===Necromancy of Thay III===
''After giving Astarion the [[Necromancy of Thay]], he begins to study it at camp to unlock its secrets.''


{{Dialogue start}}
'''Astarion:''' Come on, come on. What are you hiding? Can you summon the dead? Bring them back? Can you - ugh, can you shut up and let me read?
{{dopt|'''Player''': I didn't say anything.}}
*'''Astarion:''' What? No - not you.
*{{dact|seebelow|Node02}}
{{dopt|'''Player''': Need some help?}}
*'''Astarion:''' What? No. I - I'm fine.
*{{dact|seebelow|Node02}}
*{{anchor|Node02}}
*'''Astarion:''' I was just perusing this little find and - WILL YOU SHUT UP?!
*'''Astarion:''' Forgive me. This book reads you more than you read it.
*{{dopt|'''Player''': What do you mean?}}
**'''Astarion:''' I mean it plays with your mind. There are secrets here, but the book has spirits. They fight you every step of the way.
**{{dact|seebelow|Node03}}
*{{dopt|'''Player''': Sounds dangerous. Maybe you should leave it alone.}}
**'''Astarion:''' No, there's something in here. But the voices - the spirits in the book won't let me see it.
**{{dact|seebelow|Node03}}
*{{dopt|'''Player''': Give it to me, then.}}
**'''Astarion:''' I can't. I feel a connection with it, but the spirits within fight me at every step.
**{{dact|seebelow|Node03}}
**{{anchor|Node03}}
**{{dcond|If Astarion did not read any pages of the book.}}
**'''Astarion:''' I barely opened it when they started whispering from the shadows.
**{{dact|seebelow|Node03}}
**{{dcond|If Astarion read the first page.}}
**'''Astarion:''' I only read one page before their maddening whispers drove me away.
**{{dact|seebelow|Node03}}
**{{dcond|If Astarion read the second page.}}
**'''Astarion:''' I got deep into the pages of this book before they drove me out. And almost drove me mad.
**{{dact|seebelow|Node03}}
**{{dcond|If Astarion finished the inital reading.}}
**'''Astarion:''' I almost reached the end before they drove me out. And drove me all but mad.
**{{dact|seebelow|Node03}}
**'''Astarion:''' Now every time I open it, the voices surge back into my mind. I can't reason with them - they exist to protect that book.
**{{anchor|Node03}}
**{{dopt|'''Player''': Gale would take it off your hands.}} {{Approval|Astarion|-1}}
***'''Astarion:''' No! He's not eating this one. It's too valuable.
***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
**{{dcond|If the player is Gale.}}
**{{dopt|'''Player''': It's powerful magic, not to be toyed with. I could take it off your hands.}} {{Approval|Astarion|-1}}
***{{dcond|If Astarion knows that Gale needs magic items.}}
***'''Astarion:''' No! You're not eating this one. It's too valuable.
***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
***{{dcond|If Astarion does not know that Gale needs magic items.}}
***'''Astarion:''' Generous, but I'd prefer to keep it. It may be rather valuable.
***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
**{{dopt|'''Player''': What secrets?}}
***'''Astarion:''' I don't know. That's the point - they're ''secret''.
***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
**{{dopt|'''Player''': Is there anything we can do?}}
***'''Astarion:''' Maybe. Maybe not. It's hard to know what's lurking in here.
***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
**{{dopt|'''Player''': Then stop reading it!}} {{Approval|Astarion|-1}}
***'''Astarion:''' No! There's something in here - I know it.
***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
**{{dcond|If the player is a Githyanki.}}
**{{dopt|'''Player''': Then steel your mind and destroy them. Simple.}} {{Approval|Astarion|-1}}
***'''Astarion:'''  I wouldn't be trying to reason with them if 'murder' was an option, would I?
***'''Astarion:''' They're too strong for that. They must be hiding something good.
***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
**{{dcond|If the player is a Cleric.}}
**{{dopt|'''Player''': It sounds like you need an exorcism.}}
***'''Astarion:''' Perhaps. But would that damage the tome itself?
***{{dopt|'''Player''': Probably. It's a tome of necromancy, after all.}}
***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
*** {{dopt|'''Player''': I've no idea.}}
****'''Astarion:''' Thank you, very helpful. But I can't risk it. There's something valuable in here.
***{{dact|seebelow|Node04}}
***{{anchor|Node04}}
***'''Astarion:''' Someone went through a lot of trouble to protect this tome. It has to be something more than a book of cantrips.
