SOMETHING WILL GO HERE

If you’re so attached to the idea of a nest, do go ahead and pick a coffin and make your own.

[tactic]

... Most of the appeal was you being the one to have made it.

[ oop ]

[haematocritical]

[ just gives him A Look ]

[tactic]

You are very unlike your two companions, Mr. Astarion.

[haematocritical]

Really? I hadn’t noticed.

[ he’s a bitch, that’s the difference ]

[tactic]

[ Laughs... He likes all the Baldurses. ]

Well, if you aren't sleeping in a coffin, I take it you're sleeping elsewhere?

[haematocritical]

Next to them. Although I have heard the barn is fairly roomy.

[ he's going to barge in there and he can't be stopped. ]

[tactic]

Yeah, if you don't mind all the rats.

[ Are you a rat liker. ]

[haematocritical]

[ ... ]

I have dealt with worse than rats.

[tactic]

Right. The hags, the undead, and tentacles!

[haematocritical]

[ he’s quiet for a moment. ]

… The undead are possibly the more annoying of those, given you never know if a cemetery is just a cemetery or everyone is going to pop up and say hello without warning.

Hags, though… we certainly did meet a rather nasty one.

[tactic]

Our cemetery seems peaceful enough...

[ UNLESS? ]

Oh? Karlach mentioned the hags but she didn't go into too much detail about them.

[haematocritical]

For now.

[ not even ominous just a calm 'no, no. give it time.' ]

Just the one. She was positively deranged, it was delightful.

[tactic]

You and Karlach either had very different experiences, or I've just learned something about you.

[haematocritical]

Oh, she was an absolute headache to deal with. Violent, nasty little creature.

[ i can't even front, the hag part of act 1 is fun ]

But did Karlach tell you she was parading around as a bizarre old lady in a tiefling camp until we barged into her business? Blatant audacity. No one even realised, they just kept telling us to go see sweet old Auntie Ethel for healing supplies.

[tactic]

[ He's becoming obsessed with these stories... You Baldurs are living incredible lives. ]

Is that when you tried to stab her?

[haematocritical]

[ bg3 is a game. ]

No, we didn't know she was a hag then. We only tried to stab her later.

[tactic]

And look at you all now. Good friends.

[haematocritical]

Oh, the hag’s dead.

[ happy happy happy doodoo doodoo doo doo ]

But I suppose taking down a hag together is a bonding experience. Very fulfilling.

[tactic]

You've got a little soft spot in you too.

[ Observes. ]

[haematocritical]

Teamwork makes the dream work.

[tactic]

And what's the dream?

[haematocritical]

[ yuul not being tutorial because i want more cr ]

Not dying horribly to a miserable little mind control cult, and not morphing into a monstrosity along the way?

[tactic]

[ YOU NEED TO LET ME GO ]

Is morphing into a monstrosity a common occurrence where you're from?

[haematocritical]

[ tch. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOUR WEEK OF MG CHAOS ]

Not enough to be common, but not impossible.
