    Maybe for some time. I have been thinking lately about why none of the other NPC's came after you after you disappeared. Although it does seem like most the NPC's you meet again in 2 were unaware of what happened and were busy going about their own business.

    @Arcanis Besides, after what happened to them during the Time of Troubles, I seriously doubt many good aligned gods would intervene into CHARNAME's affairs, it suggests they are trying to steer him/her down a path they want him to take, and the reason why Ao made most of the gods mortal during the Time of Troubles is to teach them the folly of habitually pursuing power for personal gain.

    @BladeDancer Doesn't Cyric say, that Ao forbid the gods from intervening (directly) in ToB?

    Well, after the Time of Troubles, there power was completly dependent on the ammount of believers, so
    I have to say that this decision would increase their interest in the Bhaalspawn..
    He is influental, his adventuring party gets more and more powerful with each passing day and he MAY
    become a god himself.
    Hell, you meet Elminster every 5 minutes in part 1 and a couple of times in part 2 (if memory serves).
    He is a man that prefers to stay out of conflict so I always assumed he was there because Mystra is
    interested in this whole affair..
    (Which is also a good excuse for Neera to be their.. Mystra used WM to get her close to the Bhaalspawn,
    kinda like a helping hand -since Elminster can't get too involved or his enemys would target you.. and
    it would be an too obvious interest of Mystra there.)


    EDIT:
    Ok that's it.. before I derail this threat further I will just go over there and start a thread about reasoning
    for NPC's/Gods/Fractions involvment.
    It is a bit of topic here ^^'

    @Arcanis You're right, we are getting off topic

    I've seen a lot of speculation so far on this thread, but what do we know for sure so far? I don't want to get my hopes up by imagining this game as one thing and then getting something completely different

    @AstroBryGuy Is . . . Is that gazebo . . . ALIVE??? :cold_sweat:

    I feel like an idiot for asking this, but is that a legit screenshot from Adventure Y? It looks like BGEE based on the sidebars.

    Adventure Y's secret mission revealed. Stop an invading army of Gazebo's from taking control of Baldur's Gate.

    Gods I hope the gazebo is just a joke and not actually in the game, lol. Talk about immersion-breaking. XD

    It could be undead... :wink:

    It's also apparently immune to whatever weapons Abdel and Persephone were using. I think they need the Hammer of Home Improvement +5 to hurt it.
    I'll buy Adventure Y just for that if it's actually in the game. Due to the fact that one of the companions (Halen?) has 6 HP total, I'd say that it's not actually from the game that is supposed to take place after Sarevok's death. That would make even less sense than an undead gazebo that's immune to most damage!

    Why would it be immersion-breaking? Animate Objects is a 6th level priest spell in AD&D. Perhaps the gazebo was animated by a high-level priest. :wink:

    http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/animateObjects.htm (the spell is in 2E too, but the 3E SRD is easier to link)
    Oh, really? Lol, I'm new, so I wasn't aware of that XD

    Aghh, I can't remember off the top of my head, but there was definitely some kind of animate structure that was actually a monster in one of the older rulesets (I remember reading about it on the list of stupid DnD monsters). I would love if this were real and "murderous gazebo doppelganger" was a new encounter!
