Question about statues in the Underark

[TOMekbok]

Are they supposed to shoot other Minotaurs other than the first one?

[Nekrit]

Then why show the example?

"oh look, isn't it cool that you can kill the minotaurs by kiting them to the statues? It would be cool if they did it again, right?"

*proceeds not to do it again*

10/10, truly a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GOTY lmao

Are you for real? It showed you what would happen if YOU get out of the gate this way, therefore giving you a "hint" NOT to get yourself killed. (at least until you figure out how to prevent that)

It's to warn you that they shoot instead of just blasting you to bits the first time you get there.

Its a warning to you that stepping out there will kill you.
I believe it WOULD shoot the others if you can lure them into range, but its a fair distance and tricky to pull off without being shot yourself.
I know it WILL shoot *you* if you are not stealthed
or, you can deactivate it and make SH happy by shooting the top of the interior statue that powers the defense.
if you can get a shot on the mino before the defense kills it, you get kill xp.

it may even be possible, with misty step heavy party, to not only lure the minos into it but also anything else in the immediate vicinity.
the bulette & the drow/eyeball fight are possibly in range with a lot of effort to set it all up.

I literally just kited them in range, and statutes did nothing. Hence my post

Yes, but then why didn't it kill the minotaurs again? Was the first one a different minotaur?
