Deep in the Grimmwald, the trees have ears... and the Wald is listening. 🌲🌙

I’ve finally started breaking down the full Grimmwald: Forest of Witches suite into individual tracks for your campaign prep. We’re starting at the threshold: The Wald.

This is for the DMs whose players just took a "shortcut" through the cursed woods. It’s for the writers staring at a blank page trying to find the sound of a forest that hasn't seen the sun in a century.

📜 Atmosphere: Cold mist, snapping twigs, and the feeling of being tracked.

⚔️ Utility: Travel music, stealth encounters, or gothic horror worldbuilding.

[Listen to The Wald on YouTube here]

barrowdark

so in our D&D campaign there's an NPC bard named Toblerone (yes, like the chocolate) who's been traveling with the party. last session, our friend Merry almost died. like, actually almost died. magical disease from an otyugh bite, failed cure, slipping into a coma, the whole thing.

a necromancer NPC, this 20-something emo kid the party had befriended earlier, offered to walk to the threshold between life and death and try to pull her back. the party carried Merry out of the infirmary at night, drew a salt circle by a pond in the moonlight, and the priest of Ares prayed, and the witch of Hecate prayed, and a bard sang a song of protection, and the necromancer reached across the veil and grabbed her.

his eyes started bleeding. the witch collapsed. Merry opened her eyes and saw stars.

anyway. Toblerone the bard was not at the ritual. he was at the tavern. but afterward, the party came back and told him the story over drinks, each person giving their own version, and he started writing.

this is the song he wrote. i made it real.

the line "one foot in the river, one foot on the ledge" is how the necromancer described what he did. "draw a ring in the salt and swear the dark won't be fed" is what the witch told Toblerone about the circle. the bridge where it goes quiet and lists "a priest knelt down / a witch knelt too" — that's exactly what happened. four people praying in the dark for their friend.

she's still sick, by the way. the necromancer pulled her back from the edge but didn't cure the disease. the dice haven't decided yet.

song: "Merry at the Water's Edge" written by: Toblerone of Quagmire (in-world NPC bard)

campaign: Barrowdark (Shadowdark RPG) style: medieval tavern ballad, because that's what a bard in a fantasy inn would actually play

Empty Pockets, Full Moon

Street Rat’s Serenade” has arrived—my debut album as Tycho Arkwright. This track’s a melancholic lute melody born from restless nights on Neverwinter’s moonlit streets. Empty pockets, full moon, and a flicker of hope—it’s what kept me going as a street urchin in the City of Skilled Hands. Poured my soul into this one, and it’s out now on YouTube. Perfect for late-night vibes, quiet tavern scenes, or wandering under starlit skies in your next D&D session. What tales would you spin to this tune?
