About vampire souls - there is a problem with sourcing information directly from the net. But from what is available in open sources, you can find information confirming that "the devil is not so terrible". More specifically, that the deal with Mephistopheles is not so ruinous for Astarion. In fact, it's just a "contract for a future employee of a hellish corporation". Worse than living free on Faerűn in his castle, but hardly worse than ending up with Mephistopheles as a common spawn who blew his chances, or hanging around forever on the Fugue Plan (another version of where vampire souls go).
Thank you, that was interesting to read). The devil is not as bad as he is painted. Everyone needs good employees.

Well, truth be told, if you give Astarion to the Gurams, they'll just torture him getting information and kill him afterward. I.e., their intentions are not pure for the fugitive spawn...Considering they realize that Spavn is not responsible for his master, they still see him as a monster, nothing more. Casador will have to take his corpse and make him into a zombie.
