Роман с Виконией

3.3 Viconia

Profile:	Elven Drow.  Perhaps the fittest bird in the entire game out 
of Jaheira and Aerie, although I reckon Jaheira and Viconia are 
equally as pretty.  She's a bit dominant and enjoys nothing more 
but to antagonize you and lead you on.  She is also very 
aggressive and being Drow that also means she is very ruthless as 
you will discover as the love dialogues go on.  If perchance you 
side with Bodhi in Chapter 3, she will urge you to do the more 
evil of the tasks when Bodhi asks you to choose between the two.  
Arguably one of the hardest to get you will most likely be 
frustrated at her changes in her mood towards you.  She's a cleric 
and a pretty good one at that, and if you get the Crom Faeyr for 
her she will use it quite well as a mid line attacker/defender, 
somebody that would go well putting her between the frontline 
fighters and the mages at the back, to finish off those beasts 
that may have managed to evade your fighters.

Diff:	She's the most difficult out of the three.  

Hints:	You will have to find a neat balance between making fun of 
her, getting angry and being sensitive.  One usual tactic I have 
is to be relatively harsh to her at the beginning of the romance 
and then when she talks of her experience in the Underdark and on 
the surface show some caring and consideration.

	For starters you must not seem weak in Viconia's eyes otherwise 
she will despise you.  Thus, always choose options that seem to 
make you a more courageous and daring man that you are.  She will 
think that if you are too nice to her she will be disgusted 
claiming this to be your weakness.  However once she starts 
talking about her brother who saved her from Lloth, you must be 
understanding and sensitive.  At this point you must always get 
her to continue on her story and show some real consideration for 
her brother and for her.  Other than that there are really nothing 
much to say about this romance.  The only fighting action that 
ever comes out of this romance is the appearance of a Handmaiden 
who will appear to kill Viconia, after you have defeated her, you 
are on your way to victory - the ending  of the romance and the 
fact that she does not want to go out with you because she is 
afraid that she will endanger you.  Whatever she says at the last 
dialogue of the romance, the break up is inevitable but you must 
not let her go from the party.  Keeping her in the party means 
that the romance will have finished successfully even if she 
claims that you and her will never be able to go out again because 
of your differences. 
Steps:	

LD1:	'So...what draws you to this part of Faerun?  Amn?  Athkalata?  I 
seem to recall you mentioning some mission or some other bother.'	
	

	Choose option 2

	'How are you going to hunt down these culprits who ambushed you?  
Vermin rarely leave scent or footstep.'	

	Choose option 1

LD2:	'It's a strange time along this Sword Coast.  The brink of war was 
averted, but the countryside remains hazardous to the citizenry.'

	Choose option 1

	'The war your half brother nearly started.  What do you think I 
was speaking of?

	Choose option 1

	'Perhaps 'his' war died.  That does not mean that other conflicts 
won't arise.  Perhaps I ramble on, if you wish I'll stop bothering 
you.'

	Choose option 1

	'It has been trying past endurance (char name) (sigh).'

	Choose option 1

	'My neighbour was Roran Midfallow, a stout sun burnt farmer.  We 
spoke often and allowed the male to bring me supplies that I 
needed but could not acquire.'

	Choose option 1

	'I had grown weak in my trust.  They chortled as I lost 
consciousness saying how easy it had been and congratulating each 
other on a fine...fine catch.'

	Choose option 1

	'I split the coffin lid and let the earth in.  I clawed to the 
surface, pain did not slow me...I would not let weakness deter me 
from vengeance.'

	Choose option 1

	'He dropped to his knees in shock, which afforded me height 
advantage as I caved his head with a miner's mallet.'

	Choose option 1

LD3:	'I wish to...apologize...for unburdening myself upon you before.  I 
was so foolish to be weak in Beregost, and worse yet to speak to 
you about it.'

	Choose option 2
	'My entire existence has been thus since I left the Underdark.  
Surfacers hate the Drow without relent, and I erred in thinking 
otherwise even for a moment.'

	Choose option 2

LD4:	'I have been watching you for a time as we travel.  You have a 
pleasing look about you, I think.  The sort of musculature that 
would make a woman swoon with desire.'

	Choose option 1

	'Perhaps.  And what do you think of Viconia hmmm?  Does her ebony 
glow spur lustful thoughts?  Does her sharp beauty give you 
singular twinges of desire?'

