Thanks, Chris.
It came when I finished GMing the "Echoes of Everwar" series this past weekend.
Almost all of the first 100 games have been for low-tier or mid-tier scenarios. I'm trying to develop my skills GMing parties above 8th level. I'm actively soliciting advice an opinions about effective high-tier GMing.

Okay. The scenario in question was Echoes of Everwar III. I wanted to give it a light-hearted feel, to contrast with Echoes IV later that day.
And one way to do that was to have the gnomes of Whistledown sing a happy litle song when the heroes agree to go see what's been eating villagers at night.
Refrain: (Chords in parentheses)
(C) Welcome to (G) Whistledown (F) Have a drink and (C) sit you down!
You (F) know you're always (C) welcome in our (G7) homes!
(C) Raise a cry (G) throughout the town (F) unhappy strangers (C) can't be found!
It's (F) all the (G7) hospitality of (C) gnomes!
Verse:
We'll (C) feast you well, and (F) that's a fact! "Here, (G) have a priceless (C) artifact!"
We're (C) not exactly (F) sure what it can (G7) do.
And (C) since you'll fight the (F) fiends bizarre "To (G) save my son (C) Aathordigar"
(C) It's the least that (G7) we can do for (C) you.
Welcome to Whistledown, soft as a thistledown!
You know I've got a spare bed in my home!
Raise a cry throughout the town, ...
"I see that weapon in your sheathe" "that doughty bow" "those snarling teeth!"
They all say you're the right folk for a fight!
We beg you, lords! We're on our knees. We ask you all to heed our pleas
To save us from the terrors of the night.
Welcome to Whistledown, happy carefree Whistledown!
"I've got a lovely daughter back at home." (*gasp* "Daddy! Well, that one's kind of cute.")
Raise a cry throughout ...
( a gloomy gnome comes forward, finishing his sour beer.)
I think that if you take this bait, you'll surely share the grisly fate
Of all the gnomes who've perished in the dark.
I'd rather go throw in the towel that watch the monsters disembowel
me. "There goes my arm." I bet that leaves a mark.
(Cm) Welcome to (Gm) Whistledown, (Fm) happy, carefree (Cm) Whistledown.
"The (Fm) sun is setting." (Cm) Time to bar the (G7) doors.
(Cm) We're all glad you've (GM) come around, but (Fm) now it's time we (Cm) went to ground.
If (FM) morning finds you (G) 'live, what's ours is (Cm) yours."

Thanks, Jason.
Hey! Have we gamed together? I lived in Eagan (just off Yankee Doodle) for about 8 years, before I moved back to Iowa.
Unfortunately not, I have been in eagan since early 2000, have been in love with pen and paper gaming, but never really got in to the action until a year or two back with the twin cities pathfinder society. As we are still practically neighbors, I am sure the opportunity to play together will come up again :)
