do you have a character who wears plate armor... are you making sure to take advantage of the opportunities, necessity even, for human intimacy that come with how deeply impractical and difficult it is to equip without help. who's dressing your warriors??🎤🫵

Ways Emrys Will Sabotage Asshole Arisen:
Are you an asshole Arisen who spits on the poor and needy, throws their Pawns down chasms for them to catch you, and steals candy from kids? Then this informative guide of what to watch out for might be for you!
Now, Emrys isn't actually inclined towards killing most Arisen himself (usually). I like to think there's something intrinsic to being a Pawn that makes that very hard to do, which only adds to his hatred towards Arisen.
He will however find ways to make the lives of Asshole Arisen difficult. And in the cases of extremely shitty Arisen, he does start to flex a bit of that tiny will of his to... try to end their lives. :') Here's a non-comprehensive list of just some of the ways Emrys will be A Little Shit.
Logistician? Starting out Emrys will be a very good and helpful pawn, always organizing packs and making sure weight is evenly distributed. However he will later start sneaking rotten meat into an unsuspecting Arisen's pack, making them Target #1 for wargs and wolves. (Emrys, holding his hand over his eyes watching the Arisen get carried away by wolves "Look at 'em go...")
Chirurgeon? Especially in the event there are no healers or chirurgeons, he will claim to have some familiarity with such matters, enough that you can rely on him. Yes, give him all of your potions... And he will effectively make use of them! At first. He will also discreetly be pouring a portion of them out, chalking it up to 'that one taxing battle'. And then, just when the Arisen needs it most... 🤷♂️
Enemy of my enemy... Sometimes the quickest way to deal with an Arisen is simply to whisper word to one of the guards. Whether it's just getting rid of them for a few hours, days, or forevermore, well that depends on the weight of your crimes, doesn't it Arisen?
May accidentally fire an arrow into a nearby saurian nest, or tip off nearby goblins when in the midst of an already taxing battle.
Valuable items disappearing? A loyal pawn would never! (He's also out there picking up wakestone shards on the sly, not informing the Arisen when they're fully assembled, and using them on poor random souls on the side of the road.)
Negligence. Who would blame a simple pawn for being a little distracted now and again? He was just going to gather some herbs, for the Arisen's sake, how was he to know the Arisen was walking into an ambush? How was he to hear the Arisen's call for aid over the din of battle - he's a pawn he would have responded had he heard of course!
Similarly, he will sometimes fail to guide an Arisen who has ticked him off even if he's the only one who knows what to do next.
When opportunity knocks, accidents happen! So there was a truly difficult battle, everyone is scattered, and it's just the Arisen and Emrys for the moment. But it's all right, he's great at reading the lay of the land and is certain he knows where the others are, just follow him, Arisen! ...*
Rare. If they've caught him with actual, more-severe-than-his-norm dragonsplague symptoms, he may just straight up kill the Arisen. If he's already moody and irritable, and the Arisen is showing their own signs of being a dick, he may just pull out his hunting daggers and gut a bitch. He may just snipe them in the middle of a fight. (He may even go a bit dragon-mode, but that's for a different post I think.) It goes without saying that sometimes this results in him dying and effectively being dismissed, but them's the breaks.
As with the above, but in even rarer cases, the Arisen might not even have to be an asshole! If the plague symptoms are bad enough, just by being the Arisen and calling upon him, all they have to do is irritate him a little more - which can be a hair trigger. Again, extremely rare, but it has happened a time or two.
It's worth noting he's been at this a while, he knows not to overplay his hand, and will typically only do these things if he can go undetected/get away with it. He waits, watches, and maintains the image of a good pawn most of the time.
If an Arisen is truly abusive towards other Pawns, he'll generally use one of several strategies to get their attention on him instead, be it 'being a bit of a dumb/ass' to 'outright seducing them' or anything in between. Anything but getting himself dismissed sooner, less he be unable to do anything to help the others.
*I have the very specific scene in my head of Emrys leading a battle-weary Arisen over a ledge, and that Arisen bleeding out at the bottom of a cliff. They reach out towards him and he just slowly crouches down, covering their mouth so they cannot issue any orders, waiting until they succumb to their wounds.
Alternatively, if he's feeling a bit more rebellious (the longplague is acting up, there's no way he'll obey commands) he just watches and listens to their feeble pleas for help as he pours a potion out and drinks in the sight of dread realization filling their eyes. 😌

