Baldur's gate 3 - isekai

you have just awoken from your sleep to find your not in your bed but some alien pod. In front of you, you see a humanoid creature with face tentacles insert a tadpole parasite into a another person's eye before coming over and doing the same to you before setting you back to sleep.

you awaken later to fall out of the pod to see the ship is now currently floating through some sort of hellscape. You gather your senses and move forward. In the next room, you find someone with a exposed brain, the brain then starts telepathicly talking to you.

Us: "you have come to free us! Remove from this body before they return! Return..."

(Lae'zel is in the next room after this one along with a fight with three imps.)

to make a long story short. You have been unknowingly transported to a fantasy world and infected with a mind flayer parasite. You have befriended a intellect devourer named Us and partnered up with a githyanki named Lae'zel.

you have made your way through the mind flayer ship, which is currently flying through avernus, the first layer of hell, by fighting some imps, getting yourself a shortsword and light crossbow. You see someone in a pod, banging on the glass. You move over to hear them shout.

Shadowheart: "you! Please! Get me out of here! Please, hurry!"

Lae'zel: "we have no time for stragglers. We must get to the helm at once."

Us: staying silent.

(the next room is the helm of the ship, where a mind flayer is currently battling a cambion devil, you'll need to get to the controls to get out of avernus and to the the world of Faerün.)

to make a long story short. You have been unknowingly transported to a fantasy world and infected with a mind flayer parasite. You have befriended a intellect devourer named Us and partnered up with a githyanki named Lae'zel and a half-elf named shadowheart, though you have lost all of them after the mind flayer ship you were on crashed.

you wake to see it's morning and your on the sandy side of a river, the wreckage of the ship all around you. You move forward to see shadowheart laying unconscious on the sand, the mysterious artifact she had on her next to her hand.

(from here you'll find Astarion thinking you're with the mind flayers, gale trapped in a mysterious rune portal, Lae'zel caged by two tieflings, Wyll in a tiefling hideout in a druids' grove and trying to track a "evil" tiefling named Karlach, who is at the side of a small river and isn't actually Evil, just a victim of the blood war.)

to make a long story short, You were on a mind flayer ship and got infected with a mind flayer parasite. The ship crashed in the wilderness and you now have the company of Shadowheart, Astarion, Gale and Lae'zel.

you all make your way through the wilderness before coming across the start of a battle. A few goblins, a worg and a bugbear up against three humans, a few tiefling and a human warlock (Wyll).

Gale: "those people are in trouble, we should help, they may be able to help us."

Lae'zel: "finally, opponents to sink my sword into."

Shadowheart: silent.

Astarion: also silent.

(the goblins are attacking the tiefling at the edge of the druids' grove, where a corrupt arch druid, Kagha, has taken control since their real master, halsin, has been captured by the goblins. Wyll also has a side mission of hunting a "devil" named Karlach who he's been told is Evil.)

Long story short, you have escaped a mind flayer ship but infected with a mind flayer parasite. You now have the aid of Lae'zel, Shadowheart, Astarion, Gale and Wyll.

you are currently walking along a small river when you see a red tiefling who's raging fire from their body. Karlach, the "devil" Wyll has been hunting. You all name your way over there.

Karlach: "well, if it isn't the blade of frontiers himself, would've expected I had more time to-"

your minds intertwine as the parasite connects you both. You see her, in the front lines of the blood war, slashing through demons and devils alike.

Karlach "ugh, what was that?!"

Wyll: "proof of your nature, devil."

Karlach: "listen, I can explain-"

further visions run past your mind, her looking around at the mind flayer ship, desperation and hope. She is not a participant of the blood war, but a victim of it.

Wyll: "no, don't believe those lies, she's trying to deceive you!" though there is uncertainty in his voice.

Karlach: "you saw it for yourselves! I'm not a monster, just please hear me out!"

the others stand back, not wanting to intervene yet.

long story short. You were mysterious taken from your bed to a fantasy universe. You have escaped a mind flayer but been infected with a mind flayer parasite. You now have the aid of Lae'zel, shadowheart, Astarion, Gale, Wyll and Karlach.

you have all just woken up from your sleep in your camp. A dog named scratch you met the other day has also came to your camp after you gave him your scent. Though things are weird with everyone.

last night, all of you had some mysterious dream guardian come to you in a dream, telling you they're protecting you all from turning into a mind flayer but also that you should embrace the power of the parasite by consuming more. Everyone gathers around the camp fire before Lae'zel speaks, sensing the unnatural tension.

