So we're living it large in a shady tavern

up comes a man with a mission for the grabbin'

we don't get his name or listen to his chattin'

all we need is the map that he draws on the napkin

takes us to a cave hidden under a cabin

set the marching order, light up the lantern

five rounds later and the whole lair is ashen

'cos when we roll, we don't arrive - we happen

[jennisangels]

So better watch out when we're rollin', rollin'

Looking for an amulet that has been stolen

Got all our gear in our bag of holdin'

Gonna kill a dragon whose colour is golden

Taking on a dragon ain't nothing to me

Cos our party is the deadliest you'll ever see

Make sure it's distracted by some wizardry

Then gonna backstab it just for the XP

[jennisangels]

Everybody loves you when you're rollin', rollin'

The DungeonMaster is in control and

Gonna attack you with the kobolds and trolls and

Can't touch them with a 10' pole and

Now we're in your neighbourhood disarming your traps

Creepin' through your window for a sneak attack

Our wizard gonna zap you just after his nap

And the cleric just gave me 6 hit points back

Now, I've taken a "Persuader" (hammer) to my dice a few times, chucked them out the door a couple of times and even threatened to stick them in a tight space with an M80...but I ain't never, and I mean NEVER pulled a gun on 'em.
