[astralpyre]

i had a vision,,, (blood version under the cut)

[sleepy-bear-tm]

The price of corruption...

[justporo]

Look at this lovely, wonderful commission of my bbygirl Fox I got from @toasty-tealeaf!

They did an absolutely incredible job capturing an average look Fox gives Astarion when he's talking out of his ass.

Thank you so much!! Absolutely check them out if you're looking to commission a lovely person and incredible artist!

Transpaent version below the cut!

Gale run is progressing well! We're now in the Underdark, doing well aside from that bit where I accidentally forgot to switch back to Explorer after doing some multiclassing and getting my ass beat by the bulette and duergar. (I never said I was good at this game...)

Boyfriend acquired!

The Rizzard of Waterdeep strikes. Sorry, those two tiefs.

He misses his Mum 😭

Things I legit didn't realise until this run - Withers makes little comments as he wanders around his temple.

Locked books: no obstacle for a knowledge-hungry wizard!

Convinced Rolan to stay in the Grove by virtue of "ehh, I've heard of Lorroakan and he's a hack."

We recruited Wyll. Astarion is Just Thrilled!! at travelling with a monster hunter!

So if you do that first long rest alone, you don't meet Shadowheart until the Grove! Which can get... contentious if you've already saved Lae'zel...

The Rizzard of Waterdeep strikes again. Yeah thankfully I had Inspiration this time XD;;

Failed the check to notice getting robbed! Thankfully the next thing we did was save Arabella, so Mol was happy to hand stuff back. Mirkon, too, and that tiefling up on the ridge near the bugbear. Aside from those first two, all the tiefs are safe so far.

New experience for this run: freed Sazza. Going to try for that achievement!

"Man, why would the Goddess you pledged your life and loyalty to subject you to pain and punishment for something that objectively isn't your fault? [insight check failed]"

Bite Night Bite Night!

Went worse for Astarion than Gale tbh.

"Does this mean you don't want to cuddle?"

Hehe.

I wonder if Halsin carved this?

Friendly reminder that Gale enjoys writing poetry and so probably knows, yeah.

I love this he looks like a proud dad. "I helped! :D"

Girlfriend discovered!! (Not Gale's. Mine.)

The moment Wyll realises he's doomed, and does it anyway 😭

GET HIS ASS BBYGIRL.

He's so good ;_;

Sweet :)

"I would bite you. (flirting)"

And a bomb, don't forget a bomb :)

Just a badass shot.

Troll <3

Listen I know the IC answer is to have Gale 'well actually' the mirror but I want that book.

Image cap reached, more later!

Service top alpha halsin he’s so chill n relaxed… laid back guy but also bc he’s so confident abt being an alpha… gotta be prepped long n slow for his fat knot but he’s such a sweet cuddly boy abt it, nuzzles and kisses and sniffs all gentle while u take it…

I think omega astarion would b very fussy abt it, insists he can take it just hurry up, alpha halsin just kinda snuggles him into submission hehe

oooofffff you knooow it

Halsin would be like 'u crying from being pent up? yeee just let it all out.' 'oh u wetting urself from how good it feels? that's my jaaaam bbygirl u knooow it.' 'oh u need to run around a bit to get all that energy and jitters out? Yeeee just lemme like... catch u real quick and lay down on u and press u into the ground'

He's been doing it all for SO SO LONG. He's seen it all. Nothing phases him anymore. He's just like 'yeee fuck u go that's so hot'.

and you fucking KNOOOOW Astarion would somehow love and hate it at the same time lol like on the one hand he obviously deserves the attention but on the other hand he has shit to do, you know???

[thekoatemmie]

Finally ended and got the perfect epilogue

Saved all gondians and the ppl from the submarine (I think I spent two days trying all strategies possible)

Killed Sarevok

Playing frostpunk with my boyfriend astarion in the underdark

Gale is alive and a professor

Karlach is alive with wyll in the underdark

Karlach did not use once infernal fury in the whole adventure

I saved the emperor cause this bitch was on my side from day one and did not wanted to orpheus to became a mindflayer and not me or karlach.

Tried to run from ansurn cause I did not want to kill him,but the scene of Blade of Avernus not triggered so I like to believe I knocked him out,since I was with non lethal damage on

(fight was hard af ended with 1hp),this gay bitch was TOUGH.

