Hey hey guys!
I made this video mainly because I wanted to hear this song as an epic orchestra version, and wanted to stretch my chops with my arrangement skills! I am overall pleased considering I built this in just a little free time I had.
Ilyana (the character in question) has been through two different campaigns, Tomb of Annihilation and Waterdeep Dragon Heist. If you know those stories maybe you can make guesses to stuff.
Hope you enjoy!
Lyrics:
It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, it's you and me.
And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh...
You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder.
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts.
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, it's you and me.
It's you and me won't be unhappy.
And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building,
Say, if I only could, oh...
You,
It's you and me,
It's you and me won't be unhappy.
"C'mon, baby, c'mon darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let's exchange the experience, oh...
And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill..
And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.
And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.
If I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems...
"If I only could, I'd be running up that hill.
If I only could, I'd be running up that hill."

This reminds me of the of an NPC my players once encountered. She was a cold, hardened fighter and leader, obsessed with never stopping and was always the first one in the battle. My players disliked her, since she was very harsh to anyone that showed any sign of weakness and oftentimes send soldiers home for no apparant reason. Or so it seemed. Until her backstory was revealed. She was an adventurer, with a kind soul and a big smile. No matter what she had to fight and overcome, she was always hopeful and a beacon of light to other. Thats because she had someone at home she wanted to see again, a husband that waited for her, that she was able to see whenever she came back from her travels. That was until she was gone for a year, lost in the depth of a mountain, losing her whole party and encountering any nightmare imaginable. Her only hope was her husband and after she alone was able to return, she got told that he got killed trying to protect children in an alley. He was not a fighter, just a normal person, but just as nice as she was. She broke and decided to fight any evil that resides in the world, until no one had to go through what she went through. The reason she was so harsh to others was to test them and to not let anyone in. And whenever she send someone away from the frontlines, it was because she overheared that they had someone at home, waiting for them. My player literally started crying hearing her backstory revealed after years of hating her. They thought she was just some "I hate everyone weak" NPC. I was so happy they reacted that way. As a DM, that is something I will always remember.

@patrickhallett6220 Год назад

Who is this character?!?! I must know!! Based on what I can gleam from the animatic (SPOILERS AHEAD), it seems like this person was part of an adventuring group following the Tomb of Annihilation story, but they were captured by the Yuan-Ti upon reaching Omu. However, Ilyana here willingly let them take her prisoner in exchange for letting the party continue their journey. There she likely stayed for years, subject to untold horrors at the hands of the Yuan-Ti, until she somehow got out (escaped, freed, can't tell) and fled to Waterdeep. There were some people there who looked out for her, but the trauma she endured in Chult has left her scarred, physically and mentally, making it difficult for her to live a normal life anymore. Cami, am I at least on the right track? Either way, brilliant cover and amazing story! Center of the target, as per usual :)

@Paytonzane Год назад

I can't stop coming back to this song. I know Tomb of Annihilation and Dragon's Heist very well. I get what's happening in the scene where she's put in the 'well' under a grate and her eyes changing color afterwards; that's the Yaun-Ti Ritual. And, is that a Flametonge or a Sunsword? Either way, such a badass weapon. I'd love to see a write-up or even just a written summary of your character's stories sometime.

@Ghalaghor_McAllistor Год назад

No matter how many pieces you break into, you can always put them back together and become something new. Not all cracks can be seen from the outside so make sure to use your emotions to keep them from getting bigger. And even if they grow, you can always put yourself together again piece for piece until a new artwork is made.

I purposely keep it pretty vague because of a few things. Primarily her story spans over two pre-made modules for DnD, Tomb of Annihilation and Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. I have answered this tho on my patron discord, and if there’s enough demand I’ll add her story to the description of the video!

@@Cami-Cat Thank you! I’m always intrigued with the stories of the characters which you tie to each song.
