Romantic Encounters: accepting submissions

Sarevok's is pretty graphic, but Cernd's is more of an implied/use your imagination type of thing. If you can even get him that far. I'm not so good at rating graphic-ness, so I wouldn't know what level is "too much" really. It would really depend on the situation/language used.

I really liked the Cernd one. Granted, much of it was implied, but in my opinion, the pre-talk (or is it pro? I've been mixing up pre's and pro's all weekend) and the aftertalk always makes up for such things. Sneaking off into the woods with wolves all around the scene? Brilliant.

 

And personally, I find Xzar scary. I can only imagine the grimace he must pull while shouting "stop touching me!"

 

 

Oh, but how about how he says, "your voice is ambrosia" I LOVE that one!

Oh yeah, that one is true.. he sounds very.. convincing in his praise.. for being a mad Necromancer (who just met someone on a road, that is). But I see your point.

Just throwing this out there, a banter between Safana and Xzar from the BG1 NPC Project.

 

"I’ve noticed that you’ve been avoiding me, ever since <CHARNAME> has brought us together. Can my form be that displeasing to you?"

"Yes... your form is delightfully fleshy. Yet it is so corrupted by vitality, and that lascivious stench it exudes... simply appalling! But I do judge that it should make rather an attractive corpse."

"Ah, as I suspected, a necrophiliac, else you should long ago have come panting to my door."

 

Edit:

Ah, but his interest in the PC would not matter. Only her interest in him. He does want his dear Monty back, now doesn't he...just how badly, I wonder?

 

My mental pictures are scary, even to me.

Holy crap!

[Ankhesenpaaten]

Hah! I guess each writer has their own view. There's no doubt that even Bioware made Xzar crazy.

 

I used to be an embalmer and even tho I was and am fascinated in corpses and such, I am no necrophiliac! I prefer my men alive...

[-JR-]

Hahah, that was great, I'll try out this weird smily thing in celebration.

 

I think it's also implied in that project at least once, by Branwen I think, that Montaron and Xzar are "romantically" involved. It was probably a joke on the part of the writer and/or Branwen, but they don't deny it if I remember right. They're probably the kind of people that are so screwed up they no longer have a sexuality outside of the violent or gross, like many real-life serial killers.

The only one i would reallllllly wanna see in SOA would be PC & Drizzt (yes I’m another sad little fan girl). Though I suppose it would be impossible with Catti (sp*) there....... damn her.

 

I think that there should be some more action in TOB. I mean the all of the TOB ones are great but there are only 5 (correct me if I’m wrong) proper ones.

Heh, that's funny! But again, that's just other writers and new writers certainly don't have do go by past ones. Now, if fitting in with something that is Bioware Canon is different; then you'd have to acknowledge. And mods writing is just that...mod writing. There is always room for interpretation. Xzar just strikes me as a weird geek. And I like weird geeks don't necessarily mean weird sex, if any sex at all. And Bioware never went deep into his real personality so all of this is really just conjecture.

 

Not that I don't find conjecture interesting... BTW, people make assumption about me (for example they assume I am a christian and I'm certainly not...but I don't deny it. I just let them think what they wish.)

I think i would like to see an encounter with Drizzt as well. I really love how they gave him an appearance in both games. At the time when he was supposedly traveling Baldur's Gate and the southern regions, him and Cattibre weren't really a couple, and when they did become a couple they took to pirate hunting on the open sea. I think an RE at this point could be possible if someone thought of a good story.

I'm not sure how important Drizzt timeline is in regard to this, but since they have Wulfgar with them, and he mentions his time in hell merely "as nothing special", it has to be way past his return, when Drizzt and Catti started to develop feelings.

 

Though I'm not sure when this 'encounter' would take place. There is the one meeting, the fight, and then Drizzt and whatever friends still alive leaves.. I guess if you're a female elf, or if he thinks Catti is dead, it would work...

yeah you're right, I forgot. I was thinking more about his encounter in BG1.

[RavenBlack]

Or maybe something more hazardous to the PC... like a deceitful encounter that lands you alone in a torture chamber, forced to be entertainment for those of a less savory nature until at last your party comes to your rescue...

 

OK, maybe not a complete fit and you're all likely going to want to smack me or at the very least go "Eww!" afterward, but I read this and thought of the Illithid dungeon in the Underdark. Maybe I watch too much anime...

Oh, you mean that one. My bad.

And here I thought you meant something about Illithids using slaves to.. create more slaves, if they can't find them adventuring in Underdark. Though I doubt they have a daycare for such things in that city.

 

Well.. this was.. eh, something. Do excuse me.

[Ankhesenpaaten]

I've always thought of, not torture, but of having an encounter with Booter, the torturer in the Thieves Guild. Maybe the two could do something and Booter could talk about his trade and the pc could either say, "cool!" or "ewww." Or something like that. And his sound when he's hit, that "arggggghhhhhh!" is so funny! That could be worked in, maybe.

Hello Friends.

I give the shout-out about the mandatory Keldorn one-night-stand. I mean, it must be made. I am not confident that I can capture his personality, but I think the gist would be that he is so sexually frustrated without his wife that he breaks his paladin resolve and requests a night with a female PC. Whether you reject him or go whole hog, he'd invariably pull the "never talk about this, it never happened" card. Oh well.

[Aeryn]

I can only see a RE with Keldorn occurring with a fairly...unscrupulous (or well-meaning but stupid) PC, and under certain conditions in his personal quest. If he reconciles with his wife, there's no way it'd even be possible. We're not talking about a hormone driven young man whose wife has been holding out on him or something. He is very disciplined and old enough to have self control to spare. Under no circumstances could I imagine him requesting a one-night affair from the much younger PC, no matter what his home situation becomes.

 

The only scenario I can realistically come up with is (in short) - dead/imprisoned wife, Keldorn is depressed, PC takes advantage of his lowered guard to seduce him. She can justify it to herself by saying she's doing it for his own good ("he needs a distraction"/"he needs comfort"), but it still takes a level of disregard (or naivete) for his state of mind to do something like this to someone who is hurting.

 

I can picture something like resting at an Inn after his personal quest is done. A dialog pops up saying that Keldorn is sitting alone, seems sad, something along those lines. PC grabs a bottle of wine, sits down with him, asks him questions, maybe gets him to open up. It would probably make sense if there are some CHA checks or something in the mix. Like most people who are grieving, the longer he talks, the more he says (the wine helps with that too) until he really breaks down and opens up. PC can take the high road and comfort him like a good friend would, or take the lovely low road, tell him he needs rest and offer to escort him back to his room. In his room, she can work some manipulation, a hug that lingers too long, a touch that would be inappropriate if it weren't for the wine and sadness muddling his judgement, "Whatever you need, I'm here for you." If she does manage to seduce him, I think he would be very regretful the next day, and probably want to leave. PC could convince him to stay ("you're right, it was wrong, but I still need your help, we won't let it happen again, no distractions from duty, blah blah, etc"), or dismiss him from her service.

 

Obviously, I've thought about this way too much. I've been tempted to write it out, but...meh. Something is always in the way.
