Bard song 'class' at Silverwood manor

[AestheticDeath]

I saw a clip last night about a meeting of some sort for bards at Silverwood manor... and wasnt able to go.

I was wondering if anyone has a log of it?

Thanks
Mase

[AestheticDeath]

Got a copy - thanks.

[Razarn]

Any chance you could let me have a copy of that too please ?

[Great Hall, South]
Richly colored posies with blooms of pink, yellow, and purple surround an intricately carved birdbath.
Birds of the region flock to the bath, their bright colors and lively songs bringing a joyful atmosphere
to the garden. The occasional squirrel darts across the grass, daring to sneak between the birds for a
quick drink. Carefully clipped lush grass surrounds the colorful garden, offering a place to sit and
enjoy the area before heading into the interior of the manor. You also see a petrified monir cart with
some stuff on it and a carved marble arch.
Obvious paths: north

Ahmeuseng recites:

"Welcome, ever'one, to another Gather an' Gossip."

Ahmeuseng recites:

"Glad ye could join us tonight an', as ye may know, the current gossip is..."

Ahmeuseng recites:

"...all about rhymin' an' singin' an' recitin' an' gettin' a good beat to yer efforts."

Ahmeuseng recites:

"Hope ye will all be extra polite tonight, 'cause we have lotsa things to talk about."

Ahmeuseng recites:

"So, lemme turn ye over right now to one of the bes' gossips in these parts."

Ahmeuseng recites:

"Arpelli, take it from here."

You recite:

"Welcome and thank you for coming to the Composition Techniques Workshop! In no way do I claim to be
an expert on this subject matter, but I wanted to share my time and experience with composition."

You recite:

"Please help yourselves to food and drink, if you haven't already, and make yourselves comfortable."

You recite:

"I will ask you to please keep the movement and chatter down, since there is a lot of information to go over.
Also, if you're singing any spell songs, you may wish to give your vocal cords a rest."

You recite:

"If you are here tonight to learn some ways to improve your loresongs, from an aesthetic standpoint, we should
go over enough information for that. However, I will not be discussing the technical aspects of such. I suggest
you seek out and speak with some experienced bards after the class if you have those questions."


You nod to Dremerie.
You nod to Rastavan.
You nod to Ahmeuseng.

You recite:

"Suggestion number one:


Keep a quill and journal close to your side, at all times. I used to think of the neatest ideas while I was
in the middle of doing something else, and then later, would be unable to recall what I had thought about in the
first place."

You recite:

"I write down ideas and thoughts...names, areas, items, dates, whatever I think might be useful information
at a later time. It's much easier to go back and review things when I'm less distracted. I refer to these notes
frequently when I'm composing, whether it's a performance piece or a loresong. But for me, they are really almost
one in the same."

You recite:

"How about a game to start things off?"

Currin hoots.
Rastavan beams happily at you!
Ahmeuseng lets out a cheer!
Rastavan asks, "Tag?"
You chuckle.

"Let's keep this one rather quick since there's so much to go over. I'm going to call on some of you for assistance."

Pasev bows to Palooka.
Odeo asks, "Smooch the gnome?"
Pasev sits down.
Ahmeuseng begins chuckling at Odeo!
Pasev nods to Palooka.
Rastavan grins at Odeo.

You recite:

"This game is called:


Rhyme is no Crime"

Rastavan beams!

You try hard not to grin.

You recite:

"I will start you out with the first line of a poem, and when I call on you, you will whisper to me the next line,
and I will continue to add each line to the poem and we'll listen to it as we go."

Palooka shifts his weight.
Palooka sits down.
Rastavan chuckles.
Currin frets.

Rastavan says, "I like the sound of this one."

You recite:

"The Castle of Anwyn is full of undead."


You point at Currin.
Currin wails!
Celebrien grins.

You listen carefully to Currin.
Currin exclaims, "I can't rhyme!"
Alifair flashes a quick grin.
Pasev giggles.

