#actually wanna do this run loool like an au if shri’iia is a bit more smarter

[swordmaid]

thinking about an alternate route for shri’iia where she does not break her oath (which doesn’t happen to her because breaking her oath is a canon event for her no matter which way she goes about it but I digress) and she’s still sworn to lolth from the start to the end, and she’s still an oath of the crown paladin following lolth-sworn ideals I think her events would go:

- either not do anything about the goblin/tiefling conflict or side with the goblins then betray them in the fight bc her main priority is killing Minthara who is a traitor of lolth

- when she gets to moonrise, she’ll only agreed to the temporary alliance with the harpers bc the absolute is filled with drow traitors and her oath compels her to punish them

- in the end I think she’ll cooperate with the emperor to take control of the brain then betray him and control the brain for lolth. everyone who was enslaved by the absolute will now be sacrificed to the spider queen and if she’s still romancing astarion here (which I’m now thinking is unlikely because there’s a high chance she would’ve killed him at the start bc he’s a surface elf ) he’ll be sacrificed to lolth too. or maybe she saves him specifically in the end so she can sacrifice him bc one of lolth’s fave sacrifices are surface elves hmmm

it’s basically going to be a much chaotic run, and I don’t think she’ll form any genuine bond with the other companions because serving lolth and her oath is in her mind first and foremost and she’s probably faking her way throughout the whole journey so she can betray them later. like it’s basically shri’iia if she has a wisdom and int points that are more than 8 and she can keep up her lie longer lmfao
