Shelar's Bardic Reviews

[Shelar]

I have devoted this thread to my bardic reviews, and other bardic performances that may be posted here by myself or others from time to time.

Of course, comments are nice, too.

First will be my second bardic review performance, followed immediately be telling of the story that was my restring quest from Tokugawa. Eventually I'll post my first bardic performance as well.
