Ranting About Campaign 4 (mostly TeorWick)

Wicander: bet

He does NOT hold back in Hard setting campaigns man crown of candy was devastating and was genuinely a miracle any of them lived

He knows how and when to lie to players about rolls/mechanics for them to make meta knowledge align with what they should know or assume

Bro WILL narratively punish a player if they get caught slipping or leave loose ends.

Is known to orcastrate events that are an inch away from impossible for the players to win to progress the story (stole all the Diamonds so player couldn’t cats revivify then one shot an NPC to establish how dangerous a NPC was) (and how Brennan killed Julien’s dad and Occtis to set up occtis’s and Julien’s origin story)

In a Hardmode campaign he makes it his goal to murder a PC he literally said somewhere that he was sure that at least one PC would die in campaign 4 and in a crown of candy he was actively trying his best to murder PC’s bc that’s what the setting was

Bro has kids with 2 different rich women and he asked one of the girls for money and she had a whole ass monologue about how her (grandma???) knew this day would come and told her to be ready

And the other one just shielded him from the law bc he put on a scandalous play that they asked him to edit

And his 2 friends

Bolaire: the Curator of a magic museum who lets him basically steal any magic artifact he wants for his plays

Wiccander Halovar: face of a sundered house who clears all of the red tape for Hal so he can put on his plays

1: When people especially the ones you consider family downsize/excuse the heinous shit someone does to you for whatever BS reason they have it’s causes an unimaginable level of rage in you

And I saw that in Bolaire when he threw his minor fit which he had more than Every right to throw with the BS day he had with his sister attacking him and the person he cared for most treating him like a monster

I feel he was hoping that somone would comfort him and say that what happened to him was wrong but no one did and it’s devastating when that happens, everyone was acting like he was being melodramatic for hating Thjazi for doing every hate crime he possibly could to Bolaire

2: The way Bolaire can’t escape the profiling

Every action he takes and word he speak’s is being warped by the identity others have given him.

I truly don’t think Bolaire doesn’t see himself as a person I think he says he doesn’t because he wants other people to say he is, and to some extent they do but their words are cheap when they still don’t treat you like one.

Bolaire is perfectly aware that no matter how humane he is he will never be fully allowed personhood, A lesson Thjazi made sure he learned and no matter how hard he tries to prove him wrong everyone to some extent gatekeeps humanity from him enforcing that lesson.

And that’s what he’s angry about, he’s angry that Thjazi treated him like scum on the earth and that nobody cares, Bolaire in his rant was being sarcastic and satirical, he said he belonged to Thimble or Hal because he’s just an object that’s what Thjazi made him feel like,

And everyone tells him he’s not but no one says Thjazis wrong, and that makes their words hollow, no one faults Thjazi for treating Bolaire like an Object, but they say Bolaire isn’t an object, those two facts can’t exist together.

If Thjazi isn’t wrong then Bolaire has to be an Object to them, he couldn’t be a person bc if he was then Thjazi would be wrong and no one says he is

With Teor/Wick + Wick/Tyranny + Tyranny/Kattigan + Kattigan/Teor + Thimble self love

Wick is the reason Halandil had as much freedom as he did with his plays and Hal was using Wick as a worth a shot attempt to parden Thjazi in the Prologue,

And for Wick Hal seems to be somone he strongly respects and cares for with Wick being shown to openly support Hal and was semi willing to blow his cover/standing with his family for Hal twice with him advocating for Hal during the Play scandal

Their relationship has a very weird power dynamic between them with Hal having everything to gain by cozying up to Wiccander Halovar but Wick has everything to lose by endorsing Halandil Fang brother to the most infamous man in Dol-Makjar

Vaelus: in the most I LOVE GOD outfit ever, unapologetic af

Occtis Tachonis: the most undead person to ever exist in a century who’s also apart of the family who’s whole gimmick is being able to control Undeath.

And just some noble asshole named Julien

And Taisha just goes “hey guys be chill”

But Wick deciding this because of the innocent women Wick was forced to kill is +2000000 aura

They have very similar upbringings and got treated very similarly bc of their religions, in a way that wasn’t fair to them.

and that Azune has some sort ability to change his face to match others.
