| |
| '''Astarion:''' Come on, come on. What are you hiding? Can you summon the dead? Bring them back? Can you - ugh, can you shut up and let me read?
| |
| {{dopt|'''Player''': I didn't say anything.}}
| |
| *'''Astarion:''' What? No - not you.
| |
| *{{dact|seebelow|Node02}}
| |
| {{dopt|'''Player''': Need some help?}}
| |
| *'''Astarion:''' What? No. I - I'm fine.
| |
| *{{dact|seebelow|Node02}}
| |
| *{{anchor|Node02}}
| |
| *'''Astarion:''' I was just perusing this little find and - WILL YOU SHUT UP?!
| |
| *'''Astarion:''' Forgive me. This book reads you more than you read it.
| |
| *{{dopt|'''Player''': What do you mean?}}
| |
| **'''Astarion:''' I mean it plays with your mind. There are secrets here, but the book has spirits. They fight you every step of the way.
| |
| **{{dact|seebelow|Node03}}
| |
| *{{dopt|'''Player''': Sounds dangerous. Maybe you should leave it alone.}}
| |
| **'''Astarion:''' No, there's something in here. But the voices - the spirits in the book won't let me see it.
| |
| **{{dact|seebelow|Node03}}
| |
| *{{dopt|'''Player''': Give it to me, then.}}
| |
| **'''Astarion:''' I can't. I feel a connection with it, but the spirits within fight me at every step.
| |
| **{{dact|seebelow|Node03}}
| |
| **{{anchor|Node03}}
| |
| **{{dcond|If Astarion did not read any pages of the book.}}
| |
| **'''Astarion:''' I barely opened it when they started whispering from the shadows.
| |
| **{{dact|seebelow|Node03}}
| |
| **{{dcond|If Astarion read the first page.}}
| |
| **'''Astarion:''' I only read one page before their maddening whispers drove me away.
| |
| **{{dact|seebelow|Node03}}
| |
| **{{dcond|If Astarion read the second page.}}
| |
| **'''Astarion:''' I got deep into the pages of this book before they drove me out. And almost drove me mad.
| |
| **{{dact|seebelow|Node03}}
| |
| **{{dcond|If Astarion finished the inital reading.}}
| |
| **'''Astarion:''' I almost reached the end before they drove me out. And drove me all but mad.
| |
| **{{dact|seebelow|Node03}}
| |
| **'''Astarion:''' Now every time I open it, the voices surge back into my mind. I can't reason with them - they exist to protect that book.
| |
| **{{anchor|Node03}}
| |
| **{{dopt|'''Player''': Gale would take it off your hands.}} {{Approval|Astarion|-1}}
| |
| ***'''Astarion:''' No! He's not eating this one. It's too valuable.
| |
| ***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
| |
| **{{dcond|If the player is Gale.}}
| |
| **{{dopt|'''Player''': It's powerful magic, not to be toyed with. I could take it off your hands.}} {{Approval|Astarion|-1}}
| |
| ***{{dcond|If Astarion knows that Gale needs magic items.}}
| |
| ***'''Astarion:''' No! You're not eating this one. It's too valuable.
| |
| ***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
| |
| ***{{dcond|If Astarion does not know that Gale needs magic items.}}
| |
| ***'''Astarion:''' Generous, but I'd prefer to keep it. It may be rather valuable.
| |
| ***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
| |
| **{{dopt|'''Player''': What secrets?}}
| |
| ***'''Astarion:''' I don't know. That's the point - they're ''secret''.
| |
| ***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
| |
| **{{dopt|'''Player''': Is there anything we can do?}}
| |
| ***'''Astarion:''' Maybe. Maybe not. It's hard to know what's lurking in here.
| |
| ***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
| |
| **{{dopt|'''Player''': Then stop reading it!}} {{Approval|Astarion|-1}}
| |
| ***'''Astarion:''' No! There's something in here - I know it.
| |
| ***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
| |
| **{{dcond|If the player is a Githyanki.}}
| |
| **{{dopt|'''Player''': Then steel your mind and destroy them. Simple.}} {{Approval|Astarion|-1}}
| |
| ***'''Astarion:''' I wouldn't be trying to reason with them if 'murder' was an option, would I?
| |
| ***'''Astarion:''' They're too strong for that. They must be hiding something good.
| |
| ***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
| |
| **{{dcond|If the player is a Cleric.}}
| |
| **{{dopt|'''Player''': It sounds like you need an exorcism.}}
| |
| ***'''Astarion:''' Perhaps. But would that damage the tome itself?
