Nellie grins at Eli's retort, even as she nods in thanks to Khorvalis. As the guards approach, she lowers her hammer and puts her surcoat back on. Hearing the guardsman, she replies, "My name is Nellie Duncan. I was restoring some family ruins to the North of here before the war with the Gavin....

Seeing the greeting they're about to get, Nellie grimaces. "Ahh, if everyone could please stop moving forward? We wouldn't want to appear too aggressive..." She pauses the advance of the party, and then lays her hammer down by her feet. Then she takes her surcoat off, buttons it up, and th...

"I can't be certain that's what they were, but that's my best educated guess," she replies absently to Morgause's question. "And yes, if you decide to use the scroll to go back to Brennondale, you'll most likely encounter them again." Nellie grins, jogging up to Gondowan to retri...

Nellie gasps and shudders as she makes it to the other side, eyes a bit wild looking. "No, not dark magic. Those were probably Baku that were driven mad by their eons captivity in the spaces between. As for not making dumb decisions... just try to watch out for each other." She goes about ...

Before making her own step through, Nellie raises an eye at the out-of-breath traveler. "The scary portal is just unstable transport. I'm not sure who all your missing friends are, but a lot of the Red Wind and Order of the Sun groups have volunteered to help me out with monster destruction and...

OOG: Nellie Duncan

"Most likely?" she replies to Rusty's question. "I'll find out when I head over there too." She seems taken aback by Khorvalis' reaction. "What? He said he wanted to go first. It's not like I pushed him in unwillingly. Do you know how much force is required to move someone i...

Nellie smiles, and puts her hand against Gondowon's armored back. "If it makes you feel better, I'm guessing we'll all be throwing up when we get there." She times her shove so that he's entering the portal the moment the forest scene appears.

"Next?"

"I told you what order I saw them, and they seem to be cycling. If someone with keener eyes notices something else, great. If not, with the instability of the portal I suggest we have people enter one per each cycle on the second safe beat to reach the forest landing all together." Brightl...

After consulting the map and her memories, Nellie huffs. "We definitely don't want the ocean landing. Gateway is no where near an ocean. I don't remember any grass plains either, the place being between mountains and the salt flats. That leaves the forest and the desert landings." Here she...

Nellie looks at Khorvalis. "I said I'd hear out any ideas on making the passage safer. I may be determined to see this through, but I'm not *quite* reckless enough to just run in, or I'd have done it the second it opened." Nellie looks on, fingering a pouch she rarely uses as Khorvalis and...

Nellie frowns heavily as she takes a few more steps back from the generated heat. "Damn... I thought something like this might happen considering we closed the Nexus, but I had really hoped the degradation wouldn't be this far along." She turns to the others. "This portal won't stay o...

Scroll in one hand, stick in the other, Nellie finishes drawing the image of an elven gate into the smoothed-out sand beside the tavern porch. "If someone else could fill the others in...? I don't use magic that often, so I need to concentrate." From memory of years long past, from a time ...

"I... Yes, that's succinct enough, I guess." She replies to the Orc and those around her. "I've got a couple scroll spells written by a trusted Scribner that can get us there and back. The Hall is near the city of Gateway. Though the information I've managed to procure from the Ironfa...

"Yes, the hammer either gave the clan it's name of Stormhammers, or the clan created it to be it's namesake. I'm not quite clear on that matter myself, though chronologically speaking from what I know it was probably the later," Nellie says sheepishly, embarrassed at not definitively knowi...
