I'm curious what will happen if you kill Gale when he's hostile to you, and not in your party. You can't res him with scrolls or the skeleton at that point. So would that be an almost automatic game over? If he's outside of camp when that happens, he can be raised with Glut's Animating Spores, or Gekh Coal can turn him into an animated corpse. Atm that breaks companion's dialogue/stories, so I wonder if he will still count as dead.
