    Default New Mad Minstrel song ideas

    I'd like to write some new Mad Minstrel songs to appear in future ADOM versions, but I'm a little low on inspiration. Anyone feel like suggesting things they'd like to hear songs about, or game content they think should be hinted at further? (currently the songs function a bit like hints without spoilers)

    Hey, this is sickly
    And I'm imposing
    But I love chaos
    So corpses maybe?

    Don't eat your greens, don't eat your greens!
    Leave that kobold alone - you know where its been?!

    Wild bugs drive you mad, eating demons is sad,
    Multi-coloured scales swallowed whole make you glad!

    The muscles of giants give strength galore,
    Try quicklings and swiftly you'll want some more!

    Spider legs turn your stomach to steel,
    Whilst ant flesh makes an acidic meal.

    Eating dead relatives will make you feel tough,
    But do-goody sorts might soon treat you rough.

    Blink dog liver lets you feel in control,
    And there's vigour to drink from the blood of a troll.

    Eating sagely brains may open your mind,
    But were-flesh won't treat your innards too kind.

    If elemental attacks make your knees quake
    Then feast on a cut of fresh dragon steak.

    So before you try some new type of meat,
    Always remember - you are what you eat!

    That hungry troll
    He liked to toll
    And eat his fill at the end of the fight

    As he indulged
    His muscles bulged
    Refueling his tremendous might

    He'd snack on rats
    And giant bats
    Before the neck of a dragon he would bite!

    But one dark time
    In a dungeon of grime
    He met a doppelganger king at the end of the night

    Without a meal
    He lost his zeal
    And his strength was fading against this fright

    Confused in mind
    Thoughts gone blind
    Whilst a reflection of himself stood in his sight

    Hunger gnawed
    The monster clawed
    And he knew he was in a terrible plight

    He went mad with rage!
    On a clubbing rampage!
    And the doppler turned in cowardly flight

    Club went wham
    King went slam
    Its corpse battered by the sudden spite

    Troll thought "Gee,
    This meat look like me,
    But me really is hungry after that long fight!"

    And so he ate
    And it tasted great!
    Aye, never since has he dined on such a delight!

    Here's a couple limericks:

    There once was a troll named Moo.
    Who earned a fate many that would rue.
    He was cursed by a wizard.
    And kicked a strange lizard.
    Then in the dark was eaten by a grue.

    There once was a dwarf named Throng
    Who used magic to make himself strong.
    Of items he'd own,
    A million stone,
    That crushed him when the spell was gone.

    The untimely death of Brog,
    Came while he was drinking much grog,
    He drank from a pool,
    Many times, that fool,
    And had death by exploding frog.

    There once was a grey elf named Figury,
    Who was feeling a soul in agony.
    He ventured across,
    A mass of chaos,
    And his long life there ended in tragedy.

    Acquiring the platinum girdle,
    They say is a tremendous hurdle,
    Your virtue upheld,
    And no lawfuls be felled,
    It is a quest most terribly infernal.

    I present to you, The Ballad of the Stone Circle.

    Once the Darknight is almost gone,
    a monolith shall shine
    You shall enter an ancient land,
    yet will not will not come in straight

    For the path is curved and guarded,
    by more than one vile beast
    'Tis wise to avoid the dragon,
    to whom you are a feast

    Beware the dragon's toxic claws,
    or you will soon be dead
    Dodge his strikes and avoid his bolts,
    Take the crown from his head

    Once the Darknight is almost gone,
    a monolith shall shine
    And once the dragon's been dispatched,
    Make sure you do not dine

    Prior to the adom 1.2.0 and new corruptions ideas:

    If you are in need of trouble
    corruptions will make that double.
    You can corrupt if you please.
    Your fists will become a knees.

    Large dog was mine, 'till the time, that I found it,
    bittin' assassin, and fightin' him.
    Then rat came along, not so strong , that's what I thought.
    Found raccoon, but it died soon.
    Don't know that I will, but until, I can find me,
    a pet who'll stay, and won't play games behind me.
    I'll be what I am,
    a solitary man, a solitary man.

    A song that hints at how he is related to the fool in Terinyo, perhaps?
    You steal a scroll labelled HITME. The orc hits you.
