32. : *There she stands. Mystra. Your goddess. Your lover. Your past. And no ordinary idol.*
77. : *Beneath the silent stone surges a relentless current of purest Weave. A summoning channel, the kind commanded by Mystra herself.*
53. : *How many times have you dreamed of this moment? An audience with the goddess who loved you. Who abandoned you. All you have to do is reach for it...*

72. : Gale of Waterdeep. You look well.devnote
112. : Mystra. Please - I have so much to explain to you.
26. : There is much unsaid between us, but time runs ever short.devnote
34. : I've been watching your journey here. Your triumphs. Your temptations. Your doubts.devnote
59. : You discovered what lies at the Heart of the Absolute - the Crown of Karsus - and you disobeyed my instruction. Why?devnote
126. : Because I have someone else to live for.ORI_State_Partnered
62. : I know. Your union is one I find surprising, but you are your own man and it is not the worst choice you have made, after all.devnote
5. : Because my life isn't yours to throw away. You had no right to ask that of me.
91. : You were my lover, my Chosen, yet still you know so little of me.devnote
108. : I was afraid. Afraid to die. Afraid that I might fail.
21. : Fear? An 'unambitious emotion', you once told me. Have you changed after all?devnote
28. : I hoped hindsight would help you see what you could not perceive before. Do you understand why I severed our connection?devnote
22. : I was a danger to you. What I did, or rather, attempted to do, was reckless.
132. : It was, more than you ever realised.devnote
92. : Because I disobeyed you. You punished me for it.
104. : How so? You think I should have cured you? Erased the consequences of your actions?devnote
102. : I let you down. I was a fool, and fools don't deserve the love of a goddess.
103. : The past cannot be undone with self-pity, nor can a future be forged. Only with the truth will you see the way ahead.devnote
81. : You were threatened. You realised you couldn't control me.
55. : You were many things to me, but never a threat. And never a saviour.devnote
27. : Our relationship bored you. The orb was just an excuse to end it.
54. : I have no need of excuses. Nonetheless, you gave me one I had no choice but to act upon.devnote
69. : The fragment of magic you tried to return to me was not of my creation. It was the Karsite Weave.devnoteORI_Gale_Knows_KarsiteWeave
19. : It is a corrupted, half-born magic wrought in the brief moment Karsus ascended to godhood. It hungers for power just as he did, and it can never be sated.devnote
11. : You unleashed something that would consume all magic in existence, and yet you thought only of preserving yourself.devnote
43. : So that's what you're scared of. The magic within me is one you can't control. But with the Crown of Karsus, I could.
107. : You can no more control the Karsite Weave than a weather vane could control a storm. devnote

79. : I never intended to do harm. Only to prove myself worthy of you.
13. : You were already worthy. What you lacked was patience, and it cost you dearly.devnote
20. : When the Karsite Weave entered your body, your gifts were the first thing it consumed.devnote
137. : Then why did you strip me of my abilities? I could have put things right.
42. : I did no such thing, Gale.devnote
141. : You're one to talk. How many innocents were you prepared to sacrifice if I detonated the orb?
109. : Such eddies are unexceptional. Souls arrive and depart your plane with every tide, in circumstances just and unjust.devnote
41. : The Weave cannot be lost because we are unwilling to cause a ripple. And that is what is at stake.devnote
24. : Is that why you lied to me about the Crown of Karsus? Self-preservation?
71. : My concern was the preservation of everything. The Karsite Weave could tear apart the very fabric of the Material Plane.devnote
15. : That it entered your body and consumed no more than your powers was a miracle. But we will not be granted another.devnote
97. : The only reason the 'orb' sleeps is because I have allowed it to feed on the true Weave - a temporary measure, but one that will not be enough to save us.devnote
142. : With each day that passes, the elder brain threatens to become a new kind of god, its worshippers a scourge of soulless illithids.devnote
110. : If you will not use the orb to end this abomination, then you must find a way to separate Crown and host. When you've done this, you must surrender the Crown of Karsus to me. devnoteLOW_StormshoreTabernacle_State_HeardMystraQuest
30. : Perform this service, and I will see you cured. You will be forgiven.devnote
89. : You're the mother of all magic, the Weave incarnate. Can't you just destroy the Crown yourself?
9. : It is not my place to destroy another god's creation, however temporarily he joined the pantheon.devnote
101. : It must be you, Gale. You are the one who carries Karsus' power within you. You are the only one who can.devnote
128. : Very well. The next time we meet, I'll be bringing you the Crown.LOW_StormshoreTabernacle_State_WantsSurrenderCrown
38. : Thank you. May the Weave's light guide your purpose, and its wisdom guide your hand.devnote
6. : The future of magic rests on your shoulders, Gale of Waterdeep.devnote
31. : I promise you - it is a burden you are strong enough to bear.devnote

122. : I understand now why you asked what you did. I should use the orb, and ensure Karsus' powers are truly destroyed.LOW_StormshoreTabernacle_Mystra_PromisedToUseOrb
87. : If this is the course you choose, Elysium will be waiting. devnote

86. : No wizard worth their hat would destroy such a powerful artefact without first understanding it.
127. : And you believe you have the right to such an understanding?devnote
117. : I owe you no explanation. Not after how you've treated me.
93. : You still believe yourself to be so wronged? You always were stubborn.devnote
16. : You break up with me, cut me off from the Weave, leave me to die, and that's all you have to say? 'You look well'?
123. : I did not come here to suffer a mortal's admonitions. Certainly not yours.devnote
2. : What can I say? Adventuring suits me.
135. : It always did. Though the ones we shared were far sweeter than those you've tasted recently.devnote
