'''Warning''': Once Gale dies, you do not have forever to resurrect him. On your ''third'' [[Long Rest]] after Gale dies, you'll awake to a special Game Over.

 

* Follow the projection's instructions.

** Gale died, activating a magical projection of himself which insisted that he be resurrected with the utmost urgency.

** First, we need to retrieve the special pouch he carries on his person, and unthread the purple seam - moving counter-clockwise.

** There should be a flute and a letter inside the pouch. We need to play the notes on the letter, starting from the bottom-right and moving clockwise.

** Playing the flute correctly should summon a magma mephit. It will ask us a question, and we'll need to respond, 'K'ha'ssji'trach'ash'.

 

* '''(Destroyed Pouch)''' Resurrect Gale.

** We inadvertently destroyed the strange pouch Gale carried, along with any means of resurrecting him it contained. We'll need to find another way to resurrect Gale.

 

* Play the correct melody.

** We opened the pouch correctly, and were able to retrieve the flute and letter. Now we need to play the correct tune on the flute.

 

* Say the mephit's name.

** We played the correct melody on the flute, summoning the magma mephit.

 

* Resurrect Gale.

** We told the magma mephit his name. In return, he turned the letter into a Scroll of True Resurrection. Using the scroll, we should be able to resurrect Gale in no time.

 

 

If [[Gale]] should die for any reason, then you'll see his body start to release {{DamageType|Necrotic}} damage to anyone nearby. After combat ends you'll see a magical of Gale pop up and convince you to resurrect him within three days. To do so he tells you a rather elaborate procedure for summoning up a [[Scroll of True Resurrection]] he has prepared.

'''It's not necessary to obtain or use this scroll''', as any resurrection method (including [[Scroll of Revivify|Scrolls of Revivify]]) will satisfy the quest. However, unlike Revivify the True Resurrection scroll with resurrect any party member with all their hitpoints.

Once Gale's back in the living, a Persuasion (DC 10) or Intimidation (DC 12) Check will get Gale to open up a bit more about what just happened, but he'll still remain tight-lipped about key details. Refusing to press him after succeeding the check will grant some approval. Quest complete.

* [[Scroll of True Resurrection]] (if Gale's protocol was followed)