	Choose option 2

LD5:	'I have been thinking a little.  I have been thinking of the time 
I spent with the rivvil...the humans...and I have found nothing 
redeeming or worthwhile in them.

	Choose option 2

	'Name one surface dweller who has treated me with ANY civility!'

	Choose option 2

LD6:	'So...it must take a very driven man to lead his life always on the 
road.'		

	Choose option 3

	'Yes, I have noticed the type of man that you are.  Intense, 
determined, strong...all the qualities I have grown to like most 
colnbluth exist in you.'

	Choose option 1

	'Our long lives are static, we feel no urgency.  Despite 
appearance, we become complacent.  If the Drow had your drive...it 
would be a Second Age of conquest!'

	Choose option 1

	'It is unfortunate that most of the good traits of the colnbluth 
are held in pale little lives no longer than a firefly's.    Here 
and there they flicker, then sad death.'

	Choose option 1

LD7:	'I have been thinking, and I think that I may have been 
exceedingly harsh in my treatment of you once again.'

	Choose option 1

	'I have toyed with your feelings unfairly, placing you down with 
the other males I have known...and you have not been like them.  It 
was...wrong of me.'		

	Choose option 2

LD8:	'Have I ever told you about how I survived when I first fled to 
the surface?'
	Choose option 1

	'There I was hunted by the dirthiir...surface elves...and their honed 
hatred drove me even further.  I was sure I would perish, never to 
see the Underdark again.'

	Choose option 1

	'Does it amuse you that I had to run my dark hands through his 
sweaty folds and tickle him artfully with my tongue, that he 
exerted himself wildly as I passionately bit his shoulder?'

	Choose option 3

	'Oh do not look at me in such a manner.  Does your manhood wilt 
from talk of using Drow knowledge of the erotic to survive in your 
world?  Is it so terrible?'

	Choose option 1 

LD9:	'Tell me...has there been anyone special to you?  A thief of your 
heart?

	Choose option 2

	'Never a special one who has waited for her hero's return?  The 
idea has value.  I myself, hope to retire to a home that doesn't 
change by the day.'

	Choose option 3

	'You think so?  I cannot wait for the final act of this play, 
then...I am sure it will be worth waiting for.'

	Choose option 1

	'Your heart is heavy with lust and burning desire, and beats 
proudly and strongly...but shall it be mine or another's?

	Choose option 2

LD10:	'What was your life like before you were an adventurer?  Didn't it 
seem simpler?  Less complicated?

	Choose option 1

	'Didn't it seem simpler, easier in flavour?  There were less 
entanglements, far less chaos.  We weren't always exploring some 
dank, ruined place.'

	Choose option 3

	'Do you?  And do you think that such excitement will grip your 
sense forever?  Is there no longing for peace within you (char 
name)?'

	Choose option  3

	'It would be nice, wouldn't it (char name)?  To leave the 
insidious schemes and psychopathic  for madmen for others to 
battle and prevail over?'

	Choose option 2

	'That is an offer worth bearing witness to.  It merits serious 
consideration (char name).

	Choose option 2

	'I will definitely consider its value and place in my life (char 
name).  I appreciate your words of friendship as well...it is not 
words I am familiar with.'

	Choose option 1

LD11:	'Hmmm...I am wondering this:  do you ever entertain the notion of 
marriage?'

	Choose option 2

	'To commit to one person in all matter?  It seems a bizarre 
internment to me, tantamount to slavery.'

	Choose option 1

	'Variety is the spice of life.  The drudgery of having the same 
partner...it would have to be a unique and special person indeed.'

	Choose option  3

	'From what I have seen.  Surface custom is not so different from 
ours.  Of course, Drow culture allows for 'husbands' to be 
disposed and replaced.'

	Choose option 2

	'Perhaps.  I haven't devoted much thought to it, though I have 
noticed that the role of male and female are reversed on the 
surface.'

	Choose option 1

LD12:	'I have been thinking about the Divinity that flows through your 
veins.'

	'Does it fire your ambitions (char name)?  Is there a lust within 
you superceding mere passion, a desire to lord over others as a 
conqueror and superior?'

	Choose option 1

	
LD13:	'Please disregard the things I said to you earlier.  They were ill 
conceived.  You...you are not drow and not worthy of such insults.'

	Choose option 2

LD14:	'I have been told little about this 'Bhaal' of yours, but I am 
unfamiliar with him.  Among the drow, we are taught nothing of 
other gods, and little enough about our own gods beyond Lloth.'

