Once she's done hugging him, Karlach attempts to drag Astarion toward the fire - and the food. Wyll dug deep into their stores to not only bring out the finest wines, but he even managed to make a spread from the meats, cheeses, vegetables, and spices they've collected to rival even those in the Upper City. Everyone is in the finest of spirits: Halsin tells stories around the fire, Karlach and Lae'zel arm wrestle until the barrel they're using as a table cracks from the pressure atop its musty lid, and even without music, Wyll is happy to dance with any partner who will have him.
For the most part, Gale is by Astarion's side the entire time, occasionally reaching for his hand, even giving him a peck on the cheek in front of everyone before excusing himself. By the time Shadowheart and the leader of their merry band propose a drinking game, he seems to have more or less exited the scene, returning to his tent - well, what's his tent for now.
Maybe it's the celebration, or the wine, or their earlier intimacy, but whatever the reason, Gale has been inspired to get to work. On the table in his tent, he's arranged what antidotes and antitoxins he's managed to scrounge up, as well as his notes on their potency and how they affect him. It seems he's been doing some experiments in his free time over the past several days toward a very specific purpose, one he'd like to accomplish sooner rather than later.]
