Hey hey guys!
You ever succeed on a DC 20 roll with a nat 20 3 times? so that you don't lose your entire sense of self in a river that basically takes your sanity? I did, and made a song based on it.

Lyrics:
Is this what it feels like when birds fly?
I wonder for an eternal moment.
Is this just the final end of my life?
I wonder
I can see the battle far above above me
I can see the water rushing down below
I can hear a voice inside of me
That shakes my very being as it echos
Dive
Blood of the river engulfs me and sings
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
Desire to let go clings tight onto me
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
I can feel the fire deep inside and breathing life into my lungs
I’ll keep reaching out and screaming now is not my time my bell’s not rung
I’ll continue fighting what fate’s writing cause my journey’s still so young
I’ll hold onto the wire though it’s dire my final song has not been sung
I won’t be changed
This will not be my fate
No! I know who I am
This will not be my final stand
Not yet
Up is down a downward spiral
Can’t remember what is vital
Every single finger's numb
Embers dimming one by one
Can I run? Run away before what happened?
If I return to moments before then
What would have happened?
What happened?
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
I can feel the fire deep inside and breathing life into my lungs
I’ll keep reaching out and screaming now is not my time my bell’s not rung
I’ll continue fighting what fate’s writing cause my journey’s still so young
I’ll hold onto the wire though it’s dire my final song has not been sung
I won’t be changed
This will not be my fate
No! I know who I am
This will not be my final stand
Not yet

    Now correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I'm right in my deduction that this hero also appeared in the Elturel song. If so, then you once again show your proficiency at slowly building up the legends of your heros through song like a true bard.

    I like how these songs always tell a story, and the visuals help it along some more. How this is a continuation of a story that started being told when Eltruel had fallen, of the party that tried to avenge it, the desperation of how far over their head they truly are. It's impressive, it's beautiful, I love it.
