If kept a spawn, Astarion acts like his former self: flamboyant, energetic, and happy to be killing, though this time as a valiant adventurer. He has grown acclimated to living in the darkness, developing a renewed sense of self that is accepting of his own identity and nature. | If kept a spawn, Astarion acts like his former self: flamboyant, energetic, and happy to be killing, though this time as a valiant adventurer.

Ambient chatter from Astarion as a spawn has him bemoan that Withers has brought fine wine from all over the world, but hasn't thought to bring even a single bottle of fresh blood. He goes on to try the reddest wines available, but none are blood. | |||

Halsin does not have any major changes to his behavior or appearance at the party.{{Verify}} He will talk of settling down in Reithwin to help rebuild the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], ask for a story from the player to bring back to his hordes of adopted children. Before the player leaves their conversation, he will give them a {{RarityItem|Whittled Duck}}. | Halsin does not have any major changes to his behavior or appearance at the party.{{Verify}} He will talk of settling down in Reithwin to help rebuild the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], ask for a story from the player to bring back to his hordes of adopted children.

Ambient chatter from Halsin has him surprised Withers has brought so much food, considering he is mostly made of bone. He theorizes that Withers wishes to live vicariously through everyone else's appetites. He also notes he should exercise restraint with the alcohol, lest he lose his faculties and ruin the party's vibe as a wildshaped bear. He is very happy to be among old friends and in nature. | |||

If she became a Mind Flayer, she will appear as she did in the final battle. She talks slowly and airily, reporting that she still feels like herself but that eating brains has enriched her with lifetimes of additional thoughts and memories. She sustains herself through an arrangement with a healer for terminally-ill patients, who consent to donate their brains to her diet. | If she became a Mind Flayer, she will appear as she did in the final battle.

Ambient chatter from Karlach as a Mind Flayer has her note that the reunion is a lovely occasion, but she she'll soon get hungry. She expresses pity that mutton chops no longer interest or sustain her, and reminds herself not to think about any of the local brains - lest she tempt herself. | |||
If she went to Avernus, she will be excited to have discovered a lead on permanently fixing her soul engine: blueprints for one of Zariel's secret forges. If she did not go to Avernus, she does not show up because she is dead. [[Shadowheart]] will lament the lack of her presence, and after conversing with [[Withers]] it is revealed that Karlach was not brought back because she did not want to return. | If she went to Avernus, she will be excited to have discovered a lead on permanently fixing her soul engine: blueprints for one of Zariel's secret forges.

If Lae'zel sides with Orpheus and departs with him to wage war, she will appear at the party as a glowing Astral Projection. She recants the player with tales of victory, her diplomacy mission to the [[Githzerai]], and her new appreciation for things other than battle. | If Lae'zel sides with Orpheus and departs with him to wage war, she will appear at the party as a glowing Astral Projection.

Ambient chatter from Lae'zel as an Astral Projection has her relieved her projection is holding. She is glad to see Fae'run's skies again, having learned much during the adventure. She is especially pleased at the community and revelry happening on the eve of their victory. | |||
If Lae'zel sides with Orpheus and stays in Faerun, she launches a crusade to slay every Vlaakith-aligned Githyanki outpost on the Sword Coast. | If Lae'zel sides with Orpheus and stays in Faerun, she launches a crusade to slay every Vlaakith-aligned Githyanki outpost on the Sword Coast. | ||
==== Minthara ==== | ==== Minthara ==== | ||
Ambient chatter from Minthara has her wrlyly suspect there have been other reunions to which she hasn't been invited, that all the heroes gathering together paints a target on the party for hostile attack, and that she is becoming accustomed to the taste of surface-grown plants. | |||
When spoken to, Minthara bemoans the party's lack of extravagance and asks if the player regrets their decision not to control the Absolute. She then reveals she's since returned to the Underdark, despite being an apostate of Lolth, and is gathering like-minded individuals to reclaim her family house and wage war on the Spider-Queen. | |||

Shadowheart's behavior is determined by the outcome of [[Daughter of Darkness]], whether she rejected or embraced [[Shar]], and whether her parents are alive or not. | Shadowheart's behavior is determined by the outcome of [[Daughter of Darkness]], whether she rejected or embraced [[Shar]], and whether her parents are alive or not. | ||
Ambient chatter from Shadowheart has her pleased at the quality of wine Withers brought for the party, before promptly wondering why the party had to scavenge food from barrels and crates during their adventure when WIthers could've fed them. She then recalls a night where fourteen apples, some fish heads, and stale bread were served for dinner. | |||
If she rejected Shar and euthanized her parents, she embarks on a life of adventuring and slaying Sharran assassins, telling of visiting the Temple of the Moon and encountering an imp named [[Bing-Bong]]. | If she rejected Shar and euthanized her parents, she embarks on a life of adventuring and slaying Sharran assassins, telling of visiting the Temple of the Moon and encountering an imp named [[Bing-Bong]]. | ||

Wyll's behavior is determined by the outcome of [[The Blade of Frontiers]], whether he went to Avernus or stayed to become a Duke, and whether he is still a Warlock or escaped his contract. | Wyll's behavior is determined by the outcome of [[The Blade of Frontiers]], whether he went to Avernus or stayed to become a Duke, and whether he is still a Warlock or escaped his contract. | ||
Ambient chatter from Wyll has him enjoying the song, company, wine, and especially the fresh air. He wishes the night could last forever. | |||
If freed of his contract, he becomes a [[Ranger]]. If he becomes the Blade of Avernus, he arrives smelling of sulfur and dressed in spiky armor that, he claims, was made from the shattered bones of slain fiends. He will share that he has a lead on getting closer to claiming his revenge on Mizora. | If freed of his contract, he becomes a [[Ranger]].
