[cazador voice] now we can only complete my kickass immortality ritual if astarion makes it to the ritual site. so don't forget to lock the ritual site behind a door that's coded in a language he doesn't speak whose dictionary is currently being held by the cursed corpse of a child he doesn't know. and also my signet ring. and don't tell him any of this. really the joys of the ritual are secondary to standing here on this platform with all of you for three weeks, waiting, while astarion sort of fucks around in my house trying to figure out how to get here