***'''Astarion:''' Still, I doubt this will help us with our parasites. Maybe it's better to put it aside for now.
***{{dopt|'''Player''': Yes, best to focus on what's urgent.}}
****'''Astarion:''' Indeed. As long as the spirits remember their mission, the book is a lost cause.
****'''Astarion:''' And I should rest. This has all been a lot.
****{{dact|end}}
***{{dopt|'''Player''': Keep at it. Maybe you'll figure out a way.}}
****'''Astarion:''' As long as those spirits remember their mission, I doubt it. Keeping the book safe is all they know.
****'''Astarion:''' But still, we live in hope. Figuratively speaking.
****{{dact|end}}
***{{dopt|'''Player''': What are you hoping to find in there anyway?}}
****'''Astarion:''' It's a book of necromancy, full of secrets about controlling the dead, returning the dead to life, and who knows what else.
****{{dcond|If Astarion mentioned that his former master's name.}}
****'''Astarion:''' Whatever's in here, it might give me an edge over Cazador. Or free me from him entirely.
****{{dact|seebelow|Node05}}
**** {{dcond|If Astarion did not mention his former master's name.}}
****'''Astarion:''' Whatever's in here, it might give me an edge over my old master Cazador. Or free me from him entirely.
****{{dact|seebelow|Node05}}
****{{anchor|Node05}}
****'''Astarion:''' Although I can't make any progress as long as those spirits remember their mission. It seems to be all they know.
****'''Astarion:''' Still. If nothing else, maybe I can beat Cazador to death with it.
****{{dact|end}}
***{{dopt|'''Player''': I could hold on to it if you like?}}
****'''Astarion:''' Trust me, the spirits won't be any kinder to you. As long as they remember their duty to protect this book, no one's getting in.
****'''Astarion:''' Anyway, I'd rather keep it where I can see it. Its time will come, I'm sure.
****{{dact|end}}
{{dopt|'''Player''': ''Stay silent.''}}
*'''Astarion:''' No, I won't kill them! Well, maybe Gale/Shadowheart/Wyll/the gith/the tiefling...
*'''Astarion:''' I can't. I won't. Now - stop!
*'''Astarion:''' Let. Me. Go! Ah... Hello.
*{{dopt|'''Player''': Good book?}}
*'''Astarion:''' A unique read, certainly. A tome of necromancy, guarded by spirits.
**{{dact|seeabove|Node03}}
*{{dopt|'''Player''': What in the hells was that?}}
**'''Astarion:''' I'm not sure. A dance with death, maybe.
**{{dact|seebelow|Node06}}²
*{{dopt|'''Player''': You're not killing anyone in this party.}}
**'''Astarion:''' Astarion: Of course I'm not. It's just - it gets to you.
**{{anchor|Node06}}
**²'''Astarion:''' This is a powerful book of necromancy, but it's guarded by spirits.
**{{dact|seeabove|Node03}}
{{dopt|'''Player''': ''Leave.''}}
*'''Astarion:''' Just tell me what I need to know. Tell me your secrets. (To the Book.)

==Notes==
* Parsed file: CAMP_DangerousBook_IVB_CFM_Astarion
==Questions==
* Why is there a break before Astarion's disapproval?
* Kill maybe one of the other companions - depending on flirt? It's not related to highest approval.
**A separate line for everyone seems excessive.
* Part of the cleric specific option: (Thank you, very helpful. But ) is in the parsed dialogue but not in game? Possible patch 5 vs 6 difference?
* Can we include pictures? I'd obviously love to!
