Continuing romance with Astarion in Act 2 (post Patch 3) | Baldur's Gate 3

it feels like we're being watched hunted even but there's nothing out there only more Darkness I much prefer it when I'm the one prowling in the shadows about to strike sorry did you want something or just looking for a distraction stop who's there so you can fry Us Alive I don't think so come into the light hands high I've been thinking about the ruins Cazador carved into my back I don't know much about infernal but I know anything written in Devil script is going to be bad news I'm afraid that through those ruins somehow Cazador might still be able to dominate me oh yes we all got the same treatment but I can't exactly stroll up and ask to look at their backs can I they're still under cazador's clawed thumb no I thought I might ask someone else our devilish friend Raphael if anyone's going to know about infernal text he will well we won't know until we ask now will we unfortunately he comes and goes in his own schedule so we'll just have to look out for any sulfurous odors or the sound of questionable poetry meanwhile I think I'll spend some time studying the art of infernal negotiations thou Hast now a bosom companion take care that thou art not distracted on my quest seeking the Comforts of the flesh recall that in time all becomes dust and Bone so the untouchable carlac is Untouchable no more i' shake her hand but she can still snap me in too so uh probably safe is to skip it it's not a plan yet more a Feeling Just an itch at the back of my mind but I know I'm missing something whatever Cazador did to me me it was more than his usual sadism it had purpose once I know what that purpose was maybe a plan will present itself but for now I just need to scratch this itch are you satisfied keep quiet and you won't have to find out good little hero it doesn't spoil the taste if that's what you're wondering you will be refreshed and I will be reassured you don't know what you're missing this is my territory and you're in it I'll allow it you've had enough now go quickly your move M you tra me I didn't even want to take this one Calum Shan rules dear the first piece touched is the first piece moved that's garbage no matter where the night goes I'm going to lose it then make the sacrifice useful guard your mistra or come for my syak what's going on here look who made it for once I said your butt out there didn't I we're Square now Chief say do you play Lance Ball by any chance it's my first time playing the Keen gleam in Maul's eyes reveals the lie she knows the game well and she wants to win [Music] [Music] how's that for sham rolles braa lovely work I see I was right to make you the offer I did you will consider it won't you what a lovely specimen she is a blushing Apple begging to be plucked please let me smack this creep she cheated of course but that's half a charm to play the game the vast Lance Board of souls but don't you worry about Maul it goes without saying she still has the unconditional freedom to choose the only option she has has left now let's talk about you I sense there's something you want to ask me I do I have a proposal for you a proposal if you're hoping to taste my blood little vamping think again it burns hotter than Wyn whiskey this is serious business devil my a long time ago someone carved infernal ruins into my back there a fragment of a contract I'd like to know what the full contract says oh such impatience it's something very important to your master but is it a love letter a warning or a deed of ownership I could give you all the Gory details but of course you'll have to do something for me first let me think about it and get back to you you'll get back to me this is important devil when don't worry I'm motivated to help you scars often tell such wonderful stories I think yours might be truly Exquisite I'll see you soon a haunting face swims into your mind's eye its instructions Vivid in your mind nothing is more important than bringing the girl alive what's going on if you have something to say say it pathetic the absolute sees all your treachery will be punished you know I feel a connection between us like we're two Souls walking the same path you might be a little naive in the ways of the world but I see promise in you ambition just that you have a big heart you like doing what's right so I was thinking what would be the right thing to do when we get to moonrise Towers when we come face to face with whoever is controlling the parasites in our [Music] heads Gods they're trying to think outside the box just a little consider the parasites in our skulls and think think how many others have the mine flares infected hundreds thousands and they're not just Goblin trash there are powerful people in the worm's Thro whoever's waiting for us at moonrise Towers controls it all but if we can take that control from them imagine the power would wield that's just the thing if we control the parasites then we can order them not to change us all the power with none of the tentacles I'm just saying there's an opportunity here if we can control the tadpoles we can keep ourselves safe and Liberate the world from this evil so much for thinking you had ambition still we're not there yet maybe you'll see the light yet my pixie dust is bright as day my injuries can light the way it seems like a fitting punishment for a poet Dolly thanks you for your sympathy now sorcerer kindly Set Me Free it would be my pleasure truly once I'm freed I'll help you Julie finally yes darling Cazador s at seven spawn me and my six brothers and sisters he always insisted we were a family even when he was carving scars into our flesh I was one of his first some of the others came years later he was a monster to us all but did take special pleasure in my pain he said my screams sounded sweetest now that I'm gone I I don't know I pity the other six their incisions are as yet still strict with imprecision that much I must concede how to steady their hands I want [Music] Wonder yes for are we not all in need of a cure come I will acquaint you with