The dryad frowns, almost pouting. “Sussur. Friend.” They look carefully at Astarion for a while before speaking again. “…not friend?”

Insight, DC 5:

Pass: There seems to be a case of mistaken identity. Perhaps the dryad’s friend shares a few features in common with Astarion.

Astarion's brow raised in confusion, glancing at the creature's expression.

Shadowheart leaned closer to Astarion. "It looks like they think you're someone you're not," she murmured.

"'Me'?" he hummed, "Someone else with looks as iconic as these? Inconceivable." He sighed dramatically, before leaning in closer to the dryad. "I'm Astarion. Astarion Ancunin? I've not been down here before and I very much doubt that we've met in Baldur's Gate."

Hey Logan! Calm the sass! We're kinda trapped here by a certain overgod and can't go to more than one person at a time. So we we're getting there. -Dryad

Logan: I understand that. You still should have checked on Roman first.

Dryad Anon is back! This time the scenario changes to Dragon AU with Dragon! Bakugou where the most valuable treasures of his horde are the lonely tree that is in the deepest and safest part of the cave (just imagine the mystical scenario of a cave with a lake and a in the middle of the lake) and next to the tree is the dryad, his soul mate.(1/2)

You really make me wanna write some fairy tail/ legend style stories.

This is so sweet and I love the idea of dragon Baku fighting tooth and nail to protect their home and travelers being warned to stay away from that particular cave because of how aggressive he is, but no one knowing why. He refuses to allow anyone to even know her or her tree is there just so he can be sure she’s perfectly safe. He can’t risk even the smallest chance that anyone would ever try to come for his soulmate.

Also him being all grumpy and angry after a fight and calm down immediately because she smiled at him and offered a hug. Goes from feral to tame real quick.

The dryad inches forward at the apparent invitation. “Safe sun?” They reach forward, one hand sneaking out from their cloak, then evidently think better of it and retreat a few steps. “Magic?” They glance between Astarion and the books with arcane symbols in and around Gale’s tent.

"What in the nine Hells is that?" Astarion gasped, leaning back slightly at the thing encroaching on their camp.

Gale had been watching closely, peering at the creature with scientific interest. "It looks like a dryad... of one of the strange trees down here."

"It's sentient..." Astarion muttered to Gale under his breath. How much could it think? What did it want? He glanced between the creature and the flames.

"'Safe sun'? It's called a fire," he explained warily. "It must be used to the underdark and afraid of light..."

The figure is quiet and unmoving, in a black cloak that would fully obscure their features, if not for the deep blue glow from within. They watch from a short distance, keeping to the shadows and avoiding the sunlight.

Nature check, DC 18 (disadvantage-surface dweller):

Pass: A sussar tree dryad. Rare even in the Underdark, and nigh unheard of above. Tales say they have a similar sunlight sensitivity to vampires- that may explain the cloak.

Fail: Whatever kind of creature they are, they’re certainly rare. They’re something that Cazador would have considered a valuable find.

Astarion watched warily from the campfire with his comrades. "Uh... everyone?" he muttered, waiting for everyone to follow his gaze to the stranger he spotted outside the camp. He was wary of all these creatures in the underdark. Especially when... whatever it was seemed to be watching them. Avoiding the sunlight... another vampire?

"Hello...?" he called out, edging closer to Karlach when he considered the possibility? "We see you there. Don't be a stranger..."

Astarion liked the Dryad. She was fun. It was funny watching her learn about things common to their camp rather than the Underdark, and in all honesty, having her around reminded him about his youth. A more innocent time. When he was still out discovering things for himself. Besides, it was very refreshing around to have someone who thought... differently. Who seemed to come to them in curiosity about all things around them, who seemed to be innocently meandering about, thinking for themselves. Rather than... well, the risk that they might be trying to use him. It relaxed him. Brought out a different side to him.

He peered over at her, from where he sat reclining against a tree with a book in hand while the others were out adventuring. He was relaxed, he felt, like he hadn't been in a while.

"What are you looking at, over there?" he hummed.

Hey Roman, ever heard of Moulin Rouge? Thoughts? -Dryad Anon

(Roman smiles,)

Roman: I love Moulin Rouge!

Virgil: You do?

Roman: Of course!! It’s a wonderful love story, if a tragic one! --What, do you not like it?

Virgil: No, I love it too. I just thought it was a little dark for you... Or, if nothing else, a little too raunchy for your tastes.

Roman: Ehh, it’s part of the setting, I can excuse it for that. I’m really focused on the story between Christian and Satine!

Virgil: Even the part where she dies at the end?

Roman: Oh yeah, I cry every time. And I’ve seen the show... like, twenty times?

[ask-fantasy-sanders-sides]

Hey Vee, buddy, you know we told Roman what the gesture actually means, right? -Dryad anon

(Virgil shrugs,)

Virgil: Yeah, but he doesn’t know shit about Drow, and he hasn’t brought it up, so he’s probably assumed I just did it in a fugue state and didn’t mean it. Easy pass.
