Fort Vigilwave
Two rat guards in full uniform stand to attention by the massive stone gates of
the fortress of Sampetra. They eye you suspiciously and cross their spears in
front of you, barring the way. "Halt! Who goes there!" You uncertainly
answer that Sagitar personally gave you permission to enter. The spears uncross
and you cautiously enter. The gates slam behind you as you stare about the
wide courtyard and a young gray rat scurries up to you. "This way please
follow me. Milady Sagitar is waiting in the Great Hall." Eagerly you
follow the youngster past a squad of ferrets, weasels, and stoats at arms
practice. As soon as you enter the Great Hall, the first thing you notice is
the multitude of skillfully woven tapestries depicting great battle scenes
and stone tablets intricately carved with the works of liturature of many
talented creatures. Sagitar Sawfang stands alone in the center of the room on
a rich scarlet rug. "Welcome to my fortress. Now that all my enemies are
dead, I am the sole ruler here, but I think you will find me a more just
soverin than those who stood here in the past. Feel free to look around and
add your own mark to these ancient walls."

Corsair Bragging Song
________
Oh, I'm the babe of a blood ripper
Born in the teeth of a gale
I'm the one who weilds the sword
And makes the foe-beast wail
I'm sharp as a reef rock
Carry death in me paw
Go where I want
Slay who I will
That's the corsair's law
Blood's my favorite color
I'm quicker'n lightnin' aye
Stand out of me way, stand out I say
Step aside now or die!
'Cause I'm the spawn o' nightstorm
And death sails in me wake
I sheath my sword in innards
And what I want I take!
Come on, come all, I'm waitin'
I'll flay your carcass bare
So everywhere I go they'll say
Ahoy you bold corsair!
