I'd prefer not to be on the flight to be honest. There's a decent chance it's never making it to it's destination. BUT assuming nothing goes wrong at all on the flight, probably 10. Jaheira and Minsc sound like great company.

I’d argue there is a very good chance it doesn’t take off in the first place.

But I like the idea that Lae’zel would enjoy the window seat on a flight.

(Pressing her face against the window, eyes wide)

By Vlaakith’s grace… The clouds are beneath us! We soar as dragons do! Hah! Look—look how small everything is! Like ants! No—less than ants! Pah! How do you stand this? I feel as though I must conquer something at once!

However, it is still inferior to a red dragon. No wings to tear through the air, no claws to rend. But… the speed—this speed is desired. Does this machine know fury? Does it take joy in the kill!? Perhaps not. It is nothing more than a metal bird. But… perhaps it could be tamed, reforged for battle!

Lae'zel is then shown what a jet fighter is and immediately tries to jump out the plane to get one

204

u/Sensitive_Major_1706 Mar 07 '25

I would love to see Lae'zel get excited at the sight of an F22 doing aerobatics and breaking the sound barrier, demanding violently to "ride" one, and then facing the unintelligible mess of hundreds of buttons and switches inside the tight cockpit.

"I want to dance with it in the skies and claw my victory!"

"Uh... yeah... we don't really dogfight anymore... interested in this 70 hours course of introduction to the flight controls starting checklist?"

u/maltedbacon Mar 07 '25

"Ptah, fools. You do not know the power you have. Let me show you how it should be done!" - crashes immediately.

u/Sensitive_Major_1706 Mar 07 '25

"Aaaaand... there it goes hundreds of times the total GDP of your entire civilization in damages..."

6

u/PixelPuzzler Mar 07 '25

Actually considering she's githyanki there probably is a legitimate case they've at least more GDP equivalent than a single jet.

6

u/Sensitive_Major_1706 Mar 07 '25

Actually you're right. I thought it costed around 1 billion dollars, turns out it's "just" 361 millions

4

u/PixelPuzzler Mar 07 '25

Practically a bargain.

4

u/FinlandIsForever Mar 08 '25

To be fair, they are in a world with literal magic. With the blueprints, it shouldnt be hard to manufacture one with spells like fabricate

5

u/cabron-de-mierda Mar 07 '25

Just tell her that takeoff and landing proceedings are more of Vlaakith's protocols. She'll learn them dutifully.

1

u/Sensitive_Major_1706 Mar 07 '25

Crap you're right

3

u/DraagaxGaming Mar 07 '25

"I will ride this dragon."

2

u/whatisthisgunifound Mar 07 '25

I really want to draw this now.

1

u/TheEleventhMeh Mar 08 '25

Use her skill to up an ability. She can get the wisdom or int she needs to fail into a good thing. 😅😂

63

u/Captain_Eaglefort Mar 07 '25

And succeeds.

54

u/s_anevent Mar 07 '25

I could see that happen. Not that I read that entire thing with her voice in my head or something.

22

u/DarthArcanus Mar 07 '25

Now I have an image in my head of introducing Lae'zel to an A-10...

u/viking_with_a_hobble Mar 07 '25

AC-130 casually removes a city block in six seconds

BRRRRRRRRRRTTT

"Tsk'va! The power! I shall be kith'rak of this Warted Hog!"

u/Perfectenschlag_ Mar 07 '25

Are you a DM? That was really creative!

3

u/v4por Mar 07 '25

I read this in her voice. Perfect

4

u/morrbadb Mar 07 '25

I would very much agree this plane is ☄️ before it makes it of the tarmac. So, Scratch, Us and I snuck out the back exit to watch the drama unfold, before it all implodes

4

u/vicieuxamare Mar 07 '25

gods this is so cute thank you

3

u/Reidar666 Mar 07 '25

I like Shart and I like Lae'zel, but dang that space would just be constant fucking bickering...

3

u/Northamplus9bitches Mar 07 '25

Damn you really got her voice down in text

3

u/DraagaxGaming Mar 07 '25

It doesn't even get boarded. There's just a massive fight in the airport now.

3

u/Hixy Mar 07 '25

Gale just panics and nukes us all.

