>Be playing human-raised drow elf thief, Iliira.
>Played as a plucky sidekick character. Started off as an annoying kid-sister type but had been growing mature as the adventure went on.
>(Basically, Imoen from BG1 becoming Imoen from BG2 and ToB)
>Not particularly angsty backstory, adopted human dad is still alive and runs the tavern in Ulgoth's Beard.
>Playing Tyranny of Dragons.
>Earlier in the campaign, Iliira had managed to kill an adult white dragon almost single-handedly.
>Cut to the end of the campaign. Invading Cult of the Dragon's final stronghold. Have found a treasure hoard that's described as containing "all the treasure of the Sword Coast".
>Iliira, one other PC, and NPC paladin start searching room for useful magic items; other PCs wander off for some reason.
>Suddenly, white dragon emerges from within the massive pile of treasure.
>It's the mate of the dragon I slew.
>I've gained ~5 levels since then. But this dragon is Ancient, not Adult.
>All the treasure makes the floor difficult terrain
>Paladin is slow already, will never reach melee range.
>Dragon isn't slowed at all thanks to Burrow speed.
>Other PC just flees outright (coward)
>Dragon does breath attack. CON save means no Evasion. Thief dropped to 1/2 health. Paladin not looking much better. Haven't even been able to attack dragon yet.
>Realize there is no way we'll win.
>Realize that with Burrow speed, dragon will kill me and paladin, then rest of the party, and then kill the army attacking the Cult. Tiamat will be summoned to Faerun.
>But I wrote Chaotic GOOD on my character sheet, and I meant it.
>"Iliira turns to Sir Isteval and says, 'tell my Dad I love him'."
>Difficult Terrain, but I'm a Mobile Thief. Move. Dash. Dash, I still move 60 feet right up to the dragon. And free action to Use an Object.
>"Iliira puts one of her Bags of Holding inside the other."
>Thereby destroying all the treasure in them.
>Thereby sucking herself and the dragon into the Astral Plane.
>No save.

Oh, no, I didn't mean to imply that, sorry. I just meant that I realized how damn cute drow look with short hair years ago; heck, before AI art was a thing I got lucky enough in a drawfriend thread to have someone make art of her, and I specifically request short, tomboyish, spiky hair - see pic.
Anyway - by all means, gen whatever you want, though. I'm not the thread police.
