The Procurer of Tales (redux)

[Steve]

"A ha!," exclaims Artim, in response. He prepares himself in that moment, to add to the organic tale being crafted on the spot.

"Our choice in the matter of direction, needs not so much attention, if you put fate in the toss, a coin landed on side not lost. The west is the sea, where even Baldur became lost evidently, and the east has dark mountains, we should definitely discount them. The north has become wild, though the air now becomes mild, and south still remains keen thus...I have heard of a place called Greenest? I have never been there, a mystery to share, with a companion such as you, shall we humbly begin on foot, me and you? Let me see, what can to call this adventure, what shall it be? Perhaps we call it The Tale, of the Mystery on the Uldoon Trail...."

"Greenest, you say?" Chord places his chin between thumb and forefinger in thought for a short moment, then he smiles broadly and snaps his fingers before continuing. "I do know it, and I know the way!" Chord takes a sip of ale before proceeding, but then tells the directions as if telling a story.

"The road south from Baldur's Gate
goes on for many miles
past Reader's and books they rate
far more than many gold piles.

And Beregost may seem far
for far it truly is
yet what will fill a memoir
but travels such as this?

So past Amn's Protectorate
and south and east we go
following the road to Greenest
what we'll find there soon to know!"

Chord takes a large swig of ale before posing a questioning look to Artim. "And just what is it you wish or expect to find in yon town of Greenest, good ser? For as I recall it'd be just a sleepy small towns with no more adventure than what we find at bottom a beer." He accentuates this point by finishing off his beverage in a final large swig, before looking back to Artim for a response.

"And then! You have bested me this day, with a full song of lyric and music. So I congratulate you, and offer, that I shall provide the coin to support our Tale of Trails...for, I tell you, though Greenest is a town far off, it is the road to it, this Uldoon Trail, that I seek to know it. It may be simply the sound of it...Uldoon...or it may be, that it is said to parallel the Coast Way, and, if the Coast Way offers one thing, shall it be that the Uldoon offers another? Yet, they treat the traveler to arrive at the same destination."

Artim makes a motion to finish his libation, with a final grand drink.

"I cannot say what adventure will be found in Greenest, but once there, perhaps, we will find the end of our Tale! And I am quite curious to know that ending...and all that transpires from here, to there!"
