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?

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.
• 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.
