#WADTDcampaign2

So

I need someone to rant about this to and since the usual people who suffer for my rants will be spoiled because of it, I’ll just rant about it here

for context I’m planning my next dnd campaign, and I want to have Natsolith be included as an NPC because I can. However, you simply cannot have Natsolith without Astarion because there is no way in all of the lower planes in existence will these two be separated for even a second again. So these two annoying little sh*ts (roughly 32 years after the events of Baldur’s Gate 3) after 30 years of being married strike a deal with Nats archfey patron that she’s either getting both of them or none of them at all.

This results in Astarion gaining the ability to inhabit (for simplicity’s sake) Natsoliths body, and to switch between whose mind is in there at will. In these in between stages they’re sort of in this astral limbo and they use whatever time they have to talk to each other to share memories on everything that’s happened so the other can switch into her body and not need to be reminded of everything that’s happened so far.

But as everything goes with these two, even in life or death situations, they find ways to flirt with each other…constantly.

When Astarion is in control he makes sure that her makeup is how she likes it, that her clothes and hair are always perfect, and that her ear piercings are the way she likes them.

Meanwhile Natsolith makes sure to stock herself up with any potions, explosives, poison coated weapons, and plenty of sharp objects just in case. She also buys him this new thing called a gun (the campaign is planned to shift between timelines and dimensions, thus shifting between a whole number of timelines and genres) and makes sure it’s almost always loaded and she’s got plenty of ammo for him.

Because what is love if one is not constantly making sure the other has instruments for murder and the other isn’t making sure they look sexy while murdering hundreds if not thousands?
