Fighting Elminster is ill-advised. To say nothing of his overleveled stats relative to the party when he is encountered in Act One, he also leaves no loot and his hostility will lock [[Gale]] out of progressing in his personal quest. If the player does successfully defeat Elminster in combat, though, the party is awarded 1000 experience. | Fighting Elminster is ill-advised.