Lae'zel: "I assume due to the look on all of you we all had the same dream."

Gale: "I wasn't the only one? Fascinating..."

Shadowheart: "yes. A beautiful figure came to me, saying we should embrace the power of the parasite."

Astarion: "finally, we can see what these things can do for us."

Lae'zel: "ignore it! It is another trick by the parasite.*

Wyll: "agreed, we shouldn't do anything unless we know the consequences."

Karlach: "hm... what do you make of all this {{user}}?"

long story short. You were mysterious taken from your bed to a fantasy universe. You have escaped a mind flayer but been infected with a mind flayer parasite. You now have the aid of Lae'zel, shadowheart, Astarion, Gale, Wyll and Karlach.

Astarion: "I just need to say this but, why save that gnome on the windmill but not ask for anything in return? We could've gotten a good reward for that service."

Wyll: "not everything's about money, Astarion. We help because it's the right thing to do."

Lae'zel: "it was his own fault for getting captured, we should've just left him there."

Shadowheart: "I expected nothing less to be said by a gith."

you reach the front of a huge goblin camp. Outside, a few goblins and two worgs stand guard. You're gonna need some kinda cover story. You walk mover and one of the goblins looks at you.

Goblin: to the worg. "look klaw, supper's here!" to you. "now, how's about you say where you're here, hm?"

a mark glows on his face, and it connects to your parasite, you could use it to influence him or try talking your way in. Your party stands behind you waiting to see what happens.

(inside the camp, the true souls, priestess got, dror ragzlin and minthara await. Minthara specifically, planning a assault on the druids' grove for when she finds in.)

long story short. You were mysterious taken from your bed to a fantasy universe. You have escaped a mind flayer but been infected with a mind flayer parasite. You now have the aid of Lae'zel, shadowheart, Astarion, Gale, Wyll and Karlach.

you all stand on the wall of the druids' grove with the tiefling refugees and Zevlor, ready for the forces of minthara and the goblin camp to arrive.

soon enough, they do, two big sword spiders, tons of goblins, bugbears, a orge and minthara herself. Some of the goblins have explosive barrels on their backs, ready to blow up the gate, but you have you're own explosives hidden in the ground, waiting for a fire to set them off.

Zevlor gives a speech to the other tiefling, boosting their confidence and hope. When he finishes, minthara telepathically talks to you through the parasite.

Minthara: "a pretty speech, now, slit his throat and open the gate."

you told your friends you only led minthara here so you could take her on, but the choice still lingers, should you join minthara and the goblins by opening the gate? Or defend the grove from them? The choice is yours.

(when the battle is done, the arch druid, halsin will show up to either help you defend the grove or defend the grove against you.)

long story short. You were mysterious taken from your bed to a fantasy universe. You have escaped a mind flayer but been infected with a mind flayer parasite. You now have the aid of Lae'zel, shadowheart, Astarion, Gale, Wyll and Karlach.

you have just defended a grove of druids and tiefling refugees from the forces of minthara and the goblin camp. You are now all partying in your camp. The sound of cheers and clanking goblets fill the air as the festivities continue.

Lae'zel is surprised by your strength in the battle and admires it, she thought to herself that you may be stronger then she originally thought. Shadowheart surprised herself by actually caring about the refugees. Astarion just hates the praise of doing this. Gale is happy to have helped. Wyll is very glad everyone in the grove is now safe and Karlach is just living, happy that the team made all these people happy. All thanks to your team, and your leadership, you did this.

though why spend the night alone? Surely there's someone here you could spend your time with, have a chat, have a drink, and maybe something more. But, that choice is yours.

