    Summary

    An artificer with a pension for trouble, Etalia Albane knows the world best when it's behind a handcrafted, arcane scope.

    Years of mischief should have led her on a path of petty crime and prison sentences, but her dream of becoming a world-renowned inventor has sent her on a journey to Baldur's Gate with nothing but her Eldritch Cannons, robots, and warforge companions. That is until she bumps into Tav and her company during a routine grave-digging operation: a crew of strangers bonded by a mind flayer tadpole deep within their skulls.

    With nothing else but wishes and prayers to gods that may or may not listen to them, Etalia agrees to a partnership in the hope they'll arrive there alive, and it seems that a giant brain in the sky may be the least of their problems…

    ***

    A story in which two idiots fall in love but they can't seem to say it.

    Also a major plot is that Astarion has a charisma of 10 battling someone with an intelligence of 19 but a wisdom of like 4. It’s a slow burn that revolves around friends to lovers and though the artificer falls hard the vampire falls harder.
