[[File:In Case of Death.png|thumb|For undisclosed reasons, Gale recommends you resurrect him within two days.]]
'''In Case of Death...''' is a quest given when [[Gale]] first dies. A magical projection of Gale appears to warn you "many lives" depend on his return within two days. It would be in your best interest to revive him sooner rather than later.
{{em|Warning:}} Once Gale dies, you do not have forever to resurrect him. On your ''third'' [[Long Rest]] after Gale dies, you'll awake to a special Game Over.

==Walkthrough==
If [[Gale]] should die for any reason, then you'll see his body start to release {{DamageType|Necrotic}} damage to anyone nearby. After combat ends you'll see a magical projection of Gale pop up and convince you to resurrect him within three days. To do so he tells you a rather elaborate procedure for summoning up a [[Scroll of True Resurrection]] he has prepared.
 
'''It's not necessary to obtain or use this scroll''', as any resurrection method (including [[Scroll of Revivify|Scrolls of Revivify]]) will satisfy the quest. However, unlike Revivify, the True Resurrection scroll will resurrect any party member with all their hitpoints.


To get the scroll:
* Play the correct melody.
* Grab [[Gale's Pouch]] off his corpse
** We managed to open the pouch. Now we need to play the right melody on the flute.
* Pull the purple thread in a counter clockwise fashion
*** (The order and direction only matters for the dialogue option, play the notes D-E-A-D, spells "dead", and you will succeed.)
* Take the flute and play the notes D-E-A-D
* Address the [[Magma Mephit]] with "K'ha'ssji'trach'ash" and hand over Gale's letter


Ta-dah! The scroll is yours. Use it, or save it for another occasion and resurrect Gale some other way.
*Say the mephit's name.
**We played the right notes on the flute and summoned the mephit.


The only way to botch the protocol completely is to pull ''all'' the threads in the second step and continue to do so after the game gives you a warning; the pouch will disappear and you'll have to resurrect Gale the old-fashioned way. Other errors will simply allow you to try again from where you got stuck.
* Resurrect Gale.
** We told the magma mephit his name. In return, he turned the letter into a [[Scroll of True Resurrection]].


Once Gale's back among the living, a Persuasion (DC 10) or Intimidation (DC 12) Check will get Gale to open up a bit more about what just happened, but he'll still remain tight-lipped about key details. Refusing to press him after succeeding the check will grant some approval. Quest complete.
* We successfully resurrected Gale. Let's make sure he doesn't die again.
 
==Reward==
* {{MdRarityItem|Scroll of True Resurrection}}, if Gale's protocol was followed
