Fire and Runepowder: Epilogue

Epilogue: Day One

Telvelni, Karlach and Wyll arrive in Avernus with a new mission: keep Karlach's engine stable and keep Zariel away from her.

Prologue: A Deal

Telvelni (Tav) is an Ironhand Gnome, after getting abducted by mind flayers and infected with one of their tadpoles, she must make her way back to Baldur’s Gate with the important information she had received. Information she paid a lot for and could potentially be a turning point for her clan.

Well here we are. The story that's been the past year of my life is officially over.

It's been a long one, and I can't believe its over.

So many pages. So many words.

And I knew Act 3 was going to be long but,

I hardly expected it to be nearly half the story. I mean it's half the pages and only about 1,000 words off from being half the words.

But, Telvelni's story doesn't end here, as you can guess by the title of the epilogue. Stay tuned to read "A Year in Avernus"

P.S. I'll see how much writing I can do on my trip, but definitely can't do any posting.

I finally finished Baldur's Gate 3. The ride itself was absolutely fantastic. I love (almost) all the companions, and the story is well done.

It just (imo) falls flat at the end - spoilers beneath the cut

Maybe it's because I'm so used to Bioware games, but the end of this game felt really lackluster.

I was disappointed by the lack of a romance cutscene before the final assault (once again, this is probably an issue because you always get one in Bioware games) or any sort of companion thing before the final assault. Would have been nice to talk to your companions properly.

And then the actual ending was just a couple of cutscenes with some (not all) your companions.

I didn't get to talk to Wyll, except for agreeing that he and Karlach should go to Avernus together, I didn't get to talk to Jaheira, Halsin, Minsc, Shadowheart. The final cutscene with Astarion (non-ascended & romanced) was fine - I wanted him and (my drow bard) Tav to go back to the Underdark together and I got the option to do that. But there was no hugging or kissing or really romantic overtures.

There was no update on how the Harpers, or the Guild, or any of the allies I'd made along the way fared after the end of the game, nothing about the rebuilding of Baldur's Gate. It just kind of ended. And considering I didn't really use many of the allies in the final battles, having made them my allies seemed kind of pointless in the end since I didn't get to see any resolution for them.

I want to know what the characters are going to do now, and with the exception of Wyll & Karlach (fighting together in Avernus), Gale (reforging the crown and giving it to Mystra and being her chosen again), Lae'zel (off to save her people), and Astarion (looking after the vampire spawn in the underdark with Tav) I have no idea what's going to happen to the other companions. Especially Shadowheart (now a Selune cleric) - what's her plan now, her entire life is upended. Do I only get to know if I romanced her?

I know Larian have said they didn't want to give everyone hours of cutscenes, but like...I want that. These are my friends and family that I've made along the way in 150 hours of gameplay.

Hopefully there will be a definitive edition or patch updates or something to add epilogue slides or something (I'm not trying to compare to Bioware, because god knows this game is amazing - the ending just felt so lackluster - and even with the shite of the original ME3 ending, I still felt *something*. But I don't feel that empty feeling of 'omg it's over? what now?' like I do with most other rpgs)

Fire and Runepowder: a look inside

Well time to write what's probably going to be the hardest part: The Final Battle.

The Courtyard battle, the run up, and the Battle on top of the Netherbrain. A lot of action that I hope I can at least mildly interesting without making it seem to play by play like.

Wish me luck with writing Chapter 66/67 of Fire and Runepowder

Thank you so much for all of you who've supported me so far.

A little sneak peak from the start of my first draft:

Telvelni takes a deep breath and looks at everyone, “I never thought things would turn out like this.  One moment I’m in a town after making a life altering decision, the next I’m on a Nautiloid," she starts.  “For a while, getting the tadpole out was my only concern, then we discovered there were larger things at play.  I met all of you at one point in my journey and we’ve touched each other’s lives in ways I never thought possible.  This battle is going to be hard.  I can’t promise that we’ll all make it out alive, but we’ve got to try.  We’ve got to try for the sake of Baldur’s Gate and the entire Sword Coast.  The outcome of this battle is not yet determined.  We can win this.”

Acer quite literally will go to the ends of the earth for a kiss from a girl. A little lost in the sauce here.
