906 – Persuasion check
Addis is new in this strip, her design was pretty fun. Her visuals are loosely based on Mel Medarda from arcane, but not as skinny, and with longer hair. In our game, she has gravitas, and is too important for Konsi to see often. Razira, as a visiting paladin, is important enough to get invited to the evening temple poker circle.
Please tell me that there’s somebody who makes sure that Konsi actually eats and doesn’t give all her food to the poor.
Legitimately, Konsi grew up in Waterdeep as a street urchin, often eating scraps and rats to survive, she doesn’t have much of an appetite as an adult, but does enjoy eating vegetables and fruits, something she views as a luxury she could never afford through most of her life.
There have been multiple scenes in our campaign involving her coming up with projects and schemes to feed the poor – when our party inherited a tavern/restaurant, she demanded that the chefs save all the scraps and make them into doggie bags to distribute to the hungry (something she does herself if she’s in town.)
In 782 I made a reference to Caravance, a gift-giving holiday. The rest of the party conspired behind Konsi’s back to set up a soup kitchen and gave it to her – when she wants to relax she goes there and makes stew to hand out to people (and heals anyone who’s sick.)

The party DO take pains to make sure she looks after herself though, given she has no capacity to consider it herself.
