#flamestrike

[feudalismoffire]

So I was reading into Dragonlance, one setting of dnd and I encountered a very remarkable red dragon in my opinion

Flamestrike, or aka Matafleur is an ancient red dragoness who fought in the Third Dragon War, after witnessing her entire offspring being killed by dragonlances, she retreated and disappeared from sights for centuries, until resurfacing to help the dragonarmies during the War of the Dragon Lance.

She was tasked to protect the fortress in Pax Tharkas, the new HQ of the dragonarmy. However, due to her aging and becoming senile, blind of one eye and lacking some self-care, she started to take care of the children under her watch as refugees came by and were used as slave labour by her lords.

Matafleur took care of them, referring to them as hers and actually tried to not cause any harm to them.

Later, as the adventurers come to free the slaves, she didn't attack them, as much as she wanted to, to do so would harm the children under her care, so she relutanctly let them go. Later Ember, a red dragon, mount of a dragon highlord come to take revenge upon the loss of the fortress, battling the adventurers.

In a outburst of rage upon hearing the dragon highlord would execute everyone, the children included, she attacked them, throwing the lord away and battling the stronger and mot fit Ember. She later threw him and herself at a mountain, causing the rocks to slide and kill them both.

-------------

You know, I love evil characters trying to be sweet, I think its my favorite trope, its the reason why I created Launairk, a big scary monster trying to be harmless to the defenseless beings around it, and so I immediately loved Matafleur, no matter how small her character was to the whole plot.

Aside being an opposite red dragon in many standards, as they are infamous for eating the young from other races.

A 100ft long (30 meters, for my based non imperials), she was freaking massive and I can only imagine her interactions with literally small children. I believe she would be a stern motherly figure, harsh and angry, but never dared to hurt them.

Probably also roasted some meat for them, near carbonized, its... Not the best thing to eat, but hey, would they refuse mommy's food? They wouldn't, yeah. 💀

https://davventura.altervista.org/dof-matafleur/ L’ultimo elemento è quello dei #draghi, ma più #Flamestrike/#Matafleur (sul #Modulo il suo nome è riportato con un errore di stampa) che #Ember/#Pyros – perché quest’ultimo troppo intelligente e sicuro di sé per potersi comportare diversamente dal “#tiranno” con dei semplici esseri umani. Come ho sritto in precedenza, i miei studi sulla storia di #DungeonsandDragons sono ancora molto lacunosi per posizionare queste due bestie con precisione nella #storiografia editoriale della #TSR, quindi non so dire con esattezza se questa è la prima occasione in cui i draghi vengono impiegati nelle avventure ufficiali come personaggi — non — giocanti e antagonisti “completi”: mostri di irraggiungibile potenza ma anche eminenze capaci di intervenite con la loro intelligenza e personalità sugli avvenimenti. https://www.instagram.com/p/CnHt4v-sKXd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Live footage of flamewar trying to seduce shadow striker.

#shadow striker #flamewar #flamestriker? #shadowflame?

[pluralsword]

(one must be gentle) they can hold hands. Love Flamewar and Shadow Striker together so much. The smaller side of Flamewar's hand, where the thumb is, is what we squeezed through Shadow Striker's hand slowly, be careful

Also spinning wheels image that is either just non-sexual sensuality pg13 or somewhat lewd (imo also in pg13 territory) depending on context. Going by Lost Light where Roller is spinning Nickel's wheel feet in public and commenting that she has very nice wheels while Nickel smiles about it and enjoys it, it isn't necessarily horny enough or intimate enough to avoid doing in public. But on a basis of Devils Due (humor, decidedly, but still) it might be given that in G.I. Joe vs. The Transformers III Arcee flirts with Bumblebee by saying 'forget kissing you if you win our race to the spacebridge, I'll rotate your tires instead,' which while decidedly different than spinning someone's wheels since rotating tires means switching tire positions on a vehicle/bot (which is actually important for maintenance and upkeep which raises more questions), Bumblebee then yelling 'Wahoo!' and racing ahead makes us wonder how he'd feel about wheels getting touched in general.

