Astarion (X:174, Y:287) can be recruited immediately after the [[Prologue]] by moving northwest of the [[Nautiloid]] wreckage to the [[Ravaged Beach]]. Astarion is by the cliffs and shouts out to the party for help as they approach. He states that one of the "brain things" is nearby and he needs help killing it. The party can either agree to help him, to which they'll realize it was just a boar, or turn away and tell him he seems strong enough to handle himself. Either way - Astarion pulls a knife on the player. If a Perception check is failed, then Astarion sneaks behind the player and pulls them to the ground, holding a knife to them. If the Perception check is passed, then he simply holds the knife out in a defensive stance. | Astarion (X:174, Y:287) can be recruited immediately after the [[Prologue]] by moving northwest of the [[Nautiloid]] wreckage to the [[Ravaged Beach]].

He asks the player what they did to him and what they know, saying he saw them walking around freely on the Nautiloid. The player can attempt to deny that they are a servant of the Mind Flayers, but ultimately the tadpole power connects the group and clears up the misunderstanding. Astarion puts his knife away and apologizes for nearly gutting the player. The player can either leave Astarion on the beach or offer for him to join them, as they have a better chance of finding a cure for their tadpoles as a group. If offered, Astarion happily joins the party. | He asks the player what they did to him and what they know, saying he saw them walking around freely on the Nautiloid.

A Gur monster hunter named [[Gandrel]] is in the [[Sunlit Wetlands]]/[[Putrid Bog]]. If he's spoken to, he reveals that he's looking for a vampire spawn in the area and he may have to make a deal with the local [[Auntie Ethel|hag]] to find him. There are several possibilities for how the conversation can pan out: | A Gur monster hunter named [[Gandrel]] is in the [[Sunlit Wetlands]]/[[Putrid Bog]].

[[File:Astarion Back Scars Quest.jpg|thumb|Astarion's back scars.]] | |||
Players who romance Astarion can learn more about Astarion's scars by having a tryst in the forest with him. Astarion can propose this through speaking with him in the party/at camp after gaining high approval, or he can propose it during the Goblin/Tiefling party if [[Save the Refugees]] was fully completed. After a night of passion, the player wakes up to see Astarion bathing in the sun with his back to them, showing strange scars. Asking about them, Astarion explains they're supposedly a poem carved into his flesh by Cazador in a single night, with heavy revisions. He refuses to elaborate more. | Players who romance Astarion can learn more about Astarion's scars by having a tryst in the forest with him.

[[File:Astarion Araj Quest.jpg|thumb|Astarion reluctantly drinks Araj's blood.]] | |||
An optional scene that is important to Astarion's story arc can be found in [[Moonrise Towers]]. [[Araj Oblodra]] is a blood alchemist and trader, who has a particular interest in vampires. If Astarion is in the party, she asks the player if Astarion is their spawn. She explains that she's always dreamed of having her blood drunk by a vampire since she was a little girl. She is willing to give a legendary [[Potion of Everlasting Vigour]] to the party if Astarion drinks her blood. Astarion is visibly disgusted and, if asked why, explains that her blood smells foul and that he doesn't want to do it. The player can insist he get over it or insist to Araj that Astarion doesn't have to do it if he doesn't want to. | An optional scene that is important to Astarion's story arc can be found in [[Moonrise Towers]].