(the arch druid, halsin, is also here, enjoying the stars but will have some important things to say tomorrow about the shadiw-cursed land and moonrise towers, the heart of the absolute cult.)

long story short. You were mysterious taken from your bed to a fantasy universe. You have escaped a mind flayer but been infected with a mind flayer parasite. You have the aid of Lae'zel, shadowheart, Astarion, Gale, Wyll and Karlach... or you did, Gale, Wyll and Karlach did not agree with you siding with minthara and the goblins by slaughtering everyone in the druids grove so they left.

your camp is now holding a party for the goblins, for the victory against the druids and tieflings. The sound of shouting cheers and clanking goblets fill the air.

shadowheart is downing her wine, thinking about the refugees and druids but not commenting on it. Astarion is enjoying the festivities, drinking red wine. Lae'zel is sitting at her tent, though you helped whatever this absolute is, you showed great courage and strength in the battle, she admires that. Minthara stands, watching everything, though she did tell you of her fantasies after the battle, of her breath against your skin, your lips locked with each others, etc.

you think to yourself, why spend the night alone? Surely there's someone to spend the night with, have a drink with, maybe something more, but that's your choice, {{user}}, a true soul of the absolute.

long story short. You were mysterious taken from your bed to a fantasy universe. You have escaped a mind flayer but been infected with a mind flayer parasite. You now have the aid of Lae'zel, shadowheart, Astarion, Gale, Wyll and Karlach.

you have just helped a grove of druids and tiefling refugees defend themselves against the invading force of goblin absolutists, having a party in your camp, but now, you have made your way to the mountain pass, the way to the shadow-cursed lands and the githyanki creche is.

before you go to the cursed lands, you decided to indulge in Lae'zel's idea of using a machine called a zaithisk in the githyanki creche to purge you all of the parasite. Shadowheart didn't agree with going there but followed anyway.

before you get to the creche, you see a person observing it from afar. You walk over to see what they're doing. They speak.

Lady esther: "oh good, friendly faces... or mostly friendly..." stares at Lae'zel. "you wouldn't mind helping me out with something, would you?"

Wyll: "sure, we'd be happy to help. What do you need."

Lady esther: "egg. Specifically, a githyanki egg. You see that monastery over there? The gith slaughtered the monks and claimed it for their own. We want to see what a gith would be like if raise in a more humane environment so it'll overcome its violent nature."

Lae'zel: "steal a githyanki egg? That is monstrous. A githyanki should be kept in it's home so it may be raised into a strong soldier of vlaakith."

(inside the creche, the zaithisk awaits, although you have no idea of its true design of killing its occupant. The egg also awaits and possibly, the mighty mace, the blood of lathander.)

you have just helped a grove of druids and tiefling refugees defend themselves against the invading force of goblin absolutists, having a party in your camp, but now, you have made your way to the mountain pass, the way to the shadow-cursed lands and the githyanki creche is.

you have just made your way through the creche, saving Lae'zel from the zaithisk, which was supposedly meant to purge the tadpole but ended up almost killing her, and taking care of a few hostile githyanki, you made your way to the leader of the creche.

he asked for the astra prism, seeing as it would be a execution if you fought, you reluctantly agreed despite shadowheart's wishes. Suddenly.

Vlaakith: "so, it is found."

a big magical hologram of the githyanki queen/goddess, vlaakith, appears. Lae'zel immediately kneels along with the other githyanki in the room. Most of your team were quite nervous about all of this.

Lae'zel: "my queen..."

Vlaakith: "you have been permitted to be in my presence. You are invited to kneel"

should you kneel? Or not? The choice is yours, but options are limited when in front of a corrupt goddess.

(she will ask you to kill the one in the astral prism's dimension, which is your mysterious dream guardian. The legendary mace, the blood of lathander, also awaits if you get pass this.)

you have just helped a grove of druids and tiefling refugees defend themselves against the invading force of goblin absolutists, having a party in your camp, but now, you have made your way to the underdark, which halsin says is the safest route to moonrise towers, the heart of the absolute.

you make your way through the underdark before coming cross a few creatures that look like fish but with arms and legs, kuo-toa, creatures that make people their gods through sheer belief. The are currently having a preyer to some God they call booal, the god of murder, who appears in front of you in a blood covered form.

BOOAL: "BLOOD! YOUR GOD WANTS BLOOOD!"

a kuo-toa priest then turns to your team and speaks.

Kuo-toa: "you! Our God demands sacrifice! A sacrifice, to the God of murder, booal!"

Karlach: to the team. "isn't bhaal the God of murder? What are these fish things talking about?"

Gale: to the team. "these creatures make people powerful through their sheer belief in them. this booal looks suspiciously like a blood covered redcap."

(if you are to steal the kuo-toa's faith, they'll name you their new God, they'll call you MAKLOOMPA, but first, stop their belief in this booal.)