For the sake of our own writing we share on this account and this image, we write sensory touch of different parts of the body of a transformer in this manner whether wings or wheels or back stacks or doors or tails or what have you as something partnering bots do for aesthetic/gender affirmation and euphoria which does confer a sort of pleasure of 'making real' (if you want to be academic, reification) in particular in part because it helps them connect with their alt mode and the shape they enjoy, rather than er, a sexual drive, though it certainly can be sensual. We suppose that touching one's corresponding arm or thigh parts while they are in alt mode would be similar, though we haven't written that yet. It's not just a multimodal thing though, its also just, sharing one's shapes with each other and making love in that regard. Which is a very trusting intimate thing to do with someone whether or not sex is involved, as many asexual people could tell you. If you want examples of our writing in this sense, you can check out:

-some chromeblade smooching and wing and wheel touching in Chapter 7 of Rekindling Flight, before we figured out how to write the euphoria aspect of this in a lovemaking manner. We might go back and add to this.

-Chapter 3 and Chapter 15 of Addendum (an IDW1 Arcee novel fanfic) with Arcee/Codexa and Anode/Lug respectively, amusingly Chapter 3 is before Arcee's surgery and Chapter 15 is before Anode's while she and Lug are still trying to figure out their genders, so they both have a sense of trying to give and/or receiving euphoria to help with dysphoria by reifying parts of the body the two wanted to change

-Trusting Transformations is an Arcee x reader fic that also touches on this (the reader's character is a gender/aesthetically expansive transformer)

We want to talk about casual or reassuring contextually non-sensual public touch of alt mode kibble is commonplace among friends or from aesthetic/gender kinship but don't have the spoons to get into that and real world human bodied parallels rn. And yes that, and intimate affirmation touch are all things we have experienced and that we are deeply glad for

Hi! I love your headcanons and fics! Can I request Astarion and a Tav that is a follower of Bahamuth the platinum dragon? Could it be a Paladin, a Cleric or a Sorcerer?

Oh, this is a nice idea! I've already made Cleric of Selûne! Tav and Cleric of Latander!Tav - time to see rare gods!

Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon is the deity of good-aligned dragons and metallic dragons, being considered the first of their kind. He is a sworn enemy of Tiamat, the Scaled Tyrant, who is the queen of the chromatic dragons.

Masterlist

Headcanons

Astarion x Cleric of Bahamuth!Tav

You are forced into marriage when you were fifteen.

A common practice in your area but that doesn't make it any less awful.

Your husband, a man who has buried three wives before you, is eager to consummate the marriage.

You barely remember the first wedding night and the nights that follow.

Only pain, beatings, and humiliation.

So you decide to run.

Your husband's people have been hunting you like a doe until one day you met a monk.

The monk fight your husband's people with his bare hands.

You are free but for how long.

He is powerful. He is vindictive. He is unforgiving.

You beg the monk to take you with him and he agrees.

You spend a year learning under his training - he is a wise man, kind and intelligent.

He teaches you the ways of magic and secret knowledge of dragons.

You assist him in his travels and help the less fortunate.

One day, he reveals his true form to you.

He is Bahamuth, the god of good-aligned dragons, who prefers to live with mortals.

Оnce the initial shock wears off, you swear your allegiance to him.

The Dragon God makes you his priest, a cleric of the light domain.

Bahamut does not demand anything from you except that you be a good person - otherwise he receives his blessings from you. That is all. You are not obliged to obey him.

As your first mission, you are asked to go to Baldur's Gate and help people who suffer from the Absolute cult but on the way to the city you are kidnapped.

You manage to unite people around you - you strike hope in your companions.

Even in Astarion, though, he will never admit it.

He mocks your religion and your faith but you are patient and, with time, he becomes more accepting.

