Lord Fear arrived

Autumn of '91

Spent Series 5

Just sitting on his bum

A man of scarlet eyes

Made evil fun

The Opposition post-Mogdred

He set his sights on Marblehead

Had his first lair

Upon, or in, Mount Fear

Waited to scare

A wandering dungeoneer

When Hands or Skarkill called

He liked to jeer

And many classic lines were said

Before he moved to Marblehead

I began four years before

To send those kids through the dungeon door

Watch 'em as they try to reach Level 3

Helped by folk of Powers That Be

But dungeon kids aren't hard to kill

When I cast DISMISS: a bitter pill

Magic them out then send some more

What do they keep on questing for?

Lord Fear was crushed

When some red dragon fell

He moved to Goth

It had a better smell

He laid his traps, and yes

He raised more hell

A troll dropped on him, so he fled

And filled the halls of Marblehead

And Pickle filled my Book of Quests

And I'd shut him up when he disgressed

And the children mostly failed their tests

I saw the elf get quite depressed

And on one dark September day

I learned my elf had gone away

And at my heartstrings my losses tore

What do we keep on questing for?

And so Majid'and I went to his place

To make a peace

With Lord Fear, face to face

He made my genie laugh

What a disgrace

And then he fireballed her dead

So glad I came to Marblehead
