The party (Idky, Yavin, Athos, Artec, Katya, Sabrina, Ishmopah, and Kinsa along with Oxomoca) spends some time back in the monks’ room to heal up and have Yavin replenish his psi points. They also discuss a plan of attack for the beholder.
They decide to allow Kinsa’s familiar, Dagaru, fly up to the beholder room and peek around the boulder blocking the entrance to see inside. He reports back there is a 60’ long staircase up to a small landing. The passage beyond the boulder is rectangular with no floor. It has criss-crossing beams at a diagonal. It a 12.5 feet from beam to beam (which are 2’ wide). It is blindingly bright due to five suns and highly polished walls. The pit below is shrouded in darkness. There is an open passageway at the other end.
Idky casts stone shape to create a lip on the staircase, then casts rock to mud under the rock to get the boulder to sink down and out of the way. Artec and Idky lead the way over the boulder and into the passageway. The room is exactly as Dagaru described. They see the five 6-foot diameter “suns” floating above the pit. They blind Idky as he emerges.
Suddenly, all five “suns” turn toward them and open their eyes. One eye invokes telekinesis on Idky to move him a little ways into the room. Artec starts firing arrows at one’s central eye. It explodes, damaging Idky. He also destroys two other gas spores. Idky gets dropped, but he stops himself with air walking. Artec gets affected by cause serious wounds. Idky gets slowly teked down into the pit. Another ray hits Athos, and he screams and starts running away.
Meanwhile, Idky sees zombies at the bottom of the pit, which is covered with broken glass shards. Artec explodes the final gas spore and then hits the beholder. Yavin hits the beholder with mind thrust, which frees Idky from the TK. He airwalks up under the beholder.
Ishmopah tosses Athos out of the way and climbs over the boulder. Oxomoca leaps up and onto one of the beams. Meanwhile, the girls start spreading paint on arrows for Artec. Idky starts attacking the beholder from underneath. Kinsa tackles Athos to prevent him from running too far. Oxomoca moves up and starts attacking. The party notices that she isn’t fighting quite as well as she was in her room. Ishmopah also joins them on the wooden beams.
The zombies try to harpoon Idky and all miss. The beholder floats down and bites Idky, which drops him onto the floor. The zombies now start to attack him. Artec gets hit with a fear ray from the beholder and runs away crying. He also gets charmed. Oxomoca gets disintegrated. Ishmopah get teked to batter Idky. He ends up cracking Idky’s ribs.
The juju zombies swarm Ishmopah and Idky. Idky goes down. Ishmopah fights the zombies. Yavin picks up Artec’s bow, mind thrusts the beholder again, and calls out for arrows. Yavin accidentally shoots the beholder in the central eye. Katiya attempts to put a blanket over the beholder, but it dodges out of the way.
Meanwhile, Athos gets away from Kinsa, and he and Artec run off. Kinsa tries to climb over the boulder to join the fray, but she stumbles. Yavin gets slowed and affected by cause serious wounds. Ishmopah also goes down. Sabrina has been waiting for the beholder to use its powers on Yavin and as it does, she casts magic missiles at the beholder, killing it. Yavin jumps down into the pit to save Ishmopah and Idky from the juju zombies. Kinsa makes it over the boulder.
Yavin gets torn up by the zombies, so he jumps back out of the pit. Kinsa tries to levitate Idky up, but it fails (because he’s a cleric and she’s a witch). Yavin casts invisibility to undead on himself and jumps down to tend Idky and Ishmopah. Meanwhile, the women keep the zombies busy by throwing stuff at them and lighting them on fire. Yavin heals Idky, but the cleric of Fharlanghn can’t airwalk anymore because of beholder disrupted his ioun stones. So Yavin has to levitate his friend out of the pit.
The three women go off to look for the feared party members. They see Athos passed out at the bottom of the stairs. Artec isn’t nearby. They realize that they must have passed through the temporal effect.
Artec recovers from his fear and returns to see Athos on the floor in temporal shock. He sees Katiya up the stairs making very slow-motion gestures at him. He grabs Athos and takes him back up the stairs. To him, it’s been about three hours, but it’s only been 18 minutes for the party. Idky tries to heal Athos, but the spell fails entirely. They cannot go backward anymore.