You don't how to react to his confession - the forced marriage and matrimonial rape made a mental block in your head.

You don't know how to love.

But you know how to care and, gods, Astarion needs a dragon to be saved from his misery.

Your relationship is rather asexual - you both aren't sure you ever want to have sex.

You destroy his master with Flamestrike and Daylight.

In the graveyard, you both forget all your traumas - and spend a night in each other's arms.

In the middle of the acts you almost get arrested for public misconduct but you make a fuss showing your cleric symbols.

It's not like the poor guardian knows Bahamut doesn't require having sex on the cemetery.

With the tadpole gone, you are adamant about finding Astarion a cure.

Not just an ability to walk in the sun, but the cure.

Bahamuth must know how to do that but you can't contact him though you feel his presence.

You and Astarion decide to travel through Faerun.

With time, Astarion accepts your faith. Sometimes he prays with you and he always listens to your theological lectures.

Unfortunately, when there is a vampire, there is a monster hunter.

Astarion is killed - and his body turns to ashes.

You are devastated.

It's unfair.

You deny Bahamuth and spend a year doing everything he despises.

Murders, debauchery, crimes.

One morning you wake in a dungeon cell with a very familiar monk as your cellmate.

Bahamuth listens to your cries and complaints and... ask to forgive him.

He is a god. A dragon. He doesn't understand mortals.

You ask him to return you Astarion and he agrees.

Besides, he's wanted to pay a visit to Hells a long time ago.

He keeps his promise - Astarion is back. Bahamuth says he is going to the Astral Sea and you will probably not meet again in your mortal life.

When Astarion opens his eyes, you are too busy cradling him in your arms to notice something is off.

His eyes are green and his skin isn't that pale.

There is a beating heart in his chest and he breathes.

A resurrected vampire is a mortal.

He needs time to get used to his mortal body but his vampiric years feel to him like a nightmare.

One day he confesses to you that as he was praying to gods to save him he never prayed to Bahamuth.

He just didn't know such a god existed.

[silverskye13]

(sorry if this got sent twice, internet is very spotty at the moment) Rotating RnS Helsknight in my mind. I keep debating what dnd paladin oath he'd swear. Glory is fitting but also seems TOO obvious. I almost want to say Devotion just for the irony/contrast of it, and since he genuinely wants to make Hels better, and it would make RnS Wels lose his entire mind if he found out

Oooo I have a soft spot for this, because in my Curse of Strahd campaign right now, my paladin Ashborne is just beginning-of-RnS Helsknight. I couldn't think of a good character so I just built Helsknight as a fire genasi, except instead of Tanguish he has a shadow god sitting on his shoulder telling him to kill people, and instead of a crippling fear of death its a crippling fear of never being used to his full potential by his god.

........ Anyway.

DnD Paladin Helsknight rambles under the cut!

In my opinion, I kind of have to agree that Helsknight best matches Oath of Devotion. The oaths especially line up almost perfectly with his knightly tenets:

Courage. Never fear to act, though caution is wise. [May you meet every obstacle with courage, for just as all that emits light must endure burning, all the courageous must make a brother of their fears.]

Honesty. Don't lie or cheat. Let your word be your promise. [May your word be binding as chains.]

Compassion. Aid others, protect the weak, and punish those who threaten them. Show mercy to your foes, but temper it with wisdom. [Any sword raised to the innocent or unarmed in cruelty is blackened by its shame.]

Honor. Treat others with fairness, and let your honorable deeds be an example to them. Do as much good as possible while causing the least amount of harm. [May you respect the honor of your fellow helsmet, that none may know you cruel or slave to vice.]

Duty. Be responsible for your actions and their consequences, protect those entrusted to your care, and obey those who have just authority over you. [May you persevere to the end of any enterprise begun, for the folly is theirs that, through unfinished business, never gain wisdom from deeds done.]

