He's beautiful and I love him

Another Rolan but worse. My drawing series where Rolan offs Lorroakan before Tav/DUrge arrives at Sorcerous Sundries continues!

So what are some tells for when the tiefling bachelors are hiding an injury? Maybe this is just after Moonrise towers? If they think they can sneak off with an injury they have another thing coming!

Omg it's been so long since I've posted anything of substance on this blog, hopefully everyone is able to forgive the radio silence. In good news though, I now own a fish :)

The bachelors trying to hide an injury

Dammon

Okay, hear me out, I think Dammon gets injuries of all sorts fairly regularly

A sore shoulder that never fully goes away, old burn scars littering his hands and forearms

He's gotten good at not letting on how much his body aches even after a long day in his forge

It's only when you surprise him out in his workshop one day and see him scramble to look casual that you realise something's amiss

Things clatter against the stone floor as he leans against his workbench, his other hand poorly hidden behind him

Dammon gives you his usual easy smile as he asks what you're doing dropping by

Trust me, you'll have to grab his arm to see what he's trying to hide

It's only then that you'd see the new, bright red burn that adorns half his palm

It basically glows like the embers he burned it on

Please give him some tlc while repeatedly telling him off for trying to hide this

Dammon be very apologetic the entire time you rebuke him

Zevlor

Another one with lots of injuries, like god damn

He's old, there's no arguing that, and he can feel it every time it's about to rain

I feel like he'd have hip issues but not super serious ones

You'll just see him walking a little different and it's because he's trying to hide the fact he slept wrong and feels particularly sore

Zevlor doesn't like to worry you, especially when there's so much to worry about

It'll take you a while to realise the pattern but after a bit it's easy to fall into routine

Insisting the paladin sit down for a while as you make tea, convincing him to rest without mentioning his pain directly

He's very compliant too, easily settling himself at the table and setting out food for the both of you

Zevlor appreciates a bit of tact when caring for his numerous injuries

Rolan

There is no way Rolan is outright telling you he's injured

This is despite how loudly he wants to bitch about every paper cut and stubbed toe (me too bby)

He's also the best at hiding his injuries

Wrapping his minor cuts and hiding away 'to study', carefully covering any bruise with his robes, holding back a wince when he bumps into furniture

It's only after finally defeating Thorm at Moonrise Towers that you're certain he's injured

It's been a bad few weeks for him, between the ambush and the rogue shadows, and it's time to finally make him admit the truth

He's sneaky though, and has a silver tongue, avoiding you and brushing off any concern

You'll basically have to corner Rolan in private and pull up his sleeve to reveal the multitude of bruises littering his skin

He'll make plenty of jokes about you being 'desperate to undress him' the entire time you tend to his wounds

Don't expect Rolan to get any more open with his injuries either, he'd sooner make Cal master of the Ramaziths Tower

110 hours and 13 minutes. Third complete run and first Origin run done!

In the end, didn't end up being too different to my Tavias run. Both are fundamentally Good characters who made very similar choices and with the same choice of romances (Astarion and Halsin - if the only way I can get oakbloodweave is by literally playing Gale, so be it!).

The main differences were in their personal arcs, with Tavias being a Durge and Gale having his own stuff going on, and that was my favourite part of this run - getting really into Gale's head, getting into his story. I loved all the extra details I got - the Long Rest scenes, Elminster's letter, just little insights and the like. Also, having Tara was a goddamn delight and I was genuinely disappointed when she left in act 3. Come back bby we have rooms at an inn now ;_; And because I did mess up on some parts of Tavias' run (with Rolan and Barcus in particular), I did get some great extra scenes this time.

Did miss having Gale's more autonomous scenes, I guess? Like I would have loved to see more of his voiced reactions to stuff, instead of him just being a largely silent protagonist who just had a lot more narration and text options. Still, that'd be a hell of a lot more to code in, so I can understand why it's not included in Origins. I think you definitely need to play both as an Origin and as another character interacting with them to get their full story.

But yeah, wonderful experience, will definitely be doing the rest of the Origins (next run will be Shadow'zel, just have to decide which one I'm playing) once I replay Bloodlines! (So I was done by the 16th, the 20th anniversary, to finish this run I played nearly nine hours yesterday and seven and a half today and ow my spine.)

