Gale's Summon

Shovel doesn't get enough love

"Master says no hurting friends! Shovel isn't hurting friend!"

"N-no but, ah, AH! AHA, get off! Your claHAWS!" 

"Hurt?"

"N-no, but HAHA! NOT THAHAHAHAT! QUIHIHIT, quihihit, G-Gahahahale! GALE! Hehehehe, hahahahaHA!"

"Shovel? Wyll?" Gale rounded the corner past his tent, approaching the beach hidden behind those rocks. When Shovel wasn't near Karlach she was getting up to trouble, and his suspicions proved correct. Wyll's booming laughter could be heard through the whole camp.

He was on his knees in the sand as Shovel crawled around his back. Her feet were currently hanging off his horns and she appeared to be pawing at Wyll's sides upside-down with her long claws. He was twisting around as she moved too, and a large helpless grin gave away what Gale's summon was doing. He smiled at himself, pleased that she was learning less violent ways to amuse herself amongst the others. Astarion had not found it amusing when he awoke from his meditation to see her rifling through his daggers not a few days ago, but after some guidance from Gale it appeared Shovel had found better entertainment.

"Gale, Gale, sh-sheHEHE! She, haha, get her OHOFF! Your tickle demon is kihihilling mehehehe!" Wyll's arms lifted to move Shovel from his horns, but her claws dug into his exposed armpits. They came crashing down to his sides and the tiny demon readjusted her position. "Tickle demohohon! FIEND! Get ohout of thehehere!"

"Master! Shovel is making friend squeal!" 

"I see that!" Gale put his hands on his hips not unlike a proud father. "I didn't think that she would take to nonviolence so quickly. I'm proud of you, Shovel."

The quasit hummed happily and finally jumped off of Wyll's back to crawl towards her master. "Master's proud? Master is proud of Shovel!" Her tail flicked.

"I am!" He knelt down to rub the top of her head. "Such a fast learner! She didn't hurt you, did she Wyll?"

"Noho, n-no, but she got me," He stayed on his knees, rubbing his tingling sides. "Gods, and here I was trying to brood. She jumped on me and started to," He paused in a blush. The other members of their party were peaking around the rocks to see what was going on, and Wyll's ticklish secret was no more. "To…well. I guess I was loud, huh? Wasn't trying to be. I ah, have a few tickle spots she exploited crawling all over me, there, sorry I…ah…"

"Please, everyone has a tickle spot or two, no need to be embarrassed," Gale approached him and offered a hand. "I hope you're in a better mood now?"

"A bit, actually," He chuckled sheepishly and stood. "But she better not do that again without permission."

"Shovel made Master proud! Shovel will make friend squeal again."

"He's only a bit better after all that? My permission is granted," Gale surprised himself with the command, and with a squeal Shovel launched herself at Wyll once more. He fell to the ground in another giggle fit as she crawled all around his torso scratching and kneading and even nibbling. The little demon couldn't be pushed off. On the bright side, it gave the others some entertainment and Wyll didn't have a chance to stay in any sort of negative mood.

Have you all ever read the names and descriptions of the items in Shovel's casket? Because they always crack me up.

Never change, Shovel. Never change.

I was paying attention enough during my second play through to give the quasit scroll to Gale, so we now permanently enjoy the company of our filthy-mouthed and murder-hungry little demon familiar. I love her.

what if instead of being found on a temple roof, Tara came to camp after having found where Gale is and trotted into his tent to wake him up in the middle of the night because she's a cat tressym and they be like that- sees him and Tav snuggled together in their sleep and Gale gets woken up to the most scandalized

mR. DEKARIOS!!!????

Feeling kinda proud about this one ngl

ALSO I made this university’s project using the present drawing and I can’t add all of it, however, these were my favorite pages (it was kind of like a song book centered in 16 Horsepower's songs (the obsession persists) and tbh I was too stressed to really work on it so I just added stuff I had finished and called it a day)

It's under the cut btw!!
