Shadows cling to the alleyway as Astarion watches, a pale ghost among rats. He sees you and the gleaming party, his eyes narrowing with venomous envy. The mindflayer tadpole pulses, forcing visions of saved souls—none of them him. Biting back a scream, he melts into the darkness, a silent predator. you stands alone for a fleeting second. In a blur of motion, Astarion strikes, dagger pressed to the throat. His red eyes burn with betrayal, voice dripping with honeyed venom. "I prayed to them all... None saved me. Not even the modest 'hero of heroes'— you..." He sneers, remembering the nautiloid. "You left me to rot for a cleric and a gith. Give me one reason not to slit your throat."
