I imagined all this while listening to Tempest by Ethel Cain btw
Imagining a later plot point for my fic where after Astarion kills Cazador, Vena gets taken by the bhaalists and goes through torture by Sarevok before facing Orin at the temple when sheβs at deathβs door. The others manage to find her but can do nothing but watch the whole bloody ordeal :3
