A Preface:
All right this is the second Black Ride for the DAG, and I'd like to say a few things bfore it begins. Nirv while you're not technically a DAGer (pronounced dagger) you're a close enough friend to be allowed to ride with us. Lyddi I know I'm not using your official title I don't speak german and so couldn't play off it in the post so I just wen with the older one, let me know what it means and I'll use it for the next Ride. If anyone has anything they want said in the next one let me know and I'll do my best.
So it begins.
Amidst the flames and screams
that did abound on the BBS
there arose a great and ominous
creaking from the depths of the earth
The independents looked wildly
and the PC gazed down from
the heights of their guarded haven
Snooble, a mountain fastness
With a great grinding the earth
opened to spill forth a noxious vapor
and through it's poisoned cloud
all saw the legions of DAG ride out
At their head came FUNKbrs
the Black Pedagogue, an ebon
skinned giant with teeth and nails
of molten steel and hair of flame
He came bearing enlightenment
in the fires within his eyes
and understanding flowed from
his mouth like a bitter elixir
To his right came Cannibal7878
a Three Headed Beast with bloody
hands and lips, madness glowed
from his eyes and he gloried in it
His mouths spat curses that fell
like thunder from the heavens and
his fists sturck all before him
to break them and leave them tormented
To his left strode Shih
the High Cleric, a slender man
clad in robes of black and argent
his face hidden in shadows
His steps echoed in the silence
that shrouded him as his eyes
gazed at the skies to watch
for the PC and warn them of the DAG
Behind them rode Nitroxide
the Chemical master
his right han dripped poison pain
and his left poisoned pleasure
Where he stepped the land died
and in his wake all fell with
their sanities stripped away by
the blinding poisons he was made of
Next to them came Judge_Dredd
the DAGs Juridicial Master
his body hidden in shadows and
the sacred garb of his solemn post
He bore his great book with him
taking all the names of the fallen down
that they might be sorted and
accounted for, no soul escaped his gaze
Above them flew Lyddiechu
the Speaker of Forbidden Tounges
her opalescent wings hiding
her jagged fangs and razored tounge
From on high she'd cast down her
curses and the black tounges she
spake seared the very souls of
the listeners and left them shells
Last of the DAG GnarlyCar walked forth
a Speaker of the Elders, he strode
in full confidence for his eyes had
seen worse over the years and he'd endured
He bore his golden coin stamped and
minted in the fires of hell he would
place them on the fallen ones eyes
and so bought their souls for the DAG
And finally walked Nirvana
the DAGs Lost Siren her skin
glowed with the PCs strength
but her eyes held the DAGs darkness
She walked slowly for her heart
was torn between loyalty to the PC
brethren and the DAGs grip on her heart
she could be neither all light nor all dark
This was the DAGs Black Ride
and all fell or fled before them
as they rode the barren plains
towards the base of Snooble
Where they waited and prepared
for the PCs to arm their hosts
and sound their trumpets
for the clash that was to come
