12. : Who flickerest there? The poor, brave soul who hath defied the Lord of Murder - the madman in king's clothing.END_BrainBattle_Event_Suicide, REALLY_DARK_URGE
58. : With thy death, thou hast given life to all the Lord of Murder would see undone. Thou hast made good on the promise of thy better heart.
54. : Tell me, adventurer... hero... friend. Do the voices echo still?
8. Player: I'm not sure. I hardly know where I am.
57. : Thou art where thou must be - until thou goest where thou must go.
32. Player: At last I hear only silence. Blessed silence.
17. : Thou deserveth as much. Let thy mind be its own place thou mayest sow and reap. Ah, what sweet fruits might such fertile ground yield?
36. Player: I hear nothing. I am alone. Bereft.
2. : Alone - for now. Bereft - only thou knowest. But thy story endeth not here.

19. : Who flickers there 'twixt the shadows? Gale, who didst surrender his very self for the salvation of Faerûn.END_FinalDecisions_Event_GaleExploded, REALLY_GALE
61. : I feared I might not find thee here - that Mystra would have already plucked thy thread from the tapestry of fate. But she may wait a while yet.
7. : Tell me, Gale, how doth thee weigh thy sacrifice, now it hath been made?
14. Player: I've no regrets. I'd do it again if I had to.
18. : The Weave floweth not in this place of shadows, Gale of Waterdeep, but thine heart singeth in its place.

13. Player: I feel... unburdened. I've redeemed myself at last.
21. : Redemption need not require such sacrifice, but there can be no doubt thy penitence is complete. Thou art absolved at last.
29. Player: I didn't want to die, but I couldn't see any other way...
60. : Circumstance did not ordain thy fate, but thine own strength. Thou wert ready for such a sacrifice, and thou art ready still.
11. Player: One illithid for the whole of Faerûn seems like a fair trade to me.,

11. Player: One wizard for the whole of Faerûn seems like a fair trade to me.
51. : It is time thou learnest to value thyself truly. Thy sacrifice weighs greatly on those thou left behind, as it doth in this place.
37. : Who flickers there 'twixt the shadows? Gale, the wizard who thought to crown himself a god. Thou didst think to wake in Elysium? devnoteREALLY_GALE
34. : The orb was thine undoing, for thou didst never truly comprehend its power, nor learn the truth of its conception.
27. : So, thou standest here before me. A failed god, a humbled wizard. Tell me - was thy life a fair price to pay for thine ambition?
35. Player: Wait - I'm dead? I don't understand? This can't be real...FULL_CEREMORPH = False
3. Player: How am I even here? I have no soul...FULL_CEREMORPH = False
47. : The transition from life to death undoes many a mortal's mind. Thou art confused, but thou willst collect thy thoughts, in time.
64. Player: Of course. I reached for greatness. If I failed, so be it - at least I tried.
49. : Even now, thy resolve falters not. That strength of will may serve you yet.
26. Player: I don't think it was.FULL_CEREMORPH = False
22. : Is thine hubris quelled at last? Regret thou mayst, but thine purpose here will not be served by melancholy.

42. : Karlach. I wondered when thou might arrive. Here, in the place where all must go.
52. : Thou faced thy fate bravely. Yet thou chose death over life. Dost thou regret it?
24. Player: Until I know where I am, I can't decide.
15. : Thou art where thou must be - until thou goest where thou must go.
65. Player: I'd ask you to clarify, but I know you won't.
55. : Indeed.
41. Player: Then I guess I can't regret a thing. I made my choice. And now I have to live - die - with it.
48. : So many choices made. So many paths unfurled. Yet leading always where they ought.

33. Player: I still wish there had been another way.

53. Player: No. I did what I set out to do, and I left the world I loved.
62. : So few are provided the privilege of choosing their manner of dying.
43. : Thou flickerest in the dark - but with mine keen eye, I hath scryed thee.END_BrainBattle_Event_Suicide, FULL_CEREMORPH
4. : I told thee once that an illithid hath no soul, and yet thou seemest to have something of the spirit about thee.
20. : I cannot account for it. How delightful.
28. : Tell me, how doth it feel to roam about as thou art now, transformed?
66. Player: Where am I?
46. : Thou art where thou must be - until thou goest where thou must go.
38. Player: I still feel like myself. My memories, my feelings - all intact.
6. : No matter how many aeons I have roamed this world and beyond, I am ever-surprised by mysteries new and old.
45. : I cannot account for thee, adventurer... hero... friend. But I know your story endeth not here.
5. Player: I feel... sad. I'm not ready for my life to be over.
56. : Thy life may be forfeit, but thy death hath only begun to unfold.
23. : What awaiteth thee is a mystery even to me. I cannot account for thee, adventurer... hero... friend. But I know thy story endeth not here.
30. : Death itself hath many byways, and thou might yet have a new and different role to play.End
