So I did screw up the dialogue and did not get shovel as a permanent companion but figured it wasn’t a big deal but it seems her dialogue is stuck. All she says is “see, tell the truth beefy…”. Does this ever change? Or is this basically it with shovel’s dialogue.
I mean if you have a wizard you can just learn the scroll like you would any other spell.
So if you haven't murdered Gale, he can get it.
If you are a Storm Sorcerer he is afraid of you and you won't get that dialogue.
Otherwise yeah unless you have a save and can go back he will disappear at the next long rest.
