The following full internal script of the conclusion of the Romance with God Gale can be found in the file: EPI_Epilogue_GodGaleAscension.lsj

God Gale Ascension

Gale stands in front of their romanced player, smilling.The player and Gale stand in front of each other. As Gale starts the spell the player looks around in wonder as they're being envelopedby the magic releasing from the orb on Gale's chest.The orb on Gale's chest begins to glow, his powers manifesting. The player looks around in wonder - they're both being enveloped in a kind of magic - similar to the effect of the Weave in spellteaching, but this is Gale's magic (Different colour?)

The magic surrounding them gathers speed, building it's own momentum. Gale takes the player's left hand with his right one.

The player closes their eyes. They trust him.A flash of WHITE takes us from the rugged confines of camp to the eternity of the heavens. We don't see the player yet.

The player and Gale are still in the same position, in front of each other with Gale holding the player's hand.

Gale still holding the player's left hand with his right.The player carefully opens their eyes to their new surroundings, still holding hands. The player slowly lets their hand go from Gale's and inspects themself. Looking down, checking their hands. Happy with the change they look back up at Gale with a smile.

We see the player for the first time. They're no longer a mortal being, but an astral, godlike one. They let go of Gale and inspect their new form (look at hands?). Looks good. They smile at Gale.

God Gale and God player kiss, arms wrapped around each other. In the astral heavens above them we see Gale's symbole flare into life. A second symbol joins it - there's a new god beside him.

Breakup

The player slowly steps toward Gale, they both close in for a final kiss and pull each other closer, but then the player pulls away suddenly as though given an electric shock, the power too strong. They reach for their lips in surprise before lowering their hand and looking back at Gale.

Gale and the player share one final kiss. If there's scope - his godly powers are overwhelming for the player, who pulls away as though given an electric shock. (to edit once clarified) Gale and the player take one last look at each other, sharing a bittersweet smile. Gale takes a step back and turns around (or to his right), leaving the player behind as he slowly walks off on top of the water before floating up.

Gale and the player share a bittersweet smile, before he exits via the same means he arrived.

Evil Ending

The following full internal scripts for the evil ending are in the file: END_BrainBattle_FinalDecision_Nested_EvilGale.lsj

Avatar Gale has declared his intention to destroy all gods. Using the token of Mystra he still has (her earring) he casts a spell upon the city of Baldur's Gate, 'awakening' them and inciting them to rid the city of religious worship. He opens a rift to the heavens and sets off to destroy the rest of the pantheon wiht his army of nautiloids in tow

Gale turns his back on the awestruck, kneeling crowd and spreads his arms wide, dark energy crackling around him as he begins to float upwards.

Shot from behind Gale's back, upwards at the heavens. With a gesture Gale splits the dark skies, opening a rift through which brilliant, otherworldly light spills

Dark energy still present. Opening a rift in the sky

As Gale ascends, he lifts a hand to his head. CLOSE UP as, almost idly, he caresses the earring gifted to him by Mystra - then unclasps it, allowing it to fall behind him as he rises with a fleet of nautiloids lining the way before him.

CLOSE-UP as we stay with the earring, tracing its path downwards as it begins to break up, fragmenting into streamers of blue Mystran magic. Almost gently, they descend upon the watching crowds. As the spell settles on them, they rise to their feet, and begin to riot. The streets roil with anarchy as the enraged mob tears down the tokens of the old religions - statues, clerics, temples.

Final shot of the wide split in the heavens, a fleet of nautiloids preparing to pass through
