#the wheel of fortune ✦ alfira

Because I've been talking with @bloodyarn about this a lot, but Cal, Lia, and Rolan (and in general a lot of the refugees) might seem a bit flippant with how they court others!

I like to think that because Elturel's culture is very military/fighting focused that the cultural expectations around courting are significantly different from Baldur's Gate/The Greater Sword Coast. There's less pomp and circumstance and certainly less societal rules than what I imagine somewhere like Baldur's Gate having.

Lia and Alfira are extremely forward, asking people they're interested in out for drinks or for their time very openly.

Cal is very sweet, but traditional courting standards are lost on him, and it isn't always clear when he's flirting or just being nice.

Rolan gets flustered with the concept of flirting, and in general, talking to someone about how he feels about them is a frustrating experience for everyone involved.

You have to be so painfully direct with Zevlor regarding attraction because he simply views himself as past his prime that even when someone the same age as him flirts, he can't believe it. You have a better chance at beating him in arm wrestling.

for the tav asks, 3, 4, 15, and 25?

THANKS I'D LOVE TO

Since you didn't specify, all extant Tavs' answers under the cut

3: Race and subclass?

Themistocles: Tiefling (Devil's Tongue Variant) Conjuration Wizard. He's also technically 1/4 dragon for '3rd generation adventurer' reasons but this is mechanically a nonissue because see above re: Tiefling.

Xilkalyn: Drow Twilight Cleric (thanks, Cleric Subclass Mods!) In the Vanilla game, he'd be a Light Cleric, but he's also my PC from Waterdeep Dragon Heist, where he is a Twilight Cleric of Selune.

Revka: Brass Dragonborn Open-Hand Monk. She's my only girl who wasn't a 5e PC I'm re-using and therefore she gets No Modded Special Privileges or Background.

4: If your Tav was a companion, where would they be found?

T: You probably have to rescue his dipshit tail from that adventuring party in the temple ruins. "Talk fast eat ass" does not get you very far in the wilderness, turns out.

X: Has contrived to get himself to the druid grove and is probably hanging out with Wyll and making himself insufferably useful. Doesn't feel great about the Drow cadaver on the slab in Nettie's chambers though I'll tell you what.

R: You have to break up a fight between her and Astarion, because she wandered into him first, he tried the knife thing, and they got into a STR 8 DEX-off stalemate.

15: What NPC's do they like? Which one's do they dislike?

T: Likes - He has latched on to Rolan like some sort of nerdy leech. Wants to talk Wizard shit and also smack him upside the head also maybe smooch his dumb face? (This is a problem Tim has with a lot of people, including favorite NPC number 2:) Dammon, who he wants to come live in their camp and make them cool magic items. He likes that Dammon is competent but also a fucking weirdo. Tell Tim about the Hells, Dammon. Spare no detail. Dislikes - Lorroakan. That dude is a disgrace to Wizardry, what the fuck. Headcanon that he has Professional Wizard Beef with him from before the game timeline. Raphael. You're just a Cambion, motherfucker, calm down. Same to you, Mizora. You could do better, Wyll. Enver Gortash, because he dicked over Best Girl Karlach Cliffgate.

X: Likes - Xilkalyn actually recruits Minthara (now that you can do it without committing atrocities), so Halsin is his favorite! They get along, being relatively well-adjusted. He's extremely fond of Alfira, because he has a terminal soft-spot for Bards and she's very Nice. He feels religiously obligated to like Dame Aylin but she's. Intense. He's mostly intimidated by Dame Aylin. Dislikes - Holy shit on a stick but Viconia DeVir. She is a microcosm of so much generational trauma and also so much Kalyn Is Actively A Selunite and so much This Is Why People Don't Like Us. The Emperor. Xilkalyn extended so much benefit of the doubt and for what, man. For fucking what.

R: Likes - Has big-sisterly feeling towards Mol that are probably unwarranted and are certainly unreciprocated. Simps for Nine-Fingers because her taste in women is "dangerous." Much like Tim, also think Lucretious is Neat. Blurg and Omeluum! They're chill dudes, she respects what they've got going down, calm down, Lae'zel. Dislikes - the Zhentarim. Rugan didn't deserve that, probably. Orin, because, Jesus Christ, also, give Lae'zel back >:(

25: What arcana major best represents your Tav?

T: Wheel of Fortune

X: The Hanged Man

R: The Chariot

Gives Alfira the BIGGEST HUG!!1!!1!1

A giggle bubbled forth from Alfira in delight. "Too tight! I fear I'll faint!-" With a hand over her forehead, Alfira went limp in @countercharmd's hug like a cat that didn't know how to act when picked up. All floppy limbs and dead weight.

Opening her eyes, she did her best to appear innocent as she stood partially supported by Serendipity. "I thought you were going to leave Baldur's Gate once your work is done, what are you still doing here?" She prompted, tail flicking with curiosity.
