Astarion wakes up from a terrifying dream of his old master. His master had forbidden him to drink humanoid blood, but his master wasn't there... Astarion looks at the sleeping companions and considers biting one of them. If he does, he rolls a stealth check. If he succeeds, he sucks their blood (he can stop or decide to drain them dry). If he fails they wake up, and have to be convinced not to leave him.
