I think there was a planned quest in BG that was canceled due to time constraints but wasnt completely removed.
In the Baldurs Gate novel Khalid is attacked by slime people and becomes some sort of slime skeleton and Abdul has to put him down. When you talk to random townsfolk in BG one of the rumors they mention is that they've heard of people dissolving into slime before their eyes. I theorize there was sopposed to be a random encounter/quest found on one of the overland maps with slime creatures that infected party members turning them into slimes. This quest was planned during the beginning of BG's programing and was included in part in the novel. While it was dropped from the game it was left in the novel and they forgot to remove that random townsfolk rumor tie in. Thoughts? |

Interesting!
I would never have known that, because I have never read the book. Don't beleive I've ever seen that rumour either, but it would've been cool! [ 06-11-2005, 06:30 PM: Message edited by: Lavindathar ]

You know, I've always wondered about that rumor... I've skimmed the books in bookstores. Didn't read them because I couldn't stand Abdel. But thank you for sharing that; it would have plagued me for ages otherwise.

There are slime people in the sewer below Baldurs Gate. They are called Sewerfolk and are led by a slime called Schlumpscha the Sewer King or something down those lines. It is actually an interesting encounter that offers quite some clues and doesn't have to be resolved in combat. I am not certain what will happen if you encounter them with Khalid in the party. I have never used him for long.

I've run into the sewer slimes every time through. However, I always thought that the slime rumours referred to the bar in the southwest part of the city where the bartender gets turned into a slime.
