With a soundtrack of Led Zeppelin epic hard rock "Achilles Last Stand" blaring in our ears, we set out for this interpretive adventure. This Song World turned out to be fun enough to run again for others, so far I ran it twice. First play! Jay's character did a sliding-leap off a cloud and rescued Soren from the crowds in the clouds. Soren turned away some Mummies by pyramids in the sands. Jay's character climbed a stone path up to meet the famous Led Zeppelin hermit with the lantern pointing the way. Meanwhile Soren used Air Walk spell to ascend rapidly the Mighty Arms of Atlas. Together they rang the one bell, following a clue discovered earlier in the session. At last they awakened Albion and finished the session, getting summoned back to the Discoteque through the wormhole of return. 2nd Play: Completely different run-through with Thorfin(Silk) and Byle. Roll20 features used include Handouts, Jukebox, API Scripts, Pro subscription, Shift-Z pop up graphics, Transparency, Marketplace, Font Tool, drawing tool, shapes, Special FX, token actions, Links, chat room, Macro Quick Bar with custom color buttons, more. Screenshot 1 The lyrics said "Oh to ride the win, to tread the air above the din. Oh, to laugh aloud dancing as we fought the crowds" as Soren Air Walked, after getting hit with Otto's Irresistible Dance. Screenshot Play2 Linking to Spotify and YouTube through Roll20 Handouts. Achilles Last Stand by Led Zeppelin LYRICS Screenshot 3 Collaborative ending verse in the chat-room. That rocks! Fun session. One of my favorite songs. Playing a D&D version with "Civilization" 3D-environment map background, brings a new light to some of the epic verses in this song that has no chorus but has 17 layers of guitars. Let's play this one again sometime.

As I turn to you, you smiled at me, "How could we say no? Oh, the fun to have, To live the dreams we always had. Oh, the songs to sing when we at last return again." Slipping off a glancing kiss to those who claim they know Below the streets that steam and hiss: The devil's in his hole! Oh, to sail away to sandy lands and other days. Oh, to touch the dream that hides inside and never seen, yeah. Into the sun, the south, the north, at last the birds have flown. The shackles of commitment fell in pieces on the ground. Oh, to ride the wind: To tread the air above the din! Oh, to laugh aloud dancing as we fought the crowds, yeah. To seek the man whose pointing hand the giant step unfolds with guidance from the curving path that churns UP ^ into stone. If one bell should ring in celebration for a king -- So fast the heart should beat, As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah. Days went by when you and I bathed in eternal summer's glow, as far away and distant, our mutual child did grow. Oh the sweet refrain soothes the soul and calms the pain. Oh Albion remains, sleeping now to rise again. Wandering and wandering... What place to rest the search? The mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the earth! For the mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the earth... From the earth!!! I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way I know the way, know the way, know the way, know the way Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah For the mighty arms of Atlas hold the heavens from the earth!!!