There's also stuff that hasn't been breeched in the plot yet that are... Eerily similar to plot points I have planned. Holy Weapon, for example, I think in the Colosseum Helsknight uses a flamed sword, which is functionally the same as enchanting your weapon with holy damage for the coolness factor [Channel Divinity: Sacred Weapon]. And if you outright asked Hels if he was inspiring, he would probably say no. But anyone within 10ft of him probably wouldn't be charmed against him by someone persuasive like the Demon [7th level Aura of Devotion]. Given how handily I think Helsknight fights Welsknight, and how I think he negates Wels's... For the sake of DnDing I'm going to say fey energy and persuasiveness, Purity of Spirit is a good match.

[Don't have a lot to say about the Lvl20 Holy Nimbus, because tbh that's one of the weakest level 20 paladin boons I think there is. Flat 10 radiant damage every round for enemies within 30ft of you is handy, but the saving throws only have advantage if the spellcasters are fiends and undead, and there are many, many big angry critters in DnD that are neither of those two monster types.]

I do think a Helsknight with access to the spell Flamestrike would be absolutely terrifying though lol.

On a more vibes level, when I started the story, I thought Helsknight was a lot closer to Oath of Conquest, with how he treated Welsknight specifically [which is, incidentally, why my CoS paladin Ashborne is Oath of Conquest]. The tenets don't match Helsknight's too terribly well [they're mostly to the effect of "kill all your enemies so dead that everyone is too terrified to stand against you."] However the Channel Divinities of Conquering Presence [everyone you can see is terrified of you now] and Guided Strike [I'm so pissed at you specifically that I will kill you supernaturally easily] align well with angry chapters 1-8 Helsknight. And one could argue every time he's angry, Tanguish is cowering under the Aura of Conquest [anything scared of you is now too scared to move and takes psychic damage.] And I think in text Helsknight does Scornful Rebuke on the regular [anytime something hits you, they are psychically punished for their audacity up to your Charisma modifier.]

[Level 20 Invincible Conquerer basically turns you into a barbarian paladin, which is badass. Helsknight can't do that, but that's so so cool.]

For the spells, Armor of Agythis as Helsknight's thorns armor is compelling to me, and Command, Hold Person and Fear are just things Helsknight can do to people when he's angry enough [also Compelled Dual, but all paladins get that].

If anything, I feel like Helsknight started RnS as Oath of Conquest, and then when he became friends with Tanguish, switched immediately to Oath of Devotion.

[Meanwhile if I had to make Tanguish a paladin, I think he would be Oath of Redemption, but I'll save that rant for some other time.]

#answering asks #recherche-raptor #dnd paladins #redstone and skulk #helsknight #tanguish #unrelated to the above but last session i got to have Ashborne drop the phrase “i was made to be a sword in the hands of a god.” #which i feel like i wrote almost word for word in RnS last chapter XD #if my DnD table only knew #rns asks

Character Idea:

Urban Druid who tends to the back alleys, landfills, abandoned buildings, and sewers of the realm. Can summon different kinds of city animals like rats, stray dogs, raccoons, feral cats, trubbish from Pokemon, etc. Masters of plastic-smithing and can freely use weapons and armor made from it.

Magic is flavored as them manipulating microplastics in the environment and our bodies. (i.e: flamestrike is superheating microplastics in the air, all healing is done by manipulating microplastics in our bloodstreams and using microplastics to knit wounds and repair bones, the new body created by reincarnation is 99% made from plastic molecules, etc)

They gain advantage on stealth rolls in urban areas because they’re indistinguishable from the homeless people that city dwellers ignore anyway.

Happy Lesbian Visibility Week!

