Summary
Marcus holds the goblet up, still stinking with klauthgrass, and ponders them, clutched in the wretched claws of his undead monsters. "Well," he says, and smiles. "If you will not willingly drink it, I have a manner of encouragement."
And then he raises his dagger, pricks his own wrist until scarlet pools over his pale skin, and lets blood drip into the goblet.
Before he can help it, Astarion stiffens.
Astarion has spent two hundred years with truth as a bitter enemy. Fitting, then, that his choice to say it is taken from him.

Summary
Gods. How appalling. How pathetic. Two hundred years of torture and here he is, undone by one heinous little hero who dared to tell him no—but how dare they tell him no?
How dare they—smile at him so sweetly that it was hard to look at, like staring into the sun, only to turn around and condemn him to an eternity in the shadows? How dare Tav kiss his fingers as though he was something precious, only to smash his every hope for a better life against the rocks?
(Tav fails the check to convince Astarion that completing the ritual is a bad idea. Astarion leaves the party, and then almost immediately comes to regret it when Orin kidnaps Tav.)

Summary
When he wakes, he is on a beach, gold, looking up at the sun.
Ah, he thinks, distant. I'm dreaming.
Astarion is never quite sure, until the moment Cazador lies dead before him, whether this entire adventure is anything more than an extremely vivid hallucination.
