Callimar's private notes on Ardreyth Ardreyth is making remarkable progress, surpassing her peers. Her skill with the dagger is precise and excellent. She also shows talent with the whip and hand crossbow, but I believe there is still much room for development. Her agility is exceptional; she glides like a cat through the course with the pendulum axe without so much as a scratch. More and more often she loses control and falls into a kind of bloodlust. During a practice fight against some slave warriors, she fell into this state again. The result was three severed heads. After the fights, she increasingly shows a ‘trembling of the hands’ and mumbles as if she were talking to invisible beings. I have also been told that she talks in her sleep. I observe a strange sense of joy and fulfilment in her when she kills, she is more ruthless and merciless than usual in these moments, which sends shivers down my spine. It's best if I give her an assignment. That way I can better understand the state of things and observe her strange behaviour more closely. I will be travelling with her to the northern tunnels to eliminate the Duregar who are using the tunnels unlawfully without paying the Matron her due tribute. The journey will take approximately 2 weeks. The task should be carried out quietly and without leaving any evidence behind. If she fails to do so, she will lose the right to take part in the initiation rite, which would result in Minaste's favourite tool losing its usefulness. The question is do I want the little spider to fail?
17 Ches 1345 DR - Excerpt from Callimar's private notes Matron Mizzrym has changed her instructions again and reworded the order. She requires Ardreyth to oversee a secret meeting of sub-hawks from various drow houses with a group of duregar blasters. The purpose is purely observational, to gather necessary information. Her goal is to discover the identity of the traders and the specific purpose of this meeting. Our attention now turns to a remote cave in the south, by a small lake along the trade route. This is where the secret meeting will take place. The journey will take a week: We will need three days to get there, one day to fulfil the mission and finally three days back to Menzoberanzzan. Ardreyth. As usual, she is perfectly prepared for every conceivable situation. She has gone over the plan umpteen times and has plan B and C up her sleeve as alternatives. Her look betrays exhaustion; she has probably been training alone until late into the night again. Sometimes I wonder whether this tireless ambition really comes from herself or whether she is trying so hard to prevent me from being held accountable for her mistakes. Nonsense, why would she do that? Her loyalty to the Matron, is unwavering, regardless of all the punishments it imposes on her. That little spider would do anything and sacrifice anyone who gets in Minaste's way… how foolish of me to think that she would... . We set off. Da'viir gives me a quick glance and went in the direction of the training hall. After three days we reach a small outcrop where we set up camp and have an excellent observation position over the area. From here, Ardreyth will move on alone and fulfil her task. I will wait here. Da'viir is right: Ardreyth speaks in her sleep and sleeps fitfully - tossing and turning. What might be going on in her mind? This morning she set off for the meeting place. She should have been back since hours I can't wait any longer…
Thank you so much Lorels!🫶 I love to plot but not writing but I'm trying. I did this never before and I don't know why I've started now to write down stuff about my ocs :D ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you! I really like to plot especially with an old Nexus friend *waves at Bastet* but it's difficult to make a whole story, so I tried to write more different episodes, or diary entries etc. I really have no idea how it will ends :D ... I'm still plotting her background story before the BG3 events.

And equally interesting information
Very cool!
Here for ALL of this. Great way to start my morning. ❤️❤️❤️
For someone who hates to write, you sure do a great job at it!

Would love to read about your characters!
