Flies around to pester freak and his friend cause he’s so curious about them.

The sky above cracks open as lightning shoots out everywhere. Even more figures seemed to fall from the sky. A crocodile-looking reptile with jet black and red hair, a huge unicorn creature on two legs, a beast with the face of a deer and antlers of a moose.

Three people along with the parade of monsters.....two men and a lady.

They fall to the Earth below, the huge unicorn beast swinging a massive warhammer. The reptile runs faster than the eye could see, generating a wind tunnel. The moose creature letting out an ethereal bugle as the three people were confused.

Well....two were. One of them dressed in a dark robe, stood by, arms folded. Just very bored with everything.

This is a Mari Lywd, a horse skull on a stick that is used in a tradition here in South Wales during Christmas time where a group of men will show up to peoples houses and request entry via song until the householders relent and give them food or drink

Omgs I had an amazing Frostgrave idea!

I kinda want a team based on Santa and Friends, here me out:

I'd probably run Santa as a Summoner so I can have easy access to Summon Demon (and the 10th level version from Forgotten Pacts that lets you get a permanent demon) to be able to have Krampus or Belsnikle and give him Animal Companion (and eventually build into Beastcraft from Beast Pits) to be able to have Reindeer/Mari Lywd/Yule Cat as well as give him the Raise Zombie spell so I can run Hans Trapp.

Then for his Apprentice, either have Frau Perchta or Knecht Ruprecht as the Apprentice and the other as a Soldier of some kind (Monk or Mystic Warrior probably.)

Have the Giant Blood soldiers from Blood Legacy be used to represent a Yule Lad or two.

The Rogues and Thugs then could all be Kobolds and/or Christmas Elves.

Just a cute idea I might work on for next year!

The Mari Lwyd Twitter saga (2020 - part three)

This is part of my efforts to transcribe @seananmcguire's holiday Mari Lwyd Twitter threads. The hashtag for now is #Mari Lwyd Project, the first post is here, the thread's source is here.

(Many thanks to @dor-min on finding and linking this one!)

There are a couple from this year that are short, and even single replies that Seanan likely didn't have time to reply to. So this is their collection! Authors will be linked in their comments as best I can.

CW for food, just in case.

Lorcan Murphy (Twitter): Alas were I only a mutual, Mari Lwyd I'd offer rhymes crucial. We'd barter o'er offering asked unpredictable Afore presenting a demanded varietal victual The dead from the living must bide dividual But this rhyme for the horse is purely volitional.

Seanan: Your rhyming's exquisite, So clean and refined. I'll grant you a visit, To seek cheese with rind, Or cheese that's been softened, Or processed or plain... When Mari Lwyd's summoned, She sings her refrain.

Cheese or beer! Cheese or beer! I know that you have it here!

Lorcan: Alas all my beer has been spilt in a pan And as unlikely it seems, my cheese melted and ran My flour and yeast in the oven to bake So I'm terrible short of scran you can take Bide if you can, I'll no make it a habit and I'll offer a pretzel and Welsh-German rabbit

---

Cassandra Khaw (Carrd / Twitter): A single wedge of manchego I do possess, Not a wedge nor a morsel more than that, If I was someone who had cheese in excess, I'd offer them to you, and have all your desires.

But lo, you bony equine, Such is all I can give: This lonely cheese of mine, I offer in tithe.

Seanan: To give when there's plenty Is glorious kind: But it's kinder by far When you've little but rind.

I am grateful to you, On this shortest of days, For your holiday spirit And generous ways.

The singles!

(I'm posting peoples' handles as I see them, will do my best here. If someone rhymed or made poetry and I couldn't find a 'do not repost' on their profile, I included it.)

John & Bucky: I’m just here to watch A skeletal horse seeking Cheese and wine through rhyme

Stephanie Annand: Alas! For the lack! Of cheese in my home; Will you accept yogurt As onward you roam?

Eleri: I have some ok parm, and a generic swiss A really good chevre would not go amiss This stupid pandemic has cut into my cheese-buying I'm afraid sharing these cheeses, the dead horse would send me flying.

Paige Wolf: Cheese and spiced wine You’ll definitely find; In my kitchen, I’ll fill up your cup!

Come in please, my friend! Time we will spend, In drinking and singing, Bottoms up!

warcabbit: Wassail, wassail? I give you mulled ale and a nice nutty cheese to boot.

It is the season Be kind without reason And generous with gifts and loot.

Stephanie Caitlyn: I do not have cheese, I only have curry, For when I did leave, It was in quite a hurry.

Into the headlights I peer like a deer, But with you I gladly will share my paneer.

Starry_Marie: I know there are many With rhymes that are better But one thing I do have - A large chunk of cheddar

@Chimaera.bsky.social: Oh Mare, at thy feet I lay Some Caveman Blue and olives today. Cambezola roasted with garlic cloves, Squeezed upon fine grilled bread loaves. A bit of Brie to melt your heart, A nutty Parm to fuel your start, Melted Gruyère to dip things in, & Queso fresco (you're looking thin)

Cake and Arsenic: Oh mari lywd, please don't feel down, With your big boney head, in your white cotton shroud, For you'll find that my larder is stocked full of cheese, And you're welcome to come and eat all that you please.

JLH: (not a mutual, but it seems fun and kinda inspired me) Dread equine I hear your call! And in my larder is a prize, A piece of asiago for your skeletal maw Please accept my gift and silence your cries.
