It's a shame that when channeling Pepty Pinking, androgyne gnome, level 1 Bard, I can't acquire more of his/her natural grace, cadence, and dulcet voice, and yet am stuck with his/her fairly unimpressive intelligence modifier and, hence, extremely poor versifying. Take for example this Rat Battle Chant (Bard Song of Inspire Courage, +1 to Attack Bonus, +2 to Damage Rolls).
Pepty's chant seems to be attempting to inspire a hunger for rat meat, therefore, filling the dungeon-adventurer party (Talken Tume, Level 1 dwarf cleric; Schwintia, level 1 elf barbarian; Maurice, level 1 elf wizard; Frado, level 1 human fighter; and Shocky the Shock Lizard, 'nuff said) with the nerve to skewer the dire rats they're currently battling with their various piercing-damage weapons. I mean "rat-attouie." Maybe there are no multiplex theaters in the Forgotten Realms, but references to middling post-golden age Disney films are kind of pathetic and sad.
Maybe Pepty's not on it's game today . . . . we'll see about next time. Pepty, as a bard, can only sing the Inspire Courage song once a day, and so is currently humming and scatting away until the time comes to chant some more relevant rhymes. Will this day ever end? (That last 42 second battle, comprising 7 combat rounds, went on for like four hours in the Remembered Realms of the Character Players!)

That's not a dire marmot. That's Buizile (pronounced boyz-EL, according to Finnegan), a water-type Pokemon. Buizile evolves into Flotzele, also a water-type Pokemon.