the lady's dark fingered [Music] [Music] embrace your diligence is exemplary very well your own scalpel you will be our hero thought but a treasure ahead did not consider the Peace of the Dead through the dark she went creeping and awoke what was sleeping a new Grave they dug which she herself fed until it was perfect I've grown quite fond of you you know in my way I thought it only fair to warn you about the dangers ahead Intrepid as ever it would be pointless of me to try to BU you from entering but I can set the scene as it were prepare you for your role I already did if through the dark you go creeping and awake what is sleeping chances are many more Graves than yours alone will soon be fed very well there is a creature that lurks in silence and Shadow a creature who like me is very much of the infernal persuasion should it make its way out through the very doors you are about to brazenly swing open you will have Unleashed a pestilence upon this realm in truth it is Carnage incarnate so if you meet the devil of which I speak kill it consider no other course of action this creature and I go back a long way I admit it would be in my best interest as well should it remain trapped in the dark or misplace its head perhaps I should not relish its reacquaintance let's leave it at that listen here pipsqueak do not underestimate this opponent at best you will have the blink of an eye to strike strike First Strike true defy the odds for they are distinctly in its favor that much I owe the bastard to concede and don't think I've forgotten your tale asarian when the Beast is dead I'll consider that payment enough to translate those scars of yours a fairer deal than I expected you wound me Spawn I always deal fairly and will close this particular deal soon enough Vanquish the Beast and all will be revealed I did miss that face you [Music] know i' trust a devil over a vampire any day I think he likes us am I not the very definition of careful huh this Temple certainly is Grand oh well it's a rundown bearing the weight of centuries sort of of grand which is my favorite kind incidentally what's this fresh entertainment but you're too fresh for this place aren't you there's a whiff of the surface to you a new arrival then you borrow too deep little rabbit I don't talk to prey I there's something else almost hidden by your Fierce stink cherries musk and sulfa Raphael I can smell him all over you where is he that perfume trickster swindled me trapped me where is he spit it out now what are you doing the devil told us to kill this thing so let's stop chatting and kill it bargaining are you a kator warlord once tried the same I made him watch as I et's concubines in young then fashioned a codpiece from his skull you can't help it's not just walles that keep me here not the traps the dark or the creatures it hide something stronger holds me a contract either I fulfill the contract die trying or forfeit my freedom if I leave this place now I'll become Raphael slave Raphael is no foolish story devil his mind is different sneaky listen spill or the blood swor to the night silence oppress smother each right Wonder sh Halls hungry to slay leave no justi here alive to obey leave none to hear it then be set free this song is your o swear swear it to me well that explains where all the dark justi is went this song differs from others you've studied the final coulet contains a trick a clause not easily [Music] fulfilled that's it so he's the one who slaughtered the justicier can we kill him now because if he doesn't die then Raphael won't tell me a damn thing about my scars parchment burn oral agreements aren't worth the tongues they're waggled out Upon a Song thingers Raphael made double sure of that I can't forget the damn thing so long as my words not finished I did as instructed but the song Still rattles about in my head the contract still stands somehow if I break it I will become ref I'll slay forever anyway enough prattle the lyrics are clear all who hear the song Must Die time to Die the Americans they barely have a thought to share among themselves but they do have ears kill yourselves back to the hells with you I still hear it seems your theory is wrong kill Nessa stay very still my beauty I still hear it if you're wrong about this I'll claw my way out of the furnace and Eat You Alive contract be damned nicely played Raphael bastard that silver tongue of yours is dangerous Bravo can't believe you actually pulled that off yes darling the oron is nothing I'll have my satisfaction when Raphael makes good on his word h H thank you for helping me it was very kind do you know what happens when a devil is struck down on this charming plane of existence it returns to the hells to the very point where it last stood before venturing to whichever devil forsaken plane it died on in the case of our friend Yar the orthon you so handily dispatched in the temple of sha he manifested in my house of hope he returned to me chastened but intact his wounds healed his body restored he thought I would dismember him but he has his uses so instead I am re-educated edating him we delivered the devil now I want what I'm owed we had a deal indeed we did I discovered all there is to know about those scars of yours it's a rather Grim tale even for my tastes as you wish brace yourself a St Aran we're about to unveil your destiny carved into that Ivory skin of yours is one part of an infernal contract between the arch devil mephistophiles and your former Master kazador Zar in full the contract states that kazero will be granted knowledge of an infernal ritual so violent well it has never been performed the right of profane Ascension it promises to be a marvelous ceremony very elaborate incredibly ancient and entirely diabolical if he completes the right he will become a new kind of being the vampire ascendant all the strengths of his vampiric form will be Amplified and alongside them he will enjoy the luxuries of the living the arousers and appetites of man will return to him and unlike a starian you will have no need of a parasite to protect him from