Ah, "Simyaz" does ring a bell - but you know, I think I met him in (numerous) previous games IN the Underdark... I only met the wild mage once, in Athkatla, and that was when I kept the relevant *item*, which I only did in that one game, so I don't believe he might be the one I'm looking for...
Nevertheless, thanks for that name, because I'd like to CTRL-Q that githyanki anyway and check his stats out while I'm on a CTRL-Q roll
(...MWAHAHAHAHAAA!...)
"Raging Mages" CTRL-Q party:
Elminster
Jon Irenicus
Khelben Blackstaff (I *don't* think it'll work but I'll try it)
...erm... whom have I forgotten now?... *GAH*
and what about Renal's bodyguard with the Varscona secret sword? He was called... damn, I forget...
