			Oook says, 'The Clan Song... requested by Cordir.'.<BR>
	<BR>		<BR>
			Oook gets a large decorated bone from a bag made from blood bat hide and untangles the feathers and beads tied to it. It rattles quietly.<BR>
			Oook holds the bone up, closes his eyes, bows his head, and growls some words under his breath.<BR>
			Oook begins a low, murmuring chant, the words too faint for you to understand. As he chants he slowly turns the bone from horizontal to vertical.<BR>
			Oook's chanting grows in strength and beads within the bone start to fall, slowly at first but then quicker, with the sound of falling rain.<BR>
			Oook's free hand drops to the drum - DOOM - and he begins to shake the bone.<BR>
