Path

I followed Nevyn around for about 10 hours the other day and *think* I've finally got him figured out. I don't know where he starts from, but I first found him in Half-Elf Camp, so I'll start there. He starts performing around 7-9 PM, and performs until 3-4 AM, he then sleeps until 10am and the moves on. He usually sings four songs at each stop sometimes it is only three though.

His path is Half-Elf Camp (Shanty), Loth-Llorien (Inn), Midgaard (The Grunting Boar), Dwarvenhold (Inn), Skor'lanis (Trading Post), Thistlerock (Inn), Hovelton (The Green Dragon), Mithas (Inn), Seaside (Inn), Aarakocran City (Worm Vender), Og (Rusty Nail), then back to Half-Elf Camp. Occasionally he'll get a bit off track and stop at random places to 'practice'.

Songs

He sings eight songs, always in the same order. They are:

1. 'I'm a Viking'

'Oh I come from Scandanavia with my helm upon my head',
'And I won't be going home again 'till all of you are dead!'
'I'm a Viking! For that's the thing to be!',
'There's no greater joy than fighting for a berserker like me!'
'Oh we had a raid the other night when everything was still',
'We waited until moonrise and came shrieking down the hill!',
'The blood was pouring down the streets the women ran and screamed',
'It was better fun than anyone could possibly have dreamed!'
'I'm a Viking! For that's the thing to be!',
'There's no greater joy than fighting for a berserker like me!'
'The loot we loaded on the ships was too great to be told',
'The slaves we towed behind on rafts for ballast we had gold!',
'We took home herds of cows and pigs we took home chests of jewels',
'Why should we work when we can loot from futile puny fools?'
'I'm a Viking! For that's the thing to be!',
'There's no greater joy than fighting for a berserker like me!'
'Oh we're hairy-chested fighters and we have no time for games',
'What we don't take back home with us we leave behind in flames',
'And if you see a Viking ship there's nothing you can do',
'Just kiss your wife and cross yourself and bid the world adieu!'
'I'm a Viking! For that's the thing to be!',
'There's no greater joy than fighting for a berserker like me!'

1. 'Scarborough Fair'
2. 'Let's go Pike a Knight'
3. 'Fly Dragon Fly'
4. 'The Lament of Baron Marel'
5. 'A Grazing Mace'
6. 'The Sleeping Scotsman.'

'A Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair',
'And one could tell by how he walked he'd drunk more than his share',
'He stumbled on until he could no longer keep his feet',
'Then staggered off into the grass to sleep beside the street'
'A pair of young and lovely girls just happened to come by',
'And one said to the other with a twinkle in her eye:',
''You see yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built..',
'I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt?''
'A ring-di-diddle-e-di do a-ring-di-diddle-i-day',
'I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt?''
'They crept upon the sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be',
'And lifted up his kilt above the waist so they could see..',
'And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt',
'T'was nothing but what God has graced him with upon his birth!'
'A ring-di-diddle-e-di do a-ring-di-diddle-i-day',
'T'was nothing but what God has graced him with upon his birth!'
'They marveled for a moment then one said: 'We'd best be gone.',
'But let's leave a present for our friend before we move along!'',
'So as a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow',
'Around the Bonnie Star the Scottish kilt did lift and show!'
'A ring-di-diddle-e-di do a-ring-di-diddle-i-day',
'Around the Bonnie Star the Scottish kilt did lift and show!'
'The Scotsman woke to Nature's Call and stumbled towards a tree',
'Behind the bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees!',
'Then in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes:',
''I ken na' whaur y'been m'lad but I see y'won First Prize!''
'A ring-di-diddle-e-di do a-ring-di-diddle-i-day',
''I ken na' whaur y'been m'lad but I see y'won First Prize!''

Note: He also sings 'A Song of the Realm' which was written at Madman's request by Cordir.
