To everyone who has supported me over the last two years of this community, whether for my mods, my art, Siraan, or just me, thank you.

#TavQOTD Eye fact: Although blind in her left eye after Auntie Ethel tore it out, Siraan eventually realises that whatever fey power Ethel imbued it with actually allows her to faintly see magical auras through it like a permanent Detect Magic spell. (1/2)

#TavQOTD "Hi, um... I'm Siraan, and I'm a cleric, chosen of the elven god of the sea, airship captain, founder of the Healing Hands, and recently banned from the Baldur's Gate pie-eating contest.

Ask me anything!

...Except about the pie contest thing... I'm still a little sore about that."

#TavQOTD "Hey... Ghost person? I don't want any trouble or anything, I won't bother you if you don't bother me.

But in case you're gonna do some spooky poltergeist shit just know that I do have Turn Undead and I'm not afraid to use it."

Siraan: "My fellow shield maiden and hammer enthusiast!

Been meaning to ask, did you ever have any formal combat training? If so, who taught you?"

Siraan had no intention of playing along with the True Soul ruse. Her mind was made up the moment Nere threw the gnome into the lava, he was going to die. Painfully.

A lil lineup of Val'dran's work outfits over the years, starting in 2019, and then his little "as an idol" drawing from this year just because I really like it 😂❤️

#tav #bg3oc

A lineup of Val'dran drawings from his first fullbody drawing in 2019 to his latest outfit from 2024.

A drawing of Val'dran as an idol, singing into a handheld mic while dressed in a leather crop top and a pink skirt with lace over. He has glitter in his face and over the shoulders, as well as makeup about the eyes and mouth.

Illustrations from 2022, 2023, 2024 and this week, not sure if the last image is a glow-up though haha 🤣 At least his hair got curlier.

2022 Illustration of a chubby guy with red shoulder length hair, wearing glasses. He's wearing a grey shirt, a teal vest and dark pants together with some brown boots. He looks confident. There are also some face studies of the same character judging you, being happy about having a great plan, and frustrated about his companions that can't keep themselves alive.

2023 Illustration of a chubby guy with red shoulder length hair, wearing glasses. He's wearing dark fancy clothes - a black shirt that is a bit open over his chest and dark pants. He's sitting on a pink sofa, holding glass of wine and looking at the side, smiling confidently.

2024 Illustration of a chubby guy with red shoulder length hair, wearing glasses. He's wearing a grey shirt, a teal vest and dark pants together with some brown boots. He smiles while adjusting his glasses.

2025 Illustration of a chubby guy with red shoulder length hair, wearing glasses. He's wearing a dark blue dress that is open on the sides, showing teal pants and brown boots underneath. He's sitting down on the floor, reading a book while looking very flustered. The illustration is very simple and cartoony compared to the other pieces, with very exaggerated facial expressions.

"You're right! A jungle would be fascinating... I've actually been to one briefly when I was banished there by an angry Djinni. Was beautiful, aside from all the dinosaurs trying to eat me... Hopefully Chult isn't quite so dangerous."

(She has no idea the jungle Akabi sent her to *was* Chult 😬)

She takes out Stormsunder to give Cassie a closer look at the hammer.

"She's a beauty huh? Was my dad's from his time as an adventurer. Funny thing is, it's dwarven make... so for its size it's meant to be used as a two-hander. Dad was jealous when he saw me swinging it with one."

"So many to choose from, but I'd have to say the city of Athkatla was unlike any other city I've visited. Such unique architecture and fashion, beautiful vibrant colours everywhere.

This is of course ignoring the day I spent in jail because I didn't know magic is forbidden there..."

"Honestly, that's something I struggle with a lot. As a Cleric I try to prioritise healing and support first, but I have a tendency to get carried away in the heat of combat. Once I'm locked in with an enemy I find it hard to stop until they're down... a bit of a flaw from my orcish side I guess."

"Best way to eat bacon? By the handful!

Haha... Jokes aside, for me nothing beats a stack of bacon pancakes. It's a combination fit for the gods."

She downs the entire mug once more and glances down at her arm stump.

"It was a miracle all I lost was an arm. Next time, I dunno if I'll be so lucky."

-with promises of fulfilling your deepest desires, before slowly transforming you into a fish person.

And the worst part? You can't truly kill them. Destroy their physical form and they'll just reform again in the Plane of Water, and one day they'll come back for you when you least expect it."

She takes a swig of the fresh mug of ale.

"...You ever seen an Aboleth? Huge eldritch abomination from the deep. Lots of tentacles, huge mouth with hundreds of sharp teeth. Old as the gods themselves... some even older. Got psychic powers that can charm you-

(2/2) What she doesn't realise though is that the spell Ethel cast on it allows her and her coven sisters to see through the eye whenever they wish. The sisters absolutely saw Siraan killing Ethel, and they are absolutely plotting their revenge.
