The Mentor

oh on a cold and rainny day
hunting gnolls but getting nowhere
I met up with the Rogue
she was 60, I was twenty three
So she mentored down to teach me
how pull'm how to fightem
the Griffons overtook us
and we began to flee

She said: 
I've been hunting Sootfoots
I've been hunting giants
I've seen volcanoes blow their stacks
And been caught in blizzard ice
I've seen just how you rush in
without care or thought of others
Listen to the words I speak
I won't stay to say twice

We found a safe location
pulled out wine and bear steaks
built a roaring fire
her eyes glistened in the light
the sky pulled back the clouds
the starts twinkled above us
She Said: If you're gonna survive in Norrath
you gotta learn to solo right

**
You've got to know when to slash'm
Know when to Bash'm
Know when to take a group
Know when to root and run
You never loot that chest
while your getting a royal beat down
there'll be time enough for plat'num
when the battle's done
**

Every scout knows
the secrets of the wild
Every Paladin Lay on Hands
but holds back to continue the fight
Not every wizard's blastin
Not every priest is castin
theres wisdom in the fine mis-steps
not every shadows' caused by light

She downed the last of wine, I gazed into the darkness
Lay down to get some sleep, heavy lids closed my eyes
In the morning hours I woke, our fire reduced to ash
I looked around in disbelieve, that bitch had stole my cash

**
You've got to know when to slash'm
Know when to Bash'm
Know when to take a group
Know when to root and run
You never loot that chest
while your getting a royal beat down
there'll be time enough for plat'num
when the battle's done
