    Summary

    “Come here, let me see you,” Gortash says. His hands, bare of their protective gold carapaces, gently prod at the blood-stained gashes in the Dark Urge’s robes. “Hells, she did a number on you. My poor monster…”

    Or: the Dark Urge rolls a 20 on his Insight check when Orin tries to kill him, but doesn't escape unscathed and limps back to Gortash to lick his wounds.

    Summary

    ———

    Gale was at the head of the pack. He’d suggested he could tell the direction of civilization by sensing the movements of the weave. The dragonborn doubted it but said nothing. He was too busy devouring a jar of pickled fish he’d found in the looters tent and eyeing Astarion, who was behaving strangely.

    The elf was walking farther off, alongside them, weaving in and out of trees, meandering between honey-gold rays of sunlight pouring down through the canopy. He stared up at the light and seemed to hardly be watching where he was going, only occasionally glancing over to them when he drifted too far away.

    ———

    This is an ongoing novelization of the game. My aim is to give more detail and weight to events, story beats, character arcs, and all those things that we normally have to ignore because of video game reason: characters staying at camp, Withers reviving people, companions having little to say to each other, etc.

    Summary

    Written for Durgetash Week 2025. Day 6: Reunion.

    He'll let him wander the streets of the city freely, hoping the familiar places will bring back memories. That sending him to Orin might just be the right trigger to unearth his righteous anger and the sense of self he had before this whole ordeal.

    If not… Well. He'd rather see him die than to let him remain this... thing.

    It would be a kindness, really. Like putting down a lame horse.

    Summary

    The solid ground, the grounding solidity, of touch. This was the thread from which they wove their relationship, a fate written in the stars.

    But the thread is not their own. Fate is a puppeteer, and even stars turn to dust.

    -

    A study in senses, from the beginning ad infinitum.
