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 {{Quest|Save the Refugees}} was completed. After a night of passion, the player character 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. | ||
If the player character has high approval with Astarion, a scene occurs at camp during a Long Rest. Both romanced and unromanced player characters can witness this scene, although romanced player characters can see this as early as [[Act One]], while it triggers in [[Act Two]] for unromanced player characters. Astarion is shirtless and tracing his fingers against his back. The player character can ask him what he's doing; he can be coaxed to explain that he's trying to determine what the words on his back mean. With a {{Ability Check|Arcana|10}}, the player character can attempt to decipher the runes and ascertain that they are Infernal. Characters who can understand Infernal, such as tieflings, can read the sigils as a bunch of jumbled Infernal legalese that's part of a contract. | If the player character has high approval with Astarion, a scene occurs at camp during a Long Rest.
