Nod, happened to me as well the first time I was there... since I didn't know how to kill the monster in the temple I ran up to Gaal again and chopped him to pieces, causing a beholder to emerge. I thought it was the God, but he was way easier than the real Unseeing Eye. Then I ran back to the temple, but this time both the monster and the Avatar was there. The Avatar wanted me to kill the God (?) but it was impossible to go down into the pit in the Cultists lair.
Seems it's rather easy to mess up in this quest. Last time I finally did the things in the right order, but that damn rod disappeared after I blast the God with it. Had to get it back with ShadowKeeper to finish the quest. I had a rather dramatic fight with the God too. He has some rather nasty spells like PowerWord Kill which he's awfully fast with. When I finally got him I first blasted him with the rod, getting him to near death. He then stunned my main char and I saw how swirls of the next spell began to soar around him. Frantically I searched for a quick spell or someone near him to finish him off, but noone was close enough since my char was stunned and Mazzy was out of ammo. Minsc had one (1) acid arrow left though, so he tossed it over to Maz, who shot her single arrow straight in the Beholders unseeing eye, killing him even as the battlemessage said "Beholder: Cast Power Word Kill."
Now thats some drama for ya.
