SOMEONE HAS TO how else am i to support my theories about Emil's mage potential if i don't have the info pages at the tip of my fingers at all times?
also, because it was inevitable, D&D joking below (though now I am tempted to try and make Lalli's character sheet) Spoiler: long chatlog tentacledicks all three main fighters are just book dumb its fine lalli’s WIS is off the charts at least Alisette they know how to hit a trooll, that's important lalli: wisdom 25, int8 tentacledicks (meanwhile sigrun’s CHA is off the charts) Alisette yes tuuri: int 25, wisdom 2 tentacledicks though i wonder how much better emil would have done at school if he’d been challenged more as a kid Alisette emil... probably wins the dex scores tentacledicks i mean, demolitions is not an imprecise art? and he gets most of his pack confiscated but he’s clearly able to formulate new stuff on the field Alisette yeah tentacledicks oh god emil has the highest INT of the three and it’s all geared towards one field Alisette crippling overspecialization he can make a building explode with a matchbook, two bottles and a bottle of gin but don't ask him to do basic algebra for you tentacledicks he can do literally nothing else but that bless him Alisette mikkel: highest strength tentacledicks DEF dex is his dumpstat Alisette yes tentacledicks STR, WIS, and INT are his top stats, CON is average, and CHA and DEX are dumpstats Alisette yes tentacledicks (meanwhile sigrun is just all STR and CON) she fought off sepsis by sheer willpower for WEEKS without seeking medical aide Alisette YEAH sigrun, holding eye contact with the DM while nat20ing YET ANOTHER con save reynir has high int and wisdom, con is the dump stat lalli's dump stat is def CHA tentacledicks ABSOLUTELY reynir’s CHA is probably decent high but his DEX and STR are shit too Alisette (classes: mikkel: palakin, sigrun: fighter, emil: sorcerer, reynir: wizard, tuuri: artificer, lalli: ranger) tentacledicks consider reynir is also possibly a wizard/cleric crossclass Alisette ohhh yes i like this tentacledicks also lalli has levels in druid but crossclassed to ranger and hasn’t looked back Alisette YESS very good emil is a phoenix sorc, no i don't take comments at this time (bonus: he does not know that he is a sorc, he THINKS he's been taking levels in fighter. just...slowly) tentacledicks omfg yes Alisette Emil: i'm really good at setting thinfs on fire! Lalli: Babe you're a mage
Chapter two of the emilonni experiment is live, bringing things up to 24k of still mostly sfw content. And, because I'm weirdly anxious about this, and do deeply love emilalli, it is Not Cheating. I've got a five-day work trip happening a week from tomorrow, so let's see how fast I can fill in the holes in the rest of this draft :P
God i wanna write fic of this, but i'm so intimidated by the setting. I love it so much but i don't feel i can do it justice...
Chapter 3/4 for the emilonni, 20k (44k total so far), this is such a weirdly long fic compared to my skillset/comfort zone, but hey, things have finally gotten sexy :V @me this is what happens when we start telling ourselves to justify the smut, which is why we don't do that, remember??
holy shit that filing cabinet but also: SHOW ME MORE FINNISH MAGIC I BEG OF U and this is apparently gonna be showing us some very good finnish magic ahhhhh
I'm so excited for the new arc honestly! hurrah cool mindfuck magic and impending horrible tragic ending :D
god i'm so delighted to get more insight into how finnish magic works. we really got a primer with reynir in the first adventure and we're really winding up for a full on treatise on finnish magic; minna's said that she drew A Redtail's Dream first so she could get some experience before jumping into her dream project, so i'm REALLY hype given how much ARD was a loveletter to finnish mythology too
Comb and bracelet are Emil and Reynir, and it looks like all Finnish mages have totems of their luonto (maybe for this reason?) so the cat is probably Lalli. Given that Mikkel is Wife Material I wanna say he’s the scissors, which would make Sigrun the surprisingly pretty baubal/pendant, I think.
