Tribute to an old Halfling Mob

Postby Wobb » Wed Oct 15, 2003 7:55 pm

In the month of storms, 23 days from the last twin moon,
a raging fire burns on; made of oak, pine and poon.
It crept through a village leaving ash, grime and soot,
it's inevitable devastation set Waterdeep's soldiers afoot.

Came to the call honorable lads did they,
well-wishers and do-gooders ready to fight (come what may).
A young paladin on his horse, a barbarian and his hammer,
a dashing elf with his bow and a stout dwarf heard the clamor.

A blazing field of wheat with a tall shape at it's crest,
crackling, popping, burning as the figure moved abreast.
A grim look upon their faces grew, jaws locked, eyes fixed.
straying far from his home stood the prince of fire, Imix.

Four poor souls were about to meet their maker,
when who should come to play but the halfling "Bob" the baker?
In a mad dash that only a haired-foot could manifest,
Bob raised his rolling pin and charged, surely-though in jest.

A flaming arm swung down that would surely fry the cook,
but Bob the baker was quicker and clever and dove into a nook.
Imix tripped and rolled a bit leaving his limbs-a-dangle,
whereupon Bob the baker saw his chance....THERE THE ANKLE!

Imix screamed in agony as the halfling's teeth sunk in,
draining all his life force, extinguishing flames and din.
Cheers from all around and even to this day,
they celebrated victory of a halfling who'd lost his way.

In the years that followed, Bob became a legend.
Tales were passed along by generations of children...
...of the mighty halfling, their lord protector and fighter.
But we all know the truth, he was just a splendid ankle-biter.

Hehe

Mobs named Bob always kick ass.

Check out the Bob NPC in the IN campaign - he tends to singlehandedly take on 4 PCs at once despite being based on the same number of points as them ;)
