A Shillelagh is not a mere stick... First the "heavy" end often had been hollowed first, then filled with molten lead, giving some extra weight. Also added some ferrules, to make it more durable. These modifications made it a similarly effective bludgeouning weapon, as a warhammer entirely made of iron... In capable hands, of course.
This story caught my attention immediately and refused to let go until the end. No small part of that is due to the narrator's voice. The man has some skills for sure!!!! I ignored everything else and couldn't do anything other than listen. Whoever wrote this story knows their stuff. More from this author please. It doesn't have to be this storyline, although I absolutely wouldn't object. I'm more than happy with more of their very obvious creative genius, wherever that takes them. Have an awesome day everyone 👍
OH MY GOD! That ending had me laughing my ass off! His favorite stick? Damned Irish and their freaking shillelagh! And when the queen surrendered, all he wanted was a damned bath! And now the low caste janitor hen who treated the captive human with civility is the new queen. This story was absolutely hilarious, but, also somehow fitting. The arrogant battle fleet that assaulted pleasure cruisers for sport is now under the command of a human and an avian who did not see any glory in pursuing pleasure craft. It's getting hard to keep up with the different story lines that are popping up on Starbound, but this one deserves some sort of sequel just so we can find out what kind of changes the janitor makes.👍👍👍👍
They got lucky, he could have wanted a set of bagpipes... Their "POOR EARS!" ps. I know the bagpipes are Scottish and the guy in the video is Irish, but the Irish have a similar instrument called the Uilleann pipes, unfortunately they are quieter than bagpipes and it is the Scottish bagpipes that were once considered a weapon of war.
@@jackn2236 Yep. There were a few armies that deserted their posts the first time they heard that noise. I personally LOVE the pipes. But consider what it must have been like to be sitting in a valley waiting for battle. The opposing army hasn't arrived yet. You hear this godawful noise approaching from behind a hill. Drums pounding, pipes skirling. To the superstitious soldiers it would sound like the demons of hell had been unleashed.
@@michaellinnet6095 I know, I've listened to someone playing the bagpipes front and center. I know it's not the same, but if you close your eyes and go from no sound to that, it's not hard to imagine. ps. I enjoy the sound of bagpipes.
There’s a certain few kinds of people you should always have respect for. Those who clean your environment, those who prepare your food, and those who handle your finances. Neekay was not treated well aboard the ship. I get the feeling she’ll mutiny at some point. Oh…I spoke too soon there. Hmm. All due to an angry Irishman with a shillelagh.
Though not Irish, I do understand the need for a good shillelagh. Good ole blackthorn, strong, durable, and tough good as a walking stick or for some more non pacifistic conversations.
gotta love class solidarity, this story had me in a chokehold start to finish omg. I also love the idea that Seamus' accent came through even when speaking Otari XD
There's an old joke where i live about two deer and a hunter. A young and an old deer graze and the young one sees a hunter climbing up a raised blind (that's what the dictionary tells me it's called in english). The young one warns the elder about that. Old deer takes a look and says, no worries i know him. Hunter loads his rifle and points it towards them. Young deer is frightened and tells the older. Older deer looks laughs and says no worries. The rifle fires, they heer the whistelling of the bullet going way over their heads. The hunter curses and cycles his rifle and takes another shot. that one impacts way to the side of the two. The next one to the other side, one over them again and another one. The older deer already concentrating on grazing again while the younger starts to laugh. Hahah, now we are safe, the hunter has lost his mind, he's climbed down and picks stuff up from the ground.Tthe older deer suddenly looks up and says "Now it gets dangerous, run, run, run, he's going to throw rocks at us!" Doesn't translate well, but you get the point of it.
Kool Aid girl got more votes, but yes this guy is fun. But my favorite has a "dark" tan, lol. Mama hen likes the story as much as I, she's poultry people too.
I'm supposed to believe some incompetent bird alien who can barely manage inanimate objects is supposed to be some immortal being it's no wonder they lost, competency is more important in space.
Not gonna lie, it's kinda trippy that I watched Eoin Reardon's video on how to make a shillelagh a few weeks ago and now I hear it in an HFY story. Small world ain't it?
It's a shame for they, lost their head A careless man who could wind up dead You wear your sin like it's some kind of prize Too many lies, too many lies
Dang you are close to 100,000 subscribers!!!❤ Do you think that we can get Starbound to 100,000 subscribers by Christmas? New year's for sure!!!❤ Check to see if you are subscribed... ❤❤❤❤❤
Shaemus is either an Irish Viking or just an Irishman with a stick.. both of which are very dangerous 😂😂😂
Just an Irishman with a traditional fighting stick lol
Hahahahah.
Too right!😂😂
He's an Irishman, with just enough Viking blood to have the berserk gene. Either that, or he's just cranky by nature.
@@erikjrn4080 it’s called a Shillelagh.

