Synopsis:
Astarion and the player he's in a romantic relationship with talk in a private bedroom in an inn, the morning after spending the night together after saving the world. A discussion of what comes next ensues, varying depending on how Astarion's story unfolded. He could:
- Have killed Cazador and taken power to become the Vampire Ascendant.
- Have killed Cazador and stayed a spawn (with reactivity to whether or not he killed the Spawn Prisoners.)
- Not killed Cazador.
