Perhaps writing something similar to dhjl’s tale of Satyr’s extra turn. This is what I would do, take a favorite character (The Silent One for me) and tell people how he/she became legends. ---

Sorry if it was misconstrued as criticism, but I simply answered Jainus’s question that was all. ---

> [@sarcasmjew](#): > > It’s ok. But I hope you enjoyed writing that. It seems you could do better I’m sorry my effort didn’t please you. I don’t have the time or the inclination to write longer ones. I came back to it because you asked - and all my above were my limericks, which I at least find amusing. Perhaps I won’t bother again. Sadly only @dhjl and I seem to write here. Would be nice to see more. ---

Fire spewing through gaping jaw Light is thrown, yellow and red A roar emits from jagged maw Mighty beast inspires awe Engine of flame and dread Cacophony rings inside your head Another volley shows their flaw Naked fear forgets all law No enemy in range will tread Only fire and ash will spread None left for worms of war to gnaw ---

_I once knew a gnome named Sparkgrinder_ _Who left his Carnex with a minder_ _But she killed him and fled_ _Leaving a trail of bloodshed_ _And it took a whole army to find her_ * * * This week’s Epick Limerick 😄 and you never knew Carnex was female…?
