Gale/Banter

A collection of Gale's remarks and overhead conversations with other characters.

Remarks

At low health:

Weave save me. I can't take much more...
Death can't have me. Not yet...
I cannot die. Please, help me.
Some healing for a wizard in need?

Attacked by party member:

Really?
Stop it!
Get off!

Can't fit in a small hole:

I'm far too big to get through there.
Perhaps if there were considerably less of me...
That's not a Gale-sized hole.

Can't fit in a tiny hole:

Which part of me is supposed to fit in there, exactly?
Far, far far too small for me.
I'm a large man, and that's a very small hole.

Can't use an item:

Now's not the right time for that.
Hmmm. Maybe later.
No. I'll have to try again later.
I can't use this at the moment.

Can't use an item while in combat:

Gods, you're distracting aren't you?
Perhaps later, when I'm not in mortal peril...
Hardly the right moment for that!
Not the time!

Finding a locked item:

Locked. Perhaps by some nearby mechanism...
Not budging. There must be something here to unlock it.
Can't be opened directly. Time to investigate.
No ordinary lock. Something else seals it.

Looking at a globe:

Ah, to hold the world in the palm of one's hand!

Looking at an astrolabe:

Quite something, to hold the cosmos in your hands...
A map of the celestial bodies. Beautiful, but not a patch on the real thing.
A fine apparatus. Though not as beautiful as my own.
Coliar, Karpri, Anadia... So many worlds still to travel. One day.

Looking into a mirror:

Looking magical, as always.
'Doth thy mirror crack?' Apparently not.
No harm reflecting on one's appearance.

Looking into a telescope:

No time for star-gazing. More's the pity.

Succeeded Perception roll (trap):

A trap... This place is more dangerous than I thought.
A nasty surprise... Caution is warranted here.
My, I had better be careful not to trigger that thing.

Succeeded Investigation roll:

I spy with my little eye...
Something hidden - but not from me.
Methinks I spotted something.
What's that over there?
Intriguing.

Succeeded Investigation roll (trap):

A trap... So much for the art of hospitality.
Traps! One always has to be on the alert.
Traps, eh? I've a feeling I'm not very welcome here.

Identified a mimic:

My, my, a mimic. I'm the last one you've tried to ambush, you craven thing.

Surprised by mimic:

Another mimic! You'd think I'd get better at spotting the damned things.
Gah! That's a frightful amount of teeth where there shouldn't be any.

Gale and Astarion

Gale and Karlach

Gale: I don't suppose you've any clue where we are in relation to Waterdeep?
Karlach: From this distance between Elturel and Baldur's Gate, I'd say... a long way away.
Gale: Ah. That will make getting word to my mother rather tricky.
Gale: No matter - what she doesn't know can't hurt her. Not at this distance, anyway.

Gale and Lae'zel

Gale: Tell me, Lae'zel, when you say we might be 'purified' at your créche, what does that mean exactly?
Lae'zel: A ghustil will affix the zaith'isk, the purifier, to our heads.
Lae'zel: Its magic will quell the parasite in an instant.

Gale: That zaith'isk you mentioned intrigues me. Care to tell me a bit more?
Lae'zel: An intricate device, crafted by mlar - our most gifted artisans. I am sworn to say no more.

Gale: Tell me Lae'zel, what is it like on the Astral Plane? Your home realm intrigues me.
Lae'zel: Githyanki lay their eggs on other planes. They cannot mature in the Astral.
Lae'zel: I will only be welcomed once I obtain a mind flayer's head.

Gale: Your prowess in battle is remarkable, as is your battle stance itself.
Lae'zel: Hrath ajak - a technique known to few otuside K'liir. shall I teach you?
Gale: I'll pass thank you. I prefer Abjuration over acrobatics.

Gale: I was wondering about your queen, Vlaakith. What tales of her reach us are terrifying, but I suppose that's not how you would describe her.
Lae'zel: vlaakith is unity: fear and beauty, life and unlife. Eyes like onyx, teeth like daggers. There is none more perfect.
Shadowheart: Sounds vile. I assume the meaning of 'perfect' was lost in translation...

Gale and Shadowheart

Gale: The road to Baldur's Gate is a long one. Who knows how long it'll take these folks to get there on foot?
Shadowheart: If they make it. They're slow, vulnerable. Half or more will die long before Basilisk Gate.
Gale: Doesn't seem to trouble you a jot.
Shadowheart: What good would it do for me to be troubled? We can't save them all.

(at Last Light Inn)

Gale: Whatever I expected to find lurking in this cursed gloom, it certainly wasn't this. A glimmer of hope amidst the darkness.
Shadowheart: That's one way of looking at it. You could also say it's a prime target - the one pocket of light in the gloom.
Gale: Pragmatism, thy name is Shadowheart. You're not wrong though - best we keep our sojourn here to a minimum.
