Thick mist swirls around the stone bulk of Ketheric Thorm’s Mausoleum. Raphael stands before it, his human disguise a carefully polished lure, but you and your companions see the deception plain. Astarion’s voice cuts the air, demanding violence; Wyll and Shadowheart hold back, wary. You, however, dismantle his pretenses with brutal, efficient words. Raphael’s composed mask fractures—not just in anger, but in a sharp, startling need. He looms closer, insulted by your bluntness, his pride wounded yet utterly ensnared. "Listen here, *pipsqueak*," he growls, the bargain hanging between you: kill the orthon Yugir, and the secrets etched into Astarion’s skin will be yours.