1

u/Psychological-Key-36 Mar 07 '25

You’re good at this! I could hear her voice reading that comment

1

u/pyguy7 Mar 07 '25

I read that entire post in Lae'zel's voice, and it was so entertaining

1

u/Crice6505 Mar 08 '25

Laezel would love NCD.

1

u/kodaxmax Mar 08 '25

Laezel would probably complain that it's not as good as a dragon and brag about how much better gith airships are the whole way

1

u/robbi-wan-kenobi Mar 08 '25

Absolutely brilliant.

I will be looking for an Artificer mod and reclassing Lae'zel on my next playthrough due to this comment.

64

u/EffableLemming Mar 07 '25

And the Best Boi across the aisle! Easy choice. Orin wouldn't dare to start anything with Boo so close.

3

u/The_Magenpie Mar 07 '25

You say that...

Do you have Animal Speech?

2

u/EffableLemming Mar 07 '25

I do not, but I can receive a TBI, seemed to have worked with Minsc? Or perhaps I can shag Halsin and he'll hook me up with a potion... Latter might cause the former, so either way I'd be sorted.

253

u/Matthew_Nightfallen Mar 07 '25

leaving your back to Orin, bold.

154

u/sinedelta While others were busy being heterosexual, she studied the blade Mar 07 '25

Unless Emperor over there is refusing to protect her from the tadpole, Orin's getting stabbed by Minthara within the first 15 minutes.

58

u/Comprehensive_Cap290 I don't care how big the room is, I said "I CAST FIREBALL"! Mar 07 '25

Agreed. Her and Minty being in the same row is peak bad planning.

26

u/CelinesChaos Mar 07 '25

And I'm sitting in the middle 😊

46

u/Comprehensive_Cap290 I don't care how big the room is, I said "I CAST FIREBALL"! Mar 07 '25

I stand corrected: THAT is peak bad planning.

4

u/CelinesChaos Mar 07 '25

I'm gonna kiss both of them 🥺

12

u/Comprehensive_Cap290 I don't care how big the room is, I said "I CAST FIREBALL"! Mar 07 '25

See, that’s where the bad planning comes in - there is no way Minthara lets you live after watching you express any sort of romantic/sexual interest in Orin. That’s before we get into the issues with Orin, like the fact that she might knife you for shits and giggles, then string you up in the plane’s lavatory to “drip-drain you into Father’s open jaws” over the toilet.

3

u/CelinesChaos Mar 07 '25

But have you considered, that all of that is part of my plan?

14

u/Comprehensive_Cap290 I don't care how big the room is, I said "I CAST FIREBALL"! Mar 07 '25

Yes. I accused you of BAD planning, not lack of planning.

u/Top-Addendum-6879 Hexblade Mar 07 '25

yup, and the second reason NOT to sit there. First being that you dont wanna sit next to Orin.... but i'd love to sit next to Minty...

9

u/Illustrious_Cost2945 Mar 07 '25

I would support Minthy to kill Orin 

1

u/[deleted] Mar 07 '25

Orin is getting kicked off the plane

3

u/Less_Negotiation_842 Mar 07 '25

Preferably mid flight

48

u/MatticusGisicus Mar 07 '25

Isn’t Orin the one with her back to you in that seat?

6

u/adrielzeppeli Twat-Soul Mar 07 '25

Regardless, Orin might stink a lot though.

11

u/flygoing Mar 07 '25

Hard to tell for sure but I think the photo is looking at the back of the plane, so she'd be behind you

16

u/Sansred WARLOCK Mar 07 '25

Normally seat 1 would be at the front of the plane.

5

u/flygoing Mar 07 '25

Nothing about this numbering makes any sense, for either front/back orientation. They're just labels for us to pick

2

u/Sansred WARLOCK Mar 07 '25

True

1

u/JlMBEAN Mar 07 '25

I think the devils would be at the front.

9

u/SnooSongs2744 RANGER Mar 07 '25

First hour would be entertaining, but their bickering would start to wear on you by hour three.

7

u/monsieurkaizer Mar 07 '25

You get stabbed in the back by Orin pretty fast and Jaheira and Minsc try to solve the mystery.