	Choose option 2

	'Yes, gods like Ghaundaur, and Vhaeraun hold some power, but Lloth 
is the strongest by far and forbids even their mention.'

	Choose option 1

	'Nightsinger is a mistress of darkness and loss.  I was born of 
darkness and have lost much: my faith, my home...Shar has returned 
much.  I am greatful to Her.'

	Choose option 1

	'It is difficult to describe.  The Underdark is a place of great 
evil and danger, but also of beauty and wonder.  Would you like me 
to tell you of it?

	Choose option 1

	'But these images pale before memories of the Spider Queen, and 
the worship I began so young.  Beauty is difficult to find in the 
blood that I let flow in her name.'

	Choose option 1

	'He screamed as the blade entered, and split blood when I 
punctured his lungs.  To the delight of the matron mothers I 
pulled out his heart still beating.'

	Choose option 1

LD15:	'Have I told you how it is that I came to flee from the 
underdark?'

	Choose option 1

	'One of the lesser priestesses noticed my hesitation and she took 
the babe's life, herself, eager to usurp my place in Lloth's 
favour.'

	Choose option 2

	'But I refused.  I was disgusted with my Queen, so I cursed my 
mother and endangered my House.  In my naivete I thought that I 
would survive after my actions.'

	Choose option 1

LD16:	'I am ready to continue my tale if you are willing to hear it.'

	Choose option 2

	'I would have died, in fact, were it not for...if it were not for my 
brother.  My poor, foolish brother.  Valas...

	Choose option 2

LD17:	'Tell me something do you have much of a family?'

	Choose option  2

	'I cannot understand the relationships...the closeness that the 
families of the surface retain with each other.  In the Underdark, 
things are very different...'
Choose option  2

'There are normally no...'brothers,' although some males are 
favoured than others.  Most simply exist to serve the Queen and 
House but this is not always the case.'

Choose option 3

'In the end...he saved my life.  He...he prevented my sacrifice and 
killed our mother giving me the opportunity to flee.

Choose option 1

LD18:	'My... brother...is finally what made me break my faith fully from the 
Spider Queen.  His actions, I mean...saving me from sacrifice.'

	Choose option 2

	'I had begun to question Lloth's appetite for power and absolute 
devotion with the child, but  I did not cast her out of my heart 
fully until Valas saved my life.'

	Choose option 1

	'I was forced to flee the Underdark, making my way quickly to the 
surface before the other drow could stop me, cursing and crying 
the entire way.'

	Choose option 1

LD19:	'If you would...if you would please sit with me for a moment, I 
would be thankful.  I find myself uncharacteristically overcome 
with anxiety and am not...eager...to be alone for the evening.'

	Choose option 1

	'I have been...thinking of Lloth.  She is cruel, not known for 
forgiveness...and always takes revenge...collecting the lapsed and 
fallen.  I know she will come for me.'

	Choose option 2

	'It will mean...it will mean nothing.  Lloth's reach is far...and I 
fear there is no escaping it...

	Choose option 1

	'(char name), I am frightened to my very core!  Do not leave me 
alone!  Stay with me this night.  I...I need to feel your flesh next 
to mine, to embrace your strength...'

	Choose option 3

LD20:	'Well I see that you are finally awake.  I hope that your pathetic 
exertions last night brought at least one of us some measure of 
pleasure.'

	Choose option 2

	'It was not.  I have seen limp and blind fish with more virility 
than you.  I would have preferred the crude pawings of a goblin 
than suffered your rough hands.'

	Choose option 2

	'Do not deny your salivating male desires, fool.  I found the 
thought of your touch pleasing, but now I know better...you are 
nothing more than a boy in a man's clothing!'

	Choose option 3

LD21:	'You have no impetus to carve an empire, and you are certainly no 
Lord of Murder.  I have decided you are weak and cowardly, not fit 
for the godsblood flowing within you.'

	Choose option 2

	'You nauseate me (char name)...is it not reason enough?  I look upon 
you and I see something that I would rather squish under my boot.'

	Choose option 2

LD22:	'Do not stand so close to me.  It is bad enough that I have to 
smell your stench on the occasional breeze...must I also bask in 
your rancid aura?

	Choose option 1

LD23:	'I have a confession to make to you.  Give me your ears for a 
moment and listen, if you possess the sense.'

	Choose option 2

	'So then.  What do you think of that (char name)?  What do you 
think of me now?'

