Thank you for saving The Grove!

Bath time!

There's a file for each companion that has the description: "This companion has been completely overtaken by the absolute and is showing up in the courtyard as part of the resistance. This is for companions that left the party." And each one just has a line like, "For the Absolute!" Minsc's is, "Array your end-parts before me, evil. The Absolute has given me boots enough for all!" 😄 It seems this was an older idea that got removed.

I'm not sure if this always triggers in a Gale Origin run or requires a specific path (and it's one of those randomized companion responses), but Minthara has a line that says, "Are you afraid, wizard? There is no shame in it when faced with madness such as this." Which is a surprisingly kind thing for her to say to him. (Not that she never shows kindness. She just usually doesn't show it to Gale lol.)

There's A LOT of little, slightly different Gale dialogues when discussing using the orb, depending on how he feels about using it, how he feels about the crown, if he talked to Mystra, if you're partnered with him, and your dialogue choices. It does seem though that, no matter what path he's on, even if he wants to try fighting, he is always willing to use the orb if that it ultimately what it comes to in the fight.
