*howling like a great wind through a canyon, it engulfs your mind, drowns your senses. Above the howl rises a screech, gleeful and maniacal. It is the way and the truth. Absolute.*
The Emperor: Leave - them - alone.
*the screech quiets, the howl fades. Your mind is hollow, save for one lone voice.*
The Emperor: Bane's Chosen has fallen - his Netherstone is yours. You have done well.
Xa'rok: I heard the Absolute scream.
The Emperor: You heard the Elder Brain. It's regaining its autonomy. It cries not from pain, but exaltation. We must stop it, before it breaks free.
The Emperor: One Netherstone remains - Orin's. We must find her and take it from her. After that, we take control of the Brain. You should start wondering what you will do then.
Xa'rok: I'll decide once we get there.
The Emperor: ...sometimes, you surprise me with your wisdom.
#this scene is so fun#rip disabling subs to maximize ps5 screen real estate so none of the text is in these gifs#the emperor bg3#bg3#githyanki tav#my tavs#tav: xa'rok#my gifs#look at my guy (gn)#!!!#in order to get this btw you need to take out gortash before orin#then the brain starts acting up and Emp tells it to fuck off. very fun for me personally#technically xa'rok's first answer was 'I'll put an end to it' but I waffled on the 'I'll figure it out' choice and I like that response mor#also rare not carrying the sword of screams moment for xa'rok#but ever since I realized the guardian's sword has the same model as the shortsword of first blood I've put that blade in rotation#for xa'rok to carry#fun (awful) to think about if the guardian's blade also IS the shortsword of first blood#whose description states: 'a golden blade - exquisitely made and astonishingly sharp'#and that deals more damage to enemies who haven't been injured yet#so if you're stabbing the guardian with it.... ough#xa'rok has since ditched the circlet of psionic revenge for balduran's helm for that sweet hp bonus + narrative irony#but I do miss the circlet and it looks good on them#also annoyed what tumblr and the gif program did to the coloring because in the actual video#xa'rok is bathed in colored light from the stained glass windows and looks so so cool
