I Am The Storm, Baby

I realized I never posted these guys here! Which worked out, I only made Caduceus yesterday so that kind of works out!

I am loving the Laudna/Imogen dynamic, it feels so fragile. Both of them are struggling with trying to hold on as tightly as they can but realizing that what they’re holding is made of glass. There are so many factors to consider if the two of them can make it out of this campaign alive (or kind of alive) and their relationship in tact.

I don’t think I would go so far as to call their connection toxic and I don’t even know if I would say they are overly co-dependent. It’s normal to feel grounded by your significant other in times of extreme stress. But we’ve only seen them under duress. Imogen, in theory, can make it out the other side of this if they are successful in stopping Predathos, but Laudna’s very existence is tied to a force that is driving a wedge between them. And what is Delilah’s end game? It has to be control over Laudna’s body right? Will we see that in the campaign? Will this be a situation like when the Mighty Nein fought Trent after the final battle? Will we see a fight for Laudna’s soul to wrench her free from Delilah? Maybe Imogen will be a granted a favor from the gods and we will see Laudna brought back to life and Delilah extinguished for good. But that seems too neat and clean.

All I can say is that I’m loving their story. There will always be a level of compromise in a relationship, but it shouldn’t be at the expense of compromising yourself.
