Continuing with more @critical_role art, because it's where I'm trying to push my (art)limits lately. At the warcry of "dagger, dagger, dagger" comes flying fully vestige'd Vax, half-elf rogue voiced by the amazing talent of @voiceofobrien. #criticalrole #criticalroleart #criticalrolefanart #voxmachina #thelegendofvoxmachina #vax #vaxildan #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #rogue #halfelf #pitfiend #tabletoprpg #rpg #daggerdaggerdagger #fanart #art #digitalart #artistoninstagram #wacom #clipstudiopaint #fandogamia #manueltorres https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfmdl6tqHw8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Bhaalspawn, a Dark Justiciar, a Vampire and a Drow walk into a circus. None of them is a vicious murderer of course.

I was enjoying Minthara's updated endgame kiss. Ascended Astarion... was not.

Astarion: The beast you turn into... as charming as it is... Astarion: Just make sure those claws don't come anywhere near me. Kyvir: I promise I can control it... Astarion: Oh don't bother, not on my account, anyway. Let it roam free. You make quite the pretty pitfiend.

This? He's into this? I mean, you do you and all, but the Slayer is neither safe nor sane. Astarion is operating on an entirely new level of "in love with your carnage" at this point. Also I uh. think he may come to regret the whole "Oh please don't control it, let it roam free" thing later...

Also "You make quite the pretty pitfiend" is a hell of a compliment. I assume I'm having this conversation with him because I romanced him (no one else has brought up the abomination in the room), but it's still like. even with Astarion I expected fewer compliments and more screaming, honestly.

I love how intricate your au is! How did Asto escape in your au?

To know that, you've got to understand a little bit of Nightmare's backstory.

Nightmare is an agent of Hell. He's a devil, for lack of a better word. He wasn't initially, but he was taken from his parents by a particularly cruel pitfiend that had a penchant for collecting children with potential and turning them into his personal instruments of war for his personal gain. In most of the AUs, Nightmare's father Rue and his mother Lady (a pure-blood dragon, so that's a whole new level of tragedy for me) are dead (there actually exists a few where they are alive because Nightmare can dimension-hop as a powerful mage but in his, they are dead and gone.) The pitfiend that kidnappend him, Ahriman, 'raised' him... if raising him is what you can call it.

Long story short, Nightmare fucking despises Ahriman. After escaping Hell, be believed his younger 'siblings' that he'd grown to care for and love and raised himself (albeit terribly) were dead, and so he refused to return until he could fucking kill Ahriman. He did, however, dedicate himself to power, no matter what the cost.

Ahriman is a powerful force in Hell, and he's working his way up the ranks. Nightmare is considered a 'prince' being his 'son.' However, Nightmare wanted him dead. At any cost.

Cazador's little deal with the hells stood to make Ahriman gain. If he went through with it, Ahriman would have once again ascended in power, making him even more difficult to take down. If you know anything about certain pitfiends, they're already a fuckin' bitch. Ahriman is a special pitfiend that his working his way up. That is bad news. For everyone. Especially Nightmare.

Nightmare went to Baldur's Gate to sniff around some rumors he'd heard from some contacts in hell, and he knew to start at bars and taverns when dealing with vampires. He knew someone was cooking up something that had to do with them where someone he very much despised stood to gain from it. He wanted to interrupt it and turn the tables at any cost.

He ran into Asto by a very fortunate accident.

Asto fully intended to bring him back to Cazador as a pretty prize, but Nightmare, the learned prick, he of course already knew Asto was a vampire. Nightmare was also a very powerful force in his own right. The two were at a standoff, with Astarion panicking that he'd failed his ruse and been discovered, and Nightmare needing the information that Astarion had.

What Nightmare wasn't counting on was Astarion's utter hatred of Cazador, and his willingness to do anything to get out.

He also wasn't counting on enjoying Astarion's company as much as he did. He genuinely liked the guy.

They drank together for a bit, and Nightmare asked him what he would be willing to do to be free from Cazador; to see him dead.

Asto said anything.

Upon inspecting the runes on his back and piecing together the information he already had, Nightmare was able to understand what was about to take place. A vampiric ascension with an unprecedented amount of souls on the line. An amount of souls that would make someone very powerful. His father, that son of a bitch Ahriman.

He couldn't abide that.

Nightmare asked Astarion to trust him. Astarion didn't, but ultimately, he'd rather die at Nightmare's hands than ever end up back under Cazador. They ended up getting a bit drunk together that night, and frankly, they bonded.

Nightmare is a narcissist, and he saw himself in Astarion. He liked him. A lot.

After some drunken shenanigans, Astarion put his faith in this strange devil.

So, to not bore you with the details of what happened: Asto led Nightmare back to Cazador as an offering. Nightmare, already prepared for whatever tricks Cazador had in mind, was able to get the upper hand.

