🛏️ 📆 for Balthazar and 🌊 🪤 for Carmen please?

From this prompt list. Thanks for the ask!

Balthazar

🛏️ What does your OC’s bed look like? What would they like their bed to look like?

Feel like I have a description already written somewhere, but I'm too sleepy to hunt for it... The privileged position in the Stolen Lands comes with many benefits, and one is having a really nice bed. The bed of dreams in many ways. Balthazar's bed is a roomy four poster in elegant dark wood hung with bright curtains- in winter they're a heavy velvet, but in warmer months are exchanged for something lighter and more decorative. Soft sheets and blankets match the curtains. A rather unnecessary number of very soft pillows is always on the bed. Balthazar enjoys sprawling across them for some reason, although usually at least three wind up on the floor by morning. It's luxurious, it's comfortable, it's a bit imposing, and it suits the desires of a restless sleeper who always needs something soft to settle down on. It's a great change of pace after the flophouse he'd been sleeping in for some time before the barony.

📅 If your OC had one day left to live, how would they spend it?

If he only had one day left and he knew it, he'd spend it trying to cheat death. Consulting tomes, magical and religious experts, wracking his brain for any bit of lost lore to elude it... If he knew what was going to kill him he'd make an effort to evade it. He would try very hard to set up contingencies to bring him back from the dead however possible (ideally some form of resurrection). It would take an awful lot to get him to direct his energy anywhere else. Up to the last hour he'd be trying to figure it out- somewhere at the very end perhaps he'd finally despair.

Carmen

🌊Has your OC ever seen the ocean? If not, do they want to? What do they think of it?

In Pathfinder? No, never. She was born inland and has only gone north deeper into the continent in her life. She understands that there's something of a romance to the ocean as a concept and it's a bit fascinating, but it's hard to see what would make it special relative to a very large lake like Lake Encarthan or the Lake of Mists and Veils (she's seen both).

(In our Greyhawk campaign the answer was yes-she finds it unsettling. There's something about it being so vast and unknowable...)

🪤 What is one thing that could be used to lure your OC into a trap?

A fun question! Carmen thinks of herself as heroic. The surest thing would probably be the suffering of those she considers innocent. She's not one to stand by while innocent civilians are harmed if she thinks there's anything she could do about it. If something happened to Ember, she would do anything to rescue her as well. Her nature is quite self sacrificing for an evil character.
