Yeah, and they're missing what the rest of us can do to destroy the Absolute. It isn't the only option, and you don't deserve to die because of a mistake. End of.

I ... had a conversation with Astarion. I get the feeling my monster match does not wish to be found. If we are closer to the end of this, and we are both unmatched - and perhaps by some chance of fate available to do so, we should consider partnering. It wouldn't be a bad idea.
[ a lot of factors would have to work out, but. ]
Would it make you feel better if I were to discuss with Famine the details of this solution he has in mind?

[a pause.]

No, I can't imagine that going particularly well.
[ or maybe too well? ]
I have solutions on the mind, Karlach. Believe me.

Doesn't stop me from wanting to kick Mystra's ass, though.

You try, and that's better than some. You'll always be better than some people I could mention.

Famine offered this thing to me. They've got a thing where they can put you in a whole new body.
no subject
And what do you think of that?
no subject
[she folds her arms.]
I don't like it. [she knows how childish that sounds, but.] I don't - want something new, I want this.

For now we have your heart. Your original heart, preserved. Perhaps there is something to be done with that.
no subject
... I'm thinking about the monster trade thing. I haven't found mine yet.
