Fighting Elminster is ill-advised. To say nothing of his overleveled stats relative to the party when he is encountered in Act One, he also leaves no loot and his hostility will lock [[Gale]] out of progressing in his personal quest.

To say nothing of his overleveled stats relative to the party when he is encountered in Act One, he also leaves no loot and his hostility will lock [[Gale]] out of progressing in his personal quest. If the player does successfully defeat Elminster in combat, though, the party is awarded 1000 experience.

== Notes ==
* When meeting Elminster, he will greet the party by saying "Ho there, wanderer. Stay thy course a moment to indulge an old man." This is a reference to the first Baldur's Gate game, where he greets the player the exact same way.
