Well well, look what the tressym dragged in...

盖尔的法球结局如何？
阿斯代伦的结局如何？
盖尔
Professor Gale Dekarios of Blackstaff Academy, educator of the esteemed School of Illusion. A pleasure to remake your acquaintance.
参考译文黑杖学院幻术学派的教师，盖尔·德卡里奥斯教授。很高兴与你再续旧交。
起源阿斯代伦
I see Mystra didn't smite you in the end...
参考译文看来密斯特拉最后没有降罚于你……
盖尔
She did not, I'm delighted to report.
参考译文很高兴地告诉你：她并没有。
版本 I 条件 · 交还王冠，法球被治愈
盖尔
I surrendered the Crown of Karsus to her, as I told you I would. And in return, she cured me of the orb at last.
参考译文我按照承诺把卡尔萨斯王冠交给了她。作为交换，她终于替我除去了体内的法球。
盖尔
Even now, I struggle to put the feeling into words. It was like exhaling for the first time, after holding my breath for so very long.
参考译文即便现在，我也很难用语言形容那种感觉。仿佛屏息了太久，终于第一次吐出一口气。
盖尔
Of course, I haven't clarified with my students that the orb is no longer a threat. The legend of my explosive capabilities is an excellent means of controlling a classroom. Too good, if anything.
参考译文当然，我没有向学生澄清法球已经不再构成威胁。关于我会爆炸的传闻，是管理课堂的绝佳手段——甚至有点太好用了。
版本 II 条件 · 法球仍留在盖尔体内
盖尔
She sought me out, not long after we went our separate ways, and assured me neither she nor the orb should pose me any threat in the future.
参考译文我们分道扬镳后不久，她主动找到了我，并向我保证，今后无论她还是法球，都不会再威胁我。
盖尔
Of course, it's still in there. A constant reminder of my former hubris, and a surprisingly effective means of keeping my more disobedient students in line. Perhaps a tad too effective.
参考译文当然，它还在里面。它时时提醒着我从前的傲慢，也意外地很能管住那些不太听话的学生——或许有效得有点过头。
起源阿斯代伦
Hug him.
参考译文拥抱他。
盖尔
Well, that was quite lovely. I'm glad you're as pleased to see me as I am you.
参考译文这一抱真好。看来你见到我，也和我见到你一样高兴。
盖尔
I have to say, I'm quite grateful to just be 'Gale' for the evening.
参考译文我得说，今晚只需做回“盖尔”，我还真有些庆幸。
起源阿斯代伦
Are you sure? I know I ended things rather... abruptly.
参考译文你确定吗？我知道当初是我结束了我们的关系，而且结束得相当……突然。
盖尔
Fear not. My heart has survived far crueller partings, and lived to tell the tale.
参考译文不必担心。我的心经历过远比这残酷的离别，而且依然撑了过来。
盖尔
I assure you, I meant exactly what I said to you at the time. Perfect as they are, some things aren't made to last forever.
参考译文我向你保证，当时说的每句话都是真心的。有些事物即使完美，也并非注定永远延续。
盖尔
I feel quite certain that the bond of friendship between us will have far more longevity.
参考译文我十分确信，我们之间的友谊会长久得多。
塔拉
This is why Mrs Dekarios and I will be waiting an eternity more for grandchildren.
参考译文看来德卡里奥斯夫人和我还得再等好一阵子，才盼得到孙辈。
盖尔
Psst! Shoo, Tara.
参考译文嘘！去去，塔拉。
盖尔
I have to say, I'm quite grateful to just be 'Gale' for the evening.
参考译文我得说，今晚只需做回“盖尔”，我还真有些庆幸。
起源阿斯代伦
You? A teacher? I'd hardly say you set the best example for impressionable young wizards...
参考译文你？当老师？我可不觉得你能给那些容易受影响的年轻法师树立什么好榜样……
盖尔
I think it makes perfect sense.
参考译文我觉得这再合理不过。
起源阿斯代伦
You found a job where you can talk as much as you like and people have to listen? Well done.
参考译文你找到了一份可以随便讲个不停、而别人还必须听着的工作？干得漂亮。
盖尔
I thought you might say that.
参考译文我就知道你会这么说。
选择 01.1D · 质疑盖尔能否为学生树立榜样，或 01.1E · 调侃他找到可以尽情说话的工作后，盖尔接着谈起自己对滥用魔法的警示。
盖尔
Who better to warn of the perils of misusing magic than someone who was once only a wayward sneeze away from destroying a mid-sized settlement?
参考译文还有谁比一个曾经只差一次失控的喷嚏就能毁掉一座中型聚居地的人，更适合警告学生滥用魔法的危险？
塔拉
Don't remind me of those terrible times, Mr Dekarios. My blood pressure has only just recovered.
参考译文别让我想起那些可怕的日子，德卡里奥斯先生。我的血压才刚刚恢复。
版本 I 条件 · 术士、邪术师或法师
起源阿斯代伦
You confine yourself to the School of Illusion? I'd have thought you could teach the entire curriculum...
参考译文你只教幻术学派？我还以为你足以教授全部课程……
版本 II 条件 · 其他职业
起源阿斯代伦
Only a professor? With your expertise, I'd have thought you could teach every kind of magic going...
参考译文只是教授？凭你的本事，我还以为你能教授所有种类的魔法……
盖尔
I did offer, as a matter of fact.
参考译文事实上，我的确提议过。
盖尔
However, the Blackstaff insisted I couldn't teach every subject, nor could the simulacra of myself I offered to create for that purpose.
参考译文不过，黑杖坚持认为我不能把所有科目都包揽下来，也不能让为了这个目的而创造的拟像代替我授课。
盖尔
So, I've settled for teaching the art of illusion. Magic to confound the senses, to render the impossible into reality, and to allow expression of that most magical attribute of all - imagination.
参考译文于是，我只好退而求其次，教授幻术：迷惑感官、把不可能化为现实，并表达一切魔法中最具魔力的特质——想象力。
选择 01.1B–F 并读完对应回应后，盖尔继续谈起学生对他的畏惧。
盖尔
I fear my students find me somewhat intimidating, due to my erm, explosive former reputation. I seem to put the fear of the gods into them.
参考译文恐怕我的学生觉得我有些吓人，这得归因于我过去那种……会爆炸的名声。我似乎让他们心生对诸神的敬畏。
盖尔
Or the fear of Mystra, to be more specific.
参考译文更准确地说，是对密斯特拉的敬畏。
盖尔
I spend most of my time trying to convince them how much fun the study of magic can be, but it'd be easier to crack a smile on an intellect devourer than some of my pupils...
参考译文我大部分时间都在努力让他们相信研究魔法可以多么有趣；但要让我的某些学生笑一笑，恐怕还不如逗笑一只噬脑怪容易……
起源阿斯代伦
Don't worry. I can say from experience - you're an excellent teacher.
参考译文别担心。以我的亲身经验来说——你是一位出色的老师。
盖尔
Ah, so you still remember our little lesson?
参考译文啊，原来你还记得我们那堂小课？

