Gale does seem a bit shifty, but then all mages are, so I'll cut him some slack. He is upstanding and reasonable enough to gain my dwarven cleric's respect, and I sense the potential for great friendhip.

Wyll is great as well - he might've made a poor decision in the past, but his heart is in the right place, and it would be a good thing to help him fulfill his contract and sever his ties with the Hells.

Now Shadowheart is a cunning and manipulative woman with a ton of emotional baggage - I'll keep her as far as possible from my party.

Laezel is a strong, honorable warrior, but she comes from a cruel and vicious culture - not a long-term party material as well.

And Astarion is Astarion - that beast can seek shelter in some other camp, he will not find it with my group.
