I finally did it. Sorry, it took a long time and… looks bad
I realized how…terrible this is. I did my best bro… I want to do it better but I don't have any skills. When I gain experience, I'll remake this. And now…. Just accept my happiness to see you, @judathian *OH MY GOD EVERYTHING IS WRONG HERE To be honest, this is my first “difficult” art

would you be able to talk about dindel and vale's relationship? i think they're so fascinating 😍
Yes. Yes I can ramble on about D&D shenanigans you do not have to ask twice! Especially about those two doofuses (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)
Tumblr media
(By the by, I keep an in-character journal of this campaign collected here for further reading)
Granted, I don’t know much more than Dindel herself does about Vale, so everything about him is Subject To Change Due To Dramatic Reveal®, but a bit of background on the two prior to the game proper:
Dindel (Who’s actual name is Dindelion, or more correctly Dandelion but her dad always said it wrong) had lived her whole life in the crime ridden dried up port town of Delzimmer. When she was very young her elven mother left for reasons unclear to little Dindel and her father subsequently was completely unable to keep his shit together, losing his cobbling business after taking up gambling and drinking, and the two have been living more or less on the streets ever since. Unlike clerics or druids, Dindel has a seemingly natural born ability to use divine magic and would often need it to take care of her dad, but he taught her to hide her gift from everyone lest someone try to take her away from him and use her talents for their own gain.
Being so cooped up for someone homeless, she’d occasionally get her hands on books where she’d fantasize a lot about the world outside of Delzimmer and became pretty infatuated with romance stories. She’s had a few relationships but none of them went anywhere - the most notable one being with a halfling soldier who told her grand stories of travel and promised to take her away with him. Sadly he was just a lying douche and she caught him bragging as much to his friends one day, so after that she just kinda gave up on the idea of leaving and resigned herself to taking care of her father.
Vale (Who’s full name is an entire flipping sentence and I haven’t heard it since character creation stuff but is something along the lines of ‘Hidden Vale Beyond the Waterfall") was born to a Tabaxi tribe on an island far away. Through some manipulation by merchants or mercenaries (cant recall which exactly) traveling through the area, Vale ended up sold into servitude and grew up a member of a band of mercenaries - specifically he was trained with a flail to break enemy shield walls. Some time prior to the game the majority of the mercenary gang was wiped out and Vale ended up a drifter who found himself in Delzimmer.
Their first meeting didn’t involve much actual words passing between them, but Vale was sitting by a window in a tavern when he noticed Dindel outside looking for food. Seeing this he began to make a ruckus about something being wrong with the soup he’d ordered and it being unacceptable and demanding a replacement, while putting the soup bowl itself on the window sill and making it clear that he wanted her to take it, which she happily did.
Soon after, her father’s gambling debts finally caught up with him and he was taken away by what amounts to essentially the local mafia. They then found her and essentially got her to agree to pay his debts. Not really emotionally equipped to deal with being on her own and no idea how to pay off her dad’s debt that wasn’t degrading, she reached out to Vale for help - he wasn’t from Delzimmer, he’d been nice to her, and he looked like a soldier and soldiers get paid and get hurt and she can heal people, and damnit she was desperate.
We haven’t actually figured exactly who that meeting went (Vale’s player was planning on writing something up at some point. I’ll have to ask him about that) but luckily Vale had just received word that a city to the south was looking for capable soldiers, agreed to take her with him, and they set off on a boat down south (Dindel apparently gets super seasick btw)
Overall the two both seem to be emotional wrecks who each use the other to keep their shit together. Especially after Vale’s player wrote Cat’s Scratch Fever  it seems like Vale’s holding up Dindel as a kind of symbol of innocence and goodness, and helping her as a means to try to make up for past sins from his mercenary life. And he does sacrifice basically everything for her. Aside from the general “Barbarian bleeds to protect the party” thing (Where he has, on multiple occasions, put Dindel’s safety above anything/everyone else), he’s also given her essentially all of his share of everything to help her pay off her dad’s debts, which he never actually mentioned to her but she caught on to when he started handing out shares to the other members and they were half the size he gave to her. The biggest hurdle on his end seems to be that he’s put her up on such a high pedestal he sees himself as unworthy to try to be with her.
As for Dindel, she’s had a rough time during their travels. Her fantasies of the outside world have basically come crashing down around her as she’s start to figure that every place is pretty much the same as Delzimmer, just Delzimmer doesn’t try to hide how awful it is. That’s pretty much just reinforced her old emotional dependencies but now with her father gone the party are the only ones she can really latch on to. And of those, Lucan is super distant, Niles hates anything remotely elven, and Essmer is a weird embodiment of all of her dad’s bad habits so none of them have come as close to her as Vale. And her feelings towards Vale have been all the hell over the place: He’s SUPER nice to her and has done a lot to improve her situation, but he’s also absolutely pants-wetteningly terrifying when he’s enraged to the point where that being aimed at her is possibly her greatest fear and that’s a massive red flag, but he’s also shown himself to be remorseful over things he’s done and wanting to do better, but also refers to her as “Kit” like she was a child so is he just being nice to her because he thinks she’s a kid or what?! She’s basically run the entire gamut between being afraid for her life and complete infatuation and it’s EXHAUSTING lol.
So that’s the current state of things. Which will possibly change in the next session or so because Dindel has gone through enough of an emotional whirlwind and the action has died down enough lately that she’s going to try to work up the courage to just talk to Vale about this shit and find out where they stand. Unfortunately the last session didnt quite reach a good point for that (mostly because we spent waaay too much time talking about non-game stuff), and the one last weekend was canceled since we couldn’t all make it, so this “Will They Wont They” bullshit has been in my head for like A MONTH NOW and I’m ready for some level of resolution to this plot arc lol.
Mostly because I want the two characters to come to some understanding before we enter the next section of the game, which is settlement-building shenanigans that will have large time skips during downtime and I’d rather the characters hash it out now than either just say “they decided X” during a time skip or to somehow contort it so they could go LONG spans of time around each other with no horribly pressing life threatening situations and somehow have NOTHING develop in their relationship over that time, like it was a terrible romance anime~
So yeah, hopefully soon (next session is the next week’s saturday, 11/3) we’ll find out if these two goons can admit their feelings and accept the other’s in return and go from there. No matter what happens it should result in some good character development~ Maybe not positive character development if things go poorly, but good none-the-less \( º w º  )/.