the Sun but the ritual has its price as all worthwhile things do Lord Cazador will need to sacrifice a number of souls including all of his vampiric spawn if he is to ascend imagine how he felt then when one of those precious spawns simply disappeared Into Thin Air the only missing ingredient is aaran you are the final piece he requires to complete complete the ritual your scars bind you to it your soul will set off a very wave of death bringing Cazador his Twisted life and that my tragic and toothsome friend is that now if you'll excuse me I have business elsewhere [Music] H it's a lot to take in what do you think I should do I hate how right you are I knew he wouldn't leave me alone even when I was just another wretched toy for him to play with but if I'm the key to this power he craves he'll hunt me to the ends of fyon I need to take the fight to him and I need you to help me thank you I collect the toll I collect the gold gold gold gold no I pay it back TR make it drank be you and I both to our good health now tell me the story a fa aaga me the world of Ward tell of foes failed villains vanquished Beast bastard heavy I did miss that face you know the thing that will decide my fate forever more yes it's been on my mind [Music] why well in theory it's simple destroy cador stop ritual that's assuming we want to stop the ritual what I've obviously thought about it if I was the one who completed the ritual I'd have such power and I could walk in the sun without fear i' turn into a mind flare a Pity then that it's not your decision to make of course I don't even know if I could complete the ritual it may be impossible but it certainly is tempting before anything else I need need to know where it's happening to the public Cazador is an ordinary Noble a little reclusive perhaps but just another of the Great and the good of Boulder's Gate he has a grand palace on the hills of the gate where he hosts the city's High Society I don't know if he perform the ritual there feels too public it'd risk exposure mopes is one of the Lords of the nine Hells Raphael is not going to let any a be tracked back to him perhaps Raphael even will gain from setting us on this course who can say all I know is I need to unravel the secrets around cazador's ritual and I can only do that in Boulder's Gate that's far enough his thoughts invade your own probing for purchase your parasite purs in recognition ah one blessed like myself what news true Soul who better to suso is like you'll find Z in the audience chamber true Soul she'll be wanting to hear from you well then let's not keep awaiting praise the absolute you feel her will surge outwards and envelop the creature inexorable as the [Music] tide so no Barnabas we talked about this like a road Tor beneath the blade the connection simp s here in the seat of the absolutes power your authority over them is complete they will obey any command report to me upstairs when you're done please you got to help me for old time's sake uh oh crap you going to enjoy this ain't you every emotion soaks into her mind's palet but there is purpose to her exploration she is searching for proof of your faith my my Your Lust For the neck pricker is succulent I'd like to take a bite out of him myself she gave me everything I wanted to take without asking to feel without doubting and to kill without consequence in a word freedom why not what's the point in power if you don't get to have a little fun every now and again she gave me the power to cut the thread of life with a thought do you have a moment I I think we need to talk oh yes I'm fine I just feel awful look I had a plan a nice Simple Plan seduce you sleep with you manipulate your feelings so you'd never turn on me it was easy instinctive habits from 200 years of charming people kicked in all you had to do was fall for it and all I had to do was not fool for you which is where my my nice Simple Plan fell apart you you're incredible you deserve something real I want us to be something real I just don't know what real looks like not after 200 years playing The Rake being close to someone any kind of intimacy was something I performed to lure people back for him even though I know things between us are different being with someone still feels tainted still brings up those feelings of disgust and loathing I don't know how else to be with someone no matter how much I'd like to really you you're full of surprises aren't you honestly I have no idea what we're doing or what comes [Music] next but I know that this this is nice araj o blra Trader in Blood and the sanguinous Arts it is a pleasure to stand before a true soul and your pale companion I'd like to offer my services if you're willing please you

with your blood with one drop I can brw a rather potent potion for you the rest I keep for myself no idea but it will be unique to you your blood Essence and the absolutes blessing intertwined we can learn exactly what that means together H research naturally a little experimentation perhaps I have an innate curiosity for all things sanguin just a little prick and it's all over close your eyes there we are all of your very best traits in a bottle use it well although perhaps there's one more thing we could discuss your vampiric friend oh don't worry we're all friends under the absolute I won't bite oh I prefer if you did I assume he belongs to you I'm sure he really believes that how utterly adorable do you have a name sporn staran hold on good now aarian I've dreamt of being bitten by a vampire since I was a young girl I'm sorry you want to be bitten to fill your life's blood slipping away to dance on the edge between life and death yes I want it I'll even compensate you a potion of Legendary Power that forever increases the strength of the one who consumes it it's not for sale but it's yours if you bite me I will have to decline excuse me this is is a once in a lifetime opportunity and you're squandering it I gave you my answer can't you talk some sense into your obstinate charge how very disappointing Gods you're beautiful us I still love the sound of that
