loving the mr bonzo leitneresque hate train because personally i find this fucker one of the funniest things sonny jims has ever written for this universe. what do you mean a government organisation has a list of supernatural assassins and one of them is a sweaty hungry lap dancer monstrosity who used to star in a children’s tv show and now crashes bachelor parties bringing frankly rancid vibes. are you shittin me i love this guy
I love Gale and Karlach, they have a really sweet friendship and the care they share for one another is one of the best dynamics in the game.
I like to think that regardless of the outcome of Karlach’s story, so long as he remains human, he still makes the Cleaver. If she dies he keeps it as a reminder of her, and as a reminder to keep his promises. If she goes to the hells, he takes it to Wither’s Party and presents it too her, teaches her the words that make it work.
Karlach is delighted, and returns to the Hells (with Wyll or Tav) and uses it as an awesome distraction. First the axe dances, enemies are mesmerised by this strange axe and then ruthlessly murders everyone on her hit list.
Karlach’s Kinetic Cleaver becomes almost as famous as she does.
"Telling myself I won't go there
Oh, but I know that I won't care
Tryna wash away all the blood I've spilt
This lust is a burden that we both share
Two sinners can't atone from a lone prayer
Souls tied, intertwined by our pride and guilt"
(Daylight - David Kushner)
Gale "With you I forget my goddess" Dekarios and Dr. "We could be gods. But would you really want to?" Vrach, two wizards lost in eachother.
The birth of the God of Ambition and a new God of Death.
I'm never ascending Gale in this playthrough BUT
That doesn't stop me from wondering what kind of ending they would've gotten if he did ascend. Which works as a corruption ark with Dr. Vrach's story of embracing humanity and rejecting his divinity as a bhaalspawn. Godhood was pretty much his life goal pre tadpole, though, maybe less of a corruption and more of a return to the original plan.
Also I finally figured out his outfit, only 2 more redesigns left, yeehaw
