MapGabbers

The MapGabbers are a guild of traveling bards trapped in The BackHalls whose rank and file are constantly being cycled through as members die off and new members join up.

At some point they were lead by a bard named Tanya. During this time the group became infected with the GlassBreakers curse, which was later cured by the vanaran shaman Thetsu.

The MapGabbers Song

A snippet of their perpetually growing and infinitely long log of their travels can be found below:

In 299 we arrived in a room,

Encounted the Allip and thought we were doomed.

But he ate up some Orcs that were served on the side

And gave us the chance to go run and go hide.

In 322 we fought demons from hell

Abyssal dark shadows with secrets to tell

They taught us the halls are not all in plain view

And how to find secret rooms, just what to do.

In 342 we fought orcs once again

They told us the secrets of staying in Ten.

With the knowledge in tow we were ready to go

Then one chamber later you folks said Hello.

With our minds now afire we fled through the halls

And discovered a man who was trapped in the walls.

Kept running and running to Room 406

When the Allip appeared with his devious tricks

So we split up the group, 10 stayed there, 2 went back

And the Allip passed us up to go find a snack.

And speaking of Snacks, we were feeling hungry

When we stumbled upon room Four Hundred and Twenty.

We bought up a map and we met the Ape-Man

Who cured Tanya in trade for a pot and a pan.

But he skipped the part where we could get cursed again.

And if we find him in these halls we’ll hold him hostage until he cures every single one of us because as far as we can tell this is going to be the only way we get everyone cured, it involves a quite intricate plan involving seizing up two adjacent chambers and

…..sorry moving on.

Four-Seventy-Nine was the room where we’ll tell

We fought off 6 wolfmen and every one fell.

Four Nintety was tricky, the floor disappeared

And we climbed on a rope to make it over here.

Then encounterd the Crab Man who came from below

the Floor that was missing, I guess was his home?

He chased us until we met friends like the dwarves

Who held off the beasty with powerful doors.

Then they said, and I quote “Please shut up or we’ll blast you”

“And give us your money and we’ll let you pass through”

So we gave em our coin and went 431

Where we settled and blathered and planned till we’d done.

Now we have our group leader, our group name, and more

And we’re ready to fight with our curse of eyesore
