Dwarven War Chant

[Inwintersshadow]

This was a special request from Curm. Facilitating this would take some work but I am confident it would be frightening if coordinated correctly.


Imagine this is being chanted on a battlefield with aurochs horns speaking their deep-throated roar over a battlefield with the skirling-mad warpipes accompanying them in the background.
Over that you hear the deep-voiced chanting of the dwarven beserkers in varying 2,3, and 4-part harmony.
Hunger
listen listen (whispered – sounding like stone sharpening steel))
listen to my axe (quiet deep voice)
listen listen (more commanding)
listen to it speak (hissing command – like an axe whistling through a figure-8)
hungry-hungry (whispered – sounding like stone sharpening steel))
listen to my axe (quiet deep voice)
hungry-hungry (more commanding)
listen to it speak (hissing command – like and axe whistling through a figure-8)

Feed me! Feed me! Feed me! Feed me! (Whispered – sounding like stone sharpening steel))
Listen to my axe (quiet deep voice)
Hungry-Feed me! (Deep-croaking voice)
Listen to my axe (Stern-commanding)
Feed me-Hungry! (Deep-croaking voice)
Listen to my axe (Stern-commanding)
listen listen listen listen (whispered – sounding like stone sharpening steel))

Feed me! (Ravenous-howling Roar)

Orcs sometimes awaken in a sweat from that nightmare....

Alaghor Battle March

Marching down into a tunnel I heard a mighty roar
It was a wild Alaghor treating orcs like a toy
So pick your feet up and move on double-time
We’ve got us pigs to chop – and they’re runn’n fast

ALAGHOR; AXES HIGH!

Way down in the tunnel I heard a mighty roar
It was a laugh’n Alaghor treating goblins like a toy
So pick your feet up and move on double-time
We’ve got us greenies to chop – and they’re runn’n fast

ALAGHOR; AXES HIGH!

Way down in the tunnel I heard a mighty roar
It was a grin’n Alaghor treating ogres like a toy
So pick your feet up and move on double-time
We’ve got us pongos to chop – and they’re runn’n fast

ALAAAAAAAAAAGHOOOOOOORRRRRR!

[viigas]

we just need a way to add songs like this on the fly with the DM soundFX gadget and I had been in RP heaven

imagen the effect.. squad of geared up dwarfs moving down a tunnel soon to join the frey and then compare that to a similar thing for say the elfs They would likey have some bling bling silly sounding "symbal" going bliirrrpiiing at every stroke to fit to a song of how silent their arrow are, of brittle flowers and colorful birds that wash in the falling rain a summerday... naa FEED ME!!! FEED ME!

Lets go wake the orcs and tell them its not a dream shall we

*Bump*

[dergon darkhelm]

Readies himself to sing all of the above! (off-key of course)

[Rumple C]

Rumple to the rescue!

The TKL instrument can transcribe lyrics onto an item (song sheet).

Any pc can then sing along using this item. (though no music offcourse with no instrument).

So all the dwarves can wave axes, and sing all manner of threatening things (or "twinkle twinkle little star", whutever).

WOOT

[Rumple C]

I you got really tricky as well, it could be turned into a harmony, where one dwarf sings only his relevent part. Youd really just need to work on everyones timing to start singing at the "right" time

[Brokenbone]

Good bump.

I'd be ripping off nursery rhyme level stuff like "Row Row Row your Boat" except with words like Drink/Ale or Kill/Orc or Grow/Beard. So I salute your talents.

Grow, grow grow your beard;
gently down your breast.

Dorfies are the best!
