    Decided to run into Shame today on my own. Turns out that was a really bad idea, but it was a lot of fun. The bardy bit below is a little long, but I had almost as much fun writing it as I did during the shenanigans that inspired it.

    I call this piece "NOODLE THE HORSE IS AN IDIOT". Enjoy.

    <singing>
    Delving in a dungeon,
    Deep as I can be.
    Killing, maiming, looting
    All the corpses I can see.

    Come around the corner and
    What do I find there?
    About a MILLION freaking elementals,
    And all of them are AIR.

    LIGHTNING BOLT
    POISON
    LIGHTNING BOLT
    POISON
    LIGHTNING BOLT
    LIGHTNING BOLT
    LIGHTNING BOLT
    DEAD

    Now I'm staring at my body.
    This is kind of crappy.
    All my loot just laying there,
    No reason to be happy.

    Healer standing just outside.
    He patches me right up.
    Stupid horse didn't follow
    And now I've got to run.

    Find a bank and reequip.
    I'm going right back in.
    At least I have to get my sword
    And find my tambourine.

    Going to be careful now.
    Don't want to die again.
    I sneak right past the earthies
    And the giant scorpions.

    Down a level, cross the bridge.
    The coast is looking clear.
    I can see my body
    And those things that I hold dear.

    I grab it all and hoof it out
    As fast as I can run.
    Coming back and grabbing it
    Sure was lots of fun.

    OH NO! The bridge is blocked!
    I'll never make it through!
    The million Airs
    Are waiting there.
    In my pants I make a poo.

    LIGHTNING BOLT
    POISON
    LIGHTNING BOLT
    POISON
    LIGHTNING BOLT
    LIGHTNING BOLT
    LIGHTNING BOLT
    DEAD
    AGAIN
    FOR THE LOVE OF ...

    Boo! A ghost!
    But not me!
    It's my horse!

    Noodle, you idiot!
    Why'd you stay in place?
    I was walking everywhere.
    Could have used your faster pace.

    Now we're walking back to Yew
    You'd best be keeping up.
    Turn around go back again
    Since you keep on getting stuck.

    A long walk to the abbey
    And I'm finally me again.
    Now let's see if we can find
    A veterinarian.

    Need a bank to get some cash
    And then we're out the door.
    Heading for the moongate
    And you've disappeared once more.

    You stupid horse! Where did you go?
    I was going to get you help.
    If you got stuck on a bush again,
    I'll rez you to kill you myself.

    The hunt begins!
    Where is the moron hiding?

    <singing stops>

    Wait, no. No. How does he hide? He's a horse! Horses can't hide!
    Seriously, where are you? Damn horse.
    Guess I'm retracing my steps back to the bank.
    Dude, for real. Where. Did. You. Go?
    Discovery! Elation!
    Wait...

    HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET ON THE ROOF?

    [​IMG]

    Oh, that's great! The door is locked. And I'm not a ghost anymore, so you're stuck.

    Forever.

    You know what? It's fine. Stay up there, horse. Haunt that tower forever. Because it's funny. Horse ghost haunting a tower. Hilarious.

    Me? I'm going to the moongate, and then the stables in Skara Brae where I'm going to get a horse that isn't an idiot. You do you. Neighboo or whatever. I'm out. Stupid horse.

    Seriously? I walk past the tower and you're just going to walk right out? I hate you so much, horse.
    It's good to have you back.

    I'm glad we patched him up in the end, I just see this like Shrek and Donkey partnership forming.

Welcime to Project Sanctuary and if ya ever want to be bailed out next time let us know, but that wont make for near a great story.

    This whole series of events was the perfect reminder of exactly how great UO is. I'm honestly a little disappointed Mr Noodle made it down the stairs and out of the tower. How great would it have been for the owner to come home to a horse ghost on his roof and no idea how he got there?

    Damn. That was a very nice and fun report. :D

    If you want to share it with more UOR story hungry players as well, then you could put a copy at the Salty Dog Tavern forum as well (If you haven't done that already that is of course) :) ((Many RPers hangs out writing stories in that forum as well))

    Reworked a couple parts and posted in The Salty Dog. I think it's even better now.

    That was incredible, thank you!

    So who is the lucky owner of the haunted tower?

    That was so funny!

    No idea. Though, it's no longer haunted. Once he realized I fully intended to leave him behind and replace him, the horse came out of the tower. Either that, or I finally lined up just right so that he had a clear path to me. It was probably the first one, though.
