He consorted with Mystra, was discarded, and sought out a piece of Mystral (whom was the previous incarnation of the deity) to return it to her so that he could prove his worth to her - but it was Netheril (sp?) magic caught in a small bit of extraplanar space residing in a book and he absorbed it. He must feed it the "weave" of these magic items lest it explode about equivalent to C4 - but magic. It adds a poor game mechanic to it and once other companions become available I may just kill Gale in the grove and leave him there to explode - presumably 2 days later.


Well, I would have to agree with you in regards to killing Gale sounds like a better option than him eating all the magic items we find. Also if It weren't for Astorian being the only thief I'd have killed him off when he attacked me