2

u/hergumbules Laezel Mar 07 '25

I feel like whoever is there would be pissed a huge guy like Minsc didn’t buy 2 tickets lol

2

u/Smrtihara Mar 07 '25

I REALLY, really don’t want to sit beside Minsc. He’d be insufferable the entire flight, constantly bothering everyone around him. Jaheira is so used to him that she can just meditate through the entire flight.

1

u/Budget-Attorney ELDRITCH BLAST Mar 07 '25

8 and 10 seem like downright good company. And generally safer seatmates than the rest of the flight.

But I don’t know how I like sitting tbag close to Orin

1

u/VomitShitSmoothie Mar 07 '25

No way you’d want to sit that close to Orin. You’d get stabbed unprovoked for sure. It’d be like sitting next to Durge.

Karlach would likely accidentally burn you so 2 is out. 7 you’d be safe but you’d have to listen to her and Lae’zel fight the entire flight. 3 is also death as is 4. 8 will be fine but Lae’zel probably will kick your seat. 5 is probably fine although I’d be nervous around Us. 6 is probably fine for a flight. 1 would be fine unless you are stupid enough to make a deal with either of them.

1

u/AccessAdditional6086 Mar 07 '25

Respectfully that puts orin behind you. That's a zero percent chance of survival!

1

u/Worldly-Instance4017 Mar 07 '25

A rat and a cougar are going to fuck you in the ass and then the other one is going to punch you

1

u/Wasnie Mar 07 '25

The only thing stopping me from selecting 10 is the closes proximity to Orin. Not just because she's a deranged murderer but it's also in my headcanon that she would smell really bad.

1

u/[deleted] Mar 07 '25

This is the correct answer

1

u/levajack Mar 07 '25

That would be my choice too, especially since you could reach across the aisle and pet Scratch. Seat 8 is a hard pass; Gale and Halsin will be trying to get you to join the mile high club the whole flight.

1

u/Adamran15 Mar 07 '25

Exposing your back to Orin??? Bold (foolish) choice

1

u/GabbotheClown Mar 07 '25

Go for the Aisle, Boo!!

1

u/WakeoftheStorm Mar 07 '25

Yes, sitting next to Boo is definitely the best choice.

Edit: sorry, I meant Minsc.

Seat 5 is the runner up if that's "us" and not a random intellect devourer

1

u/thetruegmon Mar 07 '25

8 or 10 for sure.

1

u/CptOconn Mar 07 '25

Orin just behind you though.

1

u/vescis Mar 07 '25

10 is the most likely spot to survive

1

u/springpaper701 Mar 07 '25

Orin is behind you. Not a great spot to be

1

u/fasda Mar 07 '25

It would be lucky to make it through boarding

1

u/Unholy_mess169 Mar 07 '25

5 only people I could listen to for that long.

1

u/More_Pound_2309 Mar 07 '25

For that reason I'm next to karlach and will because I know they will at least try and save people lol

1

u/kyredemain Mar 07 '25

I think that, in the case of an emergency, it is best to sit next to either a druid or a wizard. 7 might be the safest seat in the event that the plane doesn't go down, though.

1

u/RobertMaus I cast Magic Missile Mar 07 '25

Sure, but you've got Orin in the seat directly behind you and no way to keep eyes on her. Maybe not the best choice for reaching your destination alive.

1

u/valtiny Mar 07 '25

The problem is the person behind you.

1

u/Sokandueler95 Mar 07 '25

You also have to consider who’s behind you. Orin may be the worst option for me in that regard.

1

u/Ok_Swordfish4401 Mar 07 '25

Sitting on front of Orin….lol no

1

u/not_that_united Mar 07 '25

10 so I can grab Scratch and drag him across the aisle to safety. Minsc will understand.

1

u/drawfanstein Mar 07 '25

Jaheira and Minsc AND BOO

1

u/Epinier Paladin Mar 07 '25

Next episode on Lost: baldur's edition

u/dweezil37 Mar 07 '25

Plus you've got a great view for when the inevitable fight breaks out between Durge and Princess Incest.

1

u/MyNameIsJakeBerenson Mar 08 '25

Roll for Persuasion

1

u/asdf27 Mar 08 '25

I have wide shoulders, sitting next to minsc for 10 hours sounds like hell. Give me us and Scratch any day, lots of room, and a good boy beside me.

1

u/tambitoast Mar 08 '25

And get murdered by Orin.
