cambion, and i think that the deck does different stuff the second time if you get good or bad the first time, but i dont know if it changes in relevance to what he had lol. im betting there is a detailed page just on this somewhere out there, anybody care to help? im sure i won't be the only one benefitting from this lol..thanks alot ;) really, any page or resource with detailed deck info, thx again [img]smile.gif[/img]

OK, did a little search and came up with this:

Be warned that there is a spoiler in there. And if you want, you can just kill the cambion...you get XP for that and still get the gem for the scepter/deck of many things. Beware of the deck, it has good/bad outcomes. Some of them give a nice XP boost, ahem, very nice XP boost ;) .

wow thx dude... lucky me the only other person online at this time was able to answer my question [img]smile.gif[/img] now off to the link

If you kill Aesgerath (sp?), do you get the Spectral B.?

No. You have to play for it.

Oh. Darn. My Fighter/Mage is using Axes and Long Swords, though, so it doesn't really matter...I have way too much gp, anyway.

I've never actually tried the spectral brand b4...is it any good after the upgrade? I know it goes to +5, but I don't remember what it does/if it's any good

It's a very good sword, and it works sort of like Ras; you can summon a dancing blade. It also has another nice modifier, but I don't recall what it was.

It always puzzles me why people decline to gamble for the items, then PP the Cambion for the DoMT before the final gamble and get more XP for being a nice rational guy. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yup [img]smile.gif[/img] The sword is worth the gamble alone. Anyway, if you lose a certain item, it's still win-win.
