:angel: Hello, Syvishtar! I am Lord Ventnor, the angel on your shoulder, so to speak. Let me tell you right now: that wild mage is dangerous. If for not your sake, for your friends', don't take him on yet. Wait until you are stronger, then remove his brand of evil from the world.

Anyway, this looks interesting, so I think I'll follow this for a while. Like your update posts, italics will indicate when I'm speaking as a voice in the MC's head.

Also, cat needs a name. I'll push forth Gorion Jr. as a choice.

I'll join others in voting Dreadnought, especially since as jng pointed out, it can cancel out his running away coding.

You can't wear the gold pants? Kind of a shame, although it would be kind of a stupid move (in that your displaying to their old owner that you stole them).

Out of curiosity, would you say Syvishtar worships a god of magic, or magic itself as a force that no entity, god or man, can control?

:angel: Syvishtar, you must now head south. You have chances to do good and right wrongs down there, and your experiences there should help prepare you for the mage who is terrorizing Candlekeep.

:angel: ... I think you should be a little more careful next time, Syvishtar. At any rate, both Imoen and Khalid haven't entirely crossed over yet, so you should be able to raise them. I could feel an aura of evil about the musician, though. Better to leave him dead. Also be wary of Xzar. He may end up turning on you at the worst possible moment.

:angel: Continue South, Shyvishtar. You must end the iron crisis. Also, the magic is telling you it's okay to attack women, as evil is done by both genders. Or it could have no meaning either.

:angel: Shyvishtar, you must kick out Tiax and bring in Viconia. They may both be evil, but at least she isn't in your face about it. Also, bring the berserker on board. More meatshields valued swordsmen are good for your journey.

She's a Viking woman in this mod, for good and ill. She likes fighting, drinking, and flirting. Romance option, though Vorgen will need to raise his rep high enough that Shar-Teel's romance will no longer fire in order to meet Branwen's requirements.

Do it. I cannot abide the current situation.

Honestly, I am kind of interested to see how Shar-teel will react to us becoming respectable.

As such, let Gavin leave for now. He hasn't seen his daughter in how many days? (parental abandonment is not good)

TL;DR, D

Except that if we ditch Viconia, our rep increases to 10 and Shar-Teel stops liking us, since she's only happy at rep 9 or below. So if you want to see the Shar-Teel romance progress, you either need to sink your rep through evil or through paying off a bard, or you need to keep Viconia in the party.

EDIT: To be precise, Viconia imposes a -2 penalty to our reputation just by being in the party, because people are that scared of Drow.

In that case, C, a thousand times C!!!

You know what, let's just head the problem off with B. Shar-teel is creepy and boring now.

I agree with Gavin. The little blood-sucking devil on your thigh says, "Stay away from spiders, for they shall be your party's doom. Always keep at least 2 antidote potions in the party at all times :devil:

:angel: Syvishtar... Er, Syvishtara, do not be quick to try and reverse what has happened to you. The Weave has caused it to happen for a reason; there is something important you must discover about yourself before you change back.

:angel: You must be ready for the days ahead, Syvishtara. Here are the companions who I feel must follow you, and who you must avoid...

+1 Kivan, because murdering bandits is his life purpose and he's really good at it.
+1 Kagain because he's a dwarf, and... yeah, that's it.
+1 Mur'neth because why not a freaky slime dude?
+1 Imoen because a stealthy tactical approach might be needed.

-1 Tiax because he's one-dimensional, and that dimension isn't even that interesting.

I was gonna say it could be worse, then I remembered we're going to be subjected to the imoen romance mod.

If the mod really is as terrible as people say it is, I want it to be a fevered hallucination that Syvishtara has after getting high on the Weave, or something like that. We can see it at the same time while saying it never happened.
