Q17: Will you be adding more to Edda's story?

[Garlyle]

Instead, she fixated on her dead boyfriend and plunged into insanity, as if she was worth nothing as a person without the male in her life (a tired, offensive trait possessed by all-too many women in fiction).

I'm sorry that's all you got out of that, but I'll argue that also offensive is reducing the entirity of events and their character down to singular tropes. It's hard enough to get people to take characters who aren't strictly White And Male taken seriously or viewed as full characters.

It wasn't even much of a fixation on her boyfriend - it was a fixation on the entire adventuring life. It was specifically stated that while the other three viewed adventuring as a means to an end, adventuring WAS the end for Edda, the goal point. She wanted the happy fantasy of dear companions and endless adventure and heroism. Avere was only a part of that - but if he was the only thing that mattered to her, she wouldn't have bothered reanimating Liavinne's corpse or trying to get whatshisname the Lalafell to join them either.

She didn't exactly have her dreams shattered lightly. She had them shattered right in front of her, arguably because of her actions (or inactions), and then had those dreams stomped on by the other people who were supposed to be part of it. All she had to show for it at the end, after that traumatic event, was Avere's head - one reminder of what could have been. And which evolved, in time, to her to be a chance that it can still happen.


Either way, I am not down for Edda being redeemed. If we do get a happy ending for her I want it to be at a point where we actually do have to straight up kill her to stop her, no ifs ands or buts, and we get a brief glimpse in the end of Avere greeting her in the afterlife and them both finally getting to pass on. That's about the only 'happy' ending to the tale I'd accept at this point.

I specifically hope we don't go there. It's too played out, the whole "you killed the person that went bad, now here's their redeemed Yoda ghost scene where their spirit is finally at rest" scenario. I want to see this deal go completely batshit insane. I'm hoping for Edda becoming some twisted voidsent thing that's lost entirely to malice, and if you don't destroy her new physical form and banish her to the void she's going to lay mindflayer eggs in everyone's nose. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, KILL IT WITH FIRE. XD

Please don't lay Mindflayer eggs in my nose...

I'm trying to imagine how she would do that first of all...

I'll be having nightmares tonight.
