    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

    "You mean 'we'll make it,'" Beau said, as an icy feeling crept up her spine. "Right, Deuces? We'll make it out."
    "No," he said, and that same soft, grim smile was back. "I meant you."
    There was a beat of silence where Beau just breathed.
    "What," she said, trying to keep her voice measured even as her thoughts spun out. "Why the fuck do you think I would leave without you?"
    "You have to," he said.
    "Why?"
    "My last question to Melora," Caduceus replied. He looked regretful, almost chagrined.
    "What was it?" Beau said, dread creeping up the base of her skull.

    --------------
    Beau and Caduceus are lost beneath the snows of Eisselcross, separated from the group. And time is running out for one of them.

    Summary

    No. No, no. This hadn’t been– this was not his intention– Cad has gone still, too, beneath his hands, and Caleb wants to yank away from him at the mere suggestion of doing this to his friend, but he can’t move, still locked in place from horror. He lifts his gaze to finally, stupidly, look at Caduceus now. At the discomfort in his eyes and the faint flush of embarrassment on his cheeks, almost mottled pink beneath bruised pale skin. Caleb just– stares. Because whatever had been bad, has just gotten worse.
