The DM: Roll for attack. (NAT20) Roll for critical confirm. (NAT20) You scoff in the face of limitations and the lack of foot pedals as you deliver a flurry of blows so violent and yet so rhythmic to the dragon. The dragon initially scoffs at the perceived lack of damage to its scales before hearing a distinct shrill static-like noise in its ears and blowing up into chunks of meat that oddly resemble a bard's hurried scrawl of a quarter note. When you return to your hometown, you find that tales of your recent conquest have encouraged the development of an exchange program between the monastery and the CarnieG musical academy. Bards flock to strengthen their feeble bodies in the monastery, and the monks aspire to temper rhythm and reason into their ruthlessness. The local guardsman comprised of barbarians have expressed interest in joining this cross-cultural exchange, explaining that this would benefit their berserkers combatants by providing them a non-destructive outlet of entertainment. The local tavern owner feverishly seconds their request.
