As the party travel together, Gale will begin displaying signs of sickness, and if friendly enough with his companions, will eventually ask them to bring him magical artefacts. When pressed for reasons why, he will mention that it is a condition he has that requires feeding from [[Weave]] but be reluctant to say more, asking them to trust him and stressing how important treating his affliction is.

When brought a magical item of {{Uncommon}} rarity or higher, Gale will consume it, temporarily treating his sickness and making him look visibly better. Gale will ask for magic items three times in total. The first time he will be left satisfied, and assures answers will be given soon. The second time he will note that the effects are diminishing but is grateful nonetheless. The third and final time he will be distressed as the effect is barely noticeable and will finally reveal the truth. | When brought a magical item of {{Uncommon}} rarity or higher, Gale will consume it, temporarily treating his sickness and making him look visibly better.

Gale can sacrifice himself before the final encounter | Gale can sacrifice himself before the final encounter with the elder brain. When approaching the brain's brainstalk, Gale can offer to do one last act of penance and complete Mystra's command and detonate the orb within him. If accepted, Gale will teleport the party away before confronting the elder brain alone and destroying it with the power of the netherese orb. Unlike the choice of sacrificing himself during act 2, this one does deal with the tadpoles as they perish along their controlling brain, leading to the [[Endings]] and [[Epilogue]]. | ||

==== | ====The God of Ambition==== | ||
If Gale's ambitions were given wind throughout the adventures together, after reforging the Crown of Karsus, Gale will use it to complete Karsus' half-formed netherese Weave and ascend to godhood, becoming the ''God of Ambition''. Unlike Mystra who keeps a tight leash on her divine boons, Gale intends to be there for all of his devouts, good or evil, spurring their desires and dreams whether they be a fledgling adventurer or a dreaded necromancer. With shrines in [[Thay]] and construction of a temple beginning in [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Amn Amn], Gale's divinity is already spreading across Faerûn. | |||
Depending on whether or not he was pushed to be vindictive against Mystra, Gale might attempt to battle the goddess of magic for supremacy. In the end, Gale's ambition proves too much and Mystra deals with him decisively. | |||
If romanced, Gale can offer his partner to ascend to his new divine realm and rule it together. If accepted, Gale does as promised and ascends his partner to oversee the ambitions of mortals together in bliss. | |||
Whatever outcome of divine Gale, Tara will be disappointed with her former friend, sorry that he could not learn from his past follies. | |||
====Elysium==== | ====Elysium==== | ||
If an origin Gale transformed into an illithid in order to defeat the elder brain, he will be granted a final audience with Mystra. Mystra can offer to cure him both of the netherese affliction and his illithid status if he accepts to go to Elysium with her. If he accepts, Mystra fulfills her promise and Gale is taken away from the Material Plane. | If an origin Gale transformed into an illithid in order to defeat the elder brain, he will be granted a final audience with Mystra.

====Failed Ascension==== | |||
Having never learned the secrets of Karsus and his netherese regalia from [[The Annals of Karsus]], Gale perishes attempting to reforge the destroyed Crown of Karsus to reach godhood. At Withers gathering, a projection of his will give his final farewells to his former companions, ruing having sacrificed everything for a chance at divinity. | |||
