All Hail, Sondra the Great!

by Sondra

After returning to the town after triumphantly leading her party to battle against the Orcs, the party rests up. To her shock and amazement, one evening she walks down to the common room and is greeted by Birgitta the Bard, on her dulcimer, singing of their adventures!

Oh hear you, all you common folk
Gather round to hear the tale
Of the greatest warrior ’round
Sondra the Great! All hail!

She lead her party into battle
The peril she did savor
Overwhelmed by the enemy
Not once did she e’er waver

Though orcs and arrows came her way
Her path was true as water
And soon behind her were her folk
Who followed her to slaughter.

Our poor small town was ravaged by
A band of evil doers
Great Sondra tracked them to their cave
And put their heads on skewers

Sondra could do anything
Great beauty was upon her
Her sword skill like no other maid
And bright as a wizard scholar

Yet Sondra knew of the poor poor folk
Whose hero was a goner
So she found a party of adventurers
And went to defend their honor

The battle raged for many a day
The hills were bathed in blood
Poor Sondra and her men laid slain
Midst the bodies and the mud

But Great Sondra knew her end may come
So in her wisdom chose
A cleric and some other folk
Who could lead her from death’s close

Great Sondra rose like the sun midst the darkness
Like a Phoenix bird
Raised from the dead like a myth of old
No death could bar her ownward

So hail all ye, to Sondra the great
The warrior and the beauty
No orcs, nor arrows nor her very own death
Could keep her from her duty

So shout from your mouths a cry of thanks
To Great Sondra and her party
They saved our small but grateful town
All in the name of honor.

Sondra bows after the song, grateful to all the poor poor townfolk here who are unable to defend themselves.

“Had I but more than one life to give for you, I would,” she exclaims truthfully. Though she knows she didn’t do all the work in the battle, she knows that her leadership skills were why they defeated their enemies and she cannot wait to lead them to more victory. Sondra buy a bowl of soup and a hunk of bread and heads upstairs, proud of her work, but not wanting to cause a riot. The last thing she hears as she closes her door is “Hail, Sondra, our protector, HAIL!”

She eats with a smile on her face, wondering what adventures will come their way in the morn.