You exclaim, "That's why you're here!"
Palooka says, "Rhyme is rather overrated."
Palooka waves his hand in a dismissive gesture.
Celebrien says, "That's a crim."
Currin whimpers.
Ahmeuseng says, "Jus' do the best ye can."
Celebrien says, "Err.. crime."
Currin whispers, "I didn't want to leave my bed."
Celebrien grins.
Currin winks at you.

Currin asks, "How's that?"
You quietly whisper to Currin, "Is that your line?"

You cock your head at Currin.
Currin nods to you.

You nod.
Currin says, "Best I can do."

Currin takes a deep breath.
Ahmeuseng nods to Celebrien.

You recite:

"The Castle of Anwyn is full of undead.

Oh such an ache in my head,
I felt a feeling of terrible dread."

You point at Sylviana.
Rastavan applauds.
Sylviana raises an eyebrow in your direction.
Sylviana flushes slightly, some color reaching her cheeks.

You grin at Sylviana.
Peritta takes a drink from his draught of ale.
Sylviana says, "I have not an ounce of talent Milady, I shall defer to you."
Jovana helps herself to a herb-buttered hot roll.
Sylviana smiles slightly.
Freywith stands up.

You say, "It can be anything...there isn't a right or wrong."
Currin hugs his knees and sways side to side.

Palooka nods to you.

Speaking to Sylviana, you ask, "You wish to pass, still?"

To leave my house I would have sooner been dead,"


You say, "One more..."

You ponder.
Alifair chuckles.
Currin hoots.

You point at Alifair.
Currin exclaims, "Something heroic now!"
Currin nods to Oravia.
Palooka nods to Currin.
Dremerie nods to Ahmeuseng.
Palooka says, "Heroism is rarely overrated."

The have nasty wasps there, or so it is said!"

It is the act of creating written works.

It is something that is created by arranging several things to form a whole."

Pasev takes a drink from her cup of cinnamon coffee.
Currin loses his intense expression.
Dark red droplets seep out of Currin's skin and evaporate.
Palooka just opened a chili pepper embroidered vest.
Currin dusts himself off.
Pasev takes a drink from her cup of cinnamon coffee.

You give your eyebrow a little workout.
Palooka removes a small stone teardrop from in his embroidered vest.

You recite:

"My favorite definition would be 'a mixture of ingredients.'

It's much like a recipe where the end product is your song, poem, or any number of other things.
Every ingredient is yours to choose."

Palooka offers Ahmeuseng a small stone teardrop.
Ahmeuseng accepts Palooka's stone teardrop.

You recite:

"Your first and main ingredient will be your idea or theme."

You nod to Palooka.
Oravia takes a drink from her draught of ale.
Jovana's stomach growls.

Speaking to Palooka, you say, "I'm getting there."

You grin at Palooka.
Palooka removes a pinch of pungent yellow saffron from in his white sack.

Joter says, "No, we are not having a cooking contest, Palooka."
You recite:

"What do you want to do? Do you want to make people laugh with a humorous recount of some personal event?
Or do you want to inform the populace of a fascinating time in history that has been long forgotten?"

Palooka removes a pinch of aromatic cinnamon from in his white sack.
Pasev scratches her head.

You recite:

"Maybe you want to sweep a beautiful woman off her feet with words of praise and flattery? As a side note,
if that's your interest, please see me after class."

You notice Odeo botch an attempt to conceal himself.
Rastavan nods to you.

Rastavan says, "I thought that was the purpose of all songs."
You clear your throat.

You recite:

"If you're a bard, you might want to put your special skills to use to learn the mysteries of an item."

Harliegha smiles at you.

Aurien rubs his chin thoughtfully.
Pasev glances at Rastavan.

You recite:

"Decide your main ingredient first. It makes everything else much easier."

You grin at Joter.
Speaking to himself, Rastavan says, "Maybe I should expand my range. . ."

