Astarion: Difference between revisions

If the party stopped the ritual peacefully by persuading him to be better than Cazador or euthanizing a different spawn during the battle, Astarion's sunlight vulnerability spontaneously returns to him a few minutes after defeating the Netherbrain, ending the hope that his immunity from the tadpole might be permanent. After quickly saying goodbye he is forced to run away and find shade, but the narrator or another companion reassures the player character that he will be safe. Back to a normal vampire spawn, Astarion continues adventuring on his own as a nighttime assassin—but a heroic one who only kills "the right people" that deserve it. Instead of grieving over his inability to be in the sun, he develops a renewed sense of self, accepting the dark as a part of him and being driven by his newfound inspiration of hope rather than fear. If romanced, the player character can join him in these adventures, or if romanced with {{CharLink|Karlach}} in either's origin, he can instead join her in [[Avernus]].
