When I set eyes on She Who Is Beauty and Sanity and Seafood Restaurant Greeter sitting on Wyll's Daddy, I knew that I've seen something like before.
In the 90s - or noughts? - I followed an online fantasy comic, with Humans, Drow, Orcs (one half-orc), Halflings, Harpies and (horny) Beholder. Black&white.
The Drow ladies used their males as self-propelled sitting furniture.
I've no idea what the title was ...
Ring a bell among any other OAP member?
Besides inspiring the Orin-on-Ravengard scene, I'd not be surprised if the Speak with Dead line with the corpse of the Drow raider at Waukeen's Rest:
- What was your Profession?
- Male ...
was also inspired by this comic.
Or was Larian congenial? Or are these generic ideas floating around fandom since 1980 or so?
If I've asked about this before - sorry, sclerosis