盖尔
It was at that moment, the Weave connecting us, that I realised how much your friendship had come to mean to me. As it still does.
参考译文正是在魔网连接我们的那一刻，我意识到你的友谊对我已多么重要。如今依然如此。
版本 I 条件 · 吟游诗人、德鲁伊、术士、邪术师或法师
盖尔
You were, of course, indulging me in submitting to such a lesson. 'Teaching' you was hardly an effort at all. Not like my present cohort of apprentices.
参考译文当然，当时你只是迁就我，才肯接受那样一堂课。“教”你几乎不费什么力气。可不像我现在这批学徒。
版本 II 条件 · 其他职业
盖尔
'Teaching' you was hardly an effort at all. Not like my present cohort of apprentices.
参考译文“教”你几乎不费什么力气。可不像我现在这批学徒。
盖尔
They try their best, of course - when they can manage to stay awake.
参考译文他们当然尽力了——只要他们能别睡着。
塔拉
The cheek of them! Nothing a well-placed swipe from Tara can't fix, though.
参考译文真是放肆！不过，没有什么是塔拉精准的一爪解决不了的。
起源阿斯代伦
Perhaps that's a good thing. I'm sure they're far better students than I was...
参考译文或许这样反倒是好事。我相信他们一定比当年的我更像个好学生……
盖尔
Ah, so you still remember our little lesson?
参考译文啊，原来你还记得我们那堂小课？
盖尔
A pity we can't repeat it now - I'm quite certain you'd pass with flying colours. If nothing else, you'd give it more enthusiasm than some of my current apprentices.
参考译文可惜现在没法再来一次——我很确定，你一定会以优异表现通过。至少，你肯定会比我现在的一些学徒更有热情。
盖尔
They try their best, of course - when they can manage to stay awake.
参考译文他们当然尽力了——只要他们能别睡着。
塔拉
The cheek of them! Nothing a well-placed swipe from Tara can't fix, though.
参考译文真是放肆！不过，没有什么是塔拉精准的一爪解决不了的。
起源阿斯代伦
Go on then - convince me. Why is illusory magic so much fun?
参考译文那就说服我吧。幻术魔法到底有趣在哪里？
盖尔
Illusory magic has the power to confound the senses, to render the impossible into reality, and to allow expression of that most magical attribute of all - imagination.
参考译文幻术拥有迷惑感官、把不可能化为现实的力量，也让人得以表达一切魔法中最具魔力的特质——想象力。
版本 I条件 · 吟游诗人、牧师、术士、邪术师或法师
盖尔
Of course, I need not sell you on the virtues of such spellcasting. It lies well within your field of expertise, as you demonstrated to me.
参考译文当然，我无需再向你说明这种施法方式的妙处。正如你曾向我展示的那样，这完全属于你的专长领域。
版本 II条件 · 其他职业
盖尔
Had you the decades to spare, I think you'd prove quite adept at it, as you did in that first lesson I taught you.

