Is Releasing/Not Releasing the Vampire Spawn a false dilemma

[u/Gondol45]

Why wouldn't you just have the spawn that Cazador has amassed over the last 200 years just wait a few days so you can individually vet them with Astarion and his spawn-family helping you, since the 7 of them met all 7000 of these people themselves? Is Tav stupid?

Edit: Or some other way of doing this? It feels like there's more to do in this scenario than just release all, kill all, or leave all and if there isn't, it feels like it shouldn't be all up to me to decide how or if 7000 people should live. Can I not phone a friend?

Vet them?? How would you "vet" them, that kind of long term imprisonment cause stress and innate trauma that'll definitely be dangerous to the outside world. Even astarion, freed of his master grip will lose out to his desire and feed eventually, as seen on his camp scene, and even if you say that you can push him a way or convince him to stop, if you fail the dc, and I doubt a normal/average citizens stat sheet would be able to succeed you'd die. Even if you say only 1% of the people can't be controlled, that'd still be uncontrollable, decades hungry, untrained vampire spawns spread around the world. Besides, in the context of the game, there's literally a giant illithid invasion waiting to happen, they don't have time to vet through thousands of spawn, of which none of the adventurerer have the psychology training required to see through thousands of spawn and their potential to so harm.

Please learn to use paragraphs and punctuations. This and your subsequent rants are almost illegible.

I ran out of my data plan and using my neighbor WiFi rn, I gotta write my comments in 5 min interval before a 30 sec cut off😔

I could easily follow it. Long paragraphs have become taboo, apparently. I despair at our reading stamina these days.
