    Synopsis:

    COM dialog with the prisoners in Cazador's Palace. Astarion meets Sebastian - a young man he seduced and brought to Cazador - for the first time in 170 years. Astarion was sure Sebastian was dead, but Cazador secretly turned him into a vampire spawn. If you aggrevate Sebastian, he'll be so full of hate and pain that he'll curse you.
