Caspian Is Enjoying Herself In This Game

"Darling!"

"...darling?"

Slight delay on the next chapter because I've been spending time with family - but it should be ready within the next five days!

I did find time to refine the structure of the upcoming chapters enough to confidently state we are about halfway through in terms of chapter count, however - meaning it should end at around chapter 16 (which is the same as more graves to dig, funnily enough. I guess that's the kind of story length I just gravitate towards?)

i love counterspell. "i cast fireball!" no you dont

act 2 with a high charisma tav

Shadowheart canonically beating up transphobes is an easily-missed yet iconic piece of her characterisation

Chapter 2 is out!!

I'm up to 10,000 words already, great start. It's gonna be so fucking long, isn't it?

And we’re off! Next story is up on AO3, and updates should come at least once every ten days as with previous (I just realised I’m working off a tenday-based schedule, this was not intentional), and I will try to post here in case of a delay.

writing is so fun

Was trying to test something and failed hilariously miserably 😂

Reactions to Mystra’s Orders for Gale

The companions: Mystra is selfish, petty, and incorrect in her assessment of Gale’s worth. Unbelievable. Poor Gale :(

Tara: I WILL HUNT DOWN EACH AND EVERY GOD FOR SPORT

Character Designs For Wings Outstretched - Part 3

First one here!

Second one here!

This (final!) part is for Priqrin, introduced in chapter 5.

No mods used this time, it's all base game stuff including dyes. I love love love the way dragonborns look in this game, I could spend the whole day just creating different dragonborns and then just staring at them. (Someone ask my about my other Tav, Eats Chairs, sometime - I want an excuse to show pictures of her she looks great.)

Priqrin -

We haven't been over his backstory much yet, but he's a draconic sorcerer (white) on top of being a dragonborn, so he's the most dragon someone can be without being an actual dragon. His main class is wizard though, because he preferred to learn magic through researching and understanding it rather than relying on instinct, like a total scholar nerd - though his wizard robes are still in black and white, to honor that draconic heritage.

I also gave him a tail, just to enhance that dragon connection. He's very proud of being so dragon-like, and having multiple types of dragon in his blood.

So his colouration is black, and then, uh, black again (the white ones didn't look right, so I used a black one that had a border of white - it counts as white, okay? I mean Rilice doesn't even use green for her scales, she's got a variation of silver because it looked better, it's fine, no-one's scales are actually using the colour they're meant to be, it's fine!) There's a hint of red there, too, around the back of his head flaps which I think looks nice and cute and sinister.

His surname he uses briefly was just from me getting the Draconic words for black and white from the fan wiki and then smooshing them together - but that's mostly because I don't think he actually has a surname in an official capacity either, he's just used to people expecting to hear them, so he throws that in now. (But then Wyll introduced him and Turmeric by first name only, because he's a sweet boy who realised she might feel awkward being the only one without, so Priqrin just had to be like, "oh, okay, I guess I'm the weird one here.")

Not that much else to say about him, because we haven't learned all that much about him yet. I'm sure I'll think of more to add when the story unfolds a little more, but, at the very least, there are no more people to introduce from now on! Our cast (the original characters at least) are all here now!
