    Synopsis:

    Dalyria and Petras at the flophouse.
    They are looking for Astarion at the place where they used to "hunt".
    This is a dialog for when they meet Astarion-companion with player-Avatar.
    They will tell Astarion they must inform Cazador that Astarion is back in the city. They will also reveal that Cazador is planning a ritual that requires all the spawn and that will grant them new powers.
    If the player & Astarion know that Cazador is actually planning to sacrifice all the spawn, he might be able to convince the spawn about this sacrifice. In exchange, they will reveal a bit of information about Cazador's Palace.
    After the dialog they disappear as clouds of mist.

    How to trigger:

    Origin Debug Book (Ctrl+Shift+7)
    Astarion - Recruit - As Companion
    Astarion - Act 3 Origin Moments - Vampire Spawns Duo at Flophouse
    Walk in the direction the player character is facing.
    Click on Petra or Dalyria.
