New Paintings as of April 8th, 2000

Kesrin has a rather wet encounter with a deficient rowboat in the Oasis of Marr. Too bad I did not build it. Kesrin managed to capture the moment as I plummented from the treetops of Kelethin. Badly injured and with two broken legs, I spent quite a while convalescing in that blasted city of trees. Under the influence of some rather bizarre food, I spent the day on top of the Freeport bank in my under-clothes until the guards removed me. I will never trust the food in Freeport again. Kesrin has a very close encounter with the fabled Terrorantula of Southern Ro. Just for scale, look at the dead Sand giant compared to the Terrorantula. Is it not gigantic?
The amazing elven ship that takes ye to Kunark. It is so large, ye have to board a shuttle to get on it. The ship once it spreads its sails. I assume this is how it reaches such phoenominal speeds! The Elven outpost of Firionia Vie. Kesrin and I have our first encounter with the natives of Kunark, the sinister Drachnids. Accomplished rangers and druids, as well as experts in poison. Beware, they appear in groups. A rather curious example of flora (or fauna?) in Kunark, a plant that actually is mobile, and fights for food! Rather harmless, although I have seen gigantic specimans in other locales.
A strange source of light in the City of Mist. A guardian of the City of Mist, there are other of its ilk, and they travel in groups.
