The Tale of Four Truffles

*** Hear now the tale of a disgruntled Tevan cleric named Anino (that much you should know...)


When first heard Of the great event
I knew to fail this quest, I just can't
A truffle and a King's Choco
That's the true quest for me, Anino!

In times of the heart, A perfect setup
To propose marriage, For the girl I truly want...

So naturally, I grind n' grit my teeth
To find a king and truffle
Not for me, but for her,
the archer I have met...

Lady Luck frowns, much to my dismay
For twenty-eight hours, I labored away
I died not a few times
But monsters grew wary of my crimes...

But, alas, only mousse I have amassed
Dejected, I've returned, to purchase what I yearned
Ah, Elderine, Your merchants have a ready grin
But my coppers are nothing to the silvers they hint...

But I persisted, I did
And so found, a merchant with a golden heart
(or maybe just desperate for ready silver, i would rather)
Thirty-five silvers, he says, for the thirty-three in my
hand...

Among merchants demanding eighty-silvers for a truffle
A bargain, I thought, and so
For two silvers, I sold my best mace 'n shield
Then I went back to the merchant, my thirty-five to yield
Now in my hand, a truffle I finally have!

Now, the king's choco,
Almost the same tale, you can follow...
(That much you should know...)

Armed with sweets, I searched for her
To find her dancing in a gather
I melted instead of my burden
To see her crowned and changed...

Again, I melted away
And used my prize to crown my head
And cut my hair...

Again, I met her, seeking praises to my new fame
And to ask her to be my wife
But, no, for ice freeze my guts,
To see her now beyond my level,
She, a forty for my lowly thirty-five
ah, now that hurts...

(If you're curious though,
If this is you
or someone you know
Her name sounds
like delicious,
that's what it is...
But it's not in English,
you should know...)

I took my letdown, to the monsters I frown
Oh, how ironic, my second truffle, found and unseek
I stood there and watch as a girl mage come
And took off with my prize...
(That KS *****!)

How unfortunate for me,
That she's a good looking lass
Otherwise, I would kick her ***...

[Well, hey! I'm a sucker for good looking girls...]

Now, with a party of three
A lady friend and her friend
I got my third truffle and gave without a pause,
When Sweet_Franny ask, of course...

[Well, hey! I'm a sucker for good looking girls...]

In Roumen and Elderine and even Sandhill
I scoured the shops and queried merchants
For a good mace, a good shield, and an even better boots...
But it is in Elderine, where a friend ambushed me
A truffle he wants, and so I bought him one...

[Well, hey! I'm a sucker for good looking girls... but he doesn't count!]

So many yield, to my new mace, my new shield
(Now where can I find a good pair of boots?)

Alone in the graveyard of the dead
Monsters great in strength
But all gave way, my aura is great...
And so my fourth truffle, come so late...
(I said, fourth, of course!)

Now, I truly wonder, what awaits this truffle blunder...?
