== Appearance == | |||
Elminster wears a flowing orange-red robe with a matching hat, whose drooped steeple hangs backwards. Luscious silver locks of hair pour outward from the wide brim of his hat and blend into an equally long beard, between which sits a round, wizened face. A brilliant blue sash, decorated with jewels and signets, is draped between his left shoulder and right hip. Completing his finery is a necklace gold and silver plates and a single blood-red jewel, with a belt to match. In stark contrast to this opulent getup, he wields a single plain, unenchanted quarterstaff. | Elminster wears a flowing orange-red robe with a matching hat, whose drooped steeple hangs backwards.

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. | Fighting Elminster is ill-advised.
