Context behind Nahash's two tales, in case it isn't obvious enough already:
The first story, that of the Maiden, was of an arranged and extremely unhappy, imbalanced marriage. The maiden wished for nothing more than the death of her 'beloved'. Nahash sympathized with her situation, and provided her with a knife and an unlocked door. The rest was the maiden's doing.
In Baudry's case, his wishes for revenge and more wealth were halfhearted, without sufficient fuel for Nahash to craft anything that would truly fulfill the bargain. Furthermore, Nahash believed that such an ending would be dull and uninspired. So instead, she guided him towards the end that would truly satisfy him: A way to escape from the life behind him. He would later fall into her service, due to her long-time influence, and a large number of his descendants (he had a lot of children) still follow her guidance.

Created Uthgoliant, the SilverMoon and The Uthbrood.
My god, you created two giant push-me buttons, one in the shape of Ungoliant and the other in the sky.
True, but Nahash likes to create a little bit chaos and anger. Sometimes to her own detriment, if the payoff is worth it.

I actually really like the idea of Gods taking the creations of others and twisting and warping them into their own versions.
Nahash is more likely to try to tempt a large swathe of them to her banner more than anything like that. She likes to eye basilisks and hydras when Kilgarrah isn't looking.
Ahhh, I see. I suppose I don't mind it as much because Nahash isn't a very major gods, in terms of sheer raw power, but I can see where you're coming from.
Also, I updated the tales again, adding a much longer one.

EH, I"m so disappointed, oh well.
Disappointed in what, if I may ask?
Updated Nahash's tales. I'll add more over time.

All the others are gonna hate us. You realize that, right? Chaos shall be spread across the land!
Most definitely. I can't wait to see Suela.
<Snipped quote by ShyDot>
Naturally. Suela is a fucking queen *flips hair*.
However, their motivations are very different. Nahash seems to like tempting people for entertainment or for the sake of the underdog, or to oppose stagnation. Suela doesn't care. Suela just wants you to be overwhelmed with emotion, because the way she sees it, that's the only time you're truly living your life as it should be lived- to hide emotion is to hide yourself, and suppressing emotion is akin to suicide.
To be honest, it reminded me of one of the (exaggerated) tales I was imagining for Nahash, in which she may or may not have inspired the first murder to introduce a new form of passion to mortals, as part of her own fascination with the baser aspects of the mind. Their interaction should be awfully interesting.
