[incorrect-bhaalspawn-quotes]

Lae’zel, looming menacingly over Zorru: Tell us where the crèche is and we’ll burn this grove to the ground!

Tav: Uh, don’t you mean ‘or?’

Lae’zel: *annoyed sigh* Tell us where the crèche is OR we’ll burn this grove to the ground.

So I was a writing madwoman today and put out TWO short fics.

The first is The Misadventures of Rolan the Quick (explicit, registered users only so you'll need to be logged in). It's a multi-chapter sequel to A Night to Forget. If Rolan having bad sex throughout Baldur's Gate is your jam, check it out!

The second is something there is no demand for and no one asked for, but damn it I wrote it anyway. It's One-Time Thing, a short little teen-rated Rolan/Cerys (yes, you heard me) fic.

Go forth and read!

Tiefling refugees idle dialogue - Cerys, Zorru, Bex, and Danis in the Rivington refugee camp in Act 3

Dialogues beneath the cut

---

Cerys: Zorru! You made it here all on your own?

Zorru: It was touch and go. Some close calls - the cult have claimed every road between Baldur's Gate and Elturgard.

Zorru: But from what you tell me, I had it easy compared to the rest of you.

---

Bex: We've lost so many since Elturel.

Zorru: We should have an Exiles Feast to commemorate those we lost.

Danis: Supplies are short, but I can scrape enough together for everyone to have a bite of something solid.

Zorru: Even if we only have tankards of river-water to raise, we'll drink to their memory.

---

Zorru: I've heard Alfira made her way into the city.

Cerys: Bards can talk their way out of trouble as well as into it.

Bex: She sent a message - she's at the Elfsong Tavern. Hopefully making herself comfortable.

Zorru: Glad at least one of us is doing well.

---

Zorru: So many more could have survived, if we - if I - had done the right things.

Danis: Don't take that on yourself. You know who's really responsible.

Bex: You did what you could, Zor. I'm sure you did.

Lae'zel appreciating Faerun but trying to convince herself she doesn't see any beauty in it those few nights despite clearly feeling something, otherwise she wouldn't have been so poetic when describing how the evening felt.

#bat plays bg3 #she is soooooo good like #there is so much about lae'zel i love #and she was so soft at points even from the start #like she comes off as gruff but like #the gentle eagerness when she urges PC to go find Zorru #the roundness of her eyes as she gazes at the sky #the way she describes selune's tears is in a very similar way to how she describes faerun in that cutscene

[forcedhesitation]

I MISSED THIS ENTIRELY MY FIRST TIME AROUND....THIS IS SO DAMN PRECIOUS?!!

#bg3 spoilers #thoughts about media #this is so sweet. corydalis would cherish this present to the end of his days. #so nice of mirkon to say we killed the harpies in one blow! #we did not. #I couldn't long rest and reset corydalis' empty spell slots because the scene was glitching and the kid would spawn dead. #so i had to forgo the long rest and just fight them. #and then astarion and karlach kept getting lured by the harpy song! #lae'zel was the only one getting anything done! #and she sure as fuck didn't even want to be there!! i brought her to try and boost her approval... #but it's like. stuck at 6 or something equally abysmal because I keep pissing her off by being too nice. #I didn't realise there was an interaction between her and a tiefling in the grove in my first playthrough...she hated me more after that. #GIRL I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE ZORRU BOW FOR YOU! #like corydalis is a tiefling himself! be real lae'zel! #being nice to zorru got us the information we needed anyways... #astarion for whatever reason didn't complain even though i'm pretty sure being too nice in this interaction is supposed to annoy him. #i'm literally LOOKING for interactions to gain his disapproval!!!!! #BECAUSE HIS APPROVAL WON'T GO DOWN!!!!!!!!! #please my dearest I would like to NOT trigger your first romance scene too soon. #honestly if i could romance him without suffering through that again I would be thrilled. but it is not possible. #REALISTICALLY corydalis wouldn't even fall for his lying. he's ten times better a liar than astarion could ever hope to be. #and he's also extremely kind and caring! there's noooo WAY he'd let astarion's evasiveness slide unmentioned. #BUT ALAS. the game only permits you to avoid this TORMENTUOUS experience if you are playing karlach. #goblin camp is next though. I'm SURE I can earn disapproval there with him. #he may be allergic to disagreeing with my tiefling but this is still act 1 astarion! he is a bitter HATER with no healthy outlet. #I just have to like. oh I don't know. offer to help some random npc and ask for nothing in return.

