Cazador Szarr: Difference between revisions

== Act Three ==

Once in Baldur's Gate, the party can hunt down Cazador at [[Szarr Palace|Cazador's Palace]]. He is eventually found in [[Cazador's Dungeon|his Dungeon]], revealing that the ritual required not just the seven Vampire Spawn he sired, but rather thousands of others. The "meals" [[Astarion]] brought Cazador were not for him to feed on, but rather prepared and turned into spawn for use in his ritual. Upon encountering Cazador, he will reclaim [[Astarion]], and begin his attempt to use him for the ritual. Should the player free [[Astarion]], and defeat Cazador, [[Astarion]] readies himself to take over the ritual, and absorb the power for himself - only for Cazador to reveal that if he were to continue the ritual himself, he would simply be consumed for it, as he has the marks of the pact on his back, and the ritual will still take his soul as a result, as it requires an exact amount of souls. An important choice follows.

Should the player succeed on a skill test, Astarion will not continue the ritual for himself, and stab Cazador to death, falling to his knees, and sobbing, finally free from Cazador's tyrannical fist.