Some time ago Weiss reblogged an older post where she described Haze talking to, and I quote: "an edgelord hot topic trash vampire(a potential new alter????)". I'm trying to decide if that was Lucan or if it's some other edgelord hot topic trash vampire in the secondary branch. Help?
❄️We hadn’t heard from him since that day. Morgana suspects he was a drifter of sorts

Questions for both operatoe and drifter Luncan.
Drifter!Luncan: Given he's with Bombastine, what is his opinion on Luscinia? Does he listen to the poison (badum tss) fed to him by Bombastine, or does he have some other opinion of her?
Operator!Luncan: What was his time in the Zariman like then vs now? Does he have any opinions on Tales of Duviri? What does he think of the Holdfasts?
For Lucan:
He knows well enough not to listen to what Bombastine has to say about other people, he knows exactly what the man represents. It is a bit draining for him to mindlessly agree even when he doesn't believe in it himself. Lucan does a lot just to avoid any unneeded arguments that are easily started with Bombastine.
Infact he kinda gets what Luscinia feels, as deep under his uncaring outer shell, he's quite depressed himself, more than happy to allow Lodun to beat on him as a form of self punishment for just existing.
For Luc:
During the school years he was a very fun kid, full of love and always wanting to be the class clown, enjoying making the other students laugh or just to brighten up their days. He had a loving family before the jump, friends he loved to hang out with. Luc was, and still is, the kind of kid that will talk to anyone, trying his hardest to befriend them.
After the jump he stayed mostly the same, at least on the outside. The events of the gave have definitely caused trauma, but Luc hides it underneath his friendly, happy-go-lucky outside. He wants to be seen as the strong one, who others can always turn to if they need help, while not giving himself the same treatment.
Luc really isn't the smartest boy, but his heart is big and secretly hurting. He's known to put himself in danger to try and use compassion to overcome issues with enemies, sometimes putting himself at major risk of being taken advantage of or betrayed / killed. (Like he's out here hugging the bone-marrow walls to try and appease Wally, which is probably Not going to work. )
-
Luc enjoys the storybook, I'd say he's totally a 'dragons are SO cool' kind of kid. He also likes the Holdfasts a lot, at least most of them. He sees them as a positive parental style of adult (which is really easy for someone to become for him, just show him care and he likes you very quickly). Though with Cavalero, Luc has a bit of a tougher time, feeling more like he could get scolded by Cav but respects him non-the-less.
Out of everyone he likes Yonta the most, which reminds him of his own mother before the events of the warp jump.
