The Mystic Jewel of Gothar
Cut from stone from a sheer rock face
Is this jewel of the Grimney race
A giant ruby of deepest red
And those that seek it end up dead
It is hidden in an unknown land
Placed there by a magic hand
Beyond the wastelands past the Tower
Is this stone of mystic power
Placed behind a giant fortress wall
Where many wraiths and Dravons rule
So those who seek it have to face
These frightening creatures of the Grimney race
But one more terror blocks the path
And it sits alone in a mud filled bath
It is a huge reclining slug
A hideous slimy carnivorous bug
Dribbling saliva from a blood drenched maw
That drips on down to a blood stained floor
This is Caddarran the Grimblethwart
And a hundred adventurers it has fought
Each one had wished to claim the stone
But without a chance were reduced to bone
Bitten in half crunched to dust
As the beast fulfilled its awful lust