Speaking to you, Peritta says, "Where was you when i needed the help before I got married."

You chuckle at Peritta.
Jovana shakes her head at Joter and clucks her tongue.
Peritta sighs.
Currin smirks.

Speaking to Peritta, you say, "Probably working on my Bardfest composition."
You stare at nothing in particular.

Palooka says, "Mentor Joter.... you should be concerned for the safety of the audience... to think.. you'd be singing..."
Palooka rolls his eyes.
Peritta grins at you.

You recite:

"Now, once you have decided that main ingredient, you can add some more to the recipe. Decide whether you want
to write a song, or a poem, or a story...there are all kinds of ways to mix your ingredients together."

Harliegha clasps her hand over her mouth.

You recite:

"I heard of one who created puppet shows to convey stories. What a fascinating and amazing thing to do! "


You shift your weight.
Rastavan says, "I remember her."
Ahmeuseng rolls her eyes.
Sylviana smiles.
Rastavan beams!
Alifair chuckles to herself.
Dremerie nods to Rastavan.
Ahmeuseng nods to Rastavan.

You recite:

"Ok, some more ingredients for your 'recipe' will be things like meter and rhythm, and schemes. Sometimes these
come during the writing stage, and aren t really easily known at the start. It s ok. Just be prepared to change it
if what you thought you wanted first, doesn't work."

Dremerie says, "I think she got third place in a Bardfest."
Dremerie nods to Rastavan.
Rastavan nods to Dremerie.
Celebrien says, "Rimalon did a few of those in Solhaven, too."
Oravia sniffs.
Celebrien nods to Oravia.

You recite:

"Rhythm and meter

I think the best way to describe this would be to give you an example. I don't want to run down a long list of
technical verbiage and terms since that's a great way to start confusing everyone."

Lalora agrees with you.

You try hard not to grin.
Freywith says, "I thought she was disqualified for passing gnomes off as puppets."
Rastavan grins.
Currin smirks.
Rastavan begins chuckling at Freywith!
Alifair takes a drink from her cup of cinnamon coffee.

Odeo pouts at Freywith.
You ponder the meaning of Freywith's existence.
Peritta laughs at Freywith!

You chuckle.

You recite:

"Rhythm and meter is a rhythmical pattern of syllables, or the way a line feels the way you can tap it out with
your foot or hand. How many beats or syllables are there? Where do the beats fall in the line?"

Jovana begins chuckling at Freywith!

You recite:

"I'm sure you have all heard of a limerick, right? "

Currin nods.

You give your eyebrow a little workout.
Ahmeuseng nods to you.
Lalora exclaims, "My favorites!"
Harliegha nods to you.
Rastavan nods.

You turn to Lalora and cheer!
Adyr nods.
Oravia adopts an agreeable expression.

You recite:

"There is a specific rhythm to a limerick. Even if you think you could never, EVER write a limerick, I bet you
could 'da da da' it out, so that it had the proper rhythm."

Palooka asks, "Once was a man in a bucket?"
Rastavan says, "There once was a bardess named Arpelli. I heard her socks were rather. . ."
Rastavan says, "Oh, sorry."
Palooka works his fingers under his silk wizard's hat and scratches his head.
Freywith says, "Dirty Lymrics should be part of every bard compitition."

(Ahmeuseng puts her hand over Palooka's mouth.)

You lean back.

Peritta begins chuckling at Ahmeuseng!
Pasev nods to Freywith.

You recite:

"Listen to this carefully. See if you can feel the rhythm. The bigger sounding ones are where you put emphasis."

Rastavan smiles at you.

You grin at Rastavan.
Rastavan turns an inquisitive ear towards you.

You recite:

"Da DUM da da DUM da da DUM.
Da DUM da da DUM da da DUM.
Da DUM da da DUM,
Da DUM da da DUM,
Da DUM da da DUM da da DUM."


You clear your throat.
Rastavan nods.