This is Eclipse of (AU) ThunderClan!

some info on the au is here

Eclipse is the mate of Gingerstar, who’s the leader of ThunderClan!

they are gay and happily in love <3 Gingerstar is bisexual and Eclipse is lesbian

Gingerstar is friends with Blizzardstar, leader of StormClan :)

AU Synopsis: The five clans discover three clans living near the old SkyClan’s ravine, StormClan, StoneClan, and SunClan.

there was one other clan but imma change it to only those three

Gingerstar was a role that i made up called ambassador, for ThunderClan, which basically meant she traveled around the clans and territory and stuff and relayed messages, basically a messenger. She discovered the three new clans too while on a mission. She was offered the deputy position multiple times but turned it down for a while because of that role. Gingerstar met Eclipse too, and brought her back to her clan after she ran away from her parents on a farm.

StormClan was created by a cat named Soaringhawk, who was a SkyClan cat in the old forest territory. He left when SkyClan was kicked out and created his own clan.

StoneClan was created by a former ThunderClan cat, Adderstrike/star. In Blizzardstar’s apprentice time their leader is Boulderpelt/star. Blizzardstar is friends with Snakeeyes/star, the leader after. They became friends when the former StormClan cats that fled when the coup happened came to StoneClan for help.

SunClan was already there a long time ago, created by a rogue who had heard of the ancient Clans. They have a very interesting line of leaders, but I don’t remember what their creator’s name was. However, notable leaders were Badgerstar, then Lynxstar, Badgerstar’s apprentice and mate of Honeystar, the next leader who killed him because he had become a tyrant and was… a shitty cat, like Badgerstar. Honeystar had another mate after, who became the next leader. Their leader is Flamestar in Blizzardstar’s time.

There’s also a rogue ‘clan’ called DarkClan living near those three as well. They killed a lot of StormClan, Blizzardstar lost three lives.

i never named the au sooo its now named StormStoneSunAU, maybe I’ll make more posts on it maybe not

SO uh... Remember that time I came up with all those Warrior Cat versions of the Danganronpa cast? Well guess who's been chronically addicted to playing Clangen for the last month.

I made these using a program called CatMaker which is based on Clangen, but unfortunately there doesn't yet exist a function to export the cats you make so you can play with them in the game. So this is the next best thing I could do

I'll give you a minute to try to guess who everyone is based on names and appearance if you want to, then come back and read under the cut

FLAMESTRIKE - "Where Glory Awaits"

#Youtube

[mdhwrites]

I know you made the glyph post a bit ago, but I just read it and i was thinking about it. The one thing that's always bothered me about the glyphs is the extrapolation (or lack of) that can be done to them.

Like. (pardon for the cringe) homestucks 12 aspects cover (or have the potential to cover) literally any type of power/ability that could ever exist, by taking in account the aspects themes/shown active/passive abilities/ect

But the glyphs don't have that. the canon number is 4. Light, Ice, Plant, Fire. And arguably fire and light would end up very similar thematically. Since they would be, that leaves ice and plant to do all the heavy lifting, and I don't think that's very possible for those two glyphs to do. Which is very strange to me. Like how are you getting everything from four components, two of which are arguably very similar? I just. It confuses me so much dude.

So first: Never apologize for your passions. Like what you like. Though admittedly, I've never looked into Homestuck nor have interest in it myself. ^^; Something that inspires as much as it has cannot be literally all bad though.

Anyways, moving on. So to play Devil's Advocate briefly, the four spells can technically be pointed at as the four elements. Fire, water, earth and... air. The last one is the most dubious though as air isn't commonly associated with any specific element unless light in the setting itself is an element. Instead, it's commonly more towards the school of conjuration/energy magic. A lot of elemental magic in D&D falls into conjuration (if I'm remembering right) and it's effectively your offensive magic which TOH doesn't actually have a coven for.

Which is kind of the problem with their magic system in general and they don't have any interest in abiding by it. The magic is SEVERELY constricting on all levels. The glyphs do not make sense to able to even form all of the schools of magic in the coven system after all, not with SEVERELY complex combos how the fuck you go from making plant life to actual life with abominations or how you turn light into sound waves for bardic magic. And remember: This is a magic system where the light glyph, the closest to air it has, is ABSENT from a teleportation spell that creates a giant flash of light. We know this because not only can we see the glyphs but Philip straight up didn't know the light glyph.

