gale’s willingness to blow himself up makes so much sense when you think about how being a chosen of mystra grants you immortality. a little over a year before the events of the game, gale had expected to live forever. in a year, he’s had to come to terms with the fact that after being cast aside he lives a mortal human life again. he will die. his years are limited.

no wonder he wasn’t horribly shaken-up by the suggestion he’d have to die ‘soon’—and no wonder he was willing to accept it. he’d already mourned the rest of the life he thought he’d be living hundreds of years in the future.
