Summary
Gale's past does not lie quiescent. First, it was his ill-fated choices that led to the orb, driving him from his tower and eventually into the grasp of the Absolute. Then, it was his once-mentor's simulacrum (and he would be having words with Elminster about that!), bidding him to die. And now, when he was steps away from letting everything come full circle and obeying Mystra's command, the past roared to life again. It did so in the form of a familiar face, one he had sent to its apparent demise with an off-hand Thunderwave before he had even looked at his foes. Gale has a thousand questions in his mind as he fights onwards at Moonrise Towers, and none of them are about his own fate.
In which Gale is not the only wizard, once of Waterdeep, captured by the Absolute, and in which his old friend has some very strong opinions about what he's done with his life since they last met.
