Tags: Codex Original Sin KickStarter Campaign; Divinity: Fill in the Blanks Competition; Divinity: Original Sin

We have about a dozen spare Divinity: Original Sin keys to give away after Angthoron's been handing them out to our campaign backers. What better way to figure out who to give them to then to hold a competition!

Because we backed the D:OS KickStarter to the tune of a cool $11,327.70, it makes us eligible for a whole bunch of stuff which you can see below.

To enter, simply provide a name / description / message or whatever is required for one, or all of the categories below. We'll give an alpha key to the best entrant in each category. And if your entry is really good, we'll likely use your entry for the special Codex version of D:OS (or however it is that works so that this stuff ends up in the game).

7. Divinity: Original Sin Design A Henchman
Name: Theodore 'Boozebelt'
Henchman Type: Wizard+Club wielding maniac
Backstory: Once a promising student of magic, Theodore was kicked out by his tutor and banned from any further learning, after a very unstable experiment involving a sheep, garlic and a bottle of wine.
Theodore now takes to the bottle to forget his frustrations, and when drinking won't do, he takes to clubbing people with utter enthusiasm. While capable of a few powerful spells, his near-permanent state of inebriation means that he'd to blow up the wrong target more often than not. On the other hand, he can club people very well.

 

[Broseph]

10. Divinity: Original Sin Design An NPC

Name: SMA
Race, Gender: Human Female
Description: A tall, mannish looking young woman who speaks with a lisp. Since the earliest years of her childhood, SMA knew she was a female. After spending years searching for a wizard to change her sex, she returned to her village only to find that she was not accepted there, so she turned to a life of prostitution. She is very articulate and speaks in an eloquent, flowery language and is fully capable of holding deep conversations with the PC on a variety of topics. But, call into question her lifestyle choices, however mildly, she will enter a fit of rage and threaten to leave the village forever. Provoke her once more and she will drop her skirt, revealing a foot long, throbbing, fully erect hyperweapon. She will proceed to (tastefully) rape the PC.

 

[Bubbles]

I know I'm supposed to scoff at this, but I'd do just about anything for a quick (saved) buck:

1. Elegantly written Message

To my future heir,

I have made a great fortune by doing even greater evil. Now I find myself drifting on the open ocean, pushished for my innumerable crimes. As penance, I have decided to bequeath all my worldly possessions to one lucky stranger.

With this message you will find:

1 bottle of infused Petrovian Whiskey (empty)
1 sheet of Master Abedan's fine grain paper (watermark of Lucian Eagle rampant in upper right corner)
1 drawing of a lovely maiden by the renowed artist Benedict Lucian

May this message bring you great comfort in troubled times,
Lord Lucian

(Beneath the message you find a faded drawing of a well endowed female elf stroking an eagle.)

2. The Butcher of [name of the smallest farm village in the game] (black cat with red snout and paws)

3. (I had to look up what this was, and it sounds really fucking dumb. This is the treatment it deserves)

A: Have you ever been in love, friend?

B1: Ah, I feel that my true love is yet closer than we both think! -> AA

B2: Alas, but no. Love still eludes me.-> AB

B3: None of your business, chum. Let's move on! [End]

AA1: [blush deep red] Oh my... err... hhh.... yes. [End]

AA2: Hrm, yes. Good talk. Maybe you should take the lead for a while...[End]

AB1: Ah, 'tis the same for me. How good to commiserate among friends! [End]

AB2: [flustered] Oh... well... okay then! Back to business for us, two fine friends on the road![End]

4. Don't trust the wood carvers.

5. Blind Pete

This skeleton has two lumps of coal stuck in its eye sockets.

6. The Beast of Legend (any creature)

You could swear that you've heard of this creature before, but you can't quite remember the details right now. Maybe you should read fewer books.

7. Hubert the Evaporator (sneaky, carries the biggest hammer possible)

A professional assassin who specializes in leaving his victims in a totally unrecognizable state.

8. Soap + Stick = soap on a stick

- a piece of lavender soap

- a bent stick

-> a ingenious invention that is sure to extend your life span by many years (confers 10% protection from diseases or weak debuffs for 5 minutes)

9. Filthy Sock

- The value of this clothing item is immeasurable, but only your truest friends will ever understand this.

can be offered to people to lower their opinion of you. Nobody will react positively to this item, ever.

