I'm currently playing SSI's Curse of the Azure Bonds (2nd game in their Gold Box series) from the Gamefest CD-ROM compilation, and am exploring some of the optional areas on the overland map (in between defeating Dracandros at Hap and visiting the Moander cultists at Yulash). I've entered the caverns beneath Oxam's tower just outside Dagger Falls, and have discovered a monster convention down there, hosted by the Mulmaster Beholder Corps. I haven't yet reached the Beholder Corps itself yet; however, I found out the hard way that a single beholder was manning (errr . . . "monstering"?) the "registration desk" at the monster convention -- and the beholder promptly disintegrated one of my party members. Fortunately, I saved just before entering the convention area (so my characters could cast protective spells on the party before entering) -- but should I just hold off on breaking up this convention for now? I do still have the Dust of Disappearance, but perhaps my characters aren't yet experienced enough to survive beholders. Help, please! 😅
