*'''Wyll''': Was a time I tussled with hill giants without breaking a sweat. Now, a mere werebear could swat me halfway to Amn.

*'''Gale''': Strange things are happening to us. What festers in our minds may well impel our bodies.

*'''Wyll''': 'The Wizard Wonder!' Or how about, 'The Master of the Weave'?
*'''Wyll''': 'The Wizard Wonder!' Or how about, 'The Master of the Weave'?


* '''Gale''': Tempting. But I think we might already have the maximum number of theatrical titles.<hr>(After encountering [[Auntie Ethel]] and Astarion is present)
* '''Gale''': Tempting. But I think we might already have the maximum number of theatrical titles.<hr>''(After encountering [[Auntie Ethel]] and Astarion is present)''
 
* '''Wyll''': Ethel mentioned Netherese magic. What in blazes does that mean?
* '''Wyll''': Ethel mentioned Netherese magic. What in blazes does that mean?
* '''Gale''': Magic from the fallen empire of Netheril. Ancient, exceedingly dangerous, and quite unrivalled.
* '''Gale''': Magic from the fallen empire of Netheril. Ancient, exceedingly dangerous, and quite unrivalled.
* '''Astarion''': Wonderful! I'd hate to be destroyed by any common old magic.
* '''Astarion''': Wonderful! I'd hate to be destroyed by any common old magic.<hr>(''After Gale's Orb reveal'')
 
* '''Wyll''': I admire your courage, Gale.
* '''Gale''': Thank you. Any particular reason?
* '''Wyll''': Between the orb and the bug, you've got more than your fair share of unwelcome passengers.
* '''Gale''': What can I say? Mother always taught me to be a gracious host.
 
----(''If Wyll is romanced by Act 1'')
 
* '''Gale''': If your natural charm isn't quite up to scratch, Wyll, there are magical means of adding a little flourish of charisma.
* '''Wyll''': A kind offer, but I think I'd rather pursue things the old fashioned way.
 
----(''If Gale is romanced by Act 1'')
 
* '''Gale''': Have you noticed any attachments of the more, erm, romantic variety flourishing in our camp, Wyll?
* '''Wyll''': I think I'm not the right person to be asking.
* '''Wyll''': I can recognise a troll's silhouette on a far horizon, but I wouldn't know a flirtation if you whacked me alongside the head with it.
 
----(At [[Mountain Pass]])
 
* '''Gale''': These cragged hillls make for weary soles. I see why most headed inland prefer the smooth sailing of the Chionthar.
* '''Wyll''': More importantly, the land west of here suffers under a terrible curse.
* '''Gale''': You've seen it for yourself?
* '''Wyll''': I've glimpsed that doom during my travels, but never dared get close.
* '''Wyll''': If we continue this way, we may get too close for comfort.
 
----(At [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]])
 
* '''Wyll''': What a dismal forest. Monsters could be lurking behind any and every tree.
* '''Gale''': We'd be wise to fear the trees themselves. It feels like the forest itself Wyll: Frustrating, that.
* '''Wyll''': Monsters, I can fight. But I can no more sever these shadows than I could the wind or the sun.
 
----(''If Wyll is romanced by Act 2'')
 
* '''Gale''': I knew you were a graceful man, Wyll, but I hear you're quite the dancer too.
* '''Gale''': I've been known to trip the light fantastic myself. Mine was a popular hand at the annual Blackstaff's Ball.
* '''Wyll''': I'd have love to have witnessed it, Gale. I wager you are as elegant on the dance floor as you are on the battlefield.
 
----(At [[Mason's Guild]])
 
* '''Gale''': The masons here thought they were building something to last. How wrong they were.
* '''Wyll''': Perhaps it's a blessing that none of them survived to see it fall to the shadows.
* '''Gale''': No need for such a grim assumption. Halsin helped many to escape these shadows before the town was consumed.
* '''Wyll''': Then some masons were more blessed still, if they could put their talents to use elsewhere.
* '''Wyll''': Perhaps some of their work even graces Baldur's Gate.
 
