Selection spam

Selection spam (sneaking)

Hiding

• Such a long way down.
• The coward's route.
• It's a gnome's life for me.
• My robes will get dirty.
• Unseen and unsightly.
• If I must.
• Yes, yes.
• Not this again.
• You've got the wrong man for this.
• Oh, bother.
• Brought low.
• No honour among sneaks.

Hiding (in combat)

• Did they see me?
• On cat's paws.
• A silent spell.
• The whispered Weave.
• There goes my equilibrium.
• An invisibility spell works too, you know.
• I will be but an illusion.
• I'll keep my doubts to myself...
• O, to cast on bended knee.
• Must I?
• I perform better on my feet.
• This has to be frowned upon.

At low health

• Weave save me. I can't take much more...
• Death can't have me. Not yet...
• I cannot die. Please, help me.
• Some healing for a wizard in need?

Attacked by party member

• Really?
• Stop it!
• Get off!

Can't fit in a small hole

• I'm far too big to get through there.
• Perhaps if there were considerably less of me...
• That's not a Gale-sized hole.

Can't fit in a tiny hole

• Which part of me is supposed to fit in there, exactly?
• Far, far far too small for me.
• I'm a large man, and that's a very small hole.

Can't use an item

• Now's not the right time for that.
• Hmmm. Maybe later.
• No. I'll have to try again later.
• I can't use this at the moment.

Can't use an item while in combat

• Gods, you're distracting aren't you?
• Perhaps later, when I'm not in mortal peril...
• Hardly the right moment for that!
• Not the time!

Finding a locked item

• Locked. Perhaps by some nearby mechanism...
• Not budging. There must be something here to unlock it.
• Can't be opened directly. Time to investigate.
• No ordinary lock. Something else seals it.

Picking a lock

• Knock, knock.
• I don't think this is strictly legal...
• Surely there's a spell for this sort of thing...

Looking at a globe

• Ah, to hold the world in the palm of one's hand!

Looking at an astrolabe

• Quite something, to hold the cosmos in your hands...
• A map of the celestial bodies. Beautiful, but not a patch on the real thing.
• A fine apparatus. Though not as beautiful as my own.
• Coliar, Karpri, Anadia... So many worlds still to travel. One day.

Looking into a mirror

• Looking magical, as always.
• 'Doth thy mirror crack?' Apparently not.
• No harm reflecting on one's appearance.

Looking into a telescope

• No time for star-gazing. More's the pity.

Succeeded Perception roll (trap)

• A trap... This place is more dangerous than I thought.
• A nasty surprise... Caution is warranted here.
• My, I had better be careful not to trigger that thing.

Succeeded Investigation roll

• I spy with my little eye...
• Something hidden - but not from me.
• Methinks I spotted something.
• What's that over there?
• Intriguing.

Succeeded Investigation roll (trap)

• A trap... So much for the art of hospitality.
• Traps! One always has to be on the alert.
• Traps, eh? I've a feeling I'm not very welcome here.

Identified a mimic

• My, my, a mimic. I'm the last one you've tried to ambush, you craven thing.

Surprised by mimic

• Another mimic! You'd think I'd get better at spotting the damned things.
• Gah! That's a frightful amount of teeth where there shouldn't be any.

After a short rest

• That hit the spot.
• A little respite does wonders.
• Patched up and pushing on.
• Lovely little pick me up.

On character death

Player:

• Now's no time to die. You must get up!

Player (Dark Urge):

Astarion:

Halsin:

Throwing Scratch's ball after his death

• You were a an excellent friend, Scratch - and that's coming from a cat-lover.
• I hope there's balls and bones galore, wherever you are...
• Poor Scratch. I'm lucky to have met you.
• I hope Scratch doesn't miss his ball, wherever he is...

Party Banter

Gale and Astarion

• Astarion: I am enjoying our walks together, aren't you, Gale?
• Gale: Uhm... Sure. In silence.

