Synopsis:
Following a trail of whispered ADs ('Psst. Over here!' 'Come on, before it's too late!') we find a pale elf, hunched down near some long grass. He insists an intellect devourer (brain monster with legs) is hiding there, trying to cajole you to look and kill it. If you approach the grass, a boar bursts out - it was a distraction while Astarion got behind you. He's on edge, but pleased to have the jump on you. He holds a blade to your throat while demanding you tell him what happened on the ship. After a mind meld (vision where he sees a glimpse of your past) you can convince him that you're both victims and should work together to find an answer. Once he realises you're not a threat his tone changes from threatening to charming.
