*** NOTE: If you are having problems with Jasper re-appearing after he
teleports you, particularly if you have an SOA-only install, try adding more
party members ( pick up Minsc and Jaheira, don't kick out Imoen, etc.) This
appears to be a problem only with games that do not have TOB and we have having
trouble tracking down the source of the bug. ***

V1.7

       			Dungeon-Be-Gone For Baldur’s Gate 2
       			     A Pocket Plane Group Mod
       			   http://www.pocketplane.net

For those times when your new game falters under the weighty trail of
playing... *that* dungeon - again.

To Install:

- Extract DungeonBeGoneV15.exe to any directory, double-click to run it, and
accept the defaults to install to your Baldur's Gate 2 directory. After
processing, a text box should come up prompting you to select a language.

- If you ever need to make changes, run Setup-DungeonBeGone.exe from your main
BGII directory.


What is Dungeon-Be-Gone?:

- A shortcut through Irenicus' Dungeon.  Merely talk to the guide that
appears shortly after your character is released, and you'll have several
options.

- You may still pick up Yoshimo, simply select that option when prompted.
If you'd rather not take him, you have the ability to go straight to the
end of the dungeon.

- Receive 90,000-100,000 XP and 1,200 gold at the end of the dungeon -
estimates on what would be earned for playing through the dungeon, slaying
everything, and doing the mini-quests.

- You can still do the dryad quest - at the end, you will be asked if you'd
like to do the quest, and will be given the acorns.

- Get most of the magic items in the dungeon given to you, including the
Sword of Chaos and the Mail of the Dead.  You also receive ten Extra-
Healing potions, though the excess potions and the first level scrolls are
not included.

- You also get a hopefully entertaining NPC guide to take you through, and
he even has voicing.  (Why? Because we can.)

Take Note:

- This MOD is rather silly, and also skips all the story elements and such
just to get you to the end faster.  This is aimed for those who have
played the game so many times that Irenicus' dungeon has become more
painful than a root canal, and less interesting than a Valygar coffee mug.
If silliness and/or 'cheating' offends you, then looks like you'll just be
wresting long bows from goblins for a while.

- The XP and gold amounts are not precise, and depending on you play
through the dungeon, you could get a little more or a little less.  What
this MOD gives are considered the high end of average.

- You get 10,000 XP for helping the dryads, hence the variance.

- If you want to play through the dungeon yourself, you can tell Jasper to
just go away.  Don't tell him you don't need his help unless you really
mean it, though! He can be told to wait without consequence, however.

- If you have installed a mod that adds new content to the Irenicus
dungeon (such as Improved Ilyich or the Imoen Romance), you will skip it
using this mod. This should be obvious, but we were asked to point it
out.

- This is not the RIDE mod. This is my own project, which has nothing to
do with RIDE except the same goal: to get you out of Chateau Irenicus in a
flash.
