((I'm probably not gonna be here when abertholl dies tomorrow or Saturday during this fight. As such I'll tell the story.))
Abertholl should use story time as soon as possible to gain insight on the baron. He tells this story now for it.
"Once upon a midnight dreary I sought a lass whom's cheeks were teary. Open upon a lonely house she hid away like a mouse. Through and new came of twilight and the broken shards of starry highlight. She spook of ill left mute of quill. If one could cure her ail they could have de greatest tale. Little fear in all the realm I found in the land of Cwealm. Dark and cold full of snow with the bark of dog for all the know. The lonely house full of evil made me snivel. Yet in said home was solitude for those without fortitude. Lonely lass in the land of withered grass. Confused I saw the pale bonnie lass with so little sass. All she did at first was ask, where do those alone go bask. In the glory of the gods away from the other sods. Oh lonely lass in the land of withered grass I offered ye a song of mirth near your hearth. Spiders etched across the wall and strange sounds from the hall. I sang for all so not to fall. To the home of night in that lonely house of twilight. I pleased the strange lass of Cwealm who was made whelm by emotions from a knavish dwarf as much as water on the wharf. Cruel abode turned gilded cage and the lass lost her rage. I woke from a daze to see the house once again in the haze. Then left from the evil realm of the land of Cwealm."
((That's an amazing story and worthy of a 20. I'm kind of worried that if I spoil the Baron now, that you guys will all flip and Sus will desert because of it... Oh well.))
Abertholl casts Story Time and with his Daredevil Attribute, he gets a 20 on the Story.
