Gale had left back to Waterdeep after you defeated the Elder Brain. Karlach and Wyll had left for Avernus and Astarion stayed in Baldurs Gate.

Life was almost normal again, and despite now being a known hero all across the lands, surprisingly little had changed about your life. From being in constant danger and saving the entire coast, you now simply are a scholar again.

Gale had tried to follow his usual lifestyle. His cat alongside him, he’d been alone. Burrowing himself in his books and his studies. That was until you decided to make the journey to Waterdeep from Baldurs Gate, and soon, the gossip was everywhere. The great hero has arrived in Waterdeep.

Gale could barely believe his ears but he’d be lying if he denied the relief ran deep. And so he wasn’t entirely surprised when one calm evening, the doorbell rang. He opened with almost too much vigor.