起源阿斯代伦
It is a pity to imagine you chained to a desk. You wouldn't rather be out adventuring?
参考译文想到你被拴在书桌前，真让人惋惜。你不更愿意出去冒险吗？
盖尔
I confess, sometimes while marking a student's fifth attempt at explaining the principles of illusory materialization, the thought occurs to me...
参考译文我承认，有时批改某个学生第五次尝试解释幻术实体化原理的作业时，这个念头的确会浮现……
盖尔
In fact, I've actually been considering writing down the story of our adventures. The true tale of our flawed but ultimately endearing troupe, and the trials and tribulations we overcame.
参考译文事实上，我一直在考虑把我们的冒险写下来：记录我们这群虽有缺点却终究可爱的同伴，以及我们克服的重重磨难。
盖尔
I can hardly leave it to the likes of Volo to give a true account of our adventures. And no one would believe him if he did.
参考译文我可不能把如实讲述我们冒险经历的任务交给瓦罗之流。就算真交给他，也不会有人相信。
塔拉
That odious man truly frizzles my whiskers. 'Long-haired miniature dragon,' he calls me. 'Tressym' is much less of a mouthful.
参考译文那个讨厌的家伙真能把我的胡须气炸。他叫我“长毛小龙”。“翼猫”明明没那么拗口。
起源阿斯代伦
You used to take yourself rather seriously, you know...
参考译文你知道吗，你以前可是相当一本正经……
盖尔
I did. But meeting you, travelling that strangest of roads together, I learned to see myself differently. See the Weave differently.
参考译文确实如此。但遇见你、与你一同走过那条最奇异的道路后，我学会了换一种眼光看待自己，也重新认识了魔网。

起源阿斯代伦
I'm glad to hear that. Magic is no idle study. It's dangerous, and should be treated as such.
参考译文很高兴听你这么说。魔法不是供人消遣的学问；它很危险，也应当得到相应的对待。
盖尔
Still, I hoped my students might be a little more open to the playful side of such magic.
参考译文不过，我原本希望我的学生能更乐于接受这类魔法中充满趣味的一面。

Life as the Vampire Ascendant is busier than I expected. There's my lair to decorate, spawn to recruit, a domain to protect. I'm exhausted .

I've settled back into the shadows. It turns out there's a lot more fun to be had there when you don't have a bitter, cruel vampire lord watching over you.
