Summary
"There's more writing on the bottom of the bowl," Shadowheart said. She was crouched down and pointing to markings on the underside of the creepy, bloodstained altar.
"Is there? What does it say?" Gale asked, shuffling on his knees to get closer to where she was pointing.
"He's going to crawl around like this and then complain about his knees all the way back to camp," Astarion muttered, sounding half amused and half exasperated. Karlach chuckled just a little, because he was right. Talk about being your own worst enemy: Gale versus his knees and back.
"It says 'within each self a monster'," Shadowheart read off of the underside of the bowl.
"Oh, this is very interesting," Gale said. "The blood spilled in the bowl will touch the other phrases, but not this one. I think that marks it as optional. I've heard of something like this before. Azuth set out trials for young mages where one could mark certain incantations with chalk and leave others blank, indicating how difficult a challenge one was willing to face."
"This would make the trial harder?" Shadowheart asked, straightening. "A more difficult test?"

Summary
A vampire spawn is a solitary creature. That's how the world works, and there's never been any use — nor any hope — in changing it. Not under Cazador's roof. But here, thrown from the sky into a whirlwind of fire and wreckage and charming seaside wilderness, you are distinctly not under Cazador's roof.

Summary
"First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."
As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.
"Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.
"Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.
"Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."
Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.
"A what?" he asked.

Summary
When Magister Dorian Pavus' expedition meets unexpectedly with a clan of unhappy Dalish elves, First Taren Lavellan may be the unhappiest among them.

Summary
There are many reasons why Taren Lavellan cannot be Dorian Pavus' lover:
Taren is a Dalish elf, Dorian is from the Imperium. Taren has responsibilities to think about. Taren is Andraste's Chosen. Dorian is a pariah in this place already. Taren is going to save the world. Taren is the Inquisitor. Taren is his friend. And to care too deeply is too big a risk.
They can't.

Summary
"You came out of the Fade with me," he accused, quietly.
Two people stumbled out of a rift that day, the only two survivors of the disastrous Conclave at the Temple of Sacred Ashes. Lavellan is a hunter for her clan, and deeply out of her depth with all of these demons and ancient magics flying around. Trevelyan is a former Circle apprentice, and deeply out of his depth with... well, being just a child, hand marked with magic he barely understands, himself.
Both have been called things which they are not. Both have places they would much rather be.
Placed in the center of a growing crisis, unsure who they can rely on, Lavellan and Trevelyan must discern if they can, at the very least, trust each other.
