<span class="mu-s">Oh? You think you can match my rhymes?
I've heard those words a hundred times.
A thousand fools who thought they'd cross;
their verse was weak and frail and dross!
No man has seen the other shore.
Yes - wyf or weir, their lines did bore!
<span class="mu-b">This game is such a waste of time.
What right have you to judge my rhyme?
A beastly man so old and crass
can he appreciate the arts?
I doubt it! So just let us pass
With all our horses, men, and carts.</span>
Now that's a cheat, I say, I say!
Where are those carts now, I wonder?
And of horses, I hear them not;
instead I hear two mules that bray!
Such a lie the truth shall sunder
as, in deceit's web, you are caught
<span class="mu-b">If I'm a cheat, then you're a fraud
who claims a bridge that is not his!
Perhaps you truly are a troll
Or I'm a fool to take this toll.
To ban creative liberties
is audacious! I must <span class="mu-i">applaud</span>.</span>
Ha!
I see your verse has become
as weak as all the rest.
Now if you wish your outcome
upon this little test
to be the crossing of my
bridge to the other shore
then your verse now must needs FLY
and never be a bore.
<span class="mu-g">You think that I'm the bore?
Well your verse makes me snore.
I think it needs some more
flare, pizazz, and rancor.
I guess I'll do the chore
and show your rhymes the door
so they won't see the gore
that I get on the floor
when my verse goes to war
against your lyric store.
Those rhymes are so piss-poor
that they could knock a door
with charcoal and sulphur.
And I would say the roar
when they blow the back door
of Caer Montefiore
would please the ear far more
than the lyrics that pour
out from your vocal chords!</span>
Madame I must say
that you've won the day.
Though you told it true,
my judgment is crass.
I still say to you:
"Your party may pass!"</span>
So does the battle of lyrics ends. Valley Carver allows you to pass without further incident, letting you and your men get on your way. Two days further and you reach Liliendorf without any additional incidents. Which of the four gates do you enter by?
>The Winegate. The gate closest to your estate, it got that name from the reddish-purple facade over the gate, made from wine-soaked barrel wood.
>The Cattlegate. The largest gate to the village, which stays open except for sieges. Cattle come through this gate to be processed by the butchers.
>The Musegate. A gate whose gatehouse has become something of a resting spot for traveling muses and artists, due to its scenic view of Lake Lilien.
>The Honeygate. A gate that can just barely see the hive that got glen excited, peaking over the horizon.