| |
| ***{{dopt|'''Player''': Probably. It's a tome of necromancy, after all.}}
| |
| ***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
| |
| *** {{dopt|'''Player''': I've no idea.}}
| |
| ****'''Astarion:''' Thank you, very helpful. But I can't risk it. There's something valuable in here.
| |
| ***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
| |
| ***{{anchor|Node04}}
| |
| ***'''Astarion:''' Someone went through a lot of trouble to protect this tome. It has to be something more than a book of cantrips.
| |
| ***'''Astarion:''' Still, I doubt this will help us with our parasites. Maybe it's better to put it aside for now.
| |
| ***{{dopt|'''Player''': Yes, best to focus on what's urgent.}}
| |
| ****'''Astarion:''' Indeed. As long as the spirits remember their mission, the book is a lost cause.
| |
| ****'''Astarion:''' And I should rest. This has all been a lot.
| |
| ****{{dact|end}}
| |
| ***{{dopt|'''Player''': Keep at it. Maybe you'll figure out a way.}}
| |
| ****'''Astarion:''' As long as those spirits remember their mission, I doubt it. Keeping the book safe is all they know.
| |
| ****'''Astarion:''' But still, we live in hope. Figuratively speaking.
| |
| ****{{dact|end}}
| |
| ***{{dopt|'''Player''': What are you hoping to find in there anyway?}}
| |
| ****'''Astarion:''' It's a book of necromancy, full of secrets about controlling the dead, returning the dead to life, and who knows what else.
| |
| ****{{dcond|If Astarion mentioned that his former master's name.}}
| |
| ****'''Astarion:''' Whatever's in here, it might give me an edge over Cazador. Or free me from him entirely.
| |
| ****{{dact|seebelow|Node05}}
| |
| **** {{dcond|If Astarion did not mention his former master's name.}}
| |
| ****'''Astarion:''' Whatever's in here, it might give me an edge over my old master Cazador. Or free me from him entirely.
| |
| ****{{dact|seebelow|Node05}}
| |
| ****{{anchor|Node05}}
| |
| ****'''Astarion:''' Although I can't make any progress as long as those spirits remember their mission. It seems to be all they know.
| |
| ****'''Astarion:''' Still. If nothing else, maybe I can beat Cazador to death with it.
| |
| ****{{dact|end}}
| |
| ***{{dopt|'''Player''': I could hold on to it if you like?}}
| |
| ****'''Astarion:''' Trust me, the spirits won't be any kinder to you. As long as they remember their duty to protect this book, no one's getting in.
| |
| ****'''Astarion:''' Anyway, I'd rather keep it where I can see it. Its time will come, I'm sure.
| |
| ****{{dact|end}}
| |
| {{dopt|'''Player''': ''Stay silent.''}}
| |
| *'''Astarion:''' No, I won't kill them! Well, maybe Gale/Shadowheart/Wyll/the gith/the tiefling...
| |
| *'''Astarion:''' I can't. I won't. Now - stop!
| |
| *'''Astarion:''' Let. Me. Go! Ah... Hello.
| |
| *{{dopt|'''Player''': Good book?}}
| |
| *'''Astarion:''' A unique read, certainly. A tome of necromancy, guarded by spirits.
| |
| **{{dact|seeabove|Node03}}
| |
| *{{dopt|'''Player''': What in the hells was that?}}
| |
| **'''Astarion:''' I'm not sure. A dance with death, maybe.
| |
| **{{dact|seebelow|Node06}}²
| |
| *{{dopt|'''Player''': You're not killing anyone in this party.}}
| |
| **'''Astarion:''' Astarion: Of course I'm not. It's just - it gets to you.
| |
| **{{anchor|Node06}}
| |
| **²'''Astarion:''' This is a powerful book of necromancy, but it's guarded by spirits.
| |
| **{{dact|seeabove|Node03}}
| |
| {{dopt|'''Player''': ''Leave.''}}
| |
| *'''Astarion:''' Just tell me what I need to know. Tell me your secrets. (To the Book.)

| * Parsed file: CAMP_DangerousBook_IVB_CFM_Astarion

|
| |
| ==Questions==
| |
| * Why is there a break before Astarion's disapproval?
| |
| * Kill maybe one of the other companions - depending on flirt? It's not related to highest approval.
| |
| **A separate line for everyone seems excessive.
| |
| * Part of the cleric specific option: (Thank you, very helpful. But ) is in the parsed dialogue but not in game? Possible patch 5 vs 6 difference?
| |
| * Can we include pictures? I'd obviously love to!