You recite:

"You can hear that the first two lines each have eight beats,
The next two lines have five beats,
And then last line has eight beats.

Sometimes a line will have an extra beat, nine instead of eight. However, I'm not going there tonight. I'll save
that one for another time."

Odeo asks, "What language was that?"
Odeo works his fingers under his peaked jester's hat and scratches his head.
Ahmeuseng snickers at Odeo.
Lalora says, "Gnomish."
Rastavan grins.
Currin takes a bite of his ear of corn.
Currin makes a horrible face!
Odeo whines at Lalora!
Peritta says, "PaLOoKa it works."
Currin coughs.
Peritta leans on Palooka.
Lalora says, "A special kind of gnomish."
Palooka begins chuckling at Peritta!
Lalora nods to Odeo.

You recite:

"Let me give you another example. Take this first line of a well known Elanthian limerick:

There once was an elf from Vaalor.


Eight beats in that line, right?"

Odeo says, "Hmm."

You give your eyebrow a little workout.
Rastavan nods.
Currin nods.

You nod.
Sylviana nods to you.
Odeo agrees with you.
Rastavan takes a bite of his minced apple tart.

You recite:

"You can hear that da DUM da da DUM rhythm, right?"


You give your eyebrow a little workout.
Jovana scratches her chin.
Ahmeuseng agrees with you.
Sylviana ponders.
Sylviana nods.
Peritta says, "Now I know why I a Rogue, I got seven."
Peritta ponders.
(Palooka hears da dums, indeed.)

You chuckle at Peritta.
Palooka nods.
Freywith recites:

"A rash on his foot was sore"


Speaking to Freywith, you say, "That's seven."
Jovana nods to Freywith.
Peritta beams!

You flash a wide grin.

You recite:

"Listen to this line:

The minstrel plays a jaunty tune.


How many beats are there?"

Jovana reaches down and works her fingers inside her black velvet boots to scratch her foot.
Rastavan grins.
Pasev taps a crystal amulet that she is wearing.
Peritta says, "See I not the only one."
Odeo says, "Four."
Cordelia says, "Eight."
Harliegha smiles at Peritta.
Peritta begins chuckling at Harliegha!
Rastavan nods to Cordelia.

You applaud Cordelia.
Lalora asks, "Seven and a half?"
Alifair chuckles.
Rastavan says, "And nice, consistent rhythm."
Rastavan nods.

You nod to Rastavan.
Palooka says, "Consistency is rather overrated."
Palooka waves his hand in a dismissive gesture.

You recite:

"It still has the same number of beats as the first line in that limerick but the rhythm of the line is completely
different."

Peritta agrees with Palooka.
Ahmeuseng begins chuckling at Palooka!
Rastavan grins at Palooka.
Rastavan nods to you.
Marclar quietly says, "Hey..hey...no one said math was involved in music..."
Marclar squints.

You recite:

"Everyone hear the difference?

The emphasis in that particular line happens to fall every other beat. da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM."

Rastavan nods.
Peritta pulls on Marclar, trying to get him closer.
Marclar leans on Peritta, giving him a companionable grin.
Oravia appears consumed with inner conflict.

You recite:

"Still with me?"

You chuckle at Oravia.

You chuckle at Oravia.
Marclar nods to you.
Oravia bites her lip.
Peritta says, "Emm, I hate trick questions."
Oravia blushes a nice shade of light pink.
Rastavan says, "Sorry, something in my throat."
Alifair scowls at Rastavan.
Rastavan takes a drink from his draught of ale.
Rastavan snickers.

You recite:

"Ok, so we have two lines that both have eight beats in them, but that flow differently.

This differentiation or fluctuation and change, is referred to as the meter or rhythm of your composition."

Dremerie stands up.
Lalora just went north.
Dremerie sits down.

You recite:

"Sometimes when I'm writing, I play around with the meter and rhythm. I am most comfortable with simple rhythms, but others prefer more complicated ones. You'll find one that works best for you."