	Choose option 4

	'I am a creature of dark lusts you fool!  Why are you not 
disgusted by this?!  Turn away from me, spit on me and curse my 
name I command you!'

	Choose option 3 or 2.  I have chosen 2 and the dialogue ends.

LD24:	*this is triggered by sleeping*

	'(sigh)I...I cast my white flag before you.  I can struggle no more.  
You have...you have defeated me.'

	Choose option 1

	'If you will have me, I shall not push you away again...stay with me 
tonight, (char name), let us be together in earnest.  Let me savor 
the unfamiliar fear that goes with this trust.'

	Choose option 4

LD25:	'A good morning to you.  Or at least, as close to morning as we 
come with these strange hours that we keep.  I trust your 
exertions were worthwhile?

	Choose option 3

	'You are not so terrible, (char name), for a male.'
	
	Choose option 2

LD26:	'Tell me...did Gorion tell you many tales of the Underdark?  Did he 
perchance mention some of the races that lived below?'

	'That and the delight they seem to get from cracking open your 
skull like a hen's egg and drinking everything swimming inside 
your head.'
	
	Choose option 2

	'The first sign of Kuo Toa are the reek of dead fish.  Head away 
from the water they need to survive.    Risking a fight is to 
flirt with the Cold Maiden'

	Choose option 1

LD27:	'Do your people have any kind of rite of passage into adulthood?  
I am curious.'

	Choose option 2

	'He thought me a beggar seeking guidance.  He was surprised when 
he learned I was Drow, but not as much when I used his holy mace 
to cave his forehead.'

	Choose option 1

	'And the act pleased Lloth.  Pleasing the Spider Queen was our 
ethos and our mantra...girding ourselves to conquer the other 
races.'

	Choose option 1

LD28:	'What about the time before the Life?  Before the endless travels, 
days in the dark with death on your heels?  Who was your closes 
ally then?'

	Choose option 2 (what I did anyway but I don't think it really 
matters)

	'Why do you consider him such a good teacher and close friend?'

	Choose option 2

LD29:	'Have you devoted any thought to what you will do once this whole 
business is over with?'

	Choose option 2

	'I have thought on the future myself.  With a little ambition I 
see us carving an empire, ruling a small kingdom, and living in 
the hedonistic luxury that we are meant to!'

	Choose option 2

LD30:	'We are to stop now and rest are we?  I suppose that is good and 
well, as I am exhausted nearly to the point of dropping.  Come, 
then, my mrann d'ssiniss, and let us get our coupling over with 
quickly.'

	Choose option 2

	'I may be tired, but I look forward to showing the arts I learned 
as a Drow.  I hold a degree...of...affection for you (char name).  How 
else am I supposed to show this?'

	Choose option 2 (Please note, because I am extremely drained today 
I can only be doing with the quick but effective measure.  You can 
choose option 1 which is better and then you just have to play it 
by common sense really!)

LD31:	'You are awake I see.  That is good.  I have been watching you for 
some time...thinking.  I wish to share my thoughts with you.'

	Choose option 1 

	In the next dialogue Viconia basically explains that she wants to 
break up with you.  This is inevitable and so don't worry about 
it.

	Choose option 2

LD32:	'I have an odd feeling.  I do not...think...I have ever felt it like 
this before...'

	Choose option 2

	'It is almost as if a dark whisper is traveling Faerun, searching, 
seeking out...something...I...fear it is searching for me.'

	Choose option 1

	'It...no...there it goes.  The feeling...has vanished.  But that does 
not mean it will not return.  I...I am suddenly quite cold inside...'

	Choose option 1

LD33:  *The fight with the demon thing and the handmaiden!  Whooo hoooo!  
Showdown time!  

	After the battle Choose option 2

	Then Choose option 1

LD34:	'Back away from me, you pathetic fool!  Do not cast your eyes upon 
me!  I told you to let me be ilbilith!!  Are you so insipid and 
moronic that you cannot understand such simple instructions?!

	Choose option 1

	'You...you are an affront to me...I wish this had never come to be!'

	Choose option 1

LD35:	'This...is not working...between us.  It will never work, and I think 
you know this.  There can only be one outcome.  This can only end 
poorly.'

	Choose option 2

	'We must poison our hearts, my ssinssrigg...we must do what is 
necessary and cleave us apart before it is too late.'

	Choose option 2

	'There is no way, (char name) you know that.'

	Choose option 2
