A deep hole (Underdark)

[Morgian]

There is a deep hole right next to the mushroom colony. You can get a grumpy voice out of it, but that's it. Has anyone an idea how to get in or the speaker out?

I am curious beause there was a hole in BG 2 in the Underdark, with an angry demon in it.

Its the hole with the brunette in it. It goes silent once you kill it

I am not sure about that, since bulettes cannot speak. But I have no better suggestion either.

I got the voice out of it when I used my barbarian (who has Speak With Animals). After round 2 with the bullette, I went back and yelled in- no response. So maybe it WAS the bullette?

[Morgian]

It has INT 2 and no languages in the monster manual, so it should not, but then there are other things a bit off from the books.
But I killed it by now. I should go back and check.

It is the bulette. I spoke to it with my Speak with Animals character and could hear him speak, then use one without and it was a GROWL! With the facts that it disappears when killed and being the only creature going underground in this section, there is no other possibility,

Yes, no demon as in BG 2 down there :(

I think I would agree with the last poster here.
If you start a conversation with whatever is down there it threatens you, though whether it actually appears I do not yet know. I want to clear up the Mushroom quest first then make a marker save that I can go back to if I feel like getting whatever is there to appear... if it does, who knows.

If I recall correctly, that Demon was a Balor, a Balor, at this level, would wreck the party in no time...

Balor was like level 10 or higher in BG2... the party at this point in Act 1 is maybe level 5-6.

They had 13 HD (120 hp), AC -11, and cast at level 24, but had no level in general like now. They had firestorm and implosion once per day, and at will they could cast symbol of stun/death, domination, telekinesis, teleport w/o error, remove magic and some others. They had a mofified version of vorpal weapons, killing instead of beheading, but allowing a save -4. When dying they exploded for 50 or 100 fire damage.
Respectable enemies back in the day. But magic was way more potent back then as it is now (as was the gear), and it was not quite as much of a challenge as it may seem on paper for a balanced party.