----(At [[House of Healing]])
 
* '''Wyll''': This was a hospital? Feels more like a prison.
* '''Gale''': A common enough interpretation. Sickness has a nasty habit of making you feel trapped, if only within the confines of your own body.
* '''Gale''': I once spent weeks convalescing in the Hospice of St Laupsenn after a nasty bout of ruddy pox. For all their kindness, leaving that place behind felt like freedom to me.
* '''Wyll''': I've always relied on the kindness of the healers and menders of the Coast. Better a cleric's healing touch than a chirurgeon's scalpel.
 
----(At [[Toll House]])
 
* '''Gale''': A tollhouse like this would only be merited in the most prosperous of settlements. This was once a thriving trade route.
* '''Wyll''': Should it be any wonder? The Chionthar's waters carry merchant vessels from as far east as Berdusk.
* '''Wyll''': And they wouldn't have brought just trade goods, but song, dance, and custom. Riches of the mind and the spirit.
* '''Wyll''': So much was lost when the darkness fell.
 
----(At [[Reithwin Graveyard]])
 
* '''Wyll''': I've known goblin raiders to slaughter entire villages and strip them for loot - but I've never seen one ravaged like ''this''.
* '''Gale''': It's hard to imagine anyone who'd willingly inflict such devastation, be they zealots, marauders, invading armies... A sign of far worse to come, I fear.
 
----(At [[Moonrise Towers]])
 
* '''Gale''': Moonrise Towers lies ahead. We're nearing the Heart of the Absolute, I'm certain of it.
* '''Wyll''': Then let us push forward, heads high, weapons in hand, and turn this tower to rubble.
* '''Gale''': Your confidence is encouraging but a little premature. Let's keep our eyes on the task ahead. Or eye, as the case may be.
 
----(At [[Moonrise Towers]])
 
* '''Wyll''': This is no aimless horde - the Absolute's forces are organised. What do you make of it, Gale?
* '''Gale''': All enemies have some chink in their armour, no matter how much they like to believe themselves invulnerable. That's what we must find.
* '''Wyll''': And if we don't find any clear weakness?
* '''Gale''': Then we hope our mutual strengths are enough to dominate them. Or, we die nobly in the attempt.
 
----(At [[Moonrise Towers Prison]])
 
* '''Gale''': Not a devil in sight. How disappointing.
* '''Wyll''': I doubt a few iron bars are sufficient to hold one of Zariel's.
* '''Gale''': True enough. But an illithid pod? That would probably do the trick.
* '''Wyll''': I wager you're right. Ah, Gale - what a pleasure to see a genius' mind at work.
 
----(At [[Moonrise Towers Prison]])
 
* '''Gale''': How long have you been pacted to Mizora, Wyll?
* '''Wyll''': Seven years. Seven years of hunting the monsters of the Sword Coast - and seven years of Mizora's tight leash.
* '''Wyll''': And seven years of wondering if I'd ever rid myself of her - or if I even should.
 
----(''If Gale is romanced by Act 2'')
 
* '''Gale''': I've heard that in Baldur's Gate, 'wizard' is also a term used for one who eschews their more, '''ahem''', carnal desires. Is that true, Wyll?
* '''Wyll''': Where are we going with this, Gale?
* '''Gale''': Oh, nowhere. I just think it a rather cruel misnomer. Not at all reflective of the glamour wizarding life affords.
 
----(At [[Moonrise Towers]] Assault)
 
* '''Wyll''': This is it, Gale - today, we annihilate the heart of the Absolute's power. The bards will sing of our victory here.
* '''Gale''': Entirely unnecessary. Though if they are so inclined, I might be convinced to share a stanza or two of my own for inspiration.
 
