EXPLOSION DE LA CRIMINOULITÉ EN FRANCE

*She's* looking, and so there is often still a mask. Beneath it is a balance of traits she deploys as needed— both her compassion and her ruthlessness, her sense of humor, her fear.

#TavQOTD Who is your tav/durge when no one's looking?

I wrote an excerpt from Ria's journal to figure that out
archiveofourown.org/works/567991...

(putting what I found down a reply in case you want to look for yourself before I just tell you)

#tavqotd How does your tav/durge react to a sudden startle?

Depending on the context, Ria would either jump and scream (possibly casting Shatter in the process) or to do her best squid impression. Er. Cast Darkness.

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

Musk is funding the legal battle of UK Far Right activist Tommy Robinson - real name Stephen Yaxley Lennon - as he faces charges brought by counterterrorism police.

Tommy Robinson claims Elon Musk is funding his legal battle — The Times and The Sunday Times

Tommy Robinson has claimed Elon Musk was paying his legal costs as he went on trial for refusing to comply with a request made by counterterrorism police as he tried to leave Britain last year. Robins...

good for him, honestly

Ria gestures at one sharply-pointed ear. "Everything I can get my hands on, although strings are my favorite. Can't say I ever took to drums."

Lily Rose @vesperderolo.bsky.social · 1d

"I would have thought he might have favored flute."

Lily Rose @vesperderolo.bsky.social · 1d

yeah, I think they and Ria would get along *very* well

this is extremely dangerous to everyone around them

Lily Rose @vesperderolo.bsky.social · 1d

#TavQotD Is your Tav a morning person?

On the one hand, Ria gets up at a reasonable hour every day. On the other, she goes to bed at the crack of dawn and only needs 4 hours of rest. So.... Uh. I think the jury is out, but I'm leaning no.

#TavQOTD Is your Durge immortal? Do they age like someone their race would?
I kinda like the idea of a Tolkien-style 'choose your lifespan' deal when Withers resurrects a resist!Durge. Echo chose to live until killed. Valencia chose a mortal lifespan.

North | BG3 Durge Era @skullprince.bsky.social · 2d

Actually, let me phrase that as a qotd!
#DurgeQOTD specifically

Is your Durge immortal?
Do they age like someone their race would?

Optionally, does aging effect how their Urges present?
Do they mellow out at some point?

#TavQOTD for visibility

WHO is this mentor?!

Her insight score doesn't hurt, either.

#TavQotD How does your Bard/Sorcerer/Warlock's charisma manifest?
Years of training honed Ria's strong personality to the point where she can walk through the world like it's a stage. Her charisma makes her a chameleon, changing roles as needed for the best results she can get.

A black-haired drow dressed in the potent robe, dyed dark blue, stares down at a kneeling Ketheric thorm with her brow furrowed.

Oh man the back of my brain Ria just did kitty cat murder eyes. How the fuck did Isabeau hone that skill?

Lily Rose @vesperderolo.bsky.social · 1d

"Where did you train in music?"

Lily Rose @vesperderolo.bsky.social · 1d

Ria's smile goes tight around the edges for just a moment. "Oh, nothing dramatic. Wear and tear from travel, a thin cloak, and rain. It was the last time I ever bought a cheap case, eye-watering as they can be."

Lily Rose @vesperderolo.bsky.social · 1d

"I've had this particular lyre for, oh... Fifty years or so? Its predecessor suffered a leaky case. Why the change from banjo to lute? Did you want something quieter?"

to the charisma-based characters
#TavQotD How does your Bard/Sorcerer/Warlock's charisma manifest? (Paladins and Swashbucklers, you too!)

eg: their way of speaking? their looks? how they carry themself? something entirely different?

"My dear, I don't bite. And it was this," she gestures to the lyre she's tuning. "It's still my favorite."

Lily Rose @vesperderolo.bsky.social · 2d

Hey, #TavQotD people. If I dropped you a question about your Tav/Durge, you might consider kicking one back this way. I'd certainly appreciate it.

Lily Rose @vesperderolo.bsky.social · 2d

#TavQotD Share a photo of your Tav/Durge that is literally the most THEM thing you can imagine.

I love this moment for Ria— a moment of calm and control, full of music, in dangerous surroundings while she is actively lying her ass off to everyone around her to some degree or another

Average music fan carrying a $70 single bag of groceries past bored troops as their neighbor gets thrown in a van by masked men who just pepper sprayed a cop:

“Huh, I wonder why these songs about an NFL player’s big ol’ dick don’t feel as relatable as they usually do”

Probably my most ambitious group piece yet, just based on pure numbers - likely the only one I'll do for this campaign, oof -- 13 is a lot, folks!!!
