Summary
After vanquishing the gnolls, the group gets most of the way to the Tollhouse before someone lets off a signal firework behind them. Tav, of course, insists they backtrack, finding a tunnel that smells as though humans had recently passed through. Why though, Astarion thinks, would the men have not used the tunnel to escape?
***
“Whats wrong?” Tav asked, her voice distant.Gale stepped forward, his well tailored boots kicking up dust - his robe almost trailed in the dirt, such was its length, and Astarion couldn’t help but think it would be better off being a few inches shorter.
And then the robe moved, in an unnatural way, the end flicking horizontal and dragging, as if Gale had moved off an invisible step and left it raised behind him. Or, Astarion realized with horror, as if it had gotten caught on something strung low across the pathway, that the first three had miraculously stepped over.
His head snapped up, finally understanding - the boulder wasn’t part of the rock wall. It was placed on top of the platform, poised to crush anyone who triggered the trap that they had only missed through sheer dumb luck.
“Stop!” he hissed, his feet rooted to the ground. “It’s a trap!”

Summary
Traveling east on the Risen Road, they find a strange creature - a hyena, foreign to these parts... and she's pregnant. Tav, as always, is determined to save the laboring beast, and deliver its puppies safely.
***
Everything seeming to move in slow motion. Wyll, bellowing his challenge as Shadowheart leapt forward to face the attacking monstrosity at his side. Lae’zel pivoting, her attention drawn to another gnoll emerging from the woods. And Tav, being hauled backwards by Gale as the hyena's stomach bulged, and finally tore, spraying her with blood as the beast let out one last scream.But it wasn't a baby hyena that burst forth, and he realized with horror there had never been pups at all. Instead, a long clawed hand snatched out of the hyena's belly, grasping Tav around the elbow and digging in as Gale pulled her away, opening deep cuts in her arm. Her scream joined the hyena's, mingling with the mocking, cackling laughter of the gnolls, before the thing's monstrous head emerged from its dying mother's body. Already leaping forward, jaws wide enough to reveal rows of jagged teeth, to tear out Tav's throat.

Summary
After weeks in the wilderness, the group has finally reached an inn, with a fireplace, a bed, and solid walls - things that Astarion is determined to take full advantage of, now that he and Tav are more comfortable together. Astarion is thrilled that his plan is coming along so nicely - it means they can enjoy each others company, indulge in a footrub while they build up to the main event, maybe even find a way to make Tav more vocal in what she wants.
But their increased bond also means that Tav is getting braver.... and she's starting to ask questions he has no answer to.
***
“Here,” she breathed, lifting her chin to expose her throat. “I want.... want your fangs inside me.”It was a ridiculous thing to say. He could tell from her face that she knew it as soon as the quiet words left her hesitant lips, and regretted it. If it was someone else, he'd have mocked them for it, raised his eyebrow and let a smug smile wash over his face. But she was trying, he thought fondly, and he knew it wasn't easy for her. So he pressed his lips against her neck, kissing as he worked his way to her ear.
“That's good,” he crooned, feeling her relax, ankles interlocking around his waist. “That's perfect, darling.”

Summary
The problem with traveling alongside a monster hunter like Wyll, Astarion often thinks, is that the young man has a terrible habit of getting himself and Astarion into trouble. First, his insistence on bouncing around on webbing that landed them both in the blacksmith's cellar while Tav and the others are left topside. Then, his idea of blowing a hole through the cellar wall to escape through the caves. Now at least, they've found the Arachnomancer's Chamber, journals filled with ramblings about 'transcendence' ... and a lot of very, very large webs.
***
“Wyll,” Astarion hissed, finally getting his attention. “I think I found our escape. And Eliette.”“What?” Wyll replied, tossing the journal onto the bed and hurrying over. “Alive?”
“In a manner of speaking,” Astarion said, slowly raising his hand to point.
Wyll’s human eye squinted into the darkness, scanning the chasm, peering through the dim light for an insane high-elf wandering through the cave, probably determined to rescue her. But then it moved from behind a rock, the bright blue easily seen even through the gloom, and Wyll’s eyes suddenly opened very wide.
“Oh, hells, ” he breathed. “Oh, fuck me.”

Summary
Still stuck in half-orc form to facilitate their sneaky journey through Moonrise, Astarion is injured in the fight with some defensive skeletons in the Apothecary's Cellar. While he and Tav sit together to recover in the cave, the others go ahead to search the study for anything that can be used to open Astarion's screaming book. But there is one more coffin, unopened, so Tav and Astarion decide to deal with whatever is inside themselves, just to prove that they can. But while they suspect its another skeleton, it turns out to be something far different.
***
Tav rolled her eyes, suddenly noticing something behind him.“Don’t leave that behind,” she said, pointing towards it so he turned to look at Wyll’s shovel. “He must have forgot it in the excitement.”
“Oh darling, let’s leave it,” he protested, walking mournfully towards it to pick it up. “Look darling, it’s dirty.”
“It’s a shovel, Astarion, what do you expect,” she said dryly. “Here, I’ll carry it.”
“Shovel?” said a third voice suddenly, making them both freeze. “Me Shovel?”