----(At [[Moonrise Towers Prison]] after rescuing Mizora)
 
* '''Wyll''': Of course Mizora was Zariel's captured asset. How did I not see it coming?
* '''Gale''': It's in a devil's nature to conceal the truth - you can't fault yourself for that.
* '''Wyll''': I've been pacted for seven years on, Gale. I should be able to read between Mizora's lines by now, no matter how narrow the gap.
 
----(At [[Basilisk Gate Barracks]])
 
* '''Gale''': The history of the city itself is captured in the archives here - a fascinating resource.
* '''Wyll''': I wonder what those archives will reveal about us a hundred years hence.
* '''Gale''': Only the most excellent and complimentary things. With some encouragement from us, of course.
 
----(At [[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.
 
----(''If Wyll is romanced by Act 3'')
 
* '''Wyll''': I'm probably going to regret this, but Gale - if I'm to be wed, would you like to make a speech?
* '''Gale''': You've asked the right wizard. My oratory skills have left many a wedding guest weeping in their seat.
* '''Wyll''': Promise it will last less than half an hour?
* '''Gale''': I can promise it will feel like less than half an hour...
 
----(''If Gale is romanced by Act 3'')
 
* '''Wyll''': I used to believe the beauty of first love was unable to be surpassed.
* '''Wyll''': But Gale - you are so much more tolerable now you've found your second.
* '''Gale''': I'll take that comment with the sincerity and good will I assume it was intended.
 
----(At [[Morphic Pool]])
 
* '''Gale''': Whatever the outcome of what's just ahead, it will be the stuff of legends.
* '''Wyll''': In that case, someone needs to survive to tell the story.
* '''Gale''': My money's on you, Wyll.
* '''Wyll''': I'm betting on all of us.

Line 405: Line 544:
* '''Karlach''': Used to your new look yet, Wyll? I for one think you look smashing.
* '''Karlach''': Used to your new look yet, Wyll? I for one think you look smashing.
* '''Wyll''': You know, I think I am. It certainly didn't put off my - er- dance partner.
* '''Wyll''': You know, I think I am. It certainly didn't put off my - er- dance partner.
* '''Karlach''': Ah, dance, the true language of love.<hr>(If [[Last Light Inn]] was protected)  
* '''Karlach''': Ah, dance, the true language of love.<hr>(If [[Last Light Inn]] was protected)


* '''Karlach''': Think the bar is open?
* '''Karlach''': Think the bar is open?

==={{Banter|Lae'zel}}===
*'''Wyll''': Lae'zel, you've the most ''exquisite'' eyes - golden as the sands of the Calim.
 
*'''Lae'zel''': And you've a soft skull. A ''ghaik'' tentacle will have no issues pushing through it.
* '''Lae'zel''': The Blade of Frontiers, hm? Do you always need to be the centre of attention?
*'''Wyll''': Is that... a compliment?
* '''Wyll''': Anything but. I don't fight to be flattered, Lae'zel. I fight to save lives.<hr>
* '''Lae'zel''': No, it is a fact. Life in this Faerûn is laughably weak.
 
<hr>
* '''Wyll''': Lae'zel, you've the most ''exquisite'' eyes - golden as the sands of the Calim.
* '''Lae'zel''': And you've a soft skull. A ''ghaik'' tentacle will have no issues pushing through it.
* '''Wyll''': Is that... a compliment?
* '''Lae'zel''': No, it is a fact. Life in this Faerûn is laughaby weak.<hr>
*'''Wyll''': I've never met anyone like you, Lae'zel.
*'''Wyll''': I've never met anyone like you, Lae'zel.
*'''Lae'zel''': Yes I've been told I'm quite scintillating.
*'''Lae'zel''': Yes I've been told I'm quite scintillating.
*'''Wyll''': Have you really?
*'''Wyll''': Have you really?
*'''Lae'zel''': No.
*'''Lae'zel''': No.
<hr>
<hr>(After meeting [[Mizora]])
 
