11 & 12 For Durgetash?

11 & 12 for Durgetash?

hello there, dear anon

sorry for the late remply, I had a hell of weekend 🥲

11. I have already answered this in my other post

12.Which one of the other companions are the chosen of hell most likely to bond with in your opinion? What exactly would allow for that to happen?

Sooooooo, Jacq have a deep bond with all the companions, each one of them differents and unique, but between all, his bond with Astarion is the deepest. I know it may seen a cliché, but this is not a coincidence, he is the only one who can understand fear and bloodlust more than everyone.

in the beginning their bond may have been a scam from Astarion, a way of protection, but after a while Jacq understood what was hiding behind it after spending a bit of time talking with Astarion.

the hunger for blood, the fear they both felt, the unbearable weight of the shadow of their masters, the knowledge to never be really free until facing their abusers, that's what bond them so deeply.

it's funny to see that even if their personalities are really differents (Jacq have a nice hero personality, astarion have a sassy bitchy personality) they got along pretty well, dark humor an jokes they...

and don't forget one is a vampire and the other is a cannibal, murder buddies ❤️

Imagine how awkward it must be for Jaqc and his group to arrive at the Temple of Bhaal and have an entourage of fans waiting for him like he's Tylor Swift.

Not only do I want to be the pure son of Bhaal but I want to remember his atrocities as if it were the coolest thing in the world. And the worst thing is that you can't kill them because for them it would be a gift from their hero.

🤣🤣Yes indid, it was really awkward when Jacq got back to the temple, lol

If your Durge were a character that can accompany you on the adventure. How do you imagine your recruitment would be? Oh your interaction with Dark urge?

Edit: Name your Durge's mission

ohoohohoh! that's a really interesting thing, how Jacq would be as a companion. I admit, this is a thing I thought a lot even before reading this message, and @popex-springpinter thanks you so much for your interesting questions!❤️

SO! I had imagined that the player meet Jacq on the beach, or among the goblin corpses near the mind flayer stuck in the wreckage.

He is extremely confused, covered in blood and a bit dazed, with his life bar in half (he almost split his head in half by hitting it in the nautiloid's capsule to get out).

For a moment jacq almost looks like he's about to attack, but he shakes his head and stops.

Here there is the possibility of making a perception roll, and so we understand that he is confused and that it was as if an instinct was pushing him to attack.

I imagined the dialogue and the questions, which vary on: did he kill all these people, if they are okay, or what happened (or attack, it depends)

Jacq takes a while to answer, as if his voice had not been used for a while, and he answers that he doesn't know, and that he woke up on the beach with no memory and with all the dead around him.

He asks if he can be updated on what happened to them, and they need to be explained what coelomorphosis is, and then he would like to get rid of the parasite, and suggests that they continue together to find out what can be done.

if you accept him into the group, Jacq is bold, energetic and wild, kinda sweet and friendly, but sometimes , in some interactions with NPCs, he give some disturbing comments that show his dark side, commenting in a bloody and creepy way.

he is an exceptional shadow druid warrior, with a strong inclination towards arcane magic.

He have no idea of what privacy is, and he is prone to doing strange and stupid things (like drinking from auntie ethel's well, or licking a dead spider).

As said before, he is a cannibal (he and astarion have no problem eating/drinking from corpses), has no idea how to cook (he has no problem eating raw meat), likes alcohol, but has a nearly non-existent tolerance (he gets drunk easily, but drinks little, due to the severe headaches he has).

It is easy to gain approval with him, you have to be a mix between heroic, kind and cruelly bloodthirsty and chaotic.

when you have a good enough approval(25), Jacq reveals to you that he has no idea who he is, and that his memories are gone (he just see red and the only real ones he has are some faded memories of his childhood, before bhaal), but more important, he has dark instincts and very bloody thoughts, and has no idea why.

(I'll leave Jacq's romance sheet aside, or I'll never finish it)

is canon the sleepwalking murder of the bard, and Jacq wakes the player up in panic asking for help. here it's very similar to how you react with Astarion when he tries to bite the player, you can help him or chase him away (or attack him).

If you have a high approval (40) Jacq reveals to you the visits of Sceleritas Fell, and the things the little monster says.

As with Shadowheart and Astarion, you can help Jacq become a good person (repressing his dark urges and be free of bhaal), or encourage him to embrace them (and pursue the destiny of bhaal's chosen one).

The second act is interesting in his storyline, because Ketheric and a shitload of people recognize him, but of course no one really says anything (Jacq is very uncomfortable but at the same time enthralled by the moonrise towers, and he's looking for answers).

The dialogue with the bone sister is very hard for him, and if the player tries to defend him from her, there's a good increase in approval.

THEN, then, let's not forget the part with the ancient brain and the three chosen ones, Jacq dissociates for a moment, looking at Orin and Gortash, and feels anger mix with pain and longing, with a bonus of a terrible headache. He almost blows up the hideout when he tries to get closer, the player prevents him.

I imagine that in act 3, when he regains some of his memory, jacq will find himself in conflict with karlach about gortash, she wants to kill him, he instead wants to try to reconnect with him.

here the player will have to choose whether to kill gortash or not, and if he finally does, he will lose a lot of approval (-10), and if the approval is not high enough, he will leave the group.

(wow, i wrote a lot, i'll stop here for now. i hope this is enough as an idea of ​​how jacq is as a character....)

thanks again, I love when people ask me things about him, and I'm sorry if I take some time to answer it, but I will get it, no worry!

(I ask forgiveness for my English, and for any errors I may have written, love you all, Ciaoooo 👋🙃)

Imagine a Bhaal and Fell sitcom style situation.

Where out of nowhere your favorite son stops wearing his executioner clothes and wears turtlenecks stating:

It's not a stage this is the real me. And if you'll excuse me, I'll go read stories to children in hospitals and donate to charities.

aaaanndd it is what happened, lol🤣🤣 it is actually really funny, good idea @popex-springpinter !

here what I have imagined:

ADOPTED AU 2 👀

Ketheric would be the best father for this feral kids, who had been mentally and physically hurt by their parents.

I think Thorm would be so angry that those fuckers abused their children, because for his point of view, children are one of the most precious things a parent have. He literally sold his soul to Shar and Myrkul, begging them to stop his suffering or give his daughter back.

So, I think he would be an amazing dad for Jacq, Enver and Orin. (for once, he will not be submitted by gross Durgetash until their teen)

So after meeting Jacq as a kid did gortash watch him slowly become a big buff boy, or was he pleasantly surprised after not seeing him for a long time?

If it’s the latter was he pleasantly surprised? XD

hello there Anon! thanks you for the question!

So! the little comic was a what if, in my canon Gortash and Jacq never meet as kids, but for the sake of continue the what if.

Gortash was sold to the devil when he was young ( in my canon, he is 8 years older than Jacq) and because of that, he never see the him grow to be the buff guy Jacq will be. so, it was really a surprise that the little younger guy who saved his life became an gigantic sexy tiefling.

Jacq is the biggest tiefling ever seen, thanks to the draconic and devils genes Bhaall mixed with his undead flesh. he is the best of best, he is physically perfect.

this is what he thought when he saw him after all those years away:
