Right now Israel's bombing Rafah, the last refuge for a million Palestinians, where they were previously ORDERED to evacuate to and are now trapped in while the US news cycle is dominated by Big Football Game And Celebrities In Attendance (at which Israel also aired a million dollar propaganda video). I wish I could say this is unbelievable.

dandelion talks about how when he died it was like he was floating in a sea of black, and the paladin, lafavel, tries to talk him into finding a deity because he's worried about this warlock's soul*

*it doesn't work. dande gets defensively antagonistic

What is this horror that I just woke up to

Firstly, Luka's tattoo has finally been revealed (too bad it's not where I theorized it was...) Unlike the others, one detail is stark this time, that being that he was awake during the entire process. He's not even lying down when it would probably be less (by a pinch) painful, and more efficient if he did. He's watching. Even helping by keeping his shirt up.

And it seems he is still maintaining his heart rate even through the pain.

(And, expectedly he is thin so this would've hurt a lot more. I wouldn't be surprised if keeping him awake was to benefit his ability of endurance)

And we have his mugshot too. there are a lot of scribbles on his page so I tried to decipher the two clearest ones to me

LUKA - 010401 (His ID number)

And alongside that, we finally have the full cast tattoo process. (save my Till loving heart what are they doing to him.) HyunA and the girls on the top and Luka and the boys on the bottom.

On the topic that the Aliens in ALNST are horrible and can't be bothered to even put the pet humans to sleep while going through such a painful process, it doesn't look like Ivan is spared either and was also awake. otherwise, I don't know how he maintained that grip.

There's no telling for sure yet but his grip looks loose, perhaps he has a good pain tolerance.

And Till's picture. I think that's a full-body restraint right there (Like a straight jacket) If he was awake the whole time too then that's probably to be expected. There also seem to be wires around his face? a mouth gag? I can tell his is just...gonna be horrible to look at. (I am going to cause a scene. bashes my head against the concrete ARGH)

And we have everyone's mugshots, Sua -> Mizi-> Till -> Ivan -> Luka -> HyunA

(These were especially hard to read 💀 but they all seem to have their own signatures on their own pictures )

Sua (x2) - 1132 (in the circled area) - 020201 (That's close to her ID number- 020211.) - The rest is indescribable except for the "No"(?)

Another interesting part of this, we're shown Till's part of the Season 50 data book. A lot of the text is scribbled out.

Lyrics to unknown Till the end (And something scribbled out on the top) it looks like a draft copy. I can't tell if much changed from the version we have today..just got to see when the full version is out.

I tried to decipher as much as I could, take this with a grain of salt but his profile (left) is more of a teacher's note, one of his flaws being that he's aggressive, and he has a strong suit in performance. (Heavy emphasis on practicing music because his performance is his strong suit)

The C might be his overall grade, his only passing class was music.

(So many star scribbles..Mizi liked stars)

-

The album cover looks like a Brain (it reminds me of an MRI scan kinda) Is it Till's brain after all the experiments he's been through? if so, I'm not surprised it seemingly has a lot of abnormalities.

Also, the prominent signature in the middle looks a little bit Like Ivan's.

And finally the main piece, Given the similarities in data the person going through the test is still Sua.

The bandaging on her head is very confusing though, (is this the process of creating Anakt's child?) She also looks like she's yelling more than singing in this piece. (with the tight restraints it's hard to even tell but she doesn't look as relaxed as the second picture.)

Mental - Good (despite the red light?)

Cry (singing. maybe.) - Good

This could be in the literal sense that Sua was actually crying during this test, or this phase of the test. But Aliens have a warped perception of human sounds. They call crying, singing so...I don't know. If there was a lot of resistance from Sua during the earlier phases then the bandage is probably there as another restraint..so many restraints.

Some day hundreds of years from now when Laudna is still an undead, undying witch living in a cottage somewhere, animating objects for funsies to keep her company, an adventuring party rocks up on a quest, sent by the current living de Rolo descendant to kill a hag and retrieve a gem that contains the soul of the de Rolos’ greatest nemesis, the one the family was never quite able to completely defeat.

Maybe it’s just me and my Forever DM brain, but seriously look me in the eye and tell me Laudna’s current situation doesn’t sound exactly like a mid-level adventure hook setup for a future Exandrian D&D source book.

Everyone is talking about Astarion’s wonderful plotline, voice, expressions, et cetera et cetera, but no one is talking about what a monster he is in combat. I swear he could 1v3 the rest of my party. Sharpshooter is so busted with dual-wielded hand crossbows and thief rogue, holy shit. Why would I use a bonus action to hide when I have a 95% chance of hitting with a shot that does 1d6+1d4+19 damage (before counting sneak attack) and auto-kills enemies if they have <=10 HP afterwards?

Gloomstalker ranger multiclass means that I get 5 of these attacks on the first turn of combat (actually 7 with bloodlust elixir, i.e. permanent haste that stacks with Haste). Add in 2d6 sneak attack, which will often crit given all those attacks (plus blinding raven familiar + durge cloak invisibility giving advantage) and occasional 1d6 poison damage (if Astarion needed healing for some reason), and he is frequently killing ~200 hp worth of enemies per round.

And with the huge initiative bonus, he usually just wipes them before they even get a turn. Not that them getting a turn would matter—even if they get in range of him, he walks around with 22 AC, a charm reaction, and Protection from Good and Evil giving disadvantage to most everything in Act 2.

And this all consumes 0 resources per fight (though Hasted Astarion is obviously even better). I keep thinking I’ll have to long rest at some point, but I just… don’t. I’ve fought something like 15+ combats today since Act 2 start and everyone is still at full health. One of my short rests I took entirely to renew the charge on a ring of jumping.

I feel like I’m missing out on precious Astarion cutscenes and I have no one to blame but Astarion.

My newest DnD character, Twentyfive! (full name 25883519) (Their shortened name is a reference to the enneagrams 2 and 5). They're a lawful good warforged marine fighter, looking for a new purpose after the end of the Great Reef War and hiding secrets from their past.

[Image ID: A digital drawing of a robotic humanoid made from bronze that is partially patined green. Their arms are oversized and they have glowing green lines on their skin, with matching glowing eyes and tubes down their neck and torso. They have a cloth-wrapped greatsword slung across their back. They have no nose, and their jaw is bulky and hinged. The name "25883519" is written on their arm in common, and they also have a glowing tattoo of a ship helm with a star in the middle. Next to them is a drawing of their greatsword, with a dull-colored steel blade and gold-colored handle. Their name is written in the top of the page. / End ID]
