August 2018 - Side Stories Spoilers!

Okay, we're back! It's a bit unfortunate that I'm offering two of the same options, but I'll try to add in a few spicy details to make you interested in which outcome you get. Remember, these side stories can potentially matter!

Selys Shivertail - Still extremely plot-relevant, enough so that I might have to write her in anyways. This is about Selys receiving her uncle's remains, gaining a new class, and, well, becoming a more important character. We know so little about Erin's best Drake friend, and she really does seem like the one normal person in all of this. But is she really? And if she is, what will events force her to become?

Letters to Wistram - Maybe Wistram's important. Maybe people write letters to friends. Maybe Pisces corresponds with a certain Golem. Maybe Ceria asks for help. Maybe Falene writes to ask about two 'supposed' Wistram graduates she's met. Maybe we get to see a bit of what happens when these letters get read. Maybe it's interesting? That was a lot of maybes. But perhaps we might learn something plot-relevant too. Something...foreshadowing.

Octavia the [Alchemist] - What DOES an [Alchemist] do all day? Make potions. Duh. But Octavia's an up-and-coming [Alchemist]. She was low-level but thanks to a certain [Innkeeper] and Runner, she's gained a bit of fame and money. But the door to Pallass is open, and the Walled City has some of the best [Alchemists] in the world. Does Octavia have what it takes to rise to the occasion, or will she be stuck as a local [Herbalist]? And what does it mean for Erin if Octavia succeeds? Find out more in Octavia: Buying and Selling Stuff! (Not the actual title).

Hmm. Hope that helps. You probably could have guessed a lot of that, but I do try to add in some little details. It'll probably be more interesting next month if I change up the lineup for some completely different stories. Hope this informs your vote. Either way, thanks for pledging!
