#irva

Oh my god I’m sorry I’m too lazy to get these screenshots properly off of my Switch, but my partner got me a stylus so that I could finally bedazzle my kids. ✨🥹

Ulder raises an eyebrow. “This begs the question, then. You shared in my son's memory through the tadpoles. It was the night Wyll made his pact, but that wasn’t the only thing I saw through his eyes.” He stares hard at Irva. “Did I see clearly? Were you the cultist who took my son’s eye?” “Yes,” Irva says simply. “Does he know this?” “Yes.” Ulder leans forth, his brow furrowed. “And now you presume to take his heart?” Irva smiles dangerously, all sharp teeth. “Yes.” - No Hard Feelings by ElleKhen

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Yay thank you for asking! I answered 3 and 6 for Church and Irva respectively, so I’ll focus on 2 for this one!

2. Describe their tent setup! What’s on the outside? The inside?

Gotta borrow Astarion's tent for illustration!

Church

His tent itself is a worn and a faded burgundy, likely given to him by one of the tiefling refugees. However, he dresses it up to make sure it's cozy for himself and his companions.

On the outside is a small table beside which are two simple wooden stools with a cushion upon each of them. There are a couple mugs of coffee and a small vase that holds different flowers or other plants depending on where the camp is located. After gaining enough approval with him, there is also a red sketchbook that sits open on top of the table, along with a few sticks of graphite.

There is a worn, but complementary rug spread beneath all of this, and the interior and exterior of the tent are illuminated by a dancing lights cantrip.

Somewhere nearby is an incense burner (even though realistically he'd use this to commune with his mother/patron further away from camp,) as well as a small desk with a stack of books collected throughout the journey.

Inside the tent, if romanced there are two bedrolls spread open side by side along with a couple cozy wool blankets draped across them. There is another incense burner in here.

Irva

She situates her patchwork dark green tent further from the others. Eventually, the exterior becomes decorated with dragon iconography and statuettes found throughout the journey. While the outside is fairly modest and marred by some scorch marks, on the inside you can see containers glittering with gold and jewels she has accumulated throughout the journey. A woven rug is spread beneath all of it.

Within the immediate vicinity of the tent you'll notice a few small dirt piles where you can discover she has buried offerings of gold and jewels. In the game they would be highlighted in red, so if you dig them up and loot them she disapproves. Ironically, this is one way to eventually trigger the conversation about why she does this and who she worships.

I’ll do 3 and 6 for Irva since someone else asked the same for Church!

Here are my answers for Irva!

3. What would their character quest be titled? Why?

Irva’s quest would be called, “The Dragon’s Daughter.” In Act 1, her first quest would be to track down her sacred dragontooth dagger which was lost on the way down. Once revealed, most of her quest would center around her residual fanaticism of Tiamat and desire to raise a dracolich (I’m still trying to figure out what her quests would actually be though to be honest). In Act 3, it would focus around her and Wyll realizing their pasts are intertwined and resolving that conflict. In a “good” route, there would also be a quest to confront some dragon cultists who aligned themselves with Bane and defeat them, culminating in Irva reuniting with someone from her past. Somehow in her “evil” route, she’d become a Lich Wyrmspeaker or Wearer of Purple, returning to the cult as the next Severin.

6. How would the player go about meeting them in Act 1? What is their introduction?

You first find Irva in the Nautiloid wreckage, her prosthetic leg very broken. She’s pissed about it and mainly glowers at you. If you help her, she doesn’t say thank you. She simply reattaches her leg and limps away, disappearing before you can ask her anything else.

During a long rest, a couple of your companions remark that they’re missing gold, gems, or other valuables they picked up. That night there’s a cutscene where you run into Irva again. You find her agitatedly rummaging through your camp supplies, taking gold and food. You confront her and she’s defensive, but reluctantly asks for food and shelter. If you allow her to join up, she awkwardly thanks you and returns what she stole. You can also refuse or fight her and she’ll leave/flee. If that happens, you later find her body surrounded by burning terrain and can loot it for a number of gold, gems, and amulets or rings.

…so please let her join. :’)
