"Twas the night before Wizardry (resurrected)"
LAST EDITED ON Dec-03-09 AT 07:53 PM (Pacific)

(I thought of the first line, and just had to do the whole thing)

Twas the night before Wizardry and all through the monastery
Not a creature was stirring, not even a pestilent rat

The rotting corpse was hung by the graveyard with care
In hopes that some holy water soon would be there

The spiders were nestled all snug in their webs
While visions of unwary adventurers danced in their heads

And Vi in her War Bikini and Myles in a Feathered Cap
Were sneaking in the bank to pick locks and divine trap

When out in the Wilds there arose such a clatter
I cast Return to Portal to see what was the matter

Up walked a Golem so I cast Blinding Flash
Then our Samurai with Katana tore him a bloody gash

Flaunting her breasts like some cheap ho
Al-Sedexus made us an offer, we just couldn't say no

When what to our X-ray eyes should appear
But eight tiny red dots and a flask of beer (oops, sorry, that was ale - but it didn't rhyme)

With our nimble Rogue, so lively and quick
There isn't a pocket we can't pick (well, before the patch that is

More rapid than eagles, level 10 we became
And we whistled and shouted, "Oh, what a game!"

Now Gamespot! Not Slashdot! Our bandwidth is slippin'
Oh come on now, if we run out what would you be missin'

To Ascension Peak! To the Cosmic Circle!
Now what in the hell rhymes with circle :?

As dry leaves before our Whirlwind fly
When we meet any obstacle, it is sure to die (ok, so it took 12 reloads, but it died, that is the important part)

And up in the treetops of Trynton we knew
The Rattkin were there and Barlone too

And then on the board I heard someone goofed
And in the next toxic cloud, there was the proof

As we drew in our breath we started to turn green
This is the worst toxic cloud we have ever seen (aside from the "bean scene" in Blazing Saddles)

Though we are dressed in leather from head to foot
We'd all be in plate mail if we just had more loot

A bundle of goodies we share in our party pack
Though it is a bit cumbersome to access, when we attack

The golems eyes how they twinkle! Though they are very scary!
But they soon fall apart, when we toss them a cherry (bomb)

Our Ranger is quite plucky, just like his Elven Bow
Always some smart-ass remark, followed closely by a Shrike Arrow

Raven's bloody stump we held for a while
Funny how his face was stuck in a smile

Like a glutinous glob that is just way too smelly
After you kill a Slime what do you do with the jelly?

Our rogue is another jolly old elf
Who loves nothing more than to steal from Antone's shelf

He wants a Djiin's eye from out of its head
I suppose to make some weapon or really nasty bread

Those Higardi patrols keep straight to their work
If you go to Arnika, don't act like a jerk

And laying a finger aside of his staff
The savant henchmen is gone in a flash

When we see the cosmic circle, we let out a whistle
To think we started out as weak as the down of a thistle

And we heard the Dark Savant exclaim as we came into sight
Put down that pen, or it'll be one hell of a fight!

Around 2 am. Santa stopped by and found me curled up in a fetal position sobbing. I explained to him that I did not understand Chinese, Greek and theoretical physics. He took pity on me and all is well this morning.

Merry Christmas Melissa!!

LOL That is going to be an instant classic. I'm going to save that wonderful story so that when my son is old enough to understand Wizardry he to may be amused.

Merry Christmas every one.

Now if santa had only given me that Wiz 7 completed save game i asked him for.

I wonder how much time creating this took you, Llevram. Nifty!

Put it in the lobby with a Merry Christmas sign above it, would make a good xmas gift. (in case some unlucky fellow missed reading it )

\- Gondolkodom, pedig vagyok!
/- I think, even though I am.

6. "About 1/2 hour"
Well, it is not for everyone, as it includes quite a few spoilers (and didn't want to take the time to edit them out last night, nor would it be as good)

7. "RE: Twas the night before Wizardry"
ALRIGHT! I have read and reread the posts. I have heard and seen with my own eye and ear (how do you think I got the name Ogre) what the result of all the hard work on the part of Sir-Tech has achieved and have a very good idea finally. I will go STEAL a PC from somewhere. Really soon cause I am really getting really jealous of everyone having fun while I am only reading. Really. You know. YOU ALL need to really understand that IF any of you would kind of allow me to move in I promise to only use your computer when you are not around, or sleeping cause I really need to PLAY TOO. I unfortunately don't do windows, but I cook and sew and am not above passing the sweeper 1 or 2 times a year.
(Gee it is sad to cry at my age, sniffle)
Your envious and jealous buddy Ogre.
PS. In all seriousness. It is indeed wonderful to see everyone re-energized again. The long wait is over.

Great poem Rick.

It is hard to believe that that poem has been around for 4 years now. How long have we been playing wiz 8? And I have Wiz gold installed and I am considering another tour there?

Merry Christmas to all.
