Gale is in the wilderness, meets a friend of his ex and the friend says: "I have a message from your ex: Kill yourself" Poor gale

[@conspiracypanda1200]

Being an ex of a deity must be rough. Imagine being depressed and automatically looking up to the heavens for guidance and the clouds rearrange themselves like "🖕"

[@bthsr7113]

Better than being an ex of an Olympian. Edit: Never mind, didn't realize it was an actual instruction to self destruct.

She is incredibly abusive. Imagine you are a god and you pressure a mortal to be your lover. You have nearly infinite power over them and there is nothing they can do against you. I feel bad for Gale

Fun fact about Elminster: not only is he one of the most powerful mages in the Forgotten Realms, he's also that world's version of Santa Claus.

[@drakefire6675]

If you mean by Santa Claus you mean magical Genghis Khan, then yes, you are correct.

I never knew Santa Claus gets into orgies with women less than half his age.

thats crazy imagine if you were friends with santa and he was waiting for you down a path one day so he could tell you god wanted you to kill yourself

Something that I really enjoy about your editing style specifically is your frequent jumpcuts. Sometimes they're just a smart, quick way to summarize what happens, and other times it's just your reactions being hilarious. Your editing is just simply fun ^^

[@AeroViro]

hey thank you so much!!! I only recently started editing again and I was worried people wouldn't like it, so comments like these definitely make me feel so much better!

Yeah idk why but it’s especially funny when it cuts mid reaction haha.

Man that death shepherd fight was SO tough for me. I basically ended up fighting with only Shadowheart and Gale because Astarion and my monk died pretty early on. Fight took over half an hour, I ended up killing three of them by having Gale run by them with heat shield cast on him, and when they all opportunity attacked him, they took fire damage and died.

Yo is that a returning pike that I see!? Nice! That hits so hard with tavern brawler. Took me 3rd playthrough to realize how good it is with the +1d4 ring and +1d4 gloves and tavern brawler. Doing like 15+ damage every hit with a dummy high chance to hit with it.
