Gaal

Gaal is the high priest of his beholder cult's God, the Unseeing Eye during the Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn campaign.
==Encounters==
===First===
Gaal is first found preaching to some Athkatlan citizens in the Temple District and trying to convince them to join a new 'religion' with a new deity. If he is attacked here before he walks away, many further quests and areas become unfinishable.
===Second===
Afterwards, the party will be asked to investigate the cult. He then can be found in his Cult Domain in The Old Tunnels accessed from the Temple District Sewers.
He wants the party to retrieve one half of a powerful artifact. Accept the job and he will give you a key to the Lower Reaches. Killing or attacking Gaal before accepting his quest locks you out of several areas and quests!
===Third===
After killing the Unseeing Eye it is possible to return to the cult domain and kill him, along some other cultists.

==Notable Loot==
*Girdle of Fortitude
==Notes==
*None of the three creatures files actually have Gaal's Key in inventory; it is awarded only after accepting his job to find the Rift Device part from the Lower Reaches.
*If Gaal is killed in the Temple District (CsGaal.cre) he is only worth and does not drop the Girdle. This also means you can't get the key, locking you out of huge portions of the game as well as loot and XP.
*Another version of Gaal (Gaal02.cre) also does not have the Girdle in inventory.
*For the most part, the party deals with the version of Gaal in the Old Tunnels (Gaal01.cre) who is worth 14,000 XP and drops the Girdle when killed.