Flower Girl

Name: Pero Ophiin (She/Her)

Race: Wood Half-Elf

Class: Druid (Circle of the Land)

Background: Outlander

WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD!

So let's get back to our favorite Druid bby, and OH BOY DOES THINGS GET ROUGH FOR POOR PERO! So, we were able to find Last Light Inn and get in good with the Harpers and Jaheira. She informed up to speak with Isobel, a Cleric of Selune who has been protecting the Inn with the Moonmaidens' light. She was able to bless Pero and her current group consisting of Astarion, Lae'zel, and Shadowheart. Pero tried to get more information about the Shadow Curse from Isobel, something that she clearly deflected to answer. But before we could continue our journey to Moonrise Towers, we were met with some terrible guests.

Marcus, a currently now ex-Flaming Fist flies into the inn demanding that Isobel come with him to Moonrise Towers. Pero was able to sus out that Isobel is needed alive at Moonrise and that she is to be delivered at any cost. Pero, obviously, refuses to give her up to the Absolute, which results in a fight to protect Isobel against Marcus and some undead fiends. Now, to be honest, I have done 3 attempts of this (technically 4, but my computer decided to crash and force me out of the game, so it doesn't count lol) battle and each of them always resulted in Isobel getting captured. Which, considering what has happened to Pero the last time I spoke about her, I think this extra bit of tragedy is a turning point for her.

With Isobel gone, the light barrier that's been protecting Last Light Inn dispels and turns all the Harpers into Shadow Cursed zombies, including Dammon! Despite Jaheira informing Pero that these individuals were no longer who they were in life, it was exceptionally difficult for Pero to cull these people, especially when it came to killing Dammon. After the tragic battle, the lose of old friends, the missing friends who were kidnapped by more of the Absolute's servants; I can imagine Pero just bawling. Everything she did in ACT 1 for the Tieflings was basically undone as most of them are either dead or taken. Then there's the Harpers, which, while she hasn't spoken or known them for long, they were still good people trying to do a good deed.

This is what breaks Pero and makes her reconsider not consuming the parasites they've encountered. She wished she was stronger to prevent all this from happening. She's angry that she wasn't strong enough to protect everyone. And now, she's vengeful enough to make a bloody march towards Moonrise Towers and rid the world of Ketheric Thorm.

We were able to convince Jaheira to join our camp as we made the trip to Moonrise Towers. And where there is darkness, there's always a light at the end of the tunnel. Pero was able to officially adopt the Owlbear Cub into her camp, so now Scratch has a bestie :D! Also, while we were blessed with Selune's protective light, we were also given the lantern that would further protect us from the Shadow Curse. However, Pero some time ago upon discovering the lantern noticed that there was a small creature that was trapped inside. The creature was a fairy named Dolly and claims that staying in the lantern hurts her. Not wanting the Fey to suffer, Pero released Dolly and was able to gain the fairys' blessing. So now the Party is completely immune to the Shadow Curse.

While traveling, Pero noticed that Rolan left behind a magical recorder, indicating that he's gone off to find his missing family. We were able to find him as he was nearly killed by some Shadows, which he was so "thankful" for our help. At this point, Pero was having none of his shit as she asked if it was better if she left him to die. Something Pero probably wouldn't have said if she was her normal self lol. Despite this, Rolan decides to hike it back to the Last Light Inn. Hopefully he'll still be alive when we decide to return back there.

While traveling around, we found a young, partially shadow-cursed boy who asked if the Party would play with them. Pero was able to ascertain that there's something terribly sad about the boy, and I have reason to believe that this might be Thaniel, even though the child says they aren't. Which could be possible, but the way the narrator expressed the vibes about the kid seems to point toward the former. We play his game of hide & seek and moved on towards Moonrise Towers.

On the way there, we encounter the best display of storytelling I've seen Larian perform, the town of Reithwin. I absolutory LOVE the environmental storytelling and story behind this town. From what I was able to sus out about this town based on the notes I found and the context clues other NPCs and the world has given me; this town was once a town dedicated to Selune, goddess of the moon, light, stars, and travel. The best way I can describe her is how Pathfinder has Desna, a goddess who has similar domains. Reithwin was once a peaceful town, but then Ketheric and his forces began enforcing the worship of Shar upon the people. Those who didn't convert had to worship Selune in secret and the people were worked to death as he demanded that any statues or idols of Selune be destroyed.