Nikolai Castell: An Arisen of ages long passed, and Emrys's original master. After his parents perished to plague, he raised his younger brother Ambrose alone - though not without assistance from his childhood friend and sweetheart Lorraine. The three were close, and Nikolai was lauded as their villages most talented warrior. Charismatic, good-humored, quick with a joke or to lend a hand, he was much beloved - but he would eventually become bitter and jealous of his younger brothers own growing talents. He recommended Ambrose enlist in the military - and it was due to this he perished in the dragons attack.
Overcome with anguish and guilt, he vowed to kill the dragon, and it was not long after setting out to do so that he was marked as Arisen. The Pawn he summoned only naturally took the form of the visage that haunted his guilt-ridden mind, that of his brother, Ambrose. For a time he was overjoyed, believing some magic had gifted his brother back to him. Being a 'pawn' was simply side note, his strangeness was to be expected and surely in time he would return to normal...
Lorraine Harland: A talented mage from a young age, Lorraine was ambitious and free-spirited - as much a worthy candidate to become Arisen as her beloved. Her greatest regret was that she went to seek tutelage during the time a rift had begun to grow between the Castell brothers, and thus was not there to prevent the tragedy that would unfold. Yet with the skills she had honed, she vowed to aid Nikolai in defeating the dragon and avenging Ambrose.
Though she understood that the pawn Nikolai summoned was not truly Ambrose returned to them, she found it difficult to talk sense into her lover, let alone desire to. In time, she too, would sometimes get swept up in the fantasy of their brothers return, only to herself become despondent seeing Nikolai's mental well-being gradually decay. Their journey was one filled with many hardships, and much sorrow.
Ambrose Castell: A light-hearted, quick-witted young man who had an endless sense of adventure and wonder, it's a tragedy that he was not the one to become Arisen - or perhaps a mercy.
(This is also how Emrys would have looked fresh out of the rift, pre-dragonsplague.)

taking @ritens's Lane out trying to help with sorc brain. not a lot of fun stories from this one, but do have some notes about what did under cut.
He definitely was really spamming just floating around when I first picked him up again, but was better about it when he left (and usually trying to cast while floating when he did), I hope that comes home with him. Generally, caster pawns float trying to get away from enemies, which can kind of make Thundermine and Salamander dodgy on the pawn AI because it casts next to them and usually takes them a while to learn to cast either of those spells without being actively attacked by enemies, and even then they still kind of have to be in danger range of being smacked to be willing. This is also an issue with Iris currently while trying to train his new debilitation focused setup, though he's less likely to float and more likely to get hit and then grab and toss enemies (I blame this on was Mint until recently, and she was so aggressive about everything, Iris is just going to be like that).
LANE REALLY LIKES TO USE HIGH HAGOL. He's very good about using it on his own, and will drop everything if he sees someone else casting it to come sync it. This isn't too bad, High Hagol can be cast with some range and is a decent AOE as well as being possibly quickspelled, but feels like a weird pick for the AI to want to cast with priority when has the much faster casting High Levin available that is better for smaller enemies.
Speaking of High Levin, it took a lot of baiting, but got him more consistently casting it both synced and independently in my game (my favorite in these is the one where can see him independently dropping it right as Rose was getting beat to the ground by goblins). Hopefully he carries that home with him, it's a very solid quick pinch spell that can anti pretty much most non-boss enemies or at least stagger them back until others can get to them.
I stubbornly tried to train him and Iris to use High Seism on bosses more consistently, it's a good spell to use knock them over. Pawn AI is really, really cranky about using it, they both kept wanting to use High Hagol more, including on golems at first. While I didn't get any drake spawns while trying to really train this spell, they did start using it sometimes to tip ogres and minotaurs. They also used it immediately on the last golem I took them to and took out all but one of its medals, then both shoved the golem to knock it over, and Lane independently cast it again to break the last medal that had been on its head. I'll take that as a success, and again hopefully he carries that learning home.
