    At the end, with the cowled wizartds around the table, why do they have the skull symbol on their table? Are they children of bhaal as well? And what, exactly does a grinning skull mean? I thought it was the symbol of Bhaal or something.

    PS, Woohoo! Changed me name! I am no longer named after a guinea pig, but a juvenile naive young paladin in the service of Lathander!

    Miniwoo, your new name is bad. I loved the first one.

    Btw, I think you should post that question in ToB forum - there was a recent speculation about those seven here but noone had the true info.

    I believe the grinning skull is a symbol for god of murder, or bhaal. You see it in the bhaal temple in bg, and in the intro to SoA. You see it connected with bhaal in quite a lot places.

    I dont think they're cowled wizards, I think they're a cult who knows how to resurrect bhaal, but that requires the death of the children to fuel Bhaal's rebirth

    Having played through ToB now I dont think they have any connection at all to the plot. I believe Bioware made the movie before they decided how the series was to end, although i believe they were intended to be other powerful Bhallspawn. Start this topic on the ToB boards I can elaborate, for now im in fear of the dragons if I post more ToB spoilers than I already have. :D

    I previously speculated that it shows pointers to BG2: Dark Alliance.

    Seems to me that I was right.
