Right then, I'm in Spellhold / Asylum, and I got to the portal north of the
statue room that when activated produces various demons. I activated a pit
fiend, but at the same time I noticed some genie come through saying
something like, "well done Minsc, " blah, blah, blah. As I was busy with
the pit fiend, I cracked on and killed it. Genie disappeared and the portal
was no longer usable. Did I miss out on the genie that grants you a wish
(as heard on this group) ? Is it a big miss if I did - ie. is it worth
going back to a save ? MTIA !
The portal is activated by 3 special gems. Click on it once to use one of
the gems (you probably clicked twice in a row). Two of the gems yield
disaster (wolfwere and pit fiend), and one yields the genie which will give
you a nice magical item. For me it's a nice magical plate, but some said
they got a nice magical weapon.

Doomplate +3 for me, but it's no better than a full plate +1.

Also Doomplate +3 for me - have never heard of anything else.
But the first couple of times, I only fought the pit fiend - and not the
wolfwere.
Guess you don't have to fight them both to get the plate.

Yes, you don't need to fight at all... just use the right gem to summon the
genie from the portal (drop the other two). Should be the one found in the
room with kobolds (or some other insignificant foes).
