has anyone here ever encountered a beholder, 2 gauths and a otygh in the sewers in the temple district?

I ran into these monsters in the sewers near Rogers sea troll (I was on my way to kill the sea troll)

It's the first time ever I've encountered anything like this..

i've heard about it - random monster spawns are based on your party level so if you went there later in the game . . .

there's even an 'always toughest random monsters' mod if you enjoyed it ;)

aah, okay, that makes sense [img]smile.gif[/img]

maybe i'll get that mod, those monster were a pleasant surprise ;)

Something similar happened to me... only it was two (maybe three, I don't recall) beholders that actually Dimension Doored in. I found it rather odd.

Very strange...maybe some mod you installed, or maybe a quest we didn't know about?

No, that happens even in the original game, but very rarely. I was once going through there and found an Otyugh in that spot, and a party member happened to blunder southwestward and wake up the Sea Troll as well. And then, much to my surprise, a Beholder and 2 Gauths DD'd in. I was so shocked I took a screenshot.

""Always Toughest Random Spawns" -- Jonathan Ellis bugfixes. Many encounters (like beholders in the temple sewers) that only happened in chapter 6 now correctly (for this component) happen all the time. Also notable: you'll always get the bone golem in the tanner basement. In addition, all "AI changes" (which were actually very minor, and were all checks to NumInPartyLT and DifficultyLT, etc.) have been removed." - Tactics Readme, v18 changes

Like Six said, these Chapter 6 encounters happen in the unmodded game as well, but since v18 (a fairly recent version) now always happen regardless of party composition and level.