It wasn't necessarily an easy battle, but by the end of it, Cazador was dead, and the ritual was interrupted--

Except Asto wanted it. He wanted to ascend instead, similar to how he does in canon.

Nightmare made a deal with him. Give him one year to figure something out. Ascending would cause Nightmare some serious problems if he were to sacrifice the souls to who he intended to. He asked for Astarion's trust one more time. He's a devil, and he could figure out a way to give Astarion what he wants. He just needed time.

Frankly, there wasn't anything left in the city for Astarion. Just rotten memories and pain. Nightmare offered him a place on his ship in the meantime. You know, to make sure he held up his end of the bargain (and definitely not just because he enjoyed his company and he'd been alone for so long with no one but his crew that he was going mad.) Asto accepted, because what else could he do? He wasn't about to watch his chance at ascension slip into the sunset and risk Nightmare not coming back, and frankly, he knew whoever was waiting for those souls was going to be furious and come looking for answers. He didn't want to be there when they did, since he was technically an accessory in foiling the plot.

Nightmare was good on his word. He was able to find another way to ascend where Nightmare gained from it instead. Astarion became an ascended vampire, but was able to his soul, because frankly, Nightmare liked him as he was. Nightmare could have technically taken his soul, but he didn't want to. Sure, he lost some power from it, but he fully intended on gaining it back through other means-- and he did. It was a small sacrifice to make for his best friend.

Astarion was able to walk in the sun and gained most all the powers of a true ascended vampire. More than that, he wasn't alone for the first time in aeons.

He could have left at that point, but he didn't. He chose to stay by Nightmare's side as his first mate, and they've been brothers ever since. Astarion is arguably one of the only people Nightmare truly loves and cares about alongside Reaver and Ilya, and he was one of the first at his side.

Basically, Nightmare came sniffing about and Astarion was charming and handsome. Nightmare rubbed off on him a lot, taught him how to live, and about the finer pleasures in life. Taught him how to sail and pillage. Turned him towards Bane. Brought him into his inner circle. They ravaged the Sword Coast for years until Nightmare was ready o make a move on Hell. Loved and adored him. Reaver came along shortly after. And then Ilya. All of which were instrumental in Nightmare's revenge (and his wife Snakefang in another au, another ridiculous OC of mine.)

They've all been inseparable ever since.

Unless, of course, some pretty thing gets in-between them. Then it turns into a playful game of 'I own her more.'

Ultimately, they would never turn on each other. Their bond is too strong and they've been together for too long. But a little sporting competition?

Ah, that's never hurt anyone, has it?

(Except the poor girl caught in their tug-o-war.)

what is a warlock in this context and also what does the forehead tattoo mean

Thank you for askin, anon!

Warlock in this sense means that he is someone who formed a pact with a greater power, in this case, a Greater Devil (Pitfiend, specifically) named Baron Carmine, Wardern Ameliorate of Malbolge. In truth, his Patron is practically an underpaid assistant manager at Hell Inc.

The forehead tattoo is the symbol of his gang that he was formerly a part of. The bottom part represents the anchor, doomed to drag us all down to death. The dot above represents the Orphan themselves, without anyone. The gang is called the Doomed Orphans, so -- ta da!

I could see that too, but I can also see the season cliffhanger be Raishan leaving them trapped and fucked up in the lair? 1-3 marquet shenanigans, ripley, percy dies. 4-6 resurrection ritual, no draconia Vorugal attacks Whitestone instead, Percy and Vex canon. 7-9 insert Terrah ep? To get that earth elemental form, Dawnmartyr armor with diff pitfiend battle. 10-12 army organizing and pre-battle mansion shenanigans, Thordak fight, Raishan flees. Could be completely off but it's fun to speculate

Oh yeah that version makes a lot of sense

In a version where they did the Chroma Conclave in one season I wonder if they would open with Vorugal, then go into Ripley— breaking up the dragon fights. I could see them perhaps doing that even if they leave Raishan for next season, so it’s not constant dragon fights. Like your version but Vorugal and Ripley swapped. Percy realised Ripley is still alive and then they go into that arc. Plus it means that Vaxleth could become canon before Perc’ahlia like the show.

But!!! I think there’s going to be more changes than we know at the moment,

A part of me was wondering if they push Ripley post chroma conclave so Perc’ahlia is properly slowburn but that would really fuck with Scanlan leaving so I am very doubtful.

Mirrored approach: "tiefling" warlock w/celstial patron who's really a high-ranked fiend trying to redeem themself. gor bonus points, work out a backslide mechanic where they reach back into the pitfiend bag of tricks for short-term powers,while incurring deeper long-term penalties (penances, really).

oh fantastic concept
