nilchanceit's Frostmaiden day again! we're headed back to my paladin Skink's hometown. he's.... not very happy about it. so here's a song for his years in Baldur's Gate:
Skink doesn't think he's a particularly good man, but he was significantly worse before the campaign started; he worked for a mob boss named Old Mags as one of her grunts, beating the shit out of people who owed her money and didn't pay back their loans. Skink tries to pretend that he doesn't have an innate sense of honor, but hurting (mostly) innocent people was fucking him up. unfortunately, his brother Thorn ALSO worked for Old Mags, and whenever Skink stepped out of line, Thorn was the one to pay for it. (and vice versa, but Skink doesn't really think too hard about the fact that he also got punished by Mags. he's mostly pissed about Thorn.) so Skink kept doing her dirty work for 12 years, hating her and hating himself, drinking a little too much and staring at the wall all night whenever he came home with blood on his hands, until the day that he finally decided to become a paladin and leave town to chase Thorn.
because he'd been sitting on over a decade of seething resentment for Mags, he decided that on his way out of town he was going to toss a Molotov cocktail onto a ship full of smoke powder and blow it the fuck up. Mags's chief enforcer was on said boat at the time. that's what you get for hurting his brother, fucker.