There was some resistance in the town as the masons guild hoped to stab Ketheric in the back and end this before any war could be made. But it seemed that the members of the guild got overtaken by the Shadow Curse or the war between the Druids and the Harpers before their plan could be enacted. Even more sad is that some of the corpses whom you can get inklings of their last moments of (a lot of the enemies going forward are Shadows, Wraiths, and similar) just simply wanted the fighting to stop, not caring who won in the end. While further exploring, we reunited with another familiar face, Arabella! And it seems like she's got a few tricks up her sleeves too.

apparently, the magic of the Rite of Thorns ritual and touching the idol during all of it has granted her druidic powers. So now she's perhaps either a Sorcerer or a full on Druid! Pero cautions Arabella to use her power with nature responsibly and agreed to look for Arabella's parents while the kid waited at the camp...And, well...We found them.

Unfortunately, Arabella's parents were given a untimely death as the so-called nurses at the House of Healing taken their lives. Pero did not hide this knowledge from Arabella. Pero might be a changed person, but she never lost her honesty, and lying to Arabella didn't seem right to her. While Arabella grieved for her parents, the Party decided to investigate further this supposed House of Healing. What they found was a disheveled institution that's now ran by maniac Shar worshipers who harm their patients than heal them.

At the center of all this, Malus Thorm, whom can be assumed to be the brother of Ketheric Thorm, runs the show as he presents himself a teacher to his brainwashed nurses on how to "cure" those in need. Now, did I pass those stupidly high persuasion checks to get the nurses and Malus to kill themselves? Yes. Did I require me to use nearly all of my inspiration points? Yes indeed. Listen, it was late at night and I was playing for a bit too long, I was looking for the easy way out lol. Also, I think that Astarion, Shadowheart, and even Lae'zel would've been taken aback by Pero's stance for the creatures to kill themselves. I imagine she said her words coldly and with hints of malice and seeing her telling someone to kill themselves is definitely out of character of the Pero they have grown to know.

Regardless, Pero was able to release the victim and we continued on our way.

After fighting some Kuo-Toa, we are reacquainted with Raphael once again! This time, Pero is in her no-nonsense mood with him and demands to know what he wants. Despite his riddles, Raphael explains that there is a rival in the Shar Mausoleum up ahead that he would prefer wasn't let loose and was killed instead. If they are able to kill this creature, Raphael agreed to read the scripting on Astarion's back, which, honestly is a batter deal than just simply having ones' soul whisked away. As we venture into the crypt, we learn some more information about what could've happened to Ketheric that caused him to turn to the darkness of Shar.

There's a puzzle with these drawn on murals with buttons that you must press in order. Based on this order and the diary we find down here, we can piece together the narrative of what happened to Ketheric Thorm. From the sounds of it, he must've been an influential person in Reithwin because he may have had a hand in the construction of Moonrise Towers and he was once a servant of Selune. But then someone close to him died, most likely his mother since you can find her tomb in the other room before coming to this one. From the diary, it seems someone by the name of Balthazar was able to whisper secrets of bringing back the dead to Ketheric, which moved him to become a Shar worshiper, this enacting the war between the Druids, the Harpers, and the Dark Justiciars.

After solving this puzzle, we gained access to a underground temple dedicated to Shar, which we will explore soon in another post. Meanwhile, we haven't spoken much about our companions!

After that encounter with Raphael, Pero asked further about Astarion's enslavement with Cazador and learned that there were other Spawns that Cazador kept. Astarion was his first and he was clearly favored, but Cazador considered their little coven as a family. A pretty fucked up one mind you. In a surprising turn of events, Astarion says that he pities his other "brothers & sisters" as they probably are getting the worse of Cazador's attention now that Astarion is gone. While traveling, Pero was able to find a Night Orchid and provided it as a gift to Shadowheart. And we were able to find a Githyanki holographic letter that gives the corrdinates towards the Githyanki Creche.

Now, while Lae'zel threatens to leave the Party if they don't immediately go towards the Creche, if Pero had a say in it, she would not care if Lae'zel left. Not that Pero hates her now or anything, but the answers to their problem is clearly at Moonrise Towers in Pero's opinion and there are innocent people at stake. Leaving the Curse Lands just to do Lae'zel's whole side quest is the furthest of Pero's mind, and she will not hesitate to make that known if Lae'zel decided to threaten her again with her departure.