---

• Astarion: So, do you have loves waiting for you once this is all over?
• Gale: You know what - that is not the easiest of questions for me to answer.
• Shadowheart: You mean just waiting, like a lovesick puppy? Short-term amusements is much less of a hassle.

---

• Gale: I knew I should've attended the Blackstaff's lectures on githyanki tir'su.
• Gale: If I understood their script, who knows what secrets their texts would surrender...
• Astarion: Why not ask one of the friendly bloodthirsty warriors? I'm sure they'd be happy to translate.

---

• Astarion: I gave my return to Baldur's Gate a lot of thought. I never pictured this, though.
• Gale: What did you have in mind? A quiet party, toasting your return with a few good friends?
• Astarion: Less 'quiet party with friends', more 'days of hedonistic debauchery'. But otherwise, yes.
• Gale: Sounds like a recipe for disaster. But you know what? I'm learning to enjoy the taste of chaos. Count me in.

Gale and Karlach

• Gale: I don't suppose you've any clue where we are in relation to Waterdeep?
• Karlach: From this distance between Elturel and Baldur's Gate, I'd say... a long way away.
• Gale: Ah. That will make getting word to my mother rather tricky.
• Gale: No matter - what she doesn't know can't hurt her. Not at this distance, anyway.

---

Gale and Lae'zel

• Gale: Tell me, Lae'zel, when you say we might be 'purified' at your créche, what does that mean exactly?
• Lae'zel: A ghustil will affix the zaith'isk, the purifier, to our heads.
• Lae'zel: Its magic will quell the parasite in an instant.

---

• Gale: That zaith'isk you mentioned intrigues me. Care to tell me a bit more?
• Lae'zel: An intricate device, crafted by mlar - our most gifted artisans. I am sworn to say no more.

---

• Gale: Tell me Lae'zel, what is it like on the Astral Plane? Your home realm intrigues me.
• Lae'zel: Githyanki lay their eggs on other planes. They cannot mature in the Astral.
• Lae'zel: I will only be welcomed once I obtain a mind flayer's head.

---

• Gale: Your prowess in battle is remarkable, as is your battle stance itself.
• Lae'zel: Hrath ajak - a technique known to few otuside K'liir. shall I teach you?
• Gale: I'll pass thank you. I prefer Abjuration over acrobatics.

---

• Gale: I was wondering about your queen, Vlaakith. What tales of her reach us are terrifying, but I suppose that's not how you would describe her.
• Lae'zel: vlaakith is unity: fear and beauty, life and unlife. Eyes like onyx, teeth like daggers. There is none more perfect.
• Shadowheart: Sounds vile. I assume the meaning of 'perfect' was lost in translation...

Gale and Shadowheart

• Gale: The road to Baldur's Gate is a long one. Who knows how long it'll take these folks to get there on foot?
• Shadowheart: If they make it. They're slow, vulnerable. Half or more will die long before Basilisk Gate.
• Gale: Doesn't seem to trouble you a jot.
• Shadowheart: What good would it do for me to be troubled? We can't save them all.

---

(at Last Light Inn)

• Gale: Whatever I expected to find lurking in this cursed gloom, it certainly wasn't this. A glimmer of hope amidst the darkness.
• Shadowheart: That's one way of looking at it. You could also say it's a prime target - the one pocket of light in the gloom.
• Gale: Pragmatism, thy name is Shadowheart. You're not wrong though - best we keep our sojourn here to a minimum.

Gale and Wyll

(entering Guildhall)

• Wyll: It might seem a bit ramshackle, but this place has a boastworthy bar.
• Gale: A bar is only as good as its cellars. Which vintages can we expect to find on their racks?
• Wyll: Here, a bottle is judged more by its ability to crack heads than the quality of its contents.
• Gale: Ah. If that's the main criteria then I shall reset my expectations accordingly. Water it is.