* '''Lae'zel''': If you wish to be rid of your devil, Wyll, we should just kill her and be done with it.
* Wyll: And incur the wrath of the Hells? I might as well just leap straight into the fires.<hr>
*'''Wyll''': Mm - Lae'zel, do you believe in love at first sight?
*'''Wyll''': Mm - Lae'zel, do you believe in love at first sight?
*'''Lae'zel''': I hardly believe in love at all.
*'''Lae'zel''': I hardly believe in love at all.
Line 469: Line 614:
*'''Lae'zel''': But I do believe in carnal pleasure.
*'''Lae'zel''': But I do believe in carnal pleasure.
*'''Wyll''': Oh!
*'''Wyll''': Oh!
<hr>
<hr>(''If Wyll is romanced by Act 1'')
*'''Wyll''': Can an illithid go solo, Lae'zel? You know - break free of their master?
 
*'''Lae'zel''': Renegades are rare, but not unheard of.
* '''Lae'zel''': Wyll, you are a man of great vigour. Why have you not sought a mate any of these nights we have camped?
*'''Lae'zel''': A ''ghaik'' gone astray is no less dangerous for it - and its head no less valuable.
* '''Wyll''': Ah, well, I admit I've had thoughts about it. In my own way.
<hr>
* '''Lae'zel''': Do not think, Wyll. Act.<hr>(''If Lae'zel is romanced by Act 1'')
 
* '''Wyll''': I really didn't expect the affair to last between the two of you, Lae'zel. Is it getting to be something more?
* '''Lae'zel''': We have spilled one another's blood. We have spent blows until utter exhaustion.
* '''Wyll''': Congratulations - I think.<hr>
 
* '''Lae'zel''': I've not heard of these 'Flaming Fist'. Enlighten me, Wyll.
* '''Wyll''': The Coast's chief militia, led by none other than Grand Duke Ulder Ravengard himself.
** (''If Wyll is revealed to be Duke Ravengard's son'')
* '''Lae'zel''': Your father, you mean?
* '''Wyll''': The very same.<hr>
 
* '''Lae'zel''': Every moment a new danger. I may have underestimated this Faerûn.
* '''Wyll''': You don't know the half of it. With a bit of luck, we'll meet a beholder.<hr>
*'''Wyll''': Lae'zel, have you ever done good deed just for the sake of it?
*'''Wyll''': Lae'zel, have you ever done good deed just for the sake of it?
*'''Lae'zel''': I have performed deeds well and efficiently. Is this what you mean?
*'''Lae'zel''': I have performed deeds well and efficiently. Is this what you mean?
*'''Wyll''': Not exactly. But you answered my question.
*'''Wyll''': Not exactly. But you answered my question.<hr>(''If Gale is present'')
 
* '''Wyll''': Who's in charge of the mind flayers, Lae'zel? Is there a squid king or something?
* '''Lae'zel''': No. Each ghaik is servant to an elder brain. No king unites elders - only their collective tyranny.
* '''Gale''': A mind flayer monarch, imagine that. Such a thing could shatter worlds.<hr>
 
* '''Wyll''': Can an illithid go solo, Lae'zel? You know - break free of their master?
** (''If Omeluum hasn't been encountered'')
* '''Lae'zel''': Renegades are rare, but not unheard of.
* '''Lae'zel''': A ghaik gone astray is no less dangerous for it - and its head no less valuable.
** (''If Omeluum has been encountered'')
* '''Lae'zel''': Renegades are rare, but not unheard of. [[Omeluum]] is one such creature.
* '''Lae'zel''': A ghaik gone astray is no less dangerous for it - and its head no less valuable.<hr>(At [[Mountain Pass]])
 
* '''Wyll''': Lae'zel, are you sure of the greeting we'll find at this crèche of yours?
* '''Lae'zel''': Of course I'll be welcomed. And if you behave, you may keep your head too.
* '''Wyll''': I can count on you to vouch for me, I hope.
* '''Lae'zel''': Don't worry. You're more useful to me alive.<hr>(At [[Crèche Y'llek]])
 
