Dive Deep into Creativity: Discover, Share, Inspire
I'm sure someone's thought of this before and maybe even done something with it, but I've had this idea in my docs and want to share - just about the possibility of an AU where the OUAW crew don't turn in Torbek for whatever reason - maybe they just don't do it in time or they just get super distracted by something or other and forget - and Frost ends up taking his place...
Just pondering about how differently things could have gone, how Frost would have dealt with it as opposed to Torbek. He'd probably handle it a lot better (though there is the very interesting possibility of if he didn't handle it any better) and maybe he'd even learn about the witchlight during the process
It could be kind of funny if he came back wayyyyy sooner than expected because of the way the time slowed and he just managed to finish the entire quest on his own before they even got into the feywild
Butttt, there's also the interesting possibility of that not happening and the crew find him disheveled and affected by the witchlight, perhaps more feral than before. Maybe the first indication is the way his eyes glow pink. Maybe they'd attach the witchlight differently, idk, I haven't thought that far. Maybe he'd be more distant than before, maybe he'd be more clingy. Maybe the witchlight affects him all the same and he attacks them (maybe he knows that he's attacking them but he can't do anything to stop it and he just has to watch), Gricko having to try and tame him like some kind of wild animal - I feel like there are many possibilities and they're all interesting.
Maybe I'll write something about this one day, but I don't know if I could do it justice - but hey, there are some thoughts!
