Description they are back and for those who do not know.  Gerrard fell from an airship and was rescued by Nell who nursed him back to health.  here she is trying to find a common interest with him by showing him her love of puzzles and thinking toys.  as Gerrard is all beat up he cannot 'escape' from her and is frightened due to the negative stereotypes his people have placed on hers

Given a puzzle, but really trying to figure out what exactly the naga is thinking. I like this scenario.

You glad the avataring and other transformation stuff is dying down thanks to those popular animated shows?

Is obvious that Nell like Gerrard.   Unfortunatelly,the feeling isn´t reciprocal.

Quick question that I cannot believe I didn't think of until now. If Gerrard is so beat up, and is sitting on Nell's tail because he can't get up, how did he get out there in the first place? I can't see him just laying on her back, and I don't know how strong Nell is.

hattonslayden In reply to Luckysweep [2014-06-27 14:14:39 +0000 UTC]

nell is uber strong but she is very gentle so she would carry him in her arms, curl herself underneath him or use a stretcher

dat shading

Shading aside the real great thing about this for me is how friendly Nell's face looks.  I mean sure the shading adds so much more depth but the face of a non human portraying human detectable emotions seems like a very hard thing to do imo. And "by george I think she's got it"! I've always wanted to say that.

hattonslayden In reply to imtherealjenna [2014-06-25 18:32:31 +0000 UTC]

nope she is from my own world and so is not 'evil' by default.  part of the point to this story is regardless of how she looks, she is just a person

and thanks

I never go by the 'typical' alignment in D&D anyway Obviously she isn't evil to take the time to heal him like she did Cool that she is your own creation as well
