An adventurer, perhaps taking a break to relax and sunbathe, accidentally stumbles upon one of nature's oddities: a mud elemental! Unfortunately, it appears that our expert, Professor Placeholder, has misplaced his notes on this peculiar creature. Something about it leeching nutrients from its prey by forcing them to sweat profusely?
In any case, I never settled on a name for this character, but "Cassie" sounds right.
Poor Shadowheart has had some unlucky rolls lately, and her "friends" are none too happy about it. Lae'zel and Karlach give the cleric some endurance training, while the rest of the folks at camp turn a blind eye and pretend not to notice. If she's gonna miss every Guiding Bolt she throws, she may as well work on her... "concentration."
Though I have modified each of them, I do not claim ownership of these minis.

And that's part 4! Risa certainly earns her pay-check, nobody can deny that. With luck, Trixie has also learned a thing or two about the perils of wage theft!
Yup, definitely one of my favorite sets. <3
Part 3! Left unattended and unheard, Risa has no choice but to see the test through. At least she's staying properly hydrated, although it seems that attempted negotiations with the unfeeling prototype are quite for nought. Please note that any violence committed against an automaton of the law will be met with immediate and merciless correction!
I recall updating Risa's model for this set to use u/Lognatz's custom nether regions, and it still holds up so well!
Part 2! Trixie puts her police bot through its paces, much to Risa's dismay.
I loved experimenting with her facial expressions during this project. Really satisfying results!
This was probably my favorite project I submitted to the old sub, except for the steam room set (returning soon!).
Risa volunteers to help with an eclectic goblin's experiment, but it may be more than she signed up for. Too bad the poor girl didn't read the fine print! I think even without the individual blurbs included with each picture, the narrative probably isn't too difficult to follow. :P
Part 2!
Luckily (or perhaps not so luckily), an inquisitor arrives to relieve one party, but not the other. Some "incentive" is administered to ensure young Risa doesn't go and start any rumors that might besmirch this temple's good name!
"I can't tell you how relieved I am that you understand. Of course, I still need to be thorough. Be brave during this next part, little lamb."
This was a HUGE set back when I first worked on it. To think how much easier it would be to make today. ^_^" I was particularly proud of those hanging chains at the time!
Poor Risa is arrested on suspicion of practising witchcraft, something that these two knuckleheads don't realize is legal in this province. It's somewhat difficult to convey emotion through a bucket helmet, but I think I did alright. :) One line I do remember from those first couple of pictures was "QUIET, GIRL! Sorry, too much? I'm sorry, it's my first day."
Finally getting around to fetching my work from the old sub, to be reposted here for posterity! Unfortunately, I don't have access to the flavor texts I wrote, and I can't be bothered to rewrite them, so just use your imagination when it comes to context!
This was the very first set I shared in the old sub. People really liked it at the time, and I think part of it is because this set predates kitbashing, so achieving these poses was... well, I got lucky when fiddling with one of u/AAT75R's custom poses, and Risa ended up fitting snugly right into the mimic's mouth!
Remember pre-kitbashed Risa? Seems like a lifetime ago.
