Angsty post-Strahd campaign AU where Zade leaves abruptly after defeating Strahd because he's cursed and a bad boy and emo about it. Elias has to hunt him down under the pretense that Zade is cursed and Elias wants to help him but maybe he's just gay
Tomb of Annihilation Campagin: Sometimes you watch the party wizard get charmed and put his head right into a guillotine trap in a deadly tomb of horrors and everyone screams as the trap SNAPS DOWN ON HIS NECK and somehow does not kill him. Very traumatic
name formalities (or lack thereof). elias is a formal paladin who insists on using last names to address others, while zade.... loves coming up with cutesy nicknames. also spoilers: elias never manages to request zade use his full name. he is too weak
zade has roped elias into fishing in the river, which involves zade clearing the water with his magic so elias can stab fish with his sword. its actually been somewhat successful lol
