43. : Come, come, up you both stand. I, for one, am dying to find out what's for breakfast.
56. : Elminster?

21. : The very same, Gale. And a fair bit miffed he is, too, finding himself forced to expose his best pair of boots to so many miles of country road on your behalf.
90. : I don't understand. How so on my behalf?
73. : I was bid to spare neither time nor my own self to find you. She sent me, Gale. You know of whom I speak.
31. : But why? Out with it, Elminster. Please!
106. : Young man, has your sojourn away from Waterdeep washed away your decorum as well as your patience?
102. : Nigh a tenday I've gone without honest fare worthy of the name - drank naught but what the sky entitled my thirst.
1. : Why, some bread, cheese, and a cup of wine would appear unto me a feast! Surely you won't begrudge me a mite of rest and repast before I get 'out with it'?
77. Player: Yes, Gale. Where is your decorum?
38. Player: Surely you could have conjured any feast you liked.WIZARD
26. : Alas, such luxuries require the beneficence of time, and time, as I'm sure our friend here will attest, is the very luxury of which we're all too bereft.
34. : Oh, for the love of...
67. : Fine, fine, I'll turn a deaf ear to the clarion calls with which my scorned stomach beseeches me. Graver matters are at hand.
76. : Plenty to digest, after all. A good deal to stew over, if you will. Words ladled with import should be savoured so as to better absorb their meaning, wouldn't you agree?
105. : Elminster.
9. : Right. Ahem. You see...
87. : I, er... ahem. That is to say...
10. : Gale, m'boy, I've come to address a most pressing matter. I'll speak as plainly as I can, forswearing the accustomed frills that decorate my speech.
91. : I'm here on behalf of Mystra. The message and the charge I bring you are hers.
93. Player: It must be a great honour to be so entrusted by your god.CLERIC
97. : I could debate you on that.
48. : You know where you went wrong, Gale, and I trust you've told your fellow traveller here the nature of your ills.ORI_Gale_Knows_LearnedBackstory = False
16. : I can't say that so far I've volunteered the entire truth.
84. : Do you mean to say you never bothered to disclose how dangerous you are?
81. : Not in so many words, no.
50. : Then you two have much to discuss after I'll have taken my leave.
29. : In short, Gale - through his own doing - has become a living explosive that could wipe from this world this very gathering, and much more besides.
40. : For his folly, Mystra forsook him, but now she has decreed he is to be given a chance of redemption.
5. : Mystra would consider... forgiveness?
45. : She would consider what she considers to be forgiveness.
24. : Mystra is aware of the misadventures that have befallen you both. She knows of your strife with the Absolute, that most insidious of evils.
74. Player: If the goddess herself is aware, I wouldn't say no to some divine intervention.
8. : The very purpose of my presence - in a roundabout sort of way.
27. : You must know that the Absolute is more dangerous than you can possibly conceive. It threatens all who live - even those who are undying. It threatens the gods, the Weave, the very fabric of the universe itself.
65. : That is why I have come here to charge you, Gale, with its destruction. It is Mystra's belief that only you can.
82. Player: Gale alone? How so?

55. : I doubt not your conviction. But Gale has an unnatural advantage.
78. Player: Hogwash. Idle beliefs and false hopes.
18. : That which I speak of, as Gale well knows, is neither idle nor false. Rather it is... unnatural.
12. : The orb.
6. : Precisely.
86. : That which renders him so dangerous is an orb of Netherese origin that is buried within his chest. And that, Gale, is how we arrive at the heart of my directive.ORI_Gale_Knows_LearnedBackstory = False
100. : Mystra has granted me the power to stop the clock, as it were, on the orb's rush to overpower you. Instead, you will be able to unleash its lethal combustion at will.

20. Player: Say what you will, but you can't force Gale to go through with this.
71. : No indeed. But I think she trusts me to.
42. Player: We'll be rid of both the Absolute and Gale in one fell swoop. Win-win.['Gale -1']
3. : I may be slow to anger, but I will not have you sully this moment of most sorrowful import with ill-considered levity!
37. : It's all right, Elminster. If ever gallows humour were appropriate, this is its grim-smiling hour.
15. : It brings me no pleasure saying this, my friend, but such is Mystra's will. Yours must be the sacrifice that will undo the Absolute. And for your sacrifice, you will be redeemed - such is Mystra's promise.
59. : With that, I've said my sorry piece, and need only bestow unto thee the charm I was bid.

14. Player: There's still a long journey ahead. We'll find another way.
39. : Or some other fortune altogether.
41. : Like moons make swell and wane the nescient seas, so too the sky-strewn gods ordain the tidal fates of mortal days.
2. : And yet - a notion born in lonely hours - come ebb, come flow, come all that is beyond the breadth of our dominion: be a moon unto yourself.
32. : Even the waves of fate can break upon the shores of will.
