He's bugged in my game. He wants us to find the hag's staff (which I have in my possession), but I cannot give it to him to "absorb".
Does anyone know the actual benefits of him eating a magic item? I figured he would get some kind of special ability like Asterion's Bite attack.
You get to be BFFs. That's the only benefit as far as i can tell..
Also, you can give Gale the Idol of Silvanus and 'The Necromancy of Thay' book if you have the key for it.
