#TavQOTD #Tavember 1/? Boris' pack has quite a few things, from extra clothing for himself and his companions (anyone who needs them really) and potions to arrows and poisons. On top of that, he eventually gets a chest during the tadpole journey that has even *more* camp supplies and weapons.
#TAVEMBER Day#27: Backpack

A fun one!! What is in your Tav/Durge’s backpack?

They keep certain potions, jewelry, lucky coins, religious items, change of underwear, etc?

🍄‍🟫: Do they have a private chest in camp where they hoard things for themselves?

#TavQOTD #Tavember 1/? A quote from Boris: "May your foes fear the storm that is your fury."

A quote from elsewhere that I associate with Boris: "How do you become someone that great, that brave, that selfless? I guess you can only try." - Hiccup, HTTYD 2
#TAVEMBER Day#26: Quote

What is your Tav/Durge’s iconic quote? Or a quote from another media that describes them?

[ If this is a quote from in game setting please give context too 💜 ]

🍄‍🟫: What is their iconic catchphrase?

#BG3OCxOCWeek #NSFW 1/3 Day 3: First Gift, feat @ishi-amai.bsky.social Darius!

Today there's some spice, with Sabre all to eager to opened and explored like a gift. "Not to toot my own horn, I like to think of myself as quite the present...n' speakin' of horns, I'm quite the screamer," Sabre purrs.

#BG3OCxOCWeek 1/? Day 2: First Date/Hangout, feat. @ishi-amai.bsky.social Darius!

Today we have:

#Tavember #TavQOTD 1/3 Sabre is almost always in his Druid garbs. For special occasions, he has some fancy outfits friends and old exes got him long ago. His flirting style is very...open and raunchy. While the raunchy part always gets Boris flustered, the open part was great: Boris was *very*...
#TAVEMBER Day#25: Style

What is your Tav/Durge’s style? Their fashion sense, the way they write, how they carry themselves, how they talk to people, etc.

🍄‍🟫: What is their flirting style? Did it work on their partner?

#TavQOTD #Tavember 1/? For Boris, one hobby that carried over from childhood is hunting. However, his current favorite hobby is knitting. He often makes knitted things for Sabre's Wild Shapes and the various plushies Sabre gets him.

One of Sabre's favorite hobbies is drawing, which stems from...
#TAVEMBER Day#24: Pastime

What is your Tav/Durge’s favorite pastime? [hobby] What is one they had as a kid?

Maybe they like to spar, draw, fish, hunt, etc.

🍄‍🟫: Do they share this pastime with their partner or do their partner/friends engage in it with them?

#TavQOTD Boris would taste like a refreshing fruit salad.

Sabre would taste like those chocolate candies that have fruit filling.
November 23, 2025 at 8:00 PM
#TavQOTD 1/2 "Aye, love in it's cruelest form: Grief."

Sabre has dealt with grief alone for most of his life, both because there really was no one he could lean on and he doesn't want to bring others down just because *he's* feeling down. So he tends to go somewhere no one would find him to weep...
November 22, 2025 at 11:03 PM
#TavQOTD #Tavember 1/? Boris finds both beauty and ugliness in humanity, like two sides of a coin. A group of people banding together to make change? That's beautiful, until it turns out that change is terrible, like taking money from the poor or destroying orphanages to make way for businesses.
#TAVEMBER Day#23: Beauty

What is your Tav/Durge’s idea of beauty?

The sight of blood, flowers in the moonlight, scales on a dragon, gold and jewels, etc

🍄‍🟫: What would they consider ugly? Can something become ugly to them that was beautiful?

#TavQOTD 1/2 Boris would be a dragon, using his mighty wings to shield allies or carry them to safety and lighting breath to destroy enemies.

Sabre would either be a griffon or a chimera, defending the weak and wrecking havoc on the corrupt. Should he be the only one on scene, know that Boris is...

#TavQOTD Boris brings venison he hunted and cooked himself and potato salad that he made with Sabre's help.

Sabre is all too happy to bring desert: Chocolate cake with chocolate chip cookies on top! Oh, and the cake has chocolate filling in the middle. And chocolate rum to wash it all down!
#tavqotd Having a Friendsgiving dinner! What’s your tav/durge bringing?

