Questions

Why is there a break before Astarion's disapproval?
Template says two = for Introduction. Wouldn't three look better? Below I used three.
- Sidenote: I would prefer three = to be a font size smaller than two, bigger than the actual text in the article, but not bold.
Include Origins? How?
Can we include pictures? I'd obviously love to!

Astarion

After giving Astarion the Necromancy of Thay, he begins to study it at camp to learn its secrets.

Astarion: Come on, come on. What are you hiding?

Player: I didn't say anything

Astarion: What? No - not you.
Astarion: I was just perusing this little find and - WILL YOU SHUT UP?!
Astarion: Forgive me. This book reads you more than you read it.
Player: What do you mean?
- Astarion: I mean it plays with your mind. There are secrets here, but the book has spirits. They fight you every step of the way.
- (If Astarion did not read any pages of the book.)
  - Astarion: I barely opened it when they started whispering from the shadows.
  - (See below)
- (If Astarion read the first page.)
  - Astarion: I only read one page before their maddening whispers drove me away.
  - (See below)
- (If Astarion read the second page.)
  - Astarion: I got deep into the pages of this book before they drove me out. And almost drove me mad.
  - (See below)
- (If Astarion finished the inital reading.)
  - Astarion: I almost reached the end before they drove me out. And drove me all but mad.
  - (See below)
- Astarion: Now every time I open it, the voices surge back into my mind. I can't reason with them - they exist to protect that book.
- Player: Gale would take it off your hands.
  -1
  - Astarion: No! He's not eating this one. It's too valuable.
  - (See below)
- Player: What secrets?
  - Astarion: I don't know. That's the point - they're secret.
  - (See below)
- Player: Is there anything we can do?
  - Astarion: Maybe. Maybe not. It's hard to know what's lurking in here.
  - (See below)
  - Astarion: Someone went through a lot of trouble to protect this tome. It has to be something more than a book of cantrips.
  - Astarion: Still, I doubt this will help us with our parasites. Maybe it's better to put it aside for now.
  - Player: Yes, best to focus on what's urgent.
    - Astarion: Indeed. As long as the spirits remember their mission, the book is a lost cause.
    - Astarion: And I should rest. This has all been a lot.
    - (End of dialogue)
  - Player: Keep at it. Maybe you'll figure out a way.
    - Astarion: As long as those spirits remember their mission, I doubt it. Keeping the book safe is all they know.
    - Astarion: But still, we live in hope. Figuratively speaking.
    - (End of dialogue)
  - Player: What are you hoping to find in there anyway?
    - Astarion: It's a book of necromancy, full of secrets about controlling the dead, returning the dead to life, and who knows what else.
    - (Astarion mentioned that his old master's name is Cazador.)
      - Astarion: Whatever's in here, it might give me an edge over Cazador. Or free me from him entirely.
      - (See below)
    - (Astarion did not mention his old master's name.)
      - Astarion: Whatever's in here, it might give me an edge over my old master Cazador. Or free me from him entirely.
      - (See below)
    - Astarion: Although I can't make any progress as long as those spirits remember their mission. It seems to be all they know.
    - Astarion: Still. If nothing else, maybe I can beat Cazador to death with it.
    - (End of dialogue)

Player: Leave

Astarion: Just tell me what I need to know. Tell me your secrets. (To the Book.)
