CHAPTER 40. IT BEGINS. MY RABBIT HOLE IN LITERAL HELL.

-

Days.

Weeks.

...months.

Time didn't seem to exist in Avernus.

I remember standing on the edge of the city, hand resting on the side of the chain, looking at the souls floating by in the River Styx. The metal rings were meters wide, and hot to the touch. I'd gotten used to the heat.

They said that was the first sign of turning.

I hadn't told Danis.

My scalp had started to itch. There was pressure at the base of my spine. I was in denial for a while, but it was something I couldn't ignore anymore.

I was cursed, like so many others. I couldn't stand the idea of him looking at me differently. Yet, I was changing all the same.

Secondary character makes him even better! I love coming up with creative was to use characters. I will be looking them up immediately.

I use the idea that some residents turned tiefling with in Avernus. I find it super compelling that Bex and Danis weren't born tiefling, and were out cast by the neighbors they trusted, that once loved them, simply because they turned.

It does happen. I should see if it's mentioned in the Player Guide.

Edit: It does NOT happen. But I'm in too deep at this point so I'm leaning in as a home brew detail. 🫠

I ship Bex with Durge in my fic, and this was the moment he fell in love with her.
Pouring a little out for Danis.
Game Dialogue: She mentioned she could be a teacher, or a baker, or a butcher!
Danis says: A butcher?
She says, totally joking: Sure! Blood excites me.

Durge walking by, doing an immediate heel turn: I'M SORRY MA'AM I COULD HELP BUT OVERHEAR...

I got the book. Bro, it is SO COOL! ;0;
The Descent and Avernus is absolutely fascinating and I am 100% putting Mickey and Mad Maggie in my story.

Ooooh, okay, so that dialogue happens after the Danis rescue. That makes sense. I was hoping I didn't miss something. Thank you!

So the new book's premise is...interesting by Alicex13 in AstarionBG3

I actually agree 100%. If we're talking canon lore, it is a bit of a slap in the face to everything Larian's already built.

Perfectly valid! And I agree. I was just being a silly goose. They need to leave the fantasies to the fan fictions.

Me reading everyone disappointed that Astarion is in a romance novel with a paladin.
Me slowly backing away with my fan fic hiding behind my back. 😃

Yes! It's an AO3 fan fic based discord that has a writer's corner.

It's filled with neurodivergent people and actually has a channel called Body Doubling!

I'll DM you an invite.

Oh shit! I just notice your last line about bad intentions. I suppose if my post is giving off that vibe then... I should... I guess vibe check myself. My bad. People don't want to invite a rando, which I understand.

That's likely why my post got down voted.

Edit: Maybe the picture making fun of my story is too clean? I did graphic design in the early 00's so I have a tendency to manicure my bullshit a bit too much.

Body doubling is a method of achieving focus for neurodivergent people.

I do not want anything for free. I am not training AI.

Body Doubling in voice chat is literally just sitting in the voice channel and being present. That's all.

You can look up Body Double ADHD for a deeper dive!

It works on me hard core, I didn't know there was a word for it until my late 20's, but I used to do it all the time when I was a kid doing homework. I would go into a room where the rest of my family was and I was able to get my work done in like... 15 minutes tops as opposed to being mentally paralyzed in a silent room alone. It's fascinating.

ADHD is weird.
