for Lore

In mythic lore, ok
advanced D&D, if
you catch a nymph naked
in the wilderness you either
go blind or die.
I forget. Probably
works out of the wilderness,
too. Apt either way, somehow.

So nymphs w
ere in a sens
(innoc
ence?) sort of a lesser
-r
egarded full-body medusa 
so to sp
eak. Or look. Watch it, 
at any rat
e. It's a defensiv
w
eapon, offensive to prudes 
in th
e nymph case, to nobody 
but a statu
e in Medusa's eyes 
b
eheld. But the one gets you 
hard in a b
etter way (depending), 

whil
e you may die, or never se
such sights again, at l
east 

you can roll on okay if 
you liv
ed. And 

You shall hav
e lived! All shall 
know that, though they may 
put your blindness down to 
a more (self) abusive and 
insulting cause!

You'll hav
e a knockout tal
to t
ell to the police sketch 
artist. Who b
etter take care
not to nail th
e resemblance

a littl
too well