My tav was an asshole so she killed the investigator cause she did not like that bitch who was doubting her and did not want to fight fucking sarevok,but later she kills him anyway when she tries to be like lol killed your grandaughter then he is like lol time to some asoiaf lore and the fights begin. So I guess is ok

The fight with veconia was hilarious.I was talking to her meanwhile my bf was there shootings arrows and the fight not triggered, later I talked with the ppl and they were like wow can't believe she died and I was haha so funny,who must have done that.

And later I killed all the sharrans anyway,fight hard af on balanced can't imagine on tactician or honor.

Bbygirl shadowheart is with selune and her parents are alive (this bitch killed them then I had to safescum way back cause I forgot to safescum)

Btw I managed to save all the gondians and still have an alliance with gortash lol.It was funny to see karlach in all of her glory with mermaid robe laughing at his death.

I did not managed to save the child from ethel however I killed the hag.

Killed the zentharim (10k gold lets goooo)

GUESS WHO SAVED ALL THE TIEFLINGS??

Killed Raphael (pretty armor lets gooo)

Managed to knock out Minsc (hard af btw,this bitch is SQUICHY,he died all the time) but not Korrila 🥲🥲🥲.

NO ONE RECOGNIZED THAT I DID NOT SELL THE GITHYANK EGG

At first I managed to make Lazel stay on earth (I am a bard I see a skill dialogue I click on it) but when I got the perfect epilogue (Karlach and gale alive and still with astarion) I failed the check so know she is a diplomat.

And more,I safescumed a lot,sometimes I would go back HOURS to make something right like the shadowcurse.(Was already on act 3)

But It's ok cause I based my tav on Frisk from undertale so it's part of the RP.

I named her Furisk as a joke,ans cause you know a skeleton with one hp who Dodges all your attacks,the narrator,you are mute and avoids fights by talking and flirting,the underdark,etc.But later got attached from months playing with her and now she is stuck with this name.Made her a tiefling cause I wanted to emulate the feeling of what Frisk a human felt in a place full of monsters, but I should have made her a drow instead🙃.

Anyway here are the final photos, FURISK I LOVE YOU.

I think I played with her for around 200 hours no joke.

[ryttu3k]

Onwards to Act 2! First, to the northwest for Lae'zel to have a family reunion!

Lookin' sharp.

First, an encounter on the road! Lady Esther manages to piss off Lae'zel...

Then piss off Tae...

Then, well, Tae went "yeah you know what drow and githyanki are quite violent :)" and killed her.

Listen she had it coming.

Some Party Bantz.

Made it to the temple, had a fun Kobold adventure. Only one actually exploded after using a fire spell!

Met the murderkitties. Reloaded to leave them be because wtf they're just chilling I'm not going to fight them.

Met some large friends. Well, not friends. Tae just respectfully nodding, scurrying over to inspect the device, then scuttling back again.

(I goddamn loved her delivery.)

So turns out this result turns into a fight!

I ended up reloading, asked to play instead, and stuffed the entire crate into Tae's pack. Hurried back to the murderkitties room and (tried to) set it free, then, uh, had to haul ass and jump over a gap to get it to stop trying to murderkitty Tae. Look, the poor thing was entirely justified in being Rather Unhappy!

Lae'zel has stuff to say about githyanki reproducing via egg-hatching...

(Shadowheart in the background: *eyes emoji*)

...and of the, uh. Somewhat violent githyanki upbringing.

More importantly: plot.

Brain just going "DON'T DO IT."

Narrow escape. Lots of approvals.

Shadowheart remains spectacularly unsurprised.

After fighting our way out of the dorms (which genuinely made me feel bad, some of them were just kids!) and into the captain's office (felt less bad about that one), a meeting with the Inquisitor and, well...

She scary. (Tae did actually kneel, but I felt the highlighted response in my heart.)

Curiosity won.

Hey this is concerning!!

Anyway I didn't actually take any caps inside the Astral Realm but oh my goodness it was pretty. Anyway, finally had a face-to-face encounter! Please stop being all 🥺, I know who you are XD;;

Lae'zel is not having a good day.

Back at camp, we have a night-time visitor bearing information.

Did we just get involved in a githyanki civil war?

That's the goddamn spirit bbygirl.

(Astarion agrees!)

Next time - meeting one of Gale's old friends (of a sort).
