Summary
Everyone looks different under the moonlight. All of the contestants have been changed, but no two feel the same way about what they've become.
Or; fourteen characters, and just as many opinions on their moonscorched forms.

Summary
“Well. I am a creative type,” Tav continued, confidence clearly bolstered. “I guess it makes sense that I’m gifted with more than just musical talents.”
Astarion cringed internally, but he kept it off his face with decades of practice. ’Gifted’ was an awfully strong word, after all, considering the abomination he was trying not to look at.
In which bard!Durge discovers he should really stick to music, and Karlach is a great wingwoman. Or, two different versions of how "Tav draws Astarion so he can see what he looks like, but badly" could go. (Stand-alone missing scene from Act 2).

Summary
She certainly must be hearing things, Shadowheart decided, when the bard stomped past and kicked one of the downed skeletons with a grumble that sounded a lot like, “not even any good for eating, no meat at all.”
The day had been long, and the stress was getting to her, was all.
The Durge wakes up on the beach more urge than person. Bafflingly, no one notices. Or, the feral!Tav fic two people asked for.

Summary
"There's more writing on the bottom of the bowl," Shadowheart said. She was crouched down and pointing to markings on the underside of the creepy, bloodstained altar.
"Is there? What does it say?" Gale asked, shuffling on his knees to get closer to where she was pointing.
"He's going to crawl around like this and then complain about his knees all the way back to camp," Astarion muttered, sounding half amused and half exasperated. Karlach chuckled just a little, because he was right. Talk about being your own worst enemy: Gale versus his knees and back.
"It says 'within each self a monster'," Shadowheart read off of the underside of the bowl.
"Oh, this is very interesting," Gale said. "The blood spilled in the bowl will touch the other phrases, but not this one. I think that marks it as optional. I've heard of something like this before. Azuth set out trials for young mages where one could mark certain incantations with chalk and leave others blank, indicating how difficult a challenge one was willing to face."
"This would make the trial harder?" Shadowheart asked, straightening. "A more difficult test?"
