And so, its rules are set as follows: You have one tenday to ascertain the identity of my Master. Fail, and you shall be rewarded greatly: with a death far more thrilling than your odious day job!

Naturally, this game is compulsory. And you are already playing, like it or not.

Tick, tock, detective!

For those who don't know: "Blood in Baldur's Gate" was a community driven murder mystery game that Larian ran in the lead up to the final "Panel from Hell" before Baldur's Gate 3 left early access. Spoilers under the cut:

The game followed a detective by the name of Tav, who investigated a series of brutal murders fifteen years before the events of the game. Community members voted on which leads to investigate, and which persons of interest to pursue. In the end, the killer was revealed to be none other than Dark Urge, and Tav was brutally slain.

It occurred to me the other day that I didn't have a good repository of some of the artwork for Blood in Baldur's Gate if the website ever went down, so I've compiled some screenshots below:

Atavian Katabast, former adventuring-detective, current alchemist and apothecary.

• Race

Asmodeus Tiefling, though he couldn't really tell you his lineage, if you asked him.

• Class

Wizard! He's a reluctant necromancer, but he's a bit too good at it for someone who has moral qualms about disturbing the dead.

• Backstory (Spoilers for Blood in Baldurs Gate)

In 1477, Atavian and his wife, Daisy Katabast, investigated a series of murders in Baldurs Gate. Through the course of the investigation, they deduced that not only was there a singular killer responsible for these murders, but that the killer had some sort of affiliation with Bhaal. Unfortunately for them, Atavian was soon informed by a mysterious “butler” that he'd attracted the attention of the killer. The two were able to defeat the killer in a confrontation in the sewers, though not without Atavian being wounded in the fight (notably losing his left ear).

Fifteen years later, things have changed significantly for the Katabast family. After the encounter with the killer, Atavian retired from the detective life, and took on his friend Drusillas alchemy business. Daisy passed away in 1482, and their children have reached adulthood. Around the tail end of Ches, Atavian was asked to come out of retirement by a neighbor, whose son had gone missing, a servant of the Vanthampurs.

The next thing he knew, he was laying on a river bank in the middle of nowhere, with a tadpole in his brain, unable to remember anything about himself (including his name), and in a body that was twenty years younger.

• Personality

Katabast, man that you are. He's stubborn, a busy-body, and entirely too self righteous for a necromancer. He's also determined, curious and compassionate towards his companions, and will doggedly hold on to a moral standard when all moral authorities around him start to fail.

He loves his children more than life itself, and despite it's every attempt to prove otherwise, he hopes that Baldurs Gate can be not just a great city, but a home to those with nowhere else to go.

• Who they're romancing

I've done multiple romances with Atavian now, but honestly I think he's better suited with Halsin as a lover than anyone else (although he is also very cute with Gale, it's just that the two are so different in how they picture domesticity that it'd be a struggle for them to compromise).

• An interesting hobby they have

Funnily enough, being a wizard and studying magic had kind of turned into his hobby for the last several years. Taking care of his (now adult) kids, running an alchemist shop, and “unofficially” taking cases keep him pretty busy. I think if he ended up retiring post-game, he would be driving his kids up the wall, because the man cannot not be working in some capacity.

Tav thread???  I wanna see em all.
