[ Astarion calls someone over and just buys a bottle for them (well, for Gale), and that'll be over shortly. It's practical, you see. As he's been doing a lot of pickpocketing, so he's got spending money. ]

Honestly, it's a bit like all the random problems we seemed unable to avoid back on the Sword Coast. All of us are split into two armadas, the Paladins and the Corsairs, and each armada assigns all manner of quests to their members. But there are also quests that anyone can do to together. Whether it is slaying enemies, or finding treasure, or planting trees, there's always something to waste our time on.