Highlights from Rakha's further explorations in the tiefling camp:

She terrifies the group of small children trying to train for battle when the trainer asks her to encourage them. "Soak the battlefield in blood. Do not resist death, but embrace it!" The trainer is unimpressed by this: "Good job. Now they're even more scared." Rakha doesn't see why that's her problem.

The super inept fellow striking at a nearby training dummy has a slight panic attack on seeing Rakha's face; apparently he's not too familiar with orcish folk. Rakha is pretty fucking angry about this (especially in light of Aradin's 'half-breed' comment); she doesn't care about her own heritage but she knows what an insult is and is starting to realize that from some people she garners them just by existing. There is no option to punch him in the face, which she totally wants to do (and more, and more, spill his blood all over the training floor) but I suspect Wyll probably steps in instead and starts helping him, so she contents herself with sarcasm from the sidelines. "Try hitting the target."

She chats with Bex and Danis, who ask about her plans after reaching Baldur's Gate. "How can you make plans? I can't remember what I ate for breakfast," Rakha says. Bex, excited for their new life ahead, encourages optimism. The Narrator purrs in Rakha's head: "Surely destined for the slaughter. What would be more perfect than to die by your love's side, and know love was not enough?"

Okta, the woman at a giant cauldron on the camp's lower level, offers Rakha a bowl of gruel for having helped them fight the goblins off. The scent of the food triggers something strange in Rakha's head - memory. "Grey goo. I think I ate things like this in the past. When I was desperate." No image comes along with the thought, but the scent is familiar and goes along with a feeling of bewildered loneliness. She half-expects the woman to take it as an insult, but strangely, she doesn't, just offers the bowl more firmly and asks if Rakha has had similar hard times. Rakha feels tremendously perplexed and has no answer to offer, but she suspects the answer is yes.

INCREDIBLY unexpected little interchange: Another old woman near Okta - human, not tiefling - is selling potions. Ethel has a Durge-specific response to how tore-up-from-the-floor-up Rakha looks: "Oh! You're twitching something fierce, love. And your eyes! You look like you don't know the meaning of the word sleep." True enough. Rakha's two long rests have been scattered and fitful at best. This attention to her well-being from this stranger startles Rakha enough to admit: "I've had such a pounding headache recently." The woman of course has more questions, and slowly, Ethel manages to draw out from Rakha all the salient facts: she has no memory, she has intrusive thoughts, she sleeps with dreams of blood and slaughter. Ethel tuts and offers crooning words of sympathy and concern along with a healing potion. "Were you hurt recently?" she asks. Rakha shrugs sharply. "All I know is that right now, I'm imagining drowning you in the boiling stew over there." Her companions, who have never heard Rakha speak so candidly, all look at each other in bewilderment. Ethel laughs. "Oh, you cheeky pup," she says, and pokes Rakha playfully in the arm. "That might scare someone else, but I know what naughty girls need - a bitta love and care. If I was back at my teahouse, I'd make you a cuppa and tell you to put your feet up. Alas, here I can only tell you to be kind to yourself, petal. And encourage you to browse my bits and pieces, of course. Let me know if anything catches your eye." She chuckles and gives Rakha a wink. "Myself included." Rakha stares blankly at her. Any subtext is pretty much lost on her, but the strange kindness completely undeterred by the knowledge of Rakha's violent cruelty is... perplexing. "Thank you. For being nice to me," she hears herself say gruffly. "Sure! What else am I here for?" Ethel says airily.

-----

"Well," Gale says cheerfully as they wander away. "That was a refreshing bit of kindness in this little wilderness waystation, was it not?"

"Chk," mutters Lae'zel. "Platitudes and insipid benevolence are no solution; they merely invite carelessness." She squints at Rakha. "Do not be taken in; our business has not changed. We have no time for such prattle, or a visit to this 'tea-house.' Let us find Zorru and be gone from this place."

Rakha shrugs and says nothing. No doubt Lae'zel is right; it was a wasted conversation.

'Be kind to yourself' - what does that even mean? The words rattle in her head like scattered caltrops, stinging, painful for some reason she can't define. There is no kindness to be had in her, not for other people and certainly not for herself - nor does she wish it.

