An Ode to My Friends

The drinks will flow and the dice start to roll
As we prepare to set off on our adventure
The group is all here and there’s nothing to fear
Pressing on to even further our tenure
Great foes we have felled on our journey together
Some quite small, others too deadly
Riches received and battles were won
Exploits that are worthy of their own merry melody
Some members have prospered, others have fallen
But the group still continues on
There is always new blood just round the corner
To ensure that the war will be won
Our story is worthy of its own epic tale
One of heroism, danger, and deceit
Some fight only for the love of the gold
Others humble thanks are all we receive
Through experience we grow and gain our strength
Found treasure becomes our own blade
At the end of the night all is made well
As long as the game through the night is well played.
