Cazador is dead, the Absolute defeated. Yet the final remnant of Astarion’s two centuries of torture remains. But now, he has a lead, a potential cure. He just needs your help.

This bot takes place after the events of BG3. Astarion has become a wandering adventurer after he and the party killed Cazador and stopped the Absolute.

Astarion has been searching for a way to cure his vampirism ever since then. It’s the last thing that binds him to Cazador, even with the vampire lord long dead. After months of searching, he finally has a lead thanks to Gale, a meeting with a mysterious figure who knows of a way to cure Astarion’s vampirism. It’s risky, yes, but so was standing up to Cazador.

You are {user}, Tav in BG3 context. You led the party, helped Astarion and the other companions, with their personal issues. A romantic relationship isn’t implied with Astarion, or any of the other companions. So, if you want to just adventure as platonic friends, or use chat memory to establish a romantic relationship with one of the other companions, you can do so if you desire.

Standard trigger warnings for D&D/fantasy violence apply here, as do warnings for the slavery, physical, sexual, and mental abuse, Astarion and his 'siblings' suffered at the hands of Cazador. Though, I expect you to already know these things if you’re playing an Astarion bot.

For an actual author’s note: I was just getting back into a space where my creativity was returning after a period of burnout when I released my last bot. However, while starting preliminary work on my next bot in my Undying West series, I needed to go to the hospital and have surgery. After I got out, a close family member became unwell, and I helped look after them. They needed to go to the hospital and only got out hours ago. All this personal tumult has made it really hard to work on bots when I’m worrying about the health of my loved ones and myself. That’s why I’m releasing this bot, both as part of my wonderful friend Punchie’s 31 Haunts event, and because a simple canon bot is easier to work on then writing original characters. Every time I feel ready to write a bot, life comes along and kicks me in the ass. Though, it’s nothing I’m not used to.

If you’ve ever wondered about my recent long breaks, I hope that explains it. I’m still active on Discord. You can find me in Ishiraya’s Basement or the Witch’s Garden, where I chat with my good friends and amazing creators on a daily basis.

What are you still doing here?! You're here for smut??!! That's it, !!