She wants vengeance and she wants answers. And she agrees with Lae'zel - this strange old woman can provide no answers; certainly not the ones she needs.

So why did Rakha thank her? Why did she even listen at all?

#bjk plays bg3 durge #rakha the dark urge #well that was unexpected #this was going to be a much shorter post before going to talk to zorru but then that conversation with ethel happened :P

[haldanare]

say hello to my little tav! need to get some better screengrabs but im really pleased with how they look. Eirian, ranger, criminal, semi recent escapee from the underdark i think - i havent quite build up their backstory yet. im thinking to romance Astarion or Shadowheart but we'll see how the approval turns out.

#bg3 tav #drow #they're lolth sworn but looking back maybe i should have chosen the other one #oh well #im trying to go for a chaotic neutral /good playthrough vibe #but i have a hard time being mean in viddy games #well see #i accidentally let lea'zel be really mean to zorru #whoops #tav #lau posts #the nolo track tag #bg3 #bg3 oc

[grey-wardens]

wanted to see what happens if lae'zel dies on the nautiloid (meaning she fails all her death saving throws, isn't just downed)

#she washes up on the beach just past shadowheart and you have to revive her with a scroll #but i'm avoiding zorru and all the options to ask people about a healer like the plague #because that seems to lock out some of the early long rest scenes? correct me if i'm wrong though!

Some screenshots of Sahed from last night that would make Ansur proud, I'm sure.

#bg3 #dragon #durge #my durge #sahed #why's he gotta look so dang good #That first one is from Lae'zel telling him she wants to bone #honestly though same girl #even if he's been cruel and cold #he at least thought it was cool when she was the same when interrogating Zorru #also why do dragonborns not have shirts #not complaining just curious

Zorru: B-by Mordai's eyes, another one. My f-friend's blood not enough? Come to rip me open, too? Lae'zel: In Crèche K'liir, a formal greeting begins with a bow. Zorru: Is this m-monster with you? Kyvir: Yes. And I suggest you do as she says. Zorru: [bows] Lae'zel: Lower. Kyvir: She's serious. You'd better get on your knees. Fast. Zorru: [kneels] Lae'zel: You saw another gith. Where? Zorru: On the road to Baldur's Gate, near the mountain p-pass. Saw us 'fore we s-saw it. Jammed its b-b-blade through Yul's belly, straight to the other side. Lae'zel: No twisting? Kin must have been in a hurry. The map. Show me. [Zorru shows her] Up. You can keep your innards.

Wyll's POV during this interaction is just "The worst people you know are ganging up on a guy who just watched his friend die." I'm amazed he doesn't disapprove of this.

A part of me wants to grumble about Zorru being rude and calling Lae'zel a monster, but. honestly under the circumstances I can't entirely blame him. Lae'zel and Kyvir are just here playing "bad cop, slightly less aggressively bad cop who's having way too much fun with this" and I feel very bad for poor Zorru. I think he's also one of the tieflings who always dies no matter what, so in the last days of his life he's dealing with this shit.

I never actually posted Jeshya, did I

I have only been playing her very intermittently because I am ALLEGEDLY trying to take a break from this game, so I do not...quite have her deal pinned down yet; the favored enemy selection for rangers required me to slap together an extremely basic backstory for Swift before I started (which then quite unexpectedly had a huge impact on all of my decisions in Act 1 in a twist that is extremely funny to me only) but monks don't really have anything like that so I just have the guild artisan background and like, basic dragonborn lore to go on. Generally the idea is to play a character with a totally different (though not necessarily opposing) set of values than Swift because what is the point of replaying if you're just going to make all the same choices. It has been two long rests and she and Lae'zel have already fucked so I guess I am succeeding.

#Martin plays BG3 #Swift did come around on Lae'zel but they super got off on the wrong foot #However I think she rules so I am giving myself severe whiplash by playing her romance immediately after Gale's #I do not generally want to come into the game with a predetermined idea of what romance I'm going with (though since I'm trying not to #repeat them some degree of thought is inevitable now that my first run is over) but I did mostly decide on this in advance #btw I think I have figured out why I got her 'respect' line SO fast and it's a combination of a) addressing something in her personal quest #much faster than I got to it with Swift and b) not trying to stop her from being a total dick to Zorru for no reason #The More You Know. I guess #I still don't know how I got a completely different set of first-long-rest dialogues from everyone this time but whatever #Keeps me on my toes