* '''Lae'zel''': How I have longed for these familiar sounds and sights.devnote
* '''Wyll''': Well I'll be. So even the ferocious Lae'zel has a soft side.
* '''Lae'zel''': A possessive side. What is a warrior without something precious to protect?<hr>(''If Wyll is romanced by Act 2'')
 
* '''Lae'zel''': Does your species release airborne pheromones upon beginning the courtship dance, Wyll?
* '''Lae'zel''': I've heard thus is the way with certain birds of paradise and prey. The chemical induces lowered inhibitions between the pair.
* '''Wyll''': No. I mean, I don't think so. Would you count a light spritz from a vial of jasmine dust as a pheromone?
* '''Lae'zel''': Indubitably.<hr>(At [[Mind Flayer Colony]])
 
* '''Wyll''': Lae'zel - did you ever fight illithid creatures in your training days?
* '''Lae'zel''': Never. The ''ghaik'' aboard the nautiloid was the first I ever witnessed in flesh.
* '''Wyll''': Really? I figured you would have joined your fellow gith in a colony raid.
* '''Lae'zel''': A young warrior is expected to fight their first ghaik with their cousins - kin hatched from the same clutch.
* '''Lae'zel''': The ones who triumph earn a place in githyanki society. The one's who don't, perish.<hr>(At [[Sharess' Caress]])
 
* '''Wyll''': When I was a child, father sent me to Sharess' Caress to deliver messages.
* '''Wyll''': How was I to know what went on behind its closed doors?
* '''Lae'zel''': Eating, sleeping, and sex acts of all manner, of course.
* '''Wyll''': Hm. What's plain to you wasn't so plain to mini-Wyll.
* '''Lae'zel''': 'Mini-Lae'zel' wasn't so sheltered. On Crèche K'liir, very little is hidden behind doors.<hr>(''If Lae'zel is romanced by Act 3'')
 
* '''Wyll''': I hope my home can be yours, if you don't go back to the skies.
* '''Lae'zel''': ''Chk''. I have no intention of allowing myself to grow a third stomach and a withered arm in a ducal seat.devnote
* '''Wyll''': I meant the Gate! But you're always welcome for tea.<hr>(At the Eastern Docks)
 
* '''Lae'zel''': I smell danger on the wind. Keep your weapons ready.
* '''Wyll''': The only thing the wind's carrying is the smell of trout. Lae'zel. We're near the fish market.Lae'zel: Discount my warning at your peril.
* '''Wyll''': I get it, Lae'zel - peril, danger, and so forth. All I can think of now is a nice fish dinner.<hr>(At [[Sewers]])
 
* '''Lae'zel''': Baldur's Gate's sewer system could use a few... improvements.
* '''Wyll''': The smell getting to you, Lae'zel?
* '''Lae'zel''': It isn't the smell that bothers me - it's the inefficiency. An entire underground wasted on waste that could simply be teleported to Wildspace.
* '''Wyll''': Hm. Once the Absolute's finished, I'll be sure to propose your idea to the Council.<hr>(''If Wyll is romanced by Act 3'')
 
* '''Lae'zel''': To bind oneself to another forever seems a fool's vow.devnote
* '''Wyll''': Then by all means, call me a fool.
* '''Wyll''': In the Gate especially, it's uncommon to marry your first love nowadays.
* '''Wyll''': But losing that early love is still the regret foremost of forgotten sorrows.<hr>(At [[Steel Watch Foundry]])
 
* '''Wyll''': Labour is the lifeblood of every city. Baldur's Gate would perish without its workers.
* '''Lae'zel''': So it is with the githyanki. Without the mlar's swords and ships, and the gardens of our g'lathk, the empire couldn't thrive.devnote
* '''Wyll''': Maybe githyanki and humans aren't so different after all.
* '''Lae'zel''': Let's not carried away, Wyll.
