders.'

You sing 'The regrets of your past fill your mind,'

You sing 'Wishing you could leave them all behind.'

You sing 'Your lingering uncertainty will conquer you yet,'

You sing 'Leaving you in a state of arduous regret!' 

[Sandbox]

You prepare to sing 'Lullaby.'

You sing 'Your eyes are getting much heavier now,'

You sing 'Parting with the world at the weight of your brow.'

You sing 'Count the sheep or count backwards from ten,'

You sing 'The sun will shine when you wake again.'

You sing 'Lay down now and rest your eyes,'

You sing 'Hope and dream of happier times.'

[Sandbox]

If these two are any good i'll work on more. Just let me know.

[Erelei]

Keem em coming!

[Naruthiron]

Suledin Nadas (cure serious song)

 

Gentle whispers in the air,

Nestle ears with warmth and care,

Promises of years to come,

Of a hundred battles yet to come,

Listen now to this reprise,

Watch wounds heal before your eyes

 

 

 

Arduous Regret (weaken song)

 

Empty words, a hollow melody, fading in the night,

Decadent, the warrior now, lost the will to fight,

Sword arm heavy, a struggle just to lift, 
Fingers slipping, fabled strength bereft,

Come now, child, the stage is set,
For the final number,

Your Arduous Regret,

 

 

 

 

 

[The Forsaken]

Yeah, the ones I posted in prayer look like a second grader wrote them compared to these.

[Grimulfr]

Chorus of the Revealed (faerie fog song)

 

Come out and play! Why not today?

The sun is shining brightly.

Do not delay! Come, cast away

the shadows clinging tightly.
'Tis far too fine, for thee and thine

to hide amongst the trees.
So come reveal, with radiant zeal,

yourself for all to see.
 

[mya]

I have used rest in peace in pk quite a bit on the knight bard I had.

[Erelei]

Thanks for the input guys.

 

Bards have been (for the most part) revamped. Songs have been added. Some removed, as well as some skills and spells removed.

 

Help files to come, promise!

 

EDIT: all helpfiles are in. If you find some that aren't there, please let me know!

[The Professor]

I think I know what the next class I roll will be.  

side note: would be cool if Chorus of the Revealed worked like the old Herald faerie fog ability. 

[Erelei]

Help files in.

[Unknown Criminal]

Some songs are spamming up the screen.

Ie: Any song they have to sing multitudes of times like their cure song, I've seen this sung 4-5-6 times every couple battles.

Solution: Cut these specific songs down to one line OR add a check that allows the song and then a "Bard continues to sing 'o sunny days'" for

the consecutive uses.

[f0xx]

That's part of the bards' charm IMO.

[Magick]

For those that are a bit 'spammy', what if for each casting it spits out one line?  And by that I don't mean a one line song, but a multiple line song one line at a time.

 

 

sing cure

You sing 'This is the song that doesn't end...'

 

sing cure

You sing 'Yes it goes on and on, my friend...'

 

sing cure

You sing 'Some people started singing it...'

 

sing cure

You sing 'Not knowing what it was...'

 

sing cure

You sing 'And they'll continue singing it...'

 

sing cure

You sing 'Forever, just because...'

 

sing cure

You sing 'This is the song that doesn't end...'

 

 

 

[Unknown Criminal]

That's part of the bards' charm IMO.

Not everyone likes their screen full of the same charm for a ranking or gathering session but I undersand the

class is supposed to be different, personally I hate seeing songs to the point where I'd like an 'autosong' command

added in with the rest of the autos.
