Baldur's Gate 3 Starters (part 2)

❛ you have no power over me. ❜ // @starlyht { sol'rys }

Nere laughs, loud and sudden and sharp. It is neither a kind nor a happy sound, a fact that likely becomes as apparent with the disdainful expression as he regards the other male drow.

"You say that as though I should wish to make such a claim," Nere answers, shaking his head.

"What need have I for a sellsword when I am no doubt just as adept—if not more so—in battle? You far overestimate your importance."

"And yet! perhaps it is Baenre with whom you intended to speak, and wished only my critique on the delivery of such a proclamation. If that is the case, I would recommend having a blade at the ready. You might need it."

The  best  revenge  is  not  to  be  like  your  enemy.

The  best  revenge  is  living  well.

Unfortunately,  we're  all  out  of  'bitter  revenge'  at  the  moment,  so  it's  either  tea  or  nothing.

Revenge,  the  sweetest  morsel  to  the  mouth  that  ever  was  cooked  in  hell.

Revenge  may  be  wicked,  but  it’s  natural.

Tell  me,  Is  revenge  a  science,  or  an  art?

Beware  the  fury  of  a  patient  man.

Careful,  [Name].  You’re  ill-suited  to  the  revenge  game.

Revenge  is  not  sweet;  it  is  gloomy  and  a  waste  of  time.

Our  souls  may  be  consumed  by  shadows,  but  that  doesn't  mean  we  have  to  behave  as  monsters.

There  is  no  such  thing  as  justice,  all  the  best  that  we  can  hope  for  is  revenge.

Justice,  like  beauty,  is  in  the  eye  of  the  beholder.  Some  see  an  innocent  victim.  Others  will  see  evil  incarnate  getting  exactly  what's  deserved.

There  is  nothing  wrong  with  revenge.  The  wrong  has  already  been  done,  or  there  would  be  no  need  to  even  the  score.

Let  the  flames  begin.

I  swore  on  my  knees  at  the  altar  where  you  held  me  that  I  would  kill  you. 

I  will  hurt  you  for  this.  I  don't  know  how  yet,  but  give  me  time. 

I  want  to  commit  the  murder  I  was  imprisoned  for.

And  you,  you  better  run  because  I'm  going  to  destroy  you  for  what  you've  taken  from  me.

I  will  write  your  name  in  the  ruin  of  them.  I  will  paint  you  across  history  in  the  color  of  their  blood.

If  someone  murders  your  child,  find  a  machete  and  take  his  head  off.

Revenge  is  what  I  want.  Nothing  but  pure  unadulterated  revenge. 

An  eye  for  an  eye  is  never  enough.  Never,  never,  never.

I  will  grind  your  bones  to  dust.

If  you  have  to  injure  someone,  then  make  it  so  severe  that  his  vengeance  need  not  be  feared.

The  hour  is  late,  and  the  time  for  forgiveness  has  passed.  This  is  the  hour  of  blood.

I  will  be  everywhere  you  look  but  nowhere  to  be  found  and  that  will  be  my  revenge.

I'm  going  to  carve  my  name  into  his  soul

You  don’t  have  any  reason  to  be  mad  at  me.  You  stole  my  life  and  I  stole  it  back.

At the slur, the totally unabashed vitriol of the ignorant or perhaps the willfully stupid, Nere's own expression darkens as the sky before a storm, crimson eyes flashing dangerously as they narrow. Drawing up to his full height, he lowers his head to make a point of looking down at the other.

"You are the one who should show caution, fool. What-ever your alleged power, it would be a difficult feat indeed to cast your paltry spells with neither tongue nor hands."

LORROAKAN'S SELF-IMPORTANT expression darkened, hazel eyes narrowing.

"Careful, underelf," he hissed, his tone dripping with venom. The way he spat the word carried all the disdain he harbored for their kind ——cave-dwelling savages, as far as he was concerned. "Lest I decide to end your pitiful existence."

He raised his chin, arrogance shielding his ire. "...Consider yourself fortunate that we have need of you intact," he sneered, gesturing dismissively in the drow's direction. Taunting. Smug. "Deluded and, ah, confused as you are, there is still a chance — however slim — that you might prove useful."

"Release me at once, you utterly wretched creature! I will not tell you again!"

"You are no vampire---spawn or otherwise---to require any consideration be given in pardoning such barbaric behaviors, and they will not be tolerated!"

I would say that I'm sorry, but we all know that I'm not.

Raphael strode into the chamber, his presence crackling with an electric hunger that filled the air. His auburn eyes glowed as he spread his arms wide, a wicked grin carving across his face. “Ah, little soul” he purred, gesturing grandly, “the night is calling, and I, like the wolf, run the show. Tell me, are you ready? Ready to be rocked like a hurricane? To feel the fire and lust that can’t be caged, to lose yourself in a chaos you’ll never recover from? Come now, don’t keep me waiting—it’s time for a show.”

Nere does not move. For a moment that is far longer than he would care to admit, he does nothing at all except to stare... until the moment that he moves beyond his disbelief to process what he had heard.

It is an almost herculean task, to halt the sneer that threatens to appear at being so basely propositioned, and by such a being as this, no less. It only further rankles him that the other seems of the opinion that he is simply irresistible.

Still... it would serve him well to display at least some level of civility in the presence of this creature, rather than to freely show the utter revulsion he feels at being treated thus again.

"It was my understanding that you had matters of some manner of import to discuss. But if this is all it was that you desired, you would have been better served to say as much from the start as I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request."

That... was civil, wasn't it?

Can’t properly explain it, but “I like this character”, “I like how this character is written” and “I care about this character” are 3 very different things which may or may not overlap.

Giving Companion!Nere the Sussur Bark Greatsword is just -chef's kiss- Why? you might you ask. "So, you can't cast more than basic magic again because you're no longer a warlock of the Absolute? Here, take this sword. Use that right and the other person won't be able to use magic either." 😊

Consider it a personal blessing.
