A stylised 2D art piece of a large brown bear with Halsin's scars and markings curled up asleep at the foot of a tree. Leaning against him is Minsc, who is also fast asleep. Minsc is laying back on Halsin with one hand curled under the bear's head, fingers resting on his cheek. His other hand is on top of one of Halsin's paws which has curled around his chest to embrace him. The foreground shows the blurred branches of a willow tree, and there are some other vague trees and bushes blurred in the background.

Some of their names are known far and wide--but others are yet unknown. These are their stories. A fanfic collaboration by members of the Elturel Tiefling Camp server. Notes: "What the hell is a failsafe Tiefling," you ask? The failsafe Tieflings, as discovered in this video, are NPCs that Larian added to BG3 in the event that any of the Tiefling characters who attend the party die, in addition to having backup leaders for Zevlor in Act 1. Recently, the lovely SharkCutlery has been hard at work researching the failsafe Tieflings for the Elturel Tiefling Camp server. He has put in a lot of time and effort into compiling dialogue and videos for our reference, and we're very grateful for him! This video shows many of them. Thank you, Chyme!

A feeling he most certainly did not relish. “You always have. With your books, your goddess, the thin veil of morality you keep over your darker desires.” “All I desire, dearest, is time with the man I love. Time where we aren’t fighting for our lives, or with each other, or with the vicious little worms burrowing into our skulls.” As if on cue, the tadpoles began to writhe, connecting in the shared emotions. --- Later Sample --- It was always a wonderful sight to behold, the proud Wizard of Waterdeep, beloved of Mystra, would-be hero playing at saving the world, and there he was. Sprawled across sheets, cheeks flush with arousal, hair dishevelled, lips reddened both with the heat of their shared kiss and the smear of his own blood. But still, that cursed symbol glowed like an insult. “On your front. No- on your knees, darling, face away from me. But do not so much as think about stifling your voice in those sheets.” Language: English Words: 6,881 Chapters: 1/1 Collections: 1 Comments: 4 Kudos: 68 Bookmarks: 7 Hits: 960

Wouldn’t you like to try something new, little Bat?” Tav watched on, entranced, as the incubus pulled the vampire flush with their body, holding their lips just shy of touching his. The pale elf released a breathless and needy moan as they continued to tease, waiting until he was stretching up to kiss and staying always a hair’s breadth away. Meanwhile, Halsin was holding Tav’s back close against his chest, kissing and nipping along her neck, whispering in her ear. “Do you enjoy watching him like this, my heart? Our usually dominant lover giving over control to them, lusting after their kiss?” “Gods…” Tav could barely find words to reply as the druid’s hands held her tightly, one curling up around her breast to tease her through her clothes whilst the other drifted lower, his thumb stroking along the line of her hip.
