#never ending adventure

[studentinpursuitofclouds]

Hello. I love your head cannons and stories.

I was wondering if you had any for the characters in East Scarp, especially for Mateo who is my absolute favorite. I'm particularly curious on how you imagine other modded characters would view them.

Hope that's not to much to ask, but if it is that's OK. Thank you for your time.

Hello dear! 👋

Unfortunately, I'm not really writing headcanons on East Scarp right now, because I removed this mod due to the fact that it conflicted with my other mods, making the game unplayable for me. I definitely remember having some problem with "Always Raining in the Valley", which is sad, I wanted to play and see Sterling's events (and I miss Mateo too 🥲) I've been meaning to get back to the mod, and will soon, but it's probably worth going through without the other mods

I can, however, write something for Mateo, as I remember the most information about them in the time I've had time to play the East Scarp. Since you mentioned mod characters but didn't specify which ones, I'll take the adventurer/mage reactions from SVE. I hope you don't mind. Thanks for your ask, and have a good day 💖

_________________________________________

As with Farmer, Marlon shows concern for the young Guild member, trying (with Gunther) to persuade the stubborn adventurer to stop avoiding them and stop bemoaning their past. Even when Mateo made the decision to organise their own Guild to be the protector of East Scarp, the old adventurer's heart is brimming with pride.

Oh, Alesia remembers them! Marlon told her not only about the Farmer and their merits, but also about Mateo, a good kid who "just lost their way a bit". Sniper decided not to question the former teacher about what that meant, but he trusted them and she would. Especially since he praised Mateo, as well as Farmer, and called them brave and talented adventurers.

Isaac, on the other hand, is not impressed by the stories. He respects Marlon, but the adventurer with a scar believes that the old man overestimates his students. There are no strong monsters in the valley for the youngsters to temper their abilities. It's unlikely that this Mateo will even stand up to an ordinary shadow brute. Though who knows. Anyway, Isaac is not too interested in the newcomers, busy with his own, more important matters.

Hmm, interesting... Another young adventurer with good potential. Yes, Camilla felt that with proper training, their Marlon's student would make a very good monster hunter. If they had magic like Farmer, it would be a real powerful and unstoppable duo. Though for Camilla, that still means more victims for her endless teasing and jokes.

That's not to say Jadu is surprised at the new member of the Adventurer's Guild. It's good that the Valley is protected by several young adventurers, not just Marlon with Gil and Magnus (no offence to the three men mentioned, but the Guild needed fresh blood). As it is - Jadu won't have any special reaction to Mateo, other than the realisation that he'll probably be hearing their name in the Castle Village too, apart from Farmer's.

Ah, a fellow adventurer! Lance warmly welcomes Mateo, who has decided to get serious about protecting East Scarp. A noble endeavour, as even there monsters can dwell there, especially he had heard for rock crab activity... Lance had already heard that Mateo was a pretty good fighter. Maybe since it didn't work out to lure Farmer into The First Slash, it would work out with Mateo? *Chuckle* Lance is just joking. Good job, adventurer. Keep the Valley safe.

Confronting Mateo

Couple of quests had popped up on a rainy day, so Callie made her way to the mines to fulfill them and finally triggered this scene:

Not gonna lie, that bottom line from Mateo was the moment I decided they were my Callie's BFF. I identify with some things a bit too strongly.

This line here? First time I played through, I thought it a throwaway line. Dear readers, let me assure you that it is not, and the scene that follows can be missed if you're not careful.

Don't want to spoil things too far, but it's a good scene.

Don't miss it.

All my 1.6 playthrough posts can be found here, and my mod loadout here. If you're curious about Callie and my attempt to interweave SVE, Ridgeside, and East Scarp, look here for an ongoing series about her first year.

personally my fave thing is how whenever izzy is on d20 and she will let brennan talk for like five minutes and then brutally and unapologetically snipe him

hmmm I know we can surmise that kaz & jordie were the iphigenia of the series, in that, whether it's fair or not, they had to be sacrificed for the benefit of everyone else. jordie had to die and kaz had to suffer it and live with it, because if kaz had lain down and died on the barge, it would have had a crazy knock-on effect. inej likely would never have escaped the menagerie, or matthias from hellgate, jesper would probably have fallen foul of debtors or gangs some way or another (he gets at least one beating from enforcers), nina would have been caught up w the dime lions trying to get matthias out of hellgate, and there's even some more tangential ones, like kuwei probably dying at the ice court and marya being stuck at saint hilde.... but I wonder what would have happened to wylan.

kaz had him under dregs protection, so he never suffered the way he did ("kaz is your luck, merchling."); no beatings, etc. without that... well, it's tempting to think that wylan would have just been killed some way or another. and yeah, maybe, but miggson and prior couldn't get him, could they? wylan has that scary glimmer of the biting-animal, kaz-style survivalist in him, and he had a goal; amass enough money to get the hell out of ketterdam and start anew. but how far would wylan have gone to get that money? van eck's letters pushed him into the arms of dregs munitions building. without the perpetual intervention of kaz-- protection, constant jobs even when there were better people for it, good pay-- how quickly would wylan have turned into someone more like kaz? he has a core of decency, but he gets the privilege of keeping that, because kaz helps him to. alone, would he have surrendered it, or been forced to surrender it, just for a chance to survive? I don't think he would have ever willingly given up. it's not an accident that kaz and wylan's first days in ketterdam are so closely paralleled, or that they have a set of similar skills/traits; it's explicitly said that wylan would also be able to count cards and control decks like kaz can, if he wanted to. and after he finds out about his mother, wylan's comforted by the idea of retribution for van eck, that kaz could destroy his father's life. they're a little bit too similar. but kaz is there to take the moral fall, for the most part; all wylan has to do is help him. but without kaz... well. that's another story, isn't it?

Funny thing, but as I studied the events of NEA Mateo and their interactions with Marlon and Gunther, I somehow felt... a prick of envy. Just considering that in the case of my OC Farmer Julian, he has a pretty strong relationship with Marlon (after Julian's father died, the old man became his father figure). And the way Marlon treats Mateo with such concern and care, like his own kid.... And I'm like wha- what about our Farmer? What about Julian? 🥲

Marlon: You're doing great, Mateo. I'm proud of you, kid.

Farmer: You... You never said that to me...

Or like:

Marlon: Mateo, you become our 13th member of the Adventurers Guild, congratulations. Good job, kiddo!

Farmer: Bu- But I'M the 13th member of the Adventures Guild, they should be 14th (or 15th if Kent joins early)! What is this bullshit!?

Mateo's Heart Event Extravaganza

After getting inundated with drama Heart Events last time, this time she got hit with several again. This time, they all featured everyone's favorite, lovable rogue: Mateo. But since I'm trying to avoid spoiling much, I'll just leave you with a few hints.

First, she went up to the Guildhall to sell off equipment and instead got caught up in Marlon and Gunther's plotting:

Once said plan went off without a hitch, apparently Callie and Mateo decided to hit up the saloon, and along the way the pair stumbled upon Lewis locked out of his house. Mateo managed to use a trick they knew to get him back inside, but he wasn't impressed:

But they did finally make it to the saloon.
