Zahne gets a bigger set of spells from Vhaeraun and can cast silently, as a proper darkmask. It remains to be seen if they've retained that magic while under the Absolute. :^) I see Cally more as someone who is just "in tune" with primal magic for select abilities, instead of casting spells

Currently, the divine part of Aldiirn's magic comes from Vhaeraun, who grants Noxious Step, Invisibility, Disguise Self, and some others, buuut since he relies on that musical focus (and sucks at sneaking) he's kinda disqualified from going far with it.

In true bardic fashion, Aldiirn's magic comes from a little bit of everything. His drow heritage gives him some innate magic. As a teen he was taught divine magic but had a rough time learning. It was music that gave him the focus to feel out arcane potential and give it rhythm. #tavqotd

Lyra's attitude is the norm in the Underdark; if you show vulnerability, people take advantage of it. Aldiirn would do what he can for Lyra without outright telling her he knows: prepare some hearty soups for meals, offer relaxing herbal teas, ask for her help with low-energy tasks, etc #tavqotd

TBH I had to run with headcanons for a lot of god related stuff because there's SO much and it's conflicting or EXPLODED in the Second Sundering. Especially with Vhaeraun and somewhat Eilistraee as their churches are relevant to Aldiirn. Helps that they're messy anywho. #tavqotd

Aldiirn has started over from nothing before, he can do it again. He won’t be happy about it but he doesn’t keep many personal possessions anywho. Just don’t mention his missing haversack with all the prized tokens from delivery clients that represent his status as a courier. #tavqotd

Aldiirn's pants get hit with "Juicy" and he doesn't find out until after act 2, by a fluke. Aldiirn is mortified and a little peeved but Astarion insists he should be forgiven because Aldiirn loves him and isn't love about forgiveness, darling 💖 #tavqotd

Someone gave Astarion a spool of spidersilk thread and he used it to embroider nigh-invisible messages into everyone's clothes! Did he hit your tav/durge with something not-so flattering, or maybe something affectionate? Does your character ever find out? #tavqotd
"Daddy's Boy," "Shar's Favourite Princess," and "Mystra's Pet" embroidered into Wyll, Shadowheart, and Gale's clothes, respectively.

No good deed goes without shenanigans. At least Astarion's finding ways to be a little shit without bloodshed... #bg3 #art 🍄 More Comics 🍄 Patreon 🍄 Ko-Fi 🍄
Baldur's Gate 3 fan comic. "Guys! Look!" Karlach grabs everyone's attention while holding her favourite teddy bear aloft. "Fangs gave Clive glowing claws and a heart that lights up when I do!"

Indeed, embroidered patches on the teddy bear glow with a pulse that matches that of Karlach's infernal engine.

"It's so adora-tastic I could explode!"

"Something to celebrate your newfound ability to not explode," Astarion chimes in, ready to be showered with praise. "A clever use of spidersilk on my par--"

And the wind is crushed out of Astarion when Karlach grabs him in a big bear hug. "You're the best! C'mere!"

Aldiirn can't help but smile at seeing Astarion help another companion - and maybe also at the side of his legs ragdolling around in Karlach's enthusiastic embrace.

Wyll also smiles at the show. "As one heart slows its terrible burn, another sparks with warmth. Your generosity is rubbing off on Astarion."

"I only gave him the tools and space, it was all on him to decide how to use them," Aldiirn says.

"Don't sell your influence so short," Wyll chides, "I never would have expected the Astarion I first met would freely repair my threadbare clothes. He took his sewing kit and went out of the way for half the camp."

Wyll's last words give Aldiirn a sinking feeling as he catches a glint of something on Wyll's back...There, barely catching the light on the back of Wyll's crop top are the words "Daddy's Boy" in an elegant cursive. Aldiirn immediately recognizes it as spidersilk embroidery, nearly invisible when used so finely, unlikely to be noticed unless one was looking for it...

Snooping around the rest of the camp, Aldiirn spots "Shar's Favourite Princess" written on Shadowheart's top and "Mystra's Pet" embroidered into Gale's adventuring robes. Aldiirn dares not get close enough to Lae'zel to look for any words on the narrow bands of her top harness, but he's sure Astarion must have made cheeky additions to everyone's clothes.

Aldiirn sequesters himself inside his tent and shoves aside enough of the overgrown fungi to lay his shirt flat. He conjures Dancing Lights and crouches low over his shirt to look for any words that might light up.

"Using an entire spool of spidersilk for a prank is one thing, but all in one rest?" Aldiirn mutters to himself, "I underestimated the time he has when he doesn't hunt...

"He must have run out of one of the other before getting to my clothes," Aldiirn concludes, not realizing he's been looking on the wrong article and that "juicy" is written across the seat of his pants.

Aldiirn likes to play with the curls in Astarion's hair, or if he's feeling especially daring, hold hands. 😳 #tavqotd Astarion's the handsy one, he loves all the softest, squeeziest parts of Aldiirn, especially if he can get a little "eep" out of him 😈

As a teen, Aldiirn was thrown to giant spiders and luckily rescued before they could make a meal of him. Still, the venom left a large a scar and damaged his eye. He's mindful of how much shows; too much and other underfolk mistake him for a slave, but it gets pity points from topsiders. #tavqotd

The core party for most of the campaign was Holly, Chanel, and Hank. Players came and went due to life stuff, it happens, but we were able to bring back everyone for the final battle and it was so much fun. I played Chanel, but I gotta say that Holly was the heart of the party all the way.

