The heroes (Rhanée with Emrys, Zauloman, Kymmera, Locke, Vanity, Redwolf, Allysana, Tolinar, Draegar, and Tolus) are joined by the Brown Witch's apprentice, Adam, and his basset hound familiar, Bertha, as well as the fighter, BeeDee. Rhanée uses her magical mirror to transport the group back to the orcish village from where they continue scouting the valley.
A couple hours later, the group comes upon a pair of huge, wooden ogre outposts towering some 50' above the forest and controlling a natural choke-point in the valley. The group cannot see if there is anything at the top, but they assume so and search to the west, looking for a way around. After another couple hours, the group encounters five 6' diameter spherical creatures, some version of beholders!
These creatures unleash a variety of magical attacks on the party, including gouts of flame, bolts of mystical energy, walls of ice, and necromantic beams. In the end, the heroes vanquish all five, but Grendel, Zauloman, and Draegar are all temporarily drain and nearly everyone hurt. The group heads back to the beholder lair to rest but as darkness falls, the elves spy a group of orcs moving their way. The heroes try to ambush the orcs and the elves pick off many, but the humans are vulnerable in the darkness and the battle is close. In the end, the heroes vanquish the orcs and recapture the five orcish children. Unfortunately, the group is far too wounded to continue, so Rhanée teleports back to Amberwood with Kymmera to open the mirror. The plan is to pick up the party from the beholder lair, but the mirror never opens.
Rhanée did warn the group that this magic is not a guarantee...!
