tragic yet funny thing w the alfira stuff first is that I didn’t really get to talk to the companions about the murderous desires so it feels kinda moot. the companions are all like. yeah we know. we know. we all know now

#anyway thinking about how I unintentionally put dirge into lore college bard #a subclass that gets cutting words (my beloved)#and took the spell vicious mockery #truly like. a guy who will be so pointed w insults #words are. so important 2 dirge #the power words have and the cunning behind them #I love. high charisma characters so so much #i can see there being a running joke that they could become a great politician #to wit they reply they were a cult leader so it’s not too far off #thinking about how they are the same and different #there is still the charm but there’s no…need to be dogmatic?#being infallible. being closed off and intolerable #there was no real room for attachments beyond. adoration #and they liked it. craved it. the charisma born out of the desire to be liked and it’s a oroborus #I think for dirge it’s being deprived of the environment that fostered their attitudes + the brain damage #where there is a degree of genuineness between people #that and the memory loss #seeing people more like people and not just in the lens of the cult + the thumb of a violent deity #makes it easier to see people as people #it’s when the regrets of death and the desire to preserve life #I’m just puzzling out how they come to reject the urge #why not go crawling back to the familiar? it’s the one thing that makes sense in their head #so why reject it?#much to think about aaaaaa #oc: dirge
