I actually quite hope Thaniel and Halsin were as far away from the tower as possible at the moment I remember. But as far as I'm aware, no, they did nothing to it.
I’m not sure I would call kidnapped by weirdo cultists “well”.
[ gazes. ]
Still, if these— [ he taps his temple ] aren’t kicking up a fuss, I suppose the Elder Brain doing its nut and overriding the Emperor’s protection isn’t on our list of things to worry ourselves into an untimely ulcer over.
... It is a step above being Netherese vapor, I think.
[ just saying. anyway. he scratches at his temple for a moment, like the reminder about the tadpole has made him feel like. itchy. aware of it. ]
I've felt no shifting of my internal organs or eruption of tentacles as of yet, so I think we have to simply believe that they are currently on hold. Still. Perhaps time here is at a standstill? There is certainly something odd going on there.
I suppose speaking of biological problems to be solved, do we need to solve any issue with your ... [ hand waggle. ] dietary needs? As I've said before, I really have no issue with providing assistance, however I do still contain the Orb and thus as such, have to simply assume it is still affecting my blood.
[ crossing his arms, perhaps a little defensively. ]
It was my decision in the end, and it made the most sense at the time. One life for the entire Sword Coast, and in the doing, the chance to earn my forgiveness for the wrongs I had committed. All three of the emissaries of the Dead Three were there, as was the Elder Brain. There would never be a better moment. I-- Can't picture how else I might have ever been more useful than in that moment.
I would have thought you might be relieved to be rid of me ... ? [ he's joking. mostly. ]
It's a waste either way. And Karlach would've bleated my bloody ear off if I didn't talk to you about it before you ran off with all that self-sacrificial aplomb.

I suppose I wouldn't know.
no subject
I was fairly sure we were past all that. Talked you out of it after all the mess at Moonrise.
no subject
I'm sorry, I'm really not sure I understand ... ?
no subject
Well, for now I suppose. It's still there.

Unless Halsin's little two-pronged nature friend did something to the tower, as far as I care to remember it's still standing.
no subject
Alright then. Perhaps just a misunderstanding.
no subject
I'm not entirely sure what there is misunderstand about everything that happened at the tower, but fine.
no subject
Fine.
no subject
It's clearly not.

pause on the blood sucking and lack of tentacles for a moment. ]
What are you talking about?
no subject
I'm afraid you'll need to be more specific ... ?
no subject
Why any of us would be "Netherese vapour".
no subject
well it probably does not help he looks immediately like an ashamed dog that was caught in the midst of doing something it should Not Have. ]
You wouldn't be. I made sure of that. No need to fret upon that possibility.
no subject
[ oop. ]
no subject
[ well, ]
Karlach's memory rather matches yours in this regard, yes.
no subject
...
Surely someone would've talked you down from detonating your magical bomb.

no subject
We'd ... had a conversation, about perhaps using the Absolute's power. But that was sitting rather oddly with me, you understand.
no subject
No, you very specifically talked my ear off about blowing yourself up in the name of Mystra and I told you to shut up and ignored you.
[ paraphrased, but y'know. ]
Does Karlach know you went and incinerated yourself?
no subject
We very specifically did not, but perhaps we will have to chalk that up to some differences between our perceptions of it.
[ nodding. ]
She does.
