Baldur's Gate Wiki

Gavid was a Bhaalspawn who told his story to the protagonist during the Challenge 1: Retribution phase in the Pocket Plane.

You're... you're one of us. You're one of the Bhaalspawn, aren't you?

Gameplay[]

When the party enters the challenge room, a cutscene will initiate and Gavid, a portly male human. will appear in a flash of magic and initiate dialogue - although only he speaks.

He claims to have grown up in a small farming village, where he was driven out after murdering three of the local girls - then continued his murders after moving to a city.

After a certain point, he ceases his sordid tale and disappears again. At this point the challenge begins, and enemies begin spawning from openings in the chamber walls.

Once all the waves of enemies are defeated, he makes a final appearance and says a few more closing remarks that may be chilling to Gorion's Ward.

Listed below are his dialogue passages in case the reader wants a recap of what the serial killer says.

You're... you're one of us. You're one of the Bhaalspawn, aren't you?

  • Oh, but you... you needn't worry about me. I'm dead. I'm a nobody. I grew up in a small farming village... I didn't even know what I was until they came for me.

But I knew I was different. You can hear the screams at night, can't you? You can feel the blood of the murdered, how it flows all around you... a thousand different pains and you're nothing but a solitary echo.

  • But it's not terrible. It's inviting. It calls to you. And if you give into it, if you offer your entire heart up to it, everything becomes crystal clear. One murder, two, a thousand... it all becomes part of you.

I murdered three of the local girls until I was... driven out. And then I went to the city. Murder was easier there, and I felt the call every night. You can taste life, you know... and it is divine.

  • I can feel the same in you... I know you feel the call, and you surrender to it as I did, don't you? It's a power that we alone, the Bhaalspawn, can wield. And the only thing you need to fear...

But... you resist it, don't you? Why would you do that? I can feel you've murdered many, and yet you resist all the good that we alone, the Bhaalspawn, can appreciate. After all... the only thing you need to fear...

  • ...is retribution.

So... you survived retribution. I didn't. But then, you know how to kill a lot better than I did.

  • Strange thing is, the longer you survive, the more blood you have on your hands. And there's never an end to the retribution.

Or is there?
