Gale can be recruited in [[Act One]].
* Gale is first encountered when approaching the ''Roadside Cliffs'' [[Ancient Rune Circle]], north of the [[Ravaged Beach]] and near the Nautiloid crash site. Upon drawing near the circle, Gale will emerge from it. He will suggest joining forces to increase their chances of finding a solution to their [[Tadpole]] infection. If the player agrees, Gale will join the party.
* It is possible to fail the [[Strength]] checks needed to pull him out of the portal.


Gale can be recruited in [[Act One]].
When approaching the ''Roadside Cliffs'' [[Ancient Rune Circle]], north of the [[Ravaged Beach]], it will appear to be flickering erratically. The player can choose to investigate the circle more closely, or leave it alone. Choosing to investigate the circle has Gale stick his hand out from inside the circle and ask for a helping hand.

The player can choose to investigate the circle more closely, or leave it alone. Choosing to investigate the circle has Gale stick his hand out from inside the circle and ask for a helping hand.
A [[Strength]] check (DC 7) is required to pull Gale free from the circle. Certain classes have alternative checks they can make instead, all of which are also DC 7.
* Wizards, Warlocks and Sorcerers will have special options to interact with the circle. ''(Other classes untested, please add more info.)''
* ([[Wizard]]) [[Intelligence]]
* It is possible to fail the [[Strength]] checks needed to pull him out of the portal. If this happens, he will fall back in and be unrecruitable.
* ([[Warlock]], [[Sorcerer]], [[Bard]]) [[Charisma]]
* If playing as [[the Dark Urge]], {{Blur|there is an additional option to ''"fantasise about hacking off the hand"''. If this option is chosen, then Gale will not be recruitable - though you will get [[Gale's Severed Hand]] as a souvenir, at least!}}
* ([[Druid]], [[Cleric]]) [[Wisdom]]
* ([[Rogue]]) [[Dexterity]]
 
If the first check is failed, a second can be attempted:
* If the first check was Strength, the second will be a DC 12 Strength check.
* If the first check was a class-specific one, the second will be a DC 7 Strength check.
 
Succeeding any of the above checks will pull Gale out of the circle, at which point he can be recruited. {{Approval|Wyll|+1}} {{Approval|Karlach|+1}}
<br>Failing two checks, or choosing to leave him to his fate, will mean Gale falls back into the circle and cannot be recruited.
 
If playing as [[the Dark Urge]], {{Blur|there is an additional option to ''"fantasise about hacking off the hand"''. If this option is chosen, then Gale will not be recruitable - though you will get [[Gale's Severed Hand]] as a souvenir, at least! {{Approval|Lae'zel|+1}} {{Approval|Wyll|-1}} {{Approval|Karlach|-1}}}}

== Background ==
From a young age, Gale was a prodigy with magic, manipulating magic like a skilled virtuoso plays music. He lived in [[Waterdeep]]. He has a tressym called [[Tara]]. His talent drew the attention of the Goddess of Magic herself, [[Mystra]], whom was so taken by his skill that she revealed to him arcane secrets known by few others. They shared an intimate relationship until one day Mystra grew distant and disappeared, seemingly displeased with Gale. Spurned by his goddess, Gale lost most of his incredible magical prowess, although he was still a more than capable [[wizard]].

Spurned by his goddess, Gale lost most of his incredible magical prowess, although he was still a more than capable [[wizard]].


Determined to gain her affections back, Gale sought out a dangerous tome with the objective of returning some lost magic back to his beloved goddess. Ultimately, Gale failed in his endeavour and his body became an unwitting host to an extremely destructive Netherese orb. To keep the orb inhabiting and corrupting his body in check, Gale must continually sate it with powerful magical artefacts - if he fails, the orb will detonate, bearing enough destructive power to bring down even whole cities, and Gale with them.
