Tanis: You saved me. I owe you my life.
Raistlin: No thanks. I've seen it and I'm not very impressed.

Cover art for the D&D Fanmade manual “Autumn Twilight” by the “Dragonlance Nexus”: a conversion from AD&D to D&D 5th edition of the original game module. Coming soon on DMGuild. This painting was commissioned by the Dragonlance Nexus: a fanart about the very beginning of Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman: Tanis Helf-Elven, Tasslehoff Burrfoot, and Flint are about to return to the Inn of the Last Home in Solace.Of course, the rock under the tree on the right, near Flint, is “that” rock. Fans will know.
Work in progress and more information on my website: https://greenedera.com/portfolio/solace-dragonlance-nexus/

“Where’s the kender?” Flint grumbled as they plunged through the forest.
“Tas is meeting us at the lake,” Tanis replied.
“Lake?” Flint’s eyes grew wide in alarm. “What lake?”
“There’s only one lake around here, Flint” Tanis said, trying hard not to smile at Sturm. “Come on. We’d better keep going. His elvensight showed him the broad red outline of Caramon and the slighter red shape of his brother disappearing into the thick woods ahead.
“I thought we were just going lie low in the woods for a while.” Flint shoved his way past Sturm to complain to Tanis.
“We’re going by boat.” Tanis moved forward.
“Nope!” Flint growled. “I’m not getting in any boat!”
“That accident happened ten years ago!” Tanis said, exasperated. “Look, i’ll make Caramon sit still.”
“Absolutely not,” the dwarf said flatly. “No boats. I took a vow.”
–Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman, Dragons of Autumn Twilight
This is such a good bit of writing. We get several pages of hinting that Flint really doesn’t like boats, and then this – nothing specific, just that one time Caramon upset a boat one time and Flint hasn’t gone near one since. Most writers i read today would give the details of what exactly happened, if not go into a full-on flashback, but this book just hints at it. Even if my memory’s right and a later book shows the scene, this is how you want to introduce something like that. It shows their long-standing camaraderie so well.

Started playing with a digital sketch of Tanis Half-Elven from the Dragonlance novels.
Not sure what I'm doing with this yet. maybe a more refined digital piece, maybe a marker drawing...

Tanis: I told you just to pack the essentials!
Tasslehoff: That's what I'm doing!
Tanis: Is that a boa?
Tasslehoff: Tanis, if you're taking me somewhere I don't need a boa, then I don't want to go

Tanis was fumbling for his dropped bow when he noticed Raistlin sitting up. “Take cover!” Tanis warned, and Caramon started to reach for his brother, but the mage, scowling at both of them, slipped his hand into a pouch on his belt. His delicate fingers drew out a handful of something as an arrow struck the seat next to him. Raistlin did not react. Tanis started to pull the mage down, then realized he was lost in the concentration necessary to a magic-user casting a spell. Disturbing him now might have drastic consequences, causing the mage to forget the spell or worse – to miscast the spell.
Tanis gritted his teeth and watched.
–Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman, Dragons Of Autumn Twilight
I love that hyperfocus is an actual thing all mages have in this world – and that it’s made very clear that you Should Not disturb someone who’s hyperfocusing.
