    [​IMG] OK, who was foolish enough (like me) to keep turning the pages of that monster summoning book until you got the magic items?

    I almost gave up, wondering if it would ever stop summoning monsters, but I was just to curious :)

    [​IMG] I did. I was curious too - wanted to see what is the worst monster they could throw up. Plus I wanted the XPs for Imoen.

    Did you also click on all the sides of the hemispherical thing in the Underdark that releases imprisoned monsters (mad mages plus one deep gnome)?

    Hey, curiosity killed the cat ;)

    OF COURSE I went through to the end... was wondering if they'd manage to put a dragon or something into the tiny room :D

    Heh! That's exactly what I was thinking as I kept turning the pages... "You know curiosity killed the cat; It's probably gonna kill you too, now cut it out..." But I just couldn't stop; I had to see where this was going! :)

    I enjoyed that summoning book! By this time in the game I usually have 1 character turn the pages of the book and fight the monster(s) that appears after each turn of the page. I see the 'spoil' info in the above post about the Underdark but I actually found these design 'type' additions to the game to be very creative and very enjoyable. Also the first time thru BG2 my party went from the Assylum straight to the Underdark and dealt with that aforementioned 'device' which added intense suspense to the game. Whew! The Underdark... it's my favorite place in the game but also the most formidable enemies are found there! -my opinion.

    [​IMG] Ooops, sorry, Blackthorne about the little spoiler. I got confused. Thought the thing came before the book. Pretend you didn't read that?

    [​IMG] Hey no problem Ganz, not a major spoiler anyway!

    I mainly just didn't want a bunch of follow ups about the Underdark in this thread since I have yet to experience it myself...