Mal finds Aldiirn amongst the wreckage, looking for other survivors. Aldiirn hopes that finding two more (half-) kin would appeal to the drow, but if not, it's worthwhile to search for valuable salvage given that all they have are the clothes on their backs. #tavqotd

Aldiirn is experienced enough to know that he doesn't like sex, it's just something to be tolerated if he wants to be in a relationship... which he'd sworn off for a few years before BG3. Got pretty good at dodging propositions, though sometimes he wished the mindflayers had killed him haha #tavqotd

When every meal is Oops! All Mushrooms and 5 Meat Stew, it kinda sucks to lose one of the precious few options. It's about time I drew Grillach 😂#bg3 #art 🍄 More Comics 🍄 Patreon 🍄 Ko-Fi 🍄
Baldur's Gate 3 fan comic. The companions huddle together and observe Aldiirn cooking alone, conspiring in hushed tones amongst themselves.

Astarion asks, "Why isn't Gale cooking?"

"He has confined himself to his tent," Lae'zel answers.

"I asked Aldiirn if he would like for me to take over the meat dishes," says Wyll, "but he insisted I relax and wait for him to finish some ripplebark steaks."

"No one except those two get near the cooking fire," Shadowheart remarks.

Karlach begins, "that means...""We're having nothing but mushrooms for dinner!" everyone bemoans.

"There hasn't been a normal veggie on our plates since we entered the underdark!"

"A warrior requires meat for sustenance!""Guys!" Karlach pipes up, "I know how we can get meat back on the menu. Who here knows how to grill?"Hidden by shrubbery, Wyll happily flips some beef steaks sizzling on Karlach's fiery hot backside. Lae'zel finishes off some kebabs while Shadowheart keeps watch that Aldiirn won't find them. Astarion, while not needing to eat, always enjoys sneaking around and takes up sewing repairs into Karlach's stuffed teddy, Clive.

If you spot Aldiirn killing a crewmate, he WILL convince everyone to eject you instead. He dominates the meetings but isn't great at the gameplay, so best to kill him first if he's a crewmate. If you can stand to slice up those big adorable eyes, you jerk. #tavqotd

Doing some lovely mushroom foraging in the Underda-- errrr, Aldiirn's tent. Buddy, you live like this??? #bg3 #art 🍄 More Comics 🍄 Patreon 🍄 Ko-Fi 🍄
Baldur's Gate 3 fan comic. Aldiirn whistles as he squeezes his way through a thick forest of giant mushrooms, intent on foraging for dinner.He happily plucks some glowcaps and browncaps, it's no problem pulling away from the sticky stringspore that tries to pull him inNor is it a problem to collect some torchstalk spores for seasoning, especially not for someone who was blessed with the ability to not trigger the explosive fungi, and who definitely isn't about to get jumped by a baby hook horror...Cough, cough! Aldiirn stumbles out of his tent, forage in one hand, hook horror in the other, and smoke streaming out behind him. His tent is so utterly overgrown with fungi that it's less a shelter and more a portable pocket of Underdark!

Aldiirn turns into the freaking Shamwow guy when he flirts, upselling the other person more than the gifts haha. He doesn't like flirting openly or public displays so it's usually in some cheeky manner he could deny if needed. #tavqotd
Aldiirn doesn't miss a beat insisting the cheese was worthwhile. “You saw that the camp was missing certain supplies and went out of your way to fill that gap. Restocking our cheese meant a lot to me personally since my food options are more limited that most. It's fine if it was a one-off, but so long as you contribute you'll get something equitable in return.”

Astarion wishes Aldiirn was still just upselling him, but that smile is dreadfully honest.

Aldiirn gestures back to the pack. “These consumables haven't seen much use, but as our ranged specialist I think you'll be able to make the most of them. Try the Oil of Diminuation with one of your Arrows of Many Targets!”

“I see…!” Astarion holds the oil up, now piecing together its full potential. “And I was ready to write it off as a cheap trick.”

“Oh!” Aldiirn acts like he suddenly remembers something, “I have a special introductory bonus, something from me to you…”

Astarion swears he caught Aldiirn blush for a moment.

Aldiirn presents a new item, “A high quality sewing kit from the finest textile drow merchant clan!” He opens the spider-web shaped clamshell, revealing ornate metal tools and spools of thread held by strings of the web embroidery. “These tools are guaranteed to feel weightless in the skilled hands of an experienced tailor such as yourself, and remain forever as sharp as your fangs.”

Astarion barely has time to absorb the delicate detailing before Aldiirn is bringing out another item.

“And to go with it–”“A spool of spidersilk thread that can invisibly mend any textile stronger than it was before!” Aldiirn holds the greyish, translucent spool in one hand while plucking the end away with the other, unspooling a little, and casting Dancing Lights in a practiced motion. The near-invisible thread lights up, all the way back to the entire spool! “Or pair with a light to dazzle and delight! I'm sure someone with your fine eye for embellishment can find some clever uses.”