Quick aside that brings up btw is that Luz keeps blaming herself for teaching Philip the light glyph but like... That didn't do anything. Like literally nothing. I guess it's still a way she 'helped' him but that's just like if Lilith blamed herself for him creating a religion because she let it slip that the skull is considered sacred ground. It's flimsy and by no means your fault.

Anyways, back on track: The coven system is very similar. Who casts a fireball? We know they do things like energy blasts and flamestrikes so... What coven has that authority? Or is it only the Emperor's Coven? Except the monster hunters have magical blasts and they're clearly not part of the EC? Not that the show cares when it has coven heads explicitly doing magic that they supposedly can't like most of their magic in Hollow Mind.

What it and most magic in the series ends up feeling like is that it was a cool idea they came up with but then grew bored of so they just... Stopped giving a shit so they could do what they wanted. Luz's magic is too simple in single glyph form though for the spells they wanted so they spent half an episode establishing "Hey, Luz doesn't need to get new spells from literally ANYWHERE. She just can produce a glyph combo and it can do whatever we want it too."

Even the combo spells function this way. The Invisibility glyph has a very classic, very good limitation. Stillness of breath equals stillness of being equals stillness of presence. However, at least in this state, it's an all or nothing deal because it matches your breathing. You can't hide only part of your presence because otherwise... Why would you breathing matter?

Until King's Tide where they had to come up with BS for Luz to get a win against Belos and she disguises a completely inanimate object that can't breathe. Why does her breathing matter for it? It's not like it's a concentration thing. Glyphs don't base their powers off of the caster, Gus proves that along with pretty much anyone who uses a glyph frankly.

This isn't new though. The portal door is the most fucked thing magically because of it. "We want the magic to do X, regardless of the Y we setup earlier." And some might claim this is because it's a soft magic system but that's not how a soft magic system works. It's too complicated to go in hard here but like... You can't make it so that Expelliarmus from Harry Potter suddenly also disrobes your opponent entirely and makes them cluck like a chicken. It's still established as a basic disarming spell. What makes the system soft is that outside of just knowing the word and gesture, you don't need anything else. There aren't a lot of rules in place for the magic so someone coming up with a new spell literally only needs a gesture and a name. D&D isn't much harder than this as so long as you have a spell slot, the components of it, you can cast most spells besides revival spells. But those spells can only be amplified, they don't function genuinely different everytime you cast them unless there is actually an outside force.

This isn't true with TOH. The magic is just purely a plot device, to do with what the writers need to do with them. And, well, in a fantasy story, that means one of the absolute most basic, core components to your genre, you're just throwing out. Just not giving a single fuck about when YOU chose to write a fantasy story.

And that's no good, to quote other cringe.

I just did 260 collective damage with Wyll's Flamestrike. Before that my biggest hit was 180 with Shadowheart's. Kinda nuts.

Chapter Four- Akira

I touched down in the rebel camp, carrying the bags of supplies and looking for Kytor, the leader of the rebels. I spotted him with a Flamestrike, going over maps of the Trenches.

I looked at the sea of people between here and the table, sighed, and lifted into the air again. I soared over the crowd. I had to try not to flap my wings too much, as it would disturb the air and buffet the people below me. 

I landed beside Kytor and the Flamestrike. Jeni, I think her name was. 

I nodded a greeting to Jeni and glanced at Kytor.

“Has Johan told you yet?” I asked. He nodded, and turned to dismiss Jeni. While he spoke to the lieutenant, I glanced at the bag I was holding. I had cut open the other one, and was worried that this one would break open from everything I had shoved in there.

Kytor turned away from Jeni, who was now making her way through the camp to the central clearing. “Johan is waiting in the command tent, as well as some of our best battle leaders. If we’ve found an invader storehouse, we must act fast.”

He always talked like this. So formal, like an invader noble. I knew he had used to live in the palace as a slave, and had been forced to learn to speak ‘properly’. 

