Oh, I want to be vastly outnumbered
With more foes than I can count
So many opponents give me quite a thrill
A wider selection of people to kill
Oh, I want to be vastly outnumbered
Just send them three at a time
For I’ve only got fourty to go
And the bridge* is mine!

To “Take Me Out To The Ball Game”
Backstory: Pennsic IX Woods Battle, standing in the resurrection point looking at the massive Eastern Army waiting just outside for the slaughter to begin. Duke Laurelin Darksbane, Knight, Laurel, Pelican, Founding Baron Cleftlands and all-around Player Character, looked at the pitiful few MidRealmers left, sighed, and said “Oh, how I love to be vastly outnumbered” slammed down his visor and led a Forlorn Hope into a wall of swords. I wrote the song on the spot. (Well, as soon as I could breath again.)