Mentor Lalora's group just came through a carved marble arch.

You nod.
Rastavan smiles.
Dremerie hugs Khenan, who wraps her in a warm embrace.
You wave to Khenan.
Khenan hugs Dremerie, who wraps him in a warm embrace.

You recite:

"Once you have thought about the meter and rhythm, you can think about what kind of scheme you would like to have. The scheme is how your end words will rhyme with the rest of the other lines' end words.

For example:

The minstrel plays a jaunty tune,
Beneath the night sky's glowing moon.
He strums the strings upon his lute,
And sings of maids of ill repute."

Cordelia gives Khenan a friendly hug.
Lalora joins Ahmeuseng's group.
Cordelia leans on Khenan, giving him a companionable grin.
Currin chuckles.
Ahmeuseng starts chuckling at you!
Oravia smirks.

Rastavan beams happily at you!

You chuckle.
Khenan says, "Rotting corpses not fun."

You grin at Khenan.
Rastavan grins at Khenan.

You recite:

"There are four lines in this verse, and each line has how many beats?"


You give your eyebrow a little workout.

You point at Oravia.
Cordelia says, "Eight."
(Rastavan counts on his fingers)
Oravia smirks.
Rastavan nods to Cordelia.
Odeo whines.
Freywith says, "8."
Oravia says, "What she said."
Peritta says, "Wow, no wonder you Bards die so much, with all that thinking on making a song no way could you pay attention to whats trying to kill you."

Rastavan smiles brightly.
You grin.

Joter says, "Thirty-two."
You nod.
Currin nods.
Lalora snickers.
Rastavan begins chuckling at Peritta!
Cordelia begins chuckling at Peritta!

You recite:

"Now, each of these lines we will refer to with a number...one, two, three and four."

Rastavan nods to Peritta.
Peritta grins at Rastavan.
Currin appears to be trying hard not to grin.
Oravia takes a drink from her draught of ale.

You ponder the meaning of Rastavan's existence.
Rastavan snickers.
Rastavan nods to you.
Peritta starts chuckling at you!

You recite:

"Lines one and two rhyme with each other, and lines three and four rhyme with each other.

This follows a scheme of A A B B."

A swarm of black spiders erupt from the folds of Lalora's spidersilk cloak and forms a pattern.
Pasev nods.

You recite:

"By the way, in rhyming you can use words that are not spelled exactly the same, like the words 'hour' and 'flower'. Any words that have the same ending vowel or consonant sounds would be a rhyme."

Rastavan smiles.

You nod.

You recite:

"So back to that verse, we had a scheme of A A B B. What if we wanted to mix it up a bit?

Listen to this:

The minstrel plays a jaunty tune,
He strums the strings upon his lute.
Beneath the night sky's glowing moon,
He sings of maids of ill repute."

You recite:

"Who can tell me the scheme of this one?"

Rastavan smiles.
Celebrien says, "A B A B."
Alifair says, "ABAB."
Peritta says, "Oh oh."
Rastavan nods.
Peritta raises his hand.

You let out a cheer!
Rastavan smiles.
Currin nods.
Peritta exclaims, "I got that one!"
Dremerie asks, "He's gonna get gelded?"

Dremerie peers quizzically at you.

You chuckle at Dremerie.
Rastavan shudders.

You shrug at Dremerie.

Speaking to Dremerie, you ask, "Wanna write the rest of it?"

You try hard not to grin.
The bright luminescence fades from around Odeo.
Rastavan says, "I don't think I want her writing the rest of it."
Dremerie clasps her hand over her mouth.
Rastavan looks over at you and shakes his head.
Rastavan shudders.

You laugh softly, trying to hide your amusement.
The silvery luminescence fades from around Odeo.

You recite:

"When you are working with rhymes in your composition, it's pretty easy to find words that rhyme with one another."

You recite:

"Let's try some rhyming.


Everyone call out some rhymes for these words."
