Lawful Good
She stood at the head of an army,
surveying the enemy's forces.
She steeled herself, lifted
her drumsticks and led them
with a steady, rousing beat.
Neutral Good
She was a bard.
She could influence kings
or incite riots with a single tune.
Mostly she sang about
treating yourself softly.
Chaotic Good
She wielded humor
like a whip, leaving smiles
like welts on the faces
of those graced with her wit.
Lawful Neutral
She sang until her lungs bled
and still she wheezed out lyrics,
mournful and aching.
But for all the magic in her songs,
she could not bring herself
to raise the dead.
True Neutral
She turned none away,
every traveler received a bed
and a meal and the chance
to listen to her sing. Her words
painted visions of the past
and future.
Chaotic Neutral
She performed for packed stadiums
spreading a sweet addiction
for her voice.Smoke billowed
from her gaping mouth to thunderous applause.
Lawful Evil
In service to her vile king,
she spun glorious tapestries
for the court with her song.
They marveled, unaware
of the artificial loyalty
being spelled upon them.
Neutral Evil
She wanted to compose in peace
and ignored the walking wounded
clawing at her door, crawling over
the decomposing corpses of those
that came before them, begging
to be healed.
Chaotic Evil
She played her pied pipe
in the town square for coppers
and the townsfolk tolerated
her begging with barely concealed
disdain. Until the morning
they awoke and their children
were gone.
