Our first illustrated potion! @ButturdApple absolutely killed this thing. We love it so much.
Can you see the hidden lil' guy drowning in the bottle? >.> Reblog if you can!
Potion of the Tidal Waves
Consumable, rare
“This bottle looks to contain a small portion of a storm at sea. The waters foam and froth as they crash against the glass. Occasionally, small bolts of lightning strike within it.”
Consuming this potion changes the damage type of your weapon to force damage for 1 minute.
When you take the attack action, you can choose to do a wide magical cleave attack, hitting any creature adjacent to your original target. Make separate attack rolls for each creature, dealing damage on a successful hit and knocking them prone.
The effects of this potion end after 1 minute or when you’ve used the cleave attack 3 times.

This has been said before but it is silly to me how people complain* that Gale eats all your magic items when he in fact eats exactly 3. And there are so many fairly useless magic items in the game! And many that are class-specific that none of your companions can use anyway!
The pacing though of when you give him the items is funny to me, because you can end up giving him all 3 WELL before you finish act 1, so he’s just sort of… actively dying for rather a long time (this isn’t a criticism, act 1 is very big and with that comes a bit of wonky pacing which I honestly don’t mind).
* I’m referring to actual complaints and not memes and jokes

Camelia route gets officially dubbed the "we are so broke" playthrough. I don't know if it's because as a wizard I'm taking long rests more often, or am I scribing more spells, but money and food are NOT on my side. Camelia's selling tin cups she finds in abandoned houses at this point.
Also my girl had 4 magic items, Gale. Now she has 2 magic items, Gale. One of the items she gave you was Not So Useless to wave it off. The sacrifices this lady makes for you, I swear. I hope you'll make her happy at least.

What do you think about the whole Anne wanting the christening robe from Catherine that she brought from Spain?
The Lady, not being satisfied with what she has received already, has solicited the King to ask the Queen for a very rich triumphal cloth which she brought from Spain to wrap up her children with at baptism (en temps de la tesme (?) qu. baptesme?), which she would be glad to make use of very soon. The Queen has replied that it has not pleased God she should be so ill advised as to grant any favor in a case so horrible and abominable.
Chapuys to Charles V. (July 1533)
So, I mean...there's no record of this response, or any letters, that corroborate this incident? And there should ostensibly be a few, right? At the very least the letter requesting it and the letter of refusal.
All that's left, really, is to argue for the likelihood based on what we know.
Against: Anne doesn't seem to have wanted reminders of Catherine around? She didn't like that Henry's shirts were being made for her by that reason, it's theorized she "could not abide the sight" of monkeys because they were Catherine's favorite pets, etc.
Moreoever, the argument Borman has made that this was a symbol of legitimate royal blood, I mean...sure, it definitely was, but it was passed down through the Trasmataras? It seems strange that Anne would request it as seeing her future child as an extension of that dynasty, actually, it makes like...no sense. Had the christening robe been one used by Henry and his siblings, perhaps his mother and theirs, and for some reason Catherine had this in her possession, then it would make sense.
And doubly, the argument Henry was making at this time was that his children by Catherine could not have even be bona fides, because the marriage contravened divine law. So, the christening robe, as far as their perspective would have went, would actually be associated with illegitimacy (since it was used for the children of Henry and Catherine), thus asking for it would be contradictory to the beliefs they espoused, as would the imagery of that symbol.
Since it doesn't make any sense even as far as symbolism goes, if Anne requested it, the gesture could only have come from a place of cruelty and pettiness. There's reports of Anne being petty and cruel, so that does nothing to disprove anything, really. In this vein, Elizabeth Norton states that Anne “spotted an opportunity to continue her persecution of Catherine”.
So, maybe the argument can be made that the request was not even so much a symbol of power and legitimacy, as it was that the robe was said to be very beautiful and Anne thus wanted to use it? With perhaps the added benefit that some of her detractors might recognize it and seethe, Ainsi sera, groigne qui groigne
For: Anne did, if memory serves, take several items from the inventory of Catherine's goods and used them in her household, as did Henry. I have the quote of these items from a biography saved somewhere, I would have to find it, I can't remember if they were sort of more generic, utilitarian objects (gilt pitchers, that sort of thing) or if there were any that displayed Catherine's actual symbols. Either way, this demonstrates that Anne was not that adverse to reminders of Catherine surrounding her, so lends credence to the claim made by Chapuys here.
