This will have no consequences I'm sure...

Mystra's Ward Contemplates Escape

I cannot believe Lae'zel wants to fuck Tavender. This is so out of character lmao. What even was the thought process behind it, "I see you didn't shit your pants when I attacked the owlbear today, enticing. Three days ago you would have fainted."

[thistle-spores]

Got a drawing tablet but it's "used" so I can't get the free software. Sad. Anyways I'm drawing things in paint and having a blast.

She's sooooooo...

[thistle-spores]

Not Lae'zel getting inspired when Tavender uses her illithid powers to kill a bunch of baby spiders.

[thistle-spores]

OwO can u answer 9 and 11 for tavender, milfred, and standev. 5 for tavender, and 16 for milfred.

Hehe, thank you these kept me very entertained at work!

5. What does their tent area look like? Where do they prefer to pitch their tent (next to water, covered on three sides, etc)?

Tavender: Her tent area is a decadent mess. This is the first time she's ever been separated from her servants and she has no maintenance/cleaning skills whatsoever. She tends to hoard books and there's barely any space for her to sleep in the tent (with her high quality silks that she keeps having to replace due to the dirt...) In terms of where she likes to camp, she honestly doesn't know. This is also the first time she remembers being outside and she is not used to the muck and wet and heat. So she keeps moving it around.

9. If they had to be put in a “get along shirt” with a companion, who would it be?

Milfred: Easy answer Wyll. Milfred is very selfish and a scammer and she stole from his dad. They do not get along. Funny answer Auntie Ethel. They keep trying to bind and kill each other (affectionate) and Minthara is the one who put them in the shirt.

Standev: This is a hard question to answer because Standev strives for balance and neutrality and compassion towards everyone, but if I had to pick it would be Astarion. Standev finds his lack of consideration for the potential consequences frustrating and he's constantly trying to encourage their violence in a non-productive way. Astarion also finds their general urge to be calm and understanding annoying, but he comes to appreciate it in the later game.

Tavender: God, who doesn't belong in the shirt with Tavender ghjkdfhgkjsdh.

Before the raid on the Grove it's definitely Wyll. Tavender is quite jealous of him, because she's always dreamed of being a great hero and bard and sees that in Wyll. But she also has no desire to change herself whatsoever in order to achieve that. Wyll finds Tavender's lack of care towards anyone other then herself and her interests sickening. It's really no surprise when Wyll eventually leaves.

After the creche it's Lae'zel because the two of them are going through a divorce and custody battle, and Tavender's general physical weakness starts bothering her again. Also the Illithid stuff.

But the real, true person she needs to be in that shirt with is Gale. The enemy of my enemy is my friend is a generous view of their relationship. Tavender is cruel to Gale over his wizardry, his relationship with Mystra (who is kind of Tavender's abusive step mom) and just... everything about him. She only starts becoming marginally friendly to him after meeting Elminster, but that's mostly just because she hates Mystra and doesn't want to do what the Goddess asks. There's also maybe the fact that she and Astarion are trying to figure out how to extract the orb for their own purposes (unsuccessfully). As Gale gets more powerful through the Necromancer's Tome and his general ascension to godhood (which is where I'm thinking this is going) he also starts deeply resenting Tavender and plotting her demise once the whole Absolute thing is dealt with. Very toxic.

11. What are their thoughts on clowns?

Milfred: Milfred fucking loves clowns. Thinks they're a riot. You ever tried to extort a mime? Very entertaining.

Standev: They don't recall clowns, and once introduced to the concept is mostly neutral. They like how clowns can bring levity into a chaotic and scary world, but doesn't always appreciate the humour. Also their girlfriends don't like them.

Tavender: She HATES clowns. Thinks they're basic entertainers with no appreciation for true performance art. Tavender loves the dramatic and epic over comedy. That being said she absolutely dresses like one.

16. What’s the description of their underwear in the inventory menu?

Thank you for this one I spent many a minute debating over the exact wording

Milfred: "There's a small pocket. Is that... a lucky coin? Best find a healer before rubbing it gives you the pox."

[thistle-spores]

Doing my part to make the creche more interesting (splitting up the party)

[thistle-spores]

Reloads a save so that Tavender fails her rolls. I need her to be rolling around pathetically on the ground with Astarion.

[thistle-spores]

Hey Glut maybe if you don't want to get silenced then you should stop wandering around in the middle of the fight!

[thistle-spores]

... Did the owlbear cub really follow Tavender into the Underdark lmaoo

[thistle-spores]

Found Shovel's summoning scroll for the first time. I think Shovel will be Gale's emotional support shit-talking familiar because honestly he needs it travelling with Tavender.

[thistle-spores]

I was actually initially worried that full utility support Tav wouldn't be viable (no healing and no attacks outside of unarmed attack and vicious mockery) but it's genuinely very powerful. You do have to be careful managing concentration, but otherwise you can boost the others so much.

My newest favourite combo is casting haste on Shadowheart, because then she can mirror image + guardian spirits in one round before proceeding to attack everyone twice per turn with AC boost and increased mobility.

Also. Blindness.

[thistle-spores]

Anyways, Tavender has a new look for Act 2. Her hair has been growing out and she finally learned how to dye it properly.

[thistle-spores]

Work in progress

[thistle-spores]

See the thing about Tavender is that she has eight seperate actions for running away

[thistle-spores]

Tavender playthrough more like Gale Mental Anguish Simulator
