His dialogue after Elminster visits the party at the beginning of act 2 foreshadows the choice he has to make:
"A shame my first brush with the famed Elminster couldn't be a tad more optimistic. Listen I might invoke the Triad from time to time, appeal to Helm, but I'm no man of faith, not like Gale. I don't know what drives a man to consider his own death among countless others to be an appropriate exchange for his goddess's forgiveness, to me it all sounds like nonsense. The faith that matters most is that which you hold in yourself, in the ones that most matter to you. Big bomb be damned Gail's got everything he needs to defeat the Absolute already: Talent nerve and powerful allies at his side. I hope he'll come to see that."
Wyll is of course not willing to die for Mystra's forgiveness, but Mystra's forgiveness does not matter to him. It is his father, that he is willing to throw his life and soul away for.
I'd never thought about how this reaction reflected Wyll's own situation. Very interesting. As an aside, I do like Wyll's reaction to Mystra's orders. It's the same basic points as Lae'zel gives, and I love her reaction too. Coincidentally, they are the only two I can get reactions from here, when I play as Gale.
