The He'esa are inter-planar servitors of the Goddess of the Pale Bone with the ability to assume the forms of their murdered victims. When killed they dissolve into disgusting pools of slime.The Drunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292082916107221498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-74817904792939688162011-03-27T15:54:39.457-04:002011-03-27T15:54:39.457-04:00Heh.

In simplied form (and this is probably more information than you wanted), the inspiration went like this: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sluagh" rel="nofollow">sluagh</a> + Hadrian's Hall, by way of the Insects from Shaggai, Morrison's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheeda" rel="nofollow">Sheeda</a>, and the Slaad. Then all of that was done, I figured the wall needed to be suitably large. At that point I thought, "hey, this is a bit like ASoIF!" ;)Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302487761596456689.post-49404235351339727402011-03-27T14:14:48.027-04:002011-03-27T14:14:48.027-04:00Awesome Trey.