the yellow blood coated viking grinning was PEAK Ai choice. sold it so hard
🤭 I just found your comment when that image came up
Viking smiling in “Hey Buddy”
That was a great story, and the new voice actor is a great addition. He isn't just a narrator but is a voice actor (big difference)
Human: "When we say that everything is a weapon, we damn well mean it. Now if you will excuse me, I have a battalion to kill with a paper clip."
Nice, however I prefer my tea cup...
Remember : Death by teacup
"If you think I am dangerous with my stick, you should see what the legend John Wick could do with only a pencil." - Seamus, probably.
I really like this new narrator, he's fun.
The depth some of the lines have ; "I said vent the service decks!" Said with more panicked rage than I've ever heard a VA use. Love it.
His voice is amazing. He had some rough first stories that were fairly boring, but the last several stories have been great.
"if i was feeling particularly spicy, watering the plants."
I mean, he could pull a botanist
In the end she said she became queen

Good story. Excellent VA.❤
Very well read.
I absolutely loved this story! Thank you
Human glazing is the best type of alien stories
"Shut up, you moron!"
Seconded. Humility is admirable, but within reason. Ransoming a queen for a bath is ridiculous, and also very rude to the queen.
"And that is how I became queen." 🤣
The story would have been even funnier if Sheamus's name was Colonel Sanders. 🤣
Now this is a tale well told!!!
Though not Irish, I do understand the need for a good shillelagh. Good ole blackthorn, strong, durable, and tough good as a walking stick or for some more non pacifistic conversations.

They learned as many creatures from earth:
Human : Worrying
HUMAN WITH STICK: RUUUN!

I love that he destroyed a battleship just because they failed to offer basic hospitality.
Dude, i need to know where VoiceOgre learned his trade. His emotion in certain lines is phenomenal
Years of honing, my friend. Being taught by a few of the greats didnt hurt ;)
@mevoiceogreartist All things considered, I might want to give voice acting a try.
Another brilliantly told story! Absolutely loved it!
You could offer me a drink in my cell, take a drink first, Ill try it 😂😂😂😂 great way to make frens
Now that was good. The Human was a bloody Irish and his walking stick.
Did you know you sound like William T Riker number 1 from star trek next gen?
I agree with the comments below. VERY WELL READ STORY SIR!!!! The only thing better would be to allow us to choose close captioning?
❤don't usually comment but that story was great
36:35 ...I suspected... But once he said "Shillelagh", that was when I though: "Cue the Dropkick Murphies song, You _KNOW_ the one."
I don't get it
@@EN-mh4ogThere are at least two songs to use: The first one is "Shipping Right down to Boston".
Seriously, Go look it up. It's a fightin' Song.
@@EN-mh4og The songs would be "Cadence to arms" and "Warrior's Code".
Kool Aid girl got more votes, but yes this guy is fun. But my favorite has a "dark" tan, lol.
Mama hen likes the story as much as I, she's poultry people too.
I was gonna say, New Reader? Or Author who decided to read also? Either way nice. Always good to have more than less
He's been the VA in just under a dozen videos now.
It still takes the human touch to make story telling engaging.
ok, criticism time @ 17:41 the AI art of a bird beak is conjoined! Um, no that is impossible cause bones don't bend that much!
I absolutely need a part two.
Good action narrating for a good action story.
honestly, the realization that the human was irish (somehow the name Sheamus didn't give it away) near the end got me laughing
One of the better ones, I think.
😂😂😂 The ending had me rolling.
Excellent, even aliens Lear’s to fear a mad Scotsman 🤣
I'm supposed to believe some incompetent bird alien who can barely manage inanimate objects is supposed to be some immortal being it's no wonder they lost, competency is more important in space.
Must be a DEI hire much like our current society! 😂😂😂
Lol 😅 @@goodcitizen64
Okay, that ending made me laugh. Good story.

Aww, we missed Nike and Seamus' wedding.
It's a shame for they, lost their head
A careless man who could wind up dead
You wear your sin like it's some kind of prize
Too many lies, too many lies
I’m dying😂! He’s Irish!
Good thing the chickens don't have guns of some kind.

So Archer's son made it to space.

@he new Mr Speeker .... i realy liked the background sound .... not to loud

Why does Shaemus look like the voice actor?
My ex would mop the floor 5 times when she was freaking out. Thats why shes my ex
Don't worry shaemus Earths Indian space Navy fleet is coming to rescue you
Lol!
