#tav!evune

Plotted starter with @imperitvs

The group made their way down the hill towards Rivington and the greater city of Baldurs gate at large. Evune could already smell the crisp slightly salty air that meant she was home; and apparently she wasn’t the only one. Osian had gone ahead of them, he had said that his sister and niece lived in Rivington and he needed to check on them. He had apparently been with his niece when he was taken by the mindflayers just as she had been, and he needed the confirmation that she was okay. Evune understood completely, when they got to the lower city the gods knew the first thing she was going to do was check on her family. She had told him as much and to go without worrying about how they would fare- they just killed an Avatar of Myrkul they could surely survive Rivington.

Almost the first thing she noticed that was different than before, the first being the terror and rage in the air, was that there was now… a circus. Others might have wondered if now was really the time for a circus but, in her opinion, it was the perfect time. People were terrified, especially children, but she saw them excitedly talking about the circus and running around. If a circus could calm people’s spirits just for a bit while they dealt with the absolute, then by all means there should be a circus. If she had the time she’d take her younger three siblings, maybe she’d suggest Rion do so when she saw her. She smiled at the sight of happy people and intended to move on but then she saw a familiar shade of ginger hair. Osian was at the circus? So she changed course and headed to the entrance, she passed the ‘examination’ (whatever the hells that was) and headed towards where she saw him, which happened to be towards a very colorful tent. She spotted him amongst the crowd, along with a little girl she assumed to be his niece; thank the gods she was okay.

“Osian! Hey!” She called as she weaved her way through the people, “fancy seeing you here!” She stumbled forward but at least she had made it over to them.

Evune gave the vampire a side eye, she had come to the conclusion that most ideas Astarion had were morally dubious at best. However, some of them were highly entertaining, she enjoyed his snark more than she would care to admit, and she would be a liar if she claimed she wasn’t a fan of some tomfoolery and shenanigans.

She may have inadvertently encouraged it by giving him an enchanted pair of gloves that improved his sleight of hand, but he was the best thief among them. What else was she meant to do? She certainly wasn’t above some thievery as long as it was needed and/or the person deserved it. Rifling through Kagha’s things and helping themselves to her letters had been Evune’s idea after all, and the gloves helped them succeed.

“What exactly did you have in mind?” She asked, trying and failing to not let on her intrigue.

Evune shakily rose to her feet after intercepting a particularly nasty scorching ray spell intended for Shadowheart. As a ranger, Evune’s place was mostly in the backline; sneaking in the shadows looking for an opportunity to turn the tide of battle with a well aimed arrow. However; her heart often overtook her tactical side, especially when someone she considered a friend was in danger.

She brushed the ash from her cuirass before turning to face Shadowheart with a smile,

“You did; however, I have a habit of not listening.”

She hoped she had enough goodwill and charm to mitigate the cleric's irritation at her for her act of recklessness.

Evune had been in the middle of breaking down her tent when he asked the question. She had just admitted to the group that she was a ‘Harper associate’ as she said since she wasn't actually a Harper herself to her own dismay.

And hey, in her opinion her secret was far less severe than others were! Compared to ‘I worship Shar’ ‘I’m a vampire’ ’I’m a walking magical bomb’ she thought she was pretty damn ordinary thank you very much!

She continued folding the canvas as she slightly turned to face him with a slight smirk,

“I wasn’t planning on it at all actually. I didn’t think it was all that important. Surely you can’t be too upset with me for keeping some things to myself, I seem to recall that you,” her voice went to a high, almost sing-song, tone on the word ‘you’ and she poked him gently in the side, “weren’t too forthcoming on the whole vampirism business yourself” She sassed.

YAY YIPPPEEEE

21. What hobbies do they have on the road? How easy is it to find the supplies they need to do that hobby?

Bg3 Evune: archery and training was her hobby back home so it’s pretty easy to continue that, though if she’s spent all day fighting she understandably wants a break 😂. She enjoys climbing trees in her down time or fussing over her companions whether they want her to or not (usually not lmaooo), trees are pretty easy to find until act two and by then she’s got other things to worry about.

Rowan: Rowan has multiple hobbies! She likes collecting random objects that call to her on their journey and puts them in her tent. In her save I have honored this, the first thing I did was grab a seashell to add to her collection. She’s also a crafter, she likes making little trinkets out of the things she finds (I finally had a chance to incorporate this in a thread which makes me happy), especially weaving grass! She finds it very relaxing. She weaves shapes, bands, bracelets, whatever. She learned how from Apikusis when she was in the Druids grove being healed. Rowan would make friendship bracelets but be really shy to actually give them to people. Shes also the one writing the journal to catalog their quests since she knows she won’t remember.

23. Would they stargaze with Gale using his telescope? Can they recognize many constellations?

Bg3 Evune: definitely, she loves the night sky and the moon especially. She would only really recognize major constellations (irl equivalent she could recognize the big and Little Dipper but not the zodiacs) she just likes to look at it and admire

Evune side-eyed Shadowheart, immediately on edge.

Out of all of the party, Evune had reacted to Shadowheart’s confession of faith the worst. She hadn't reacted horribly, demanded Shadowheart be thrown out of the group, or anything like that. Her reaction was more of a silent one. Her mother had told her about a former companion of hers who was a Sharren so it was an odd coincidence.

She had done her utmost to not be unkind about it or bring it up, part of the reason was because she knew about Shar and her ways. How she preyed on the desperate and grieved, offered them a false reprieve in nothingness. With how that wound on her hand flared up with pain, it seemed that may be the case with Shadowheart too. In truth, she liked Shadowheart quite a lot, they had gotten on quite well before… But that didn’t mean she would let her guard down around someone who associated themselves with a group who killed so many.

“Are you threatening me, Sharran?”