Astarion takes the rewound spool. Oh yes, he can already think of the possibilities. He shoots Aldiirn a wry grin, “These are very fine materials indeed… and fine praise. While I'm not above soaking it up, I can't shake the feeling I'm being upsold to.”

“You got me!” Aldiirn folds with the cutest little laugh.

But then all the fun and smiles of the sales pitch are quickly replaced with complete seriousness. Aldiirn continues, “I want to stress everything is yours to keep and so with as you will, no matter how you respond. I have a plan that may strike a sensitive chord for you. I'd like your input before proceeding.”

The change in mood is unnerving, but at least the language will be plain. “Well then. Let's hear how bad it is.”

Baldur's Gate 3 fan comic. "Dammon is good, no doubt, but he's still only one blacksmith working with improvised tools," Aldiirn plans while flipping through his extensively tabbed log book. "I know some metallurgists experienced with infernal materials, I'll reach out to see if they have any insight on your engine. It will take time to hear back from the Northdark, you might need to return to Avernus te--"

"No." Karlach cuts Aldiirn off with one heavy syllable. "Not happening. I'm never going back."Aldiirn's bright customer service smile is replaced with a cautious look upwards at his much larger companion. "It wouldn't be for long, only to buy time to find a permanent fix to your engine."

"Zariel will be on my ass as soon as I step one foot into Avernus!" Karlach's face twist in as much rage as fear. "I won't be looking over my shoulder every day not knowing if I get to go home the next!"

Aldiirn pipes up, "There are ways to avoid detection, the alternative is--"Karlach cuts Aldiirn off again before he can say the damning word, but this time reaching out with softness. "I get it, Porter, you don't want to lose anyone else. But let me enjoy this, I can hold people again, thanks to you! Maybe I can even knock some sense into that feisty little friend of yours. Sound good?"

"...Sounds good," he answers after a moment.Karlach walks away, leaving Aldiirn to ponder with his log book. She hasn't explicitly cancelled the order to fix her engine, just added a new condition...

"Contact Beggar's Brew for smiths and artificers in Baldur's Gate," Aldiirn scrawls into his log, if he can find a fix in time without bothering Karlach about it, maybe she can be saved after all.

Baldur's Gate 3 fan comic. "So, what will you do now that your engine is cooled?" Aldiirn asks as he and Karlach step out of Dammon's workshop.

"Touch EVERYTHING!" Karlach shouts with jubilation. "Gods! I can't believe it finally happened! I can pet puppies and owlbeards, arm wrestle with Lae, I should'a made a list!"Aldiirn jumps at the mention of a list and whips out his logbook. "Never too late to start a to-do list! What's item one?"

"Check it off, it's right in front of me!" Karlach takes a step towards Aldiirn, towering over him."Miss Karlach??" Aldiirn chokes out, fighting the urge to run

"Something I've been dying to do since we met--" her smile looms closer, clawed hands closing in..."Chubby cheeks! They're so cute and pinchable!" Karlach screams while pinching Aldiirn's soft li'l face and mushing his cheeks around. At least Aldiirn will live through this.

"Only one way to find out!" Dammon smiles.Aldiirn doesn't hesitate, his review on the delivery of Infernal Iron is at stake, he steels himself and throws his arms wide -- to hug Karlach's huge burly body with all the force his squeaky little form can muster."It's happening!" Karlach trembles, "It-it's really happening!"

And she hugs Aldiirn as tight as she can - too tight - and starts dancing and spinning on the spot. "You're hugging me! I'm hugging you!"

Baldur's Gate 3 fan comic. "Stick behind Mama K!" Karlach bellows, putting herself between the winged horrors and the cleric Isobel. Aldiirn and Wyll use shields to cover her flanks. "These fuckers won't lay a claw on you!"But the sight of the horde makes Isobel panic. "There's too many, I have to get out!"Isobel runs - right into Marcus, the cultist sent to kidnap her. 

"General Ketheric is eager to see you, Isobel," Marcus taunts as the Winged Horrors close in on her.Luckily, before the mob can kidnap Isobel but after they've already nearly knocked her out, big Mama K bowls over the entire mob and beat them to a bloody pulp.

Aldiirn lends a hand to help Isobel back up, "Please be mindful of your position in battle."

"I'm okay," she manages to say through dazed bruising.

The Harpers occupying Last Light Inn have numbers, but lack first hand knowledge of the cult the party has. It won't do for Astarion's stink face to upset negotiations with the High Harper. "If the talks are too bothersome, why not go outside, check their supply stores, and report back to me?"

"Fine, fine," Astarion drawls and heads out, "I shall fetch a clipboard."Outside, Astarion gets busy rummaging through all the storage crates piled up. "Check their supplies and report back," he mocks, "Aldiirn can even make a little theft sound boring."Jackpot! A magical life-stealing sword. "Still, it's more fun out here than in there!" He says, entirely unaware of the winged horrors descending to attack the inn.
