#the interpersonal drama of gale/durge and then lae'zel like YOU DUMB BITCHES THE SOLUTION IS FREE ORPHEUS

[revvethasmythh]

I just love if you're contemplating turning illithid to save the world, durge's line of logic for doing it would easily be "this is the perfect solution. it will wipe the slate clean. i started this, I should end it with my sacrifice" meanwhile gale will literally pull everyone aside to say he thinks we should rethink using the orb, that it's the perfect solution, it'll wipe his slate clean. two people so self-sacrificing who both want to give themselves to save the world because they think they deserve to die for their mistakes and the only reason they DON'T is for each other.......and also because lae'zel is in the background going "would you two stop being IDIOTS for just FIVE SECONDS and FREE ORPHEUS ALREADY" and she's right
