Anyway, here are my thoughts about what each of the companions would present on if they had to give the rest of the party a PowerPoint presentation:
Gale: A completely accurate and detailed lecture regarding the theories of teleportation magic, how it works, and the differences between it and plane shift. There are multiple charts and graphs.
Wyll: âChoosing your hero name: an adventurerâs guideâ He does have suggestions for the entire party.
Karlach: âRanking bars in the gate based on how much they remind me of Avernus.â She has provided illustrations that she made herself. Anything in the Upper City is ranked âlike Avernusâ because âoccupied entirely by pricks.â
Shadowheart: âSo I was wrong about Shar: a reluctant apology.â Itâs mostly a debunk of Sharâs lies but the entire time it does look like she is pulling teeth. However, she cheers up considerably when she presents on some of the churchâs secrets, including the weird ass code names for things that she always thought were a little silly.
Laeâzel: a very educational and complete history of her peopleâs war against the mind flayers. Itâs all rather academic until the last slide which says âAND THIS IS WHY WE DONâT EAT THE WORMSâ in all caps.
Astarion: âRanking you by whose blood Iâd want to drink most.â In order, it is as follows Gale (rancid), Karlach (spicy), Minthara (probably is poisonous after all the poison sheâs been exposed to), Jaheria (that story about what she did to one of the spawn was memorable), Shadowheart (does cleric blood taste radiant?), Laeâzel (curious how Gith taste, doesnât want to die), Minsc (large and has extra blood to spare), Halsin (can turn into a bear, think of all that real estate), Wyll (canon verified snack)
Halsin: âForaging: whatâs edible and what isnâtâ Gale takes very dutiful notes given someone gave him a mushroom two ten days ago that gave the entire camp food poisoning. Astarion, the only one who did not get food poisoning, who has completely forgotten what he foraged was the culprit, takes 0 notes.
Minthara: Battle orders and tactics. All of these fools need to get whipped into shape.
Jaheria: âGet it Fucking Together: Stop Doing this Shit.â What follows is a callout of everyoneâs worst habits and decisions. One slide just says âstop snitching.â
Minsc: itâs just pictures of Boo.
