As part of [[the Wizard of Waterdeep]] questline, once the player gets the book [[the Annals of Karsus]] and lets Gale read it, he thinks he can use the power of the Crown for himself. He wants to talk to you privately about it. Upon leaving [[Sorcerous Sundries]], the party will be intercepted by Elminster who tells Gale that Mystra has requested to speak with him at the Stormshore Tabernacle. After the next long rest, Gale will have an exclamation point above his head, signaling that he wants to talk. During this conversation, he'll create an illusion of the realm of the gods, with both of you in a rowboat. | As part of [[the Wizard of Waterdeep]] questline, once the player gets the book [[the Annals of Karsus]] and lets Gale read it, he thinks he can use the power of the Crown for himself.

'''''Note''''': There exists two different versions of the rowboat scene depending on when Gale speaks to Mystra at the Stormshore Tabernacle and the outcome of their conversation. The options chosen during the first scene described below can change the course of his relationship with the player and his personal questline. | '''''Note''''': There exists two different versions of the rowboat scene depending on when Gale speaks to Mystra at the [[Stormshore Tabernacle]] and the outcome of their conversation.

# If Gale '''has not yet met''' with Mystra or has met with her but '''did not agree to give her the Crown of Karsus''', he will explain his frustration with the indifference of the gods, and insist that by reforging the Crown, you both can become gods and help humanity instead of just watching and denying them power. He pleads with you to follow him on his course, and the player can either encourage Gale to use the Crown, or tell him it should be handed over to [[Mystra]]. Choosing the dialogue options that assure Gale you love him for who he is and that he doesn't need to prove himself "worthy" of you through godhood will lead him to concede and say that he can live without becoming a god but not without you, and the scene ends with a kiss between you two. If you argue with him that the power of the Crown will corrupt him as it did Karsus, he will be visibly disheartened and ask the player what more there is to be said between them. At this point, you can tell him to dissolve the illusion and take you back to camp, ending the relationship, or choose the option "Plenty, in time. This doesn't have to be the end for us. Just forget the Crown." His response reveals part of his motivation for seeking the Crown, insisting that he can be so much more to you. Once again you can reassure him that he is already all you need and the rest of the scene proceeds as above. Alternatively, you can support his plans for ascension outright and agree to help him in reforging the Crown. He expresses his delight at your decision and the scene ends with a kiss. | # If Gale '''has not yet met''' with Mystra or has met with her but '''did not agree to give her the Crown of Karsus''', he will explain his frustration with the indifference of the gods, and insist that by reforging the Crown, you both can become gods and help humanity instead of just watching and denying them power.
