#tavqotd #ElorinPosting Meaningful things

Elorin has:

- his violin
- his hat
- his apothecary bag
- his top surgery scars
- his "hoard" (a collection of knowledge, his own lab journals and alchemy books)
- later an earring given to him during his wedding, made from one of Abdirak's armband spikes

Does your Tav/Durge have any tells about the weather like that? Migraines? A hurt in their joint?

You can call it bird senses.
Her survival depended on finding places that were more abundant in food so she had to be able to run from the more harsh winter conditions

#tavqotd How it started VS How it's going

There's been some development from "resentful and sceptical to useless healer with stupid opinions" to "warm and kind and hold me tight please don't ever let go" 😌❤️

CW: eye trauma, injury

#RolimOC offered because he already misses one eye.
But even if the extraction was successful, it'd mean they would lose one eye as well, and no one was willing to go that far.

tw: eye trauma, injury

#tavqotd Did your tav/durge get Volo'd, or was it someone else who unfortunately suffered him? Also, does anybody get the hag eye in your party?

Tw: eye trauma

Val'dran was sadly alone in camp, having a full-blown panic attack when Volo declared he'd found a solution. Val'dran doesn't make good decisions when in a panic.

Volo took his eye out and fled, and the party found Val'dran fully dissociated with a false eye in hand.

Val'dran feels the cold coming by way of his right hand. Having once lost all four fingers on that hand to a sword, these days cold will make the scars ache. Too much cold, and the hand grows stiff enough that he can only use the thumb.

So if he 'senses' snow, he's *leaving*, preferably.

#DominoOC is still fairly new (he was born yesterday lol)
But for one, he treasures his horn ornament, a gift from his father when he came of age.

#ElegysOC has scars that used to hold great meaning to her.
They were a sign of her devotion to Bhaal and are self inflicted.

But these days, she treasures her necklace most. It's a portal to a pocket dimension keeping her displacer beast safe.
Looks like Sapphire when Shadow isn't peeping

#VincentOC

Vinnie claims the Lathander earring from the bag Rolim gave to Riara. Their mother was buried with the second one and wearing this one makes him feel reconnected to his roots.

He eventually gives it to his son #NathanielOC as a token of good luck for his adventures.

#tavqotd #ElorinPosting If your Tav could romance an NPC, who would It be?

Game mechanics be damned, Elorin takes that priest with him and (eventually) smooches the heck out of him. They make a strange yet perfect couple, who stay together until Abdirak's lifespan eventually catches up to him.

Val'dran wandered off course and got himself fascinated by Sorn Orlith! In big part because though Sorn flirted and suggested sex, he simply *accepted* Val'dran's no as if it were no issue at all.

And then he turned out to be sweet, ridiculous and fun too. Val'dran stood no chance 😌
