And that’s something your patron is just… fine with? Taking more than you’re allotted?
[There’s something off-putting to Astarion about the very concept of a warlock, having made a deal with an entity far beyond the usual scope of mortal understanding for power. It isn’t exactly the same as being under the complete thrall of a higher power—not like his enslavement to Cazador—but the parallels exist enough to make him question the wisdom behind such a decision.
After all, he’s all for garnering power enough to not feel as though one is ever under the thumb of anyone else. But he’s also seen the consequences of an unhappy patron — just look at their other local warlock.]
Not going to sprout any extra tentacles or the like, wholly unrelated to the tadpole squirming in your head?