He had a lot to hold against the invaders. 

We entered the tent, and I looked around at the gathering of rebels. Jeni was there, fire flickering around her fingers. I saw Johan in the back, looking a little nervous.

I noticed a Poison Touch, but he was hard to pick out. Most people didn’t notice them, but I knew that a Poison Touch always wore gloves, and the vein visible in his neck was slightly green.

I shivered and looked away. A Poison Touch was deadly, and If you injured them, their blood was acid. They could kill you with a brush of skin. 

Quickly and quietly…

Or slowly, and in agony. 

I drew my attention back to Kytor, who was briefing the others. “...the swords had their war gods engraved on the hilts. It makes sense for them to be invader weapons.” Suddenly the tent was filled with voices.

“Where is the storehouse?”

“Can we be sure it’s not a trap?”

“Who found the weapons?”

“Who will lead the attack?”

“How many guards?”

Kytor raised his hand, and the voices died down. “The storehouse is in the slums of The Split. I will personally lead the attack, although there don’t seem to be many guards. Akira and Johan found the weapons, hidden in bags of food. They will join the attack, as well as five others.”

I grinned, hoping to do some damage in the raid. The invaders were going to have no idea what hit them.

Kytor started listing off the names of those who would join the attack. I was only half listening, but I looked up when I heard Kytor call the Poison Touch. 

“…Lyra, and Guyan, who you may recognize as our Poison Touch.”

Guyan didn’t grin, or seem surprised at all that he had been chosen. He just pulled out a knife and started sharpening it.

Poison Touches made me nervous. 

Kytor dismissed the meeting and I lifted off the ground, gliding a short stretch to my tent on the edge of the camp. It was actually standing on its own, with no other tents within a small radius.

Some people thought at first that it was because I was unfriendly, which I could be sometimes, or because I was a hermit. In reality, it was just so that I could take off without knocking over a row of tents.

Besides, I preferred it this way. Not necessarily alone, but on the edges, looking in. 

After all, I couldn’t get stabbed in the back if there was nobody behind me.

[aquadestinyswriting]

Happy STS! I hope your week has been good! :) if you could grant three wishes to your OCs, who would get them and what would they wish for? (You can give all wishes to one OC or spread them out!)

Thanks very much for the ask, and happy STS to you too :). Placing my answer under a cut because the answer is going to get quite long.

Oooh, this is tough, I have a lot of OCs, and there are 4 I'd consider 'Main Cast'; so either Yoruk or Edwin are giving up their wishes...

Selene: She'd definitely use her wish to get Alexis back for a day, just so she could properly apologise for the way the former treated the latter at the end of @druidx's work 'Alexis and Elowyn Take a Walk in the Woods'. It's either that, or wish that Ivan would get his ass back to Toreguarde to pay off his bar tab at the Plothook.

Meredith: This is a hard one since Merri's life is already pretty set by the end of the Destiny's New Servants campaign (and it'll be another 600-odd years before anything new really hits the fan for her). She may well wish for her friends to lead long, happy and relatively uneventful lives. They've all been through a lot and she thinks they deserve to just have a peaceful life, for however long that is in the case of those who aren't dwarves, elves, dragons or druids.

So, now to decide between Edwin and Yoruk... I think Edwin will get to keep his wish in this case because Yoruk would want to use his for Merri and I already know Merri wouldn't let him :p .

Edwin: I think Edwin would probably use his wish to have an opportunity to have all his adventuring family get together for a day. The family shrunk so much before the ending of the Destiny's New Servants campaign, and (depending on when the wish was made after that point) Edwin would want the new people in his life to meet those legends that helped pave the way for their brighter future since (Fai might be a bit problematic though... half his soul is stuck as a vampire and, if the wish isn't worded carefully enough, Archon Vaul is gonna show up as well. At a party where there are several people who would want to Smite, Flamestrike and Fireball him out of existence).

Thanks again for the ask.
