Cursed scroll of monster summoning

When I activated this scroll I was hoping to be attacked by a formidable enemy, for example a demon knight (ok so not that powerful but you get my point), but instead was presented with some crappy war dogs. Does anyone remember the quest on planescape torment when you have to find a way of dealing with the box which contained a horrible demon? Well I was thinking it'd be cool to modify this scroll so that a ferocious demon appears with an exp incentive to make it more of a challenge.

    It's a cursed scroll, not a quest. I think war dogs are appropriate.

    I bought it from the magic shop in the first area of baldur's gate city, he was selling a load of unidentified scrolls on the cheap

    @ajws It is scrl14.itm. Lucky Aello or whatever his name was sells them. He is also the guy who sells the cursed quarterstaff of barkskin. There is one in a house in Gullykin too (scroll that is).

    I would assume that the summon would attack you. I guess instead it's just weaksauce. I wouldn't expect it to be a powerful enemy.

    I have to kind of say that it is probably appropriate. War dogs will munch lower levels. And so not to make it unusually difficult or turn it into a "Quest", I think that a mid-level monster makes sense 'To Me'.

    I could definitely see someone writing a quest on such an item though. Not maybe something that you bought at a market, but maybe something that you find deep at the bottom of a dungeon? Make it kind of like the cursed dagger where you have the choice of either fulfilling the quest proper or just killing the antagonist. Kind of like the Djinni in Irenicus' dungeon. That might be cool.

    @ajwz The list? Oh, before you do that you should know that it isn't a new item at all. It is just a very rare and often missed item from the original. I don't think it should be on your list of new items if that is what you were talking about.

    Mod it so that it gives you a couple of cans of Monster Energy Drink with a description that is similar to a haste + power potion. And then when you use those, you fall asleep, since they are cursed.

    When I used it I got 2 dread wolves two times and war dogs once. For some reason I didn't receive any XP with the war dogs but I got the normal XP with the dread wolves. I was also hoping for a demon or something extra cool.
