# A Reply from Lathet Said Aeruk to the dwarven bard, I don't think that you work hard. You must raise a hand and slay Work with weapons day by day It's time for you to prove your worth Time for bards to accept the truth Singing, dancing, doing plays, Telling stories, they're not the way. Unlike you, I do not fear To carry weapons 'gainst the Hoarde I'll use dagger, sling and spear My spells back up my sword! Replied she to the reni mage I'm still of use up on the stage For all my actions there's a reason How dare you imply treason? In our ranks, morale is falling More give up all the time I say, enough with stalling It's time to draw the line! Weighed down by mistakes they can't abide Spirits swallowed by the shame, Pushed to the brink, they suicide. They fade, their souls by Void claimed. Every week we see another one The times, they've gotten tough; How can you say it's not enough?