10. Struggling Vixen

(dwarf woman, as ugly as possible)

11. Natas the Black

Elderly human male, will be encountered in a tavern. Very charming. Asks the players to collect apples for him, warns of demons lurking about, makes ambiguous references to the main plot, etc. Quest should be trivially easy to do; however, players will encounter an old crone that warns of dire consquences ("hark, infernal fires!") if players do not disable the huge burning furnace in an abandoned, cobweb-filled house nearby. This should be harder to do (locked doors, guard dog in the bag, maybe an old ghost woman haunting the place muttering about a "terrible blackness").

If players complete both tasks, Natas will leave the tavern and return with a freshly baked apple pie that gives a very neat (permanent?) bonus when eaten, boasting that this this is his finest creation to date. If they only complete the first part, he will return covered in soot (hence the name!) with a horribly burnt pie that gives no bonus whatsoever, but makes an off-handed remark that helps solve a difficult puzzle later on.

4. Don't trust the wood carvers.

1. Divinity: Original Sin Personal Message In A Bottle

You opened it . Good Luck. Tonight at midnight your true love will realize they love you. Something good will happen to you at 1:30 to 4:30 pm tomorrow, it could be anywhere. Tonight at midnight they will remember how much they loved you. You will get the shock of your life tomorrow, a good one. If you break the chain you will be cursed with relationship problems for the next 2 years. If there is someone you once loved, or still do, and can’t get them out of your mind, re-send this in another bottle within the next 5 mins. Its amazing how it works. If you truly miss someone, a past love, and can’t seem to get them off your mind…. then re-send this!

I'd like something like this. When you get introduced to him, you'll hear nothing about his drinking, but you'll get clues about it in the guise of that nice fireball at your back during that important battle.

[made]

Don't need alpha key, but the game desperately needs a

White Wolf Puppy named Furald (Fellard in the German version). You kick and beat him with a stick, but the little bugger skillfully rolls away and tries to hump [female PC]'s leg.

1. Divinity: Original Sin Personal Message In A Bottle

You find a slip of parchment inside the bottle, wrapped around a scrap of cloth with some writing on it. The cloth reads:

Lord Pennington,

I was able to obtain passage in Cyseal on The Gilded Eel. However, we came across a terrible maelstrom that destroyed the ship, leaving me the only survivor. I am now stranded on a island about 50 leagues west of the Orobas Fjords. I've managed to convince the captain of a passing mailing ship to deliver this message, but he refused to take me aboard, saying that I was "bad luck". Damned sailors! Have you ever heard such a load of superstitious nonsense?

Please send help. Provisions are running low, and as you know my mission is of vital importance to the fate of Rivellon.

Ever your faithful servant,
Percival

The parchment reads:

Dear Sir or Madam,

It is with the greatest regret that I inform you that His Majesty's Royal Courier Service has been dissolved and is no longer accepting new deliveries. Enclosed is the message you provided for us to convey. Sadly, as a result of our dissolution we cannot deliver it in person, but we hope that this message finds you well.

9. Divinity: Original Sin Design An Item

The Codex of Pestilential Thought & The Grimoire of the Inconceivable (found together)

The Codex contains many pearls of wisdom. However, to read it is to risk descending into madness. Use (one-time): +1 to intelligence, -1 to perception.

The sub-header of this grimoire states "You don't even know what you don't know." It appears to be an unfinished work, and although you can sense something great residing within, you cannot access it. Use: None (for now).

I am of a species of aliens that exist as a two-dimensional thought being, which humans perceive as a sheet of parchment! I would very much like to get to know you and offer you our technology to improve life for your planet! I hope you are not too squeamish, as I am currently having sex with your hand! It is very exciting! Your hand is amongst the best I've ever had! Soon, your hand will be the host to many of my children and explode with what appears to be a million tiny sheets of parchment all fluttering away to search for their own way in life! I'm so proud of you for being a mother!"​

Yours faithfully, SIR COMMANDER RHODE, ESQ. Ph.D(Dragon Slaying)

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as one carved into a tree.
-Woodcutter Whitman

(...I think the original poem was actually by Joyce Kilmer, but I like the alliteration of "Woodcutter Whitman".)

Spoiler

Codexian version:

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a forest of pussy

Scratch that, full Codexian version:

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as GD

A poster inane, deranged, or pissed
Against this gay earth, beneath my fists

A tranny that looks at GD all day
Accused of causing society's decay

A post that may in Retardo
Prove as beloved as Fargo

Plane tickets, train tickets, or a bus
Which is better and why? Discuss!!

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only GD makes insanity.
