We were fortunate enough to have two entries into the Tavern Song Contest, so you get to vote for the one you like best! The winner will get the 20 token prize, which they can use to get free Steam keys. The vote will last for two days from the start of this post.

Elbbsas's Entry

Evening, lads and lasses. I've got an option for our here songs 'n dance. It's named after the Raintrix -- a pretty little flier, that. Course it only pops up once in the tune, but who cares aye? The total title's the Raintrix Flight. Feh. I'm damn sure those birds aren't gonna let about anyone hop on their backs, but again, who cares? What you might care 'bout is how half the song went missing. Only got the first half, ye-see?

How I know? Well, 'cause the base of the song's a thing by Mike Bridge... something called Halfling Camp? That there has another chunk of verses to Raintrix Flight's few, and it cuts off after the first chorus. Most only know the chorus, so that no loss.

Raintrix Flight

Spoiler

Cold is creeping at the door
But we keep it locked out there
Pick up your rum, assorted scum
We'll shout in disrepair!

We'll yodel to our mountains
Ride a raintrix to its call
And we’ll laugh at those below us
That are too scared they would fall

So salute all our fellows
Hyperion or Wintrean
Ignore the backstabs and the jokes
Of wolves that hunt the night

Let halls be filled with laughter
And lightning crashes falter
We ignore the frost without a cost
And we keep our spirits bright

CHORUS
The fire’s hot and so’s the pot
There’s tankards full of wine
So grab a mug of what you want
And chug until you’re blind!
The region’s full of acute chill
But we keep it out of mind
So gather now and here we vow
To drink till the fires die.


Edit: Changed one line.

Gerrick's Entry

So to prevent there from being only one entry, I decided to come up with a quick and easy song. It's based off the Green Dragon song from the Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King.

Green Dragon Song

Also, I wasn't sure exactly which tavern we're making a song for, but I assumed it's the Frostbite Tavern. And I've underlined the down-beats.

Oh, you can search far and wide,
You can drink all of NationStates dry,
But for good, strong drink you’ll clench your teeth,
But for good, strong drink you’ll clench your teeth,
The very best is in Wintreath,
The very best is in Wintreath.
So warm up with some whiskey or mead,
Or grab a chilly Winter Hammer,
But the place to see Wintermoot and me…
Is in the Frostbite Tavern!

Bumpin' this up to the top.

Go go team *redacted* ! Beat that sorry excuse of a *redacted* !

19 hours left, and it's currently tied. We need at least one more vote!

Looks like Elbbsas is the winner by one vote!

Congrats, @Elbbsas ! (I voted for you. ) You won 20 Tokens!

Yay! Thanks everyone. I will use these tickets responsibly, for they bestow great power and we all know what comes with great power.
