Beholder Baseball
If your day needs excitement
and you think boardgames are lame
roller coasters not yet invented
fencing and jousting strike you as tame
then let me suggest an enticement
a game with stakes worse than death
sometimes players are frozen in stone
and never again draw a breath
The game is Beholder Baseball
you just need a beholder or six
than you divide your party in teams
and arm all with wooden sticks

You then run and chase the beholder
assuming you don’t get frozen in place
then you drive it towards the goal line
by swinging your bat at it’s face
It’s best if you a dozen healing potions
and maybe a cleric or two
because the beholders who like playing baseball
it turns out are exceptionally few
The game is Beholder Baseball
you just need a beholder or six
than you divide your party in teams
and arm all with wooden sticks
The period ends in twenty minutes
there’s a second half if you want more
the game ends when one team leads by two
if there’s anyone alive to keep score
No one knows who invented it
it wasn’t Beholders for sure
I learned of it from an ogre named Phil
and I dated a succubus who said that he learned it from her
The game is Beholder Baseball
you just need a beholder or six
than you divide your party in teams
and arm all with wooden sticks
