#which is an iffy slope all around 🫠

[swordmaid]

the fact that the only way for minthara to survive in shri’iia’s playthrough is if shri’iia is the dark urge meaning she does not care about lolth that much. like … just thinking about the sheer cunt and eatery two ex lolth-sworn oath of vengeance paladins would bring (though one of them is an oathbreaker…). one has the noble background and the other a charlatan they’d be so so terrible and magnificent together I fear

#but I don’t see minty surviving shri’iia in act 1 bc shri’iia is still very much a lolth stan #and there is a specific dialogue you can get if you talk to the spiders first before talking to minty #where they tell you that another drow has forsaken lolth -> so when you interact with minty you can kill her for forsaking lolth rather #than kill her bc halsin asked you to which is the route I always go or bc it makes the most sense for shri’iia #like sorry to you all but she doesn’t care abt the tieflings and the grove 😭 #literally the only reason why she managed to be the hero for that particular conflict is bc minty is there and shri’iia’s oath compels her #to punish lolth’s traitors … and the fact that minty is a baenre AND a traitor like how can she pass that up 🙊 #but now I’m thinking in an au where the goblin camp was ignored and they recruit minty #I feel like their relationship would be interesting bc minty is significantly older and Shri’iia very much respects the drow heirarchy #so she will be treating minty with a more obvious respect and reverence compared to everyone else even though she’s not a noble ‘noble’ #anymore …. just habits ingrained into her …. #I also like the idea of minty being her mentor too … and maybe more 😳 but that’s leaning into her past relationship territory #which is an iffy slope all around 🫠
