Bard's Tale Online The Bard's Tale III: The Thief of Fate http://www.bardstaleonline.com/ Quick Bard Songs Reference -=[oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo]=- The Bard has eight songs to sing. He or she starts the journey knowing six, and must find the other two. Since Bards can't make music without an instrument, and since whistling doesn't count, make sure they don't drop or trade away their livelihood. There are two categories of songs: those played during exploration and those played during combat. Songs played during exploration are long-playing while those played during combat last only one round. Only one song can play at a time. If you're playing an exploration song, but suddenly need to play a battle tune, the exploration tune will stop playing for the duration of the battle, and start once battle is over. On the other hand, if you're playing an exploration song and start another one, the first song will end and the second will start. A Bard can play as many tunes as he has experience levels before his throat dries and fingers stiffen. For instance, if your Bard has five experience levels, he can play up to five tunes. To rejuvenate your Bard, give him or her a drink, be it water from a wineskin or ale from a tankard. Never forget, "When the going gets tough, the Bard goes drinking..."
