I think it's something Abdirak would choose to do anyway, to keep the suffering of the living, but knowing that someone was suffering specifically because of him would give him more peace, going to his grave. In a way, he would still be giving offering even though he was gone.

Day 16 of #bg3kinktober and it's time for monsterfucking! Val'dran isn't entirely sure what he's agreed to join in on with these tentacles... but if Sorn insists it's safe and fun, then... surely he knows what he's talking about?

No. Val'dran's world *is* his very few people. His lovers, his work, that's all that matters to him in truth. If the world will burn for his refusal to sacrifice them, then burn it will.

Even if they will all burn with it.

No one has ever claimed him well adjusted.

Eye contact! 🦑💕🦑

(My illithids can't have physical sex as they have nothing going on down there, but eye contact makes their dreams, illusions, hallucinations, whatever - that much more potent.

... Moss also really likes just... being held.
Most vanilla tentacle 'sex' ever, lol.)

- no world, no suffering for Loviatar. Even if Elorin highly suspected that wouldn't be the only reason. It had to be Abdirak's choice though, and Elorin knows he would make it.

Elorin would carry that pain in his heart for the rest of his life, as his way of honouring his lost love. (2/2)

#TavQotD #ElorinPosting Would your Tav sacrifice their if doing so was necessary to save the world?

Yes, because he knows that's what Abdirak would want - it might be a different story if not. It would still be the hardest thing Elorin ever had to do, but he would respect Abdirak's faith - (1/2)

Wanted to try my hand at asking a #TavQotD, so:

Would your Tav/Durge sacrifice their love interest (or the person they care about most) if doing so was necessary to save the world?

A quote from the movie "The Mummy": "When one is dealing with the salvation of humanity, certain sacrifices must be made."

She's just… sort of lost, lonely, restless.
Letting every pretense fall away is really only ever something comfortable to Ayumu in the company of her partners.
Fully alone with her thoughts and without a task to fixate on, she's instead pulled further into her own mind’s internal spirals.

Post your Tav/Durge and answer questions about them in character!

Darius is sat with an open book in his lap, but is busy braiding his dual-coloured, ass-long hair instead when he looks up.
"Hm?"
