[ watches gale have his own little tantrum because astarion brought up his ex. ]
Oh.
No, the Thorms just died. [ he makes a little popping motion with his hand. ] One by one. Nasty little creatures, honestly. You know, I did wonder if that Kate girl was also shadow cursed, but she seems far more in control of her facilities for that to be the case.
Oh. Yeah, we had to fight most of them, except the drinking guy. I outdrank him.
[did you know that if you're a barbarian and you pass a saving throw chugging the drink three times in a row, your companions think it's the funniest thing in the world and approve. anyway. that's not the point.
she folds her arms, tail swishing back and forth in agitation. she is (alli voice) realizing that she's with the two party members who would eat a tadpole without a persuasion roll and is getting tired already.]
Look. I'm not your Mum, either of you, but trusting some shitty deal to give you powers without consequences that will fuck your life over twofold is stupid.
[she is sensitive about devil deals ok
and then:]
... Well, all three of us are different, at least.
[ can he fuck over his life any worse right now? just asking. he doesn't say it, but you know.
exploded. also maybe now is not the time to admit he did chow on some tadpoles, because listen. that power you get where you insta-kill someone with 1 or 2 hp left instead of having to waste a turn on them? the fucking best on tactician. ]
That we are. We also now have an advantage - if we are able to ascertain others who match one of our number, we will have a chance to present it as an option, instead of an entire leap of faith.
[ makes no comment icly or oocly if astarion inhaled a tadpole or not. keep guessing. ]
Ah, because without confirmation from us there's nothing binding there. That is a luxury some of the others here won't have.
There's always a chance there'll be something pulled to try and get us to find the other person whether we want to or not, given they want us all dead.
Yeah, yeah. I got the number of someone already who wanted me to tell them if I found their match, 'cause they don't want to do the power thing. The deal is if I find the other one, I tell them the first isn't interested.
Seems like a safe way to do it, for sure.
... But there is a chance we'll have to. I'm not putting that aside entirely.
