#Molvayas
#TavQOTD

For all their evil flaws & political differnces... I do actually like #Molvayas & #Verdigris. 😅

But don't get me wrong. One trick to making evil characters likeable is to make for them even worse antagonists.

#TavQOTD #DurgeQOTD #OcQOTD

We all have them. (If you don't then what are you even doing?! 🤭)

Which one of your Tav, Durge or OC's do you love to hate? Are they too kind? Too evil? Too smart? Too dumb? Too gullible?

(With thanks to @shandoraexplorer.bsky.social for inspiration!)

"I can see you, you know?" #Molvayas sighs, "and it just so happens my love is an artificer who favours radiant damage."
A click signals the prepped magically enhanced bolt now pointing directly at the spectre.
"So you can either sod off to haunt someone else or be eliminated, your choice."
#tavqotd #durgeqotd Poltergeist

It's spooky month! 👻

Your tav/durge is being haunted by a poltergeist due to someone cursing them. How do they rid themselves of the spirit?

I was thinking of Heads We're Dancing. 😅
youtu.be/P4_mQhjaWIg?...

(Molvayas might actually be my first protag to escape Running up that Hill.)

The other song of hers on his list is Why Should I Love You?

I don't know Wedding List... I shall have to look it up tomorrow.

The ones on James’ playlist are the Wedding List and Running up that Hill :3 (which I’m gonna guess is the one you’re intending? Considering Molvayas and his story with Gortash?)
October 12, 2026 at 3:24 AM
Eeey, Kate Bush!

Molvayas has some of her songs too. (You can probably guess one of them. You might even have it on James's playlist too?)
October 12, 2026 at 3:20 AM
The fact the one banite you'd trust your kids and pets with is the one with the Doom ost when #Molvayas (Durge) is *right there* will never not be fun to me.

It makes sense tho.
#Verdigris hasn't got as many songs on his playlist, but so far he's collected a bunch of 70s blues / rock. Usually sadder songs.
He's an old soul 😅

(Billy Joel, Lynard Skynyrd, The Moody Blues, Eagles)

Different genre, but the Beatles lonelier songs are on there too.

...and the Doom ost

#Molvayas : dark, slow & powerful with electronica / synth elements (I like to imagine that part represents Enver).
Tbh I'm not really sure what genre it falls under... avent-garde? Electronic pop?

(Björk, Editors, Goldfrapp)

#tavqotd #durgeqotd What genre of music best exemplifies your tav/durge? This is what music speaks to them, not what they listen to.

He hums, taking his time to reply. "Sure".

[Perception succeeded - you hear something lift up from the bathwater and a resigned sigh. It sounds like it came from Molvayas]

#TavQOTD

You could argue #Molvayas was born with this curse (which he managed to break through defying Bhaal) but... Gortash is destined to die by his hand.
#TavQOTD Trying my hand at a spooky season one: Your Tav/Durge has run afoul of a hag/witch/miscellaneous malevolent entity, who has punished them with an ironic curse!

What is the curse that your Tav/Durge now bears?

Molvayas can read books and learn wizard spells as a draconic sorcerer, because having natural 'talent' at something doesn't make you suddenly illiterate.
Tbh I threw out a lot of the DnD mechanics. Too restrictive.

Gortash invites Molvayas back for a private meeting before being handed the netherstones (otherwise it was very hard to justify him risking as much as he did).

Wyrm's Rock had a bit of an interior redesign to allow for realism: Missing servants' quarters + I moved the bell *out* of the penthouse.

#TavQOTD

It's none of #Molvayas 's business really, but he knows this type to an intimate degree.
"The work you're performing currently will be of far worse quality than if you just rested. Is the immediacy worth that cost?"

If she still insists.

"What will happen if you do?"
(Self-indulgent #tavqotd because I'm not feeling great...)

Lyra is notorious for not slowing down and taking care of herself when she's sick (gotta love that hyper independence). How would your OC encourage her to take a step back and get the rest she needs? #tav #oc #bg3

#Molvayas clears his throat before addressing the smug man standing beside him.

"This is Archduke Enver Gortash of Baldur's Gate. Without him, the world would have drowned in its own blood long ago by my hand."

#TavQOTD

#Molvayas has to picture Gortash as either to get a reply, but he's still not sure. I mean... tbf, either are a step down from dragon.
A werewolf does offer something different tho.

I can't imagine #Verdigris liking vampires (obnoxious parasites), and werewolves are too chaotic for him. 😩
#TavQOTD Halloween Season Continues 🎃

The age old question that philosophers have debated for centuries - vampires or werewolves? Which is hotter?

They turn in their seat, sticking their head out from the side of the chair's backrest, keeping an eye on his slow footsteps as he and Molvayas make their way to the bath. Not until the two of them disappear behind the screen do they sit back in their seat.

This is gorgeous! I actually liked this piece last year! (Molvayas forgive me, I didn’t know your game 🫣🫶🏻)

Simply stunning! The expression and colouring is just so so beautiful!

Honestly I’m such a big fan of shibari, and really hope to go to a class when I’m in Japan!

My Gortash will use bondage on Molvayas but he doesn't like it used on himself. He still needs to feel control over the situation outside of trust / words.
Molvayas is used to it as a safety precaution, but post-urge he still allows Gortash to live his little power fantasies. 🤭

#TavQOTD

As a Durge, I feel #Molvayas is obligated to take on the role of killer. (He does canonically prove pretty fatal to the companions.)
His motive is linked to Gortash's death. He's either driven by revenge or this is part of a ritual to bring him back.

#TavQOTD #DurgeQOTD Halloween Season Continues 🎃

I’m almost certain this has been asked before, but here we are - what role would your Tav/Durge be in a horror movie? The Final Girl? The Comic Relief? The Skeptic? The First Victim? (…are they the Killer? 🔪)

"So Verdigris gets to take a break whilst I wait on your hands and feet?" Molvayas teases as he accepts the hand offered to help him stand.

As a cleric of Jergal, Amarie wouldn't mind Molvayas plotting against all gods? (ik he's sort of retired, but I'm still curious.)

They stand up on their back paws and rest their front paws against the backrest of the chair, watching Molvayas relay their order to the servants with a nose wiggle and bright eyes. But at his next words, their eyes widen instead. For a moment,

#TavQOTD

#Molvayas why not? He's dealt with an ascended vampire before and is immune to their charms. This is just another diplomatic meeting for him.

#Verdigris considers it too suspicious and a bother, but if his master (Gortash) insists? Then...
Halloween Season Continues 🎃

Your Tav/Durge just received an invitation to a (haunted) lovely castle in the mountains! Fine dining, good company, host is a vampire wait what—

Does your Tav/Durge accept or are they staying far away from the castle and its (sexy) vampires?
