Clive was on the other side of the cave when this happened so I just picture him swiveling his head around like "what? what happened?"

"Nothing, darling!" as Astarion just tries to shove the body behind a rock.

"If you got hungry you can just say so."

"I was just TRYing to LOOT."

Down in Ethel's lair on my Durge run. Wait, can you save the masked folks if you knock them out and remove the masks?

Astarion removes one. NPC instantly dies.

"I didn't do it, I swear!"

YEAH like my first Tav got into trouble on the romance front because they're sarcastic and some of those lines were apparently supposed to be flirts. My Durge is just a golden retriever post-memory-loss and likes friendly affection.

Astarion WOULD be the one to understand this, wouldn't he? (Also LOL at the dismembered clown puzzle. At least they didn't make us slot all the pieces back together I guess.) I also love how the whole fandom seems to agree this man is a cat.

Ahaha my Durge got caught by the belly rubs line too. It was an innocent question, Gale! Not a come-on! 😂

I regret to say that pretty much every approval level for Kes is going to be "shit, sorry, were you talking to me?" 😂

I did give them a bit higher INT than the default druid stats but if they're not actively engaged in conversation they are probably distracted with something.

Me: "Oh I'll just do a silly little one-off for funsies."
My brain: "So we're going to hold you to high enough standards that you need to treat it like you're writing a whole book. You know how to do that, right?"

(I do not.)

*distressed bird noises* 🤣 (I'm having fun I SWEAR)

Part of this is your fault, you know. 😂 Made such a delightful little world to play in with its own rich lore and everything.

Called my allergist's office to touch base because I'm still down sick and can't come in for my allergy shots.

It's. It's been an entire month. Since I was last in. 😐

This is gonna set back my progress again.

Lyr @lyraksylva.bsky.social · 19h

Kes has pretty good survival skills regardless of location.

Clive on the other hand... uh... well let's just say this run I had to use my revivify scrolls for the first time on 3 out of 4 party members because he walked into the wrong mushroom too close to a cliff. (Karlach was unharmed.)

#tavqotd If your tav/durge were stuck in the wilderness of the Underdark on their own, how would they survive?

I'm glad we all feel very normal about the phase spider battle. 😂

Incidentally I DO have a lot of stray OCs who don't even have stories AT ALL yet (or that I've tried to put in stories and it turns out that didn't work and I have to start over dlkjhglsfd)

Lyr @lyraksylva.bsky.social · 19h

(me holding back a door to a room overflowing with gryfons) Is it better or worse when it's not even something you intend to publish just some fannish nonsense tied to somebody else's work? Asking for a friend? (one slips out and starts running down the street) I'M JUST HOLDING THESE FOR A FRIEND.

Seen a few posts about the Wavemother robe this morning and, well, I don't have my Tav in it. But I DO have Minsc.

Absolutely ghoulish move by the USDA. Shame on them.

Catherine Rampell @crampell.bsky.social · 1d

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

After the adventure of course they have to stick to still water, since without the tadpole Astarion is no longer protected from the effects of natural streams. Thankfully since night was usually downtime in camp, they don't mind too much when they have to stick to the night.

Lyr @lyraksylva.bsky.social · 1d

Kes loves to be near the water, and several of the campsites are near running water sources, so I think a lot of the time they slip off far enough up or downstream so the rest of the party can't hear to enjoy time with Astarion.

I like to think at least once they found a nice hot spring.

There's not much to do for a date while out on an adventure.

What's something they do with their love interest away from camp that's special just for them?

Mal loves quiet, dark places. He'll sneak Astarion off to the gloomiest place he can find to sit and talk, or cuddle and read.

I feel like the key here is don't lose hope but also don't shame yourself if you haven't been able to make it work! There are a lot of folks with the false impression that selling your art is easy or only takes being good at the art but it's also marketing and a lot of other stuff!

Today, however, I managed to walk in right when his newly remastered Dragon Quest game had a long cutscene he couldn't pause that was brand new content for the remaster so he didn't want to miss it.

It is inevitable.

Pause buttons I beg you.

Lyr @lyraksylva.bsky.social · 1d

Usually it's my partner walking in and wanting to chat right when I hit one (BG3 and both recent Zelda games - though at least with Zelda I guess you could rewatch them from the menu which is a sort of ok compromise but. They are soso long and sometimes I only missed one important bit.)

Lyr @lyraksylva.bsky.social · 1d

Game devs I am begging you to let us pause cutscenes. I swear there is some cardinal rule of the universe that you will either get an important can't-miss-it phone call or someone in the house will need to talk to you as soon as a cutscene happens in a game.

Of course the added problem with these mid level farms is sometimes the people do end up inadvertently voting against their own interests on account of being overworked and tired and believing the lies they're fed and it can be hard to change course.
