Gale, are you brooding? Because I swear, if you ruin my good mood...
参考译文盖尔，你该不会又在闷头琢磨什么吧？我可警告你，要是你坏了我的好心情……
王冠沉入乔恩萨河之后
■ 源文件简介
场景概况
The githyanki have already departed on their red dragons. Lae’zel can join them or not if she’s present. Karlach leaves to die (in END_GameFinale_DeathOfKarlach). Towards the end of the dialogue, the party members wonder what to do next.
参考译文吉斯洋基人已经骑着红龙离开；如果莱埃泽尔在场，她可以选择随他们同行，也可以留下。卡菈克则会离开，走向死亡。临近对话结尾，队友们开始考虑接下来该做什么。
制作备注
JLatino: I believe Orpheus cannot appear in this sequence, he will always have departed. Looks like this can mostly take place on the pier.
参考译文JLatino：我认为俄耳甫斯不会出现在这段场景中；此时他应当已经离开。这段内容看来大多可以发生在码头上。
◆ 研究者整理
耐色脑被击败后，王冠与耐色石一同沉入乔恩萨河。盖尔接下来的打算取决于他此前对王冠的态度：追求神位、重新考虑王冠的用途，或任其留在河底。对话会由此进入不同分支；若由阿斯代伦接话，他的台词还会因是否飞升而有所不同。
