Baldur's Gate 3
Dementor reacted to AquilaTempestas for a topic
It was weird! I did end up finding her again though and she's level 8... the rest of my party were still at level 6. Can't complain though. I'm about halfway through Act 2 and I'm trying to get levels. Currently at gith place after a failed showdown with the Nightsong which saw me reload an earlier save. Here's my drow when she was flirting with Astarion.1 point -
A Crown of Thorns (NRFTW Revised)
AquilaTempestas reacted to Ace of Spies for a topic
Clair nods. "Not just that... I want you to use this to get out of this life completely. You're done with drugs, crime... ANYTHING else you've found yourself in. You're done with all that. I don't care how long it takes to pay me back so long as you use this money for that purpose." She wasn't overly worried about him paying her back. She was worried she wouldn't get the money back, but she didn't want to pressure him into resorting to... unsavory means of doing so. That would defeat the entire point, and put him right back where he started. "C'mon..." she said. The money was in her room. She had to get it for him. As she heads out of his room, she asks him. "What did Grandfather do with the money in your account?"1 point -
Sizzling Scenes Sundays
AquilaTempestas reacted to Ace of Spies for a topic
Title: Freeze Tag Fandom: SMITE Missed Sunday again, but it's alright. Inspired by @Stubborn Saber ---- Sun Wukong laughed as he swung happily through the trees of this frozen forest. He heard the thunk of icy spears piercing the frost-covered trees behind him. "On him, Kaldr!" He could hear the wolf keeping pace with him below, but even in these unfamiliar trees, he was in still in his element. He landed on a girthy trunk and adjusted, using his powerful legs to shoot off in the distance, directly back the way he came. He winked at the blue huntress chasing him as he passed over his head and was gifted an icy javelin flying by his neck as a result. That one had actually been close... "Well, never have I heard it said that the Goddess of Winter lacks for aim!" The chase continued, his pursuers relentless, but unfortunately, far outclassed. Even if they could catch him, there wasn't much they could do to kill him. He was beyond immortal by any definition of the word thanks to his... mischievous youth. And yet the will of the Ice Huntress seemed endless. He eventually stopped her pursuit by whacking the base of a tree with his Riyu Jingu Bang, the large oak falling directly on top of her companion. "Kaldr!" She cried, immediately rushing to where he had fallen. Sun watched from the treeline, wondering if his impulsiveness to end this had just earned him Skadi's eternal vengeance. Luckily for them both, the tree shook, and with a deep growl Kaldr pushed up from underneath it. Sun's eyebrows rose in awe as the winter wolf pushed the tree off him, struggling to do so, but managing to do enough that Skadi could get her hands underneath and add her own strength to it. Combined, they made enough space for Kaldr to wiggle out, where he collapsed in exhaustion. Skadi was at his side, soothing him. It looked like he'd be fine. He thought he had killed the pup, but the wolf had apparently strong enough to lift the weight of an ancient tree singlehandedly. Sun dropped down onto a tree branch near them. "He's no ordinary wolf, is he?" he asked casually. Skadi was instantly at her feet, bent on her haunches with a long icy spear in hand. She had immediately fallen into a hunter's stance, standing protectively over Kaldr like a mother wolf defending her young. She nearly growled at him, and her eyes deadly shining sapphires, sharp as glass. "Easy!" Sun claimed, showing his hands to show he was unarmed. "I mean no harm. I don't even know why you started chasing me to begin with!" He protested. Skadi lowered the spear when she saw that he was genuine. "If you want me for a lover, there are far easier ways to get my attention-" He tensed as he saw a spear of ice heading for him, but she had aimed for where the branch he was on met the tree, and he found himself falling into deep snow a moment later. He stood up, spitting out a mouthful of snow and grinning impishly at her. "Point made," he said. It didn't look like she was attacking him seriously anymore. "You are a threat," Skadi told him blankly, and he felt the smile dropping from his face. He had been treated like this for far too long, by far too many uppity immortals who shared the mindset. "Your power will grow unchecked. Too quickly and too violently. You are rash, impulsive, and quick to anger. Your pride will be the downfall of all of China, and eventually, the world." "You missed the part where I can also choose to become a force for good. And also the part where my good looks and my charm save the world," he