Calliope is happy to host and is prepping some fresh fish and seasoned lamb from the market!
November 22, 2025 at 3:49 AM
#TavQOTD 1/2 Boris *would* go for a basic hot chocolate, but Sabre won't allow that. He's getting a very fancy looking hot chocolate instead, somehow topped off with whipped cream and *shredded gold*. Sabre has only told Boris the recipe and he made him promise not to share it with anyone.
#tavqotd

It's too cold today! Let's have hot chocolate!

How does your tav/durge like theirs?

Mal likes his with a ton of marshmallows. And with cookies to go with it.
November 22, 2025 at 3:45 AM
#TavQOTD #Tavember 1/2 Sabre treats most dangerous situations as just another chapter in his story, hopefully one he'll be alive to tell. The tadpole adventure was only slightly different: It was also what pushed him back into the dating game, just in case things went south. That, and seeing a...
#TAVEMBER Day#22: POV

What’s your Tav/Durge’s POV [their individual understanding of a situation]?

This is how they viewed the companions, the quests, their journey - their own obligations weighting, etc.

🍄‍🟫: How did their view evolve over the journey?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 22, 2025 at 3:37 AM
#TavQOTD #Tavember 1/? Boris frequently pushes his own physical limits, much to Sabre's dismay. It has made him quite resilient over the years but it was at the cost of sacrificing sleep. A sleep deprived Boris isn't nearly as nimble or aware of his surroundings, resulting in a few bumps...
#TAVEMBER Day#21: Limit

What is your Tav/Durge’s limit?

This can be their emotional/mental or physical limit, hard boundaries, situational/social/etc.

What pushes them over?

🍄‍🟫: Have any of the companions or NPCs pushed them to or beyond their limit?

#TavQOTD 1/2 Boris is very stealthy thanks to his clan's training. If he doesn't want to be seen, he won't. That said, a failed stealth check probably manifests as him falling out of a tree or not moving quickly enough between the branches, resulting in him getting caught. He might've accidentally..
#tavqotd

How stealthy is your tav/durge?

What happens if they fail that stealth check?

Mal could sneak up on someone and they wouldn't notice until their throat was cut.

But failing a check once got him polymorphed into a small jumping spider by Halsin. To teach him not to sneak up on people.

#TavQOTD #Tavember Neither Boris or Sabre currently have tattoos but I've been dabbling with the idea of Boris getting an eagle soaring with a rose in its talons or a bear resting in a bed of roses. They're meant to represent Sabre and Rose.
#TAVEMBER Day#20: Tattoo

Does your Tav/Durge have/want tattoos? What is their significance? When do they get them? Are they symbols, do they cover scars, are they magical?

🍄‍🟫: if they do not have any - what would they get if they were going to get one?

#BG3 #TavQOTD
November 19, 2025 at 10:35 PM
#TavQOTD 1/2 Boris' strangest request was someone asking him to step on them. He obliged after doubl-checking, gently stepping on the tip of their shoes. He immediately walked away when they said "harder, and lose your clothes while you're at it." It didn't help that this was a noble.
November 19, 2025 at 9:34 PM
#TavQOTD 1/3 Boris prefers to walk away. He's angry, sure, but that anger can be used towards something actually worth his time, like dispatching bandits or moving things out the way. But if he can't, he'll deal with it until he's fed up, in which case, he'll snap. He may just say "watch your...
November 19, 2025 at 9:21 PM
#TavQOTD #Tavember 1/? Boris' main motives are his loved ones, not wanting them to become or fall to Mind Flayers. The rest of the world succumbing to such a fate is also pretty bad...

Oh, *him* having any of that happen to him? That's only bad because who would look after his grown daughter?
#TAVEMBER Day#19: Motive

What is your Tav/Durge’s motive for the events? What keeps them moving?

Think like a desire to see home again, to rule the world, etc.

🍄‍🟫: what is their secondary motive? This would be something of lesser extent like helping their LI.

#TavQOTD #Tavember 1/? Sabre has a weakness for alcohol, especially expensive vintage wine. He might not spill secrets in return but he'll definitely sit down to drink it! 300+ years of far too many attempts on his life has at least made him aware that his drinks could be poisoned, so he did take...
#TAVEMBER Day#18: Weak

What makes your Tav/Durge weak?

This can be physical, emotional, morally, sexually, etc. Think like a physical shortcoming or something simple like a weakness for a type of food or activity.

🍄‍🟫: What makes them ‘weak in the knees’?