chortled, but Skadi didn't look amused. "It's better to destroy you now rather than let you be the embodiment of chaos and destruction. I've had more than my fill of impulsive tricksters with an appetite for causing others pain." Sun groaned. He hadn't sat through countless lessons and lectures with Tao on following the way of the monk just to be invited into this strange land and almost immediately attacked by someone concerned with his apparent destiny for destruction. "Comparing me to a guy who gave birth to a horse is a low blow, snow fox. What do you know about me, anyway?" "I know that if your power grows unchecked, and you choose to follow the path of chaos, your inevitable clash with Nu Wa will create destruction unseen for millennia." He groaned. "Aside from that," he amended. Skadi frowned at him, looking less confident. "I know you have the cunning of Loki and the immaturity, brashness, and strength of Thor." "So, only the bad stuff... right, that tracks..." He resisted the temptation to add the fact that he was far, FAR stronger than Thor. No wonder she thought she had a chance of destroying him, she didn't seem to know his true strength. Although, her fearlessness was noteworthy. He had long heard tales of the strength of the God of Thunder, victor of thousands of battles and nigh undefeatable. That she thought he was as strong as Thor and hadn't hesitated to try and run him down with full force... that spoke volumes of her indomitable spirit. It spoke of her confidence, and her competence, when it came to protecting her loved ones. Her family. Sun Wukong found himself intrigued. He sat down across the clearing from her, in a lotus position, having just thought of a much better way to spend this day than preparing for their journey to the Celtic Lands. "Well, we have to stay here until Kaldr wakes up, right? How about this? You sit down and ask me questions. Anything you like. There's far more to me than what you've heard, and I'll teach you everything you need to know. We'll see if it paints a more complete picture than your prior knowledge. And then, you can judge for yourself. What do you say, snow cone?" Skadi didn't look amused, but she did lower her spear. Taking a glance at Kaldr, she nodded her agreement and sat down on her knees, unbothered by the snow. The cold never bothered her, anyway. "I accept your terms," she said, before giving him a cold smirk. "And if I don't like what I hear, you'll find yourself imprisoned in Hel, with a serpent dripping venom in your eyes right next to the last person who thought they'd make a fool of me."1 point -

A Crown of Thorns (NRFTW Revised)
AquilaTempestas reacted to Ace of Spies for a topic
Clair mock gasps, holding a hand to her chest. "Oh, what's wrong? Have I offended you, dear cousin? Please, forgive me. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." Clair smiled at him, the cobalt rings around her pupils staring into him with barely hidden contempt. Lies... lies... lies... All this man did was lie to her. Normally, upsetting him like this would make her feel terrible. Lance hadn't told her to get out of his room like this for... many years now. But right now, she was looking at a loose collection of paltry lies and pathetic excuses in the shape of her cousin. That's all he was. She could hardly recognize the man in front of her as her cousin. She steps closer, despite the warning in his eyes. He was clearly uncomfortable. She had been asking too many questions today. ...Good. She wanted him to feel uncomfortable. The thought made her happy. "After all, you're my cousin. You're my rock. You're my only ally in this house. No matter what I do, you always defend me, look out for me. When Grandfather's mad at me, you're always there to try and put yourself on the line trying to direct his ire elsewhere." She sneers at him, her voice lowering. "You're always carrying the burden of the family, the future of the family, on your shoulders. Everything is in your hands, which is why I would never ever do anything to disrespect you." She couldn't help but feel so enraged. After everything she did for him... ...he had lied to her... for YEARS. "You defend my name every day of your life... so I would never, EVER allow some low life to use it, even to get at me. I would never sit by and let them threaten you..." She curls her hands into fists. "You... lying... piece of shit..."1 point -

I'm in Act 2 now and these Shar trials are really sucking the enjoyment out. This is awful. But I will persist! @Lady Mechanika You'll see her again pretty early on. My game has bugged out. Karlach has randomly disappeared and now I can't find her - last I saw her she randomly showed up in some red area and I don't know how to get back. Now she's permanently gone? Here's my drow and what a screen capture haha.0 points
