The heroes (Yavin, Katya, Hamish, Gilean, Moonleaf, Remort, and Twyll) rest, recover, heal, and meet new people. Idky tried to teach the cantrip, bullet blink, to the rest of the party, but accidentally tears one of the crystal shards in Hamish out of him and lodges it in Gilean! A second attempt does work and everyone masters the variation. Kinsa uses her spells to save the others. Idky and Maedhros elect to remain behind and tend to the wynkin. One of the little mouse-folk, however, asks Katya to join the group and the party welcomes Dormius. Also joining the group is Qumansi, a centaur-like lizard creature. After a nap to restore health and spells, the party uses Yavin's lighten load, levitate, and fly spells as well as the help of two of the giant swans to fly back to the second mountain in order to kill the telepathic lead-beholder.
At the other mountain, the heroes find everything quiet and elect to enter via one of the tunnels that the wynkin cannot access, using Dormius' knowledge to good effect. The group enters through one twisting shaft and hits pay-dirt! The party makes very quick work of the four carrion crawler-like mounts of the directors. Dormius even locates some golden nuggets in the chamber.
They descend another tunnel deeper into the mountain where the heroes come upon a large, abandoned, cigar-shaped chamber. None of the exits appears to lead the right way, but the heroes again (luckily) choose the one that goes up and quickly encounter more foes. In the chamber above is a strange, stalactite-like creature with gem-like bulbs on the roof plus two mounted directors! Hamish charges one director and nearly kills its mount. Katya uses an acid bolt on the other, equally catching both creatures! Sensing its powerful mind, Gilean attacks the stalactite creature, which is truly the overseer! Yavin uses his levitation to bring everyone up the shaft while Moonleaf faerie fires all the enemies!
The creatures' counter-attack is brutal. Many of the overseer's eye beams do nothing, but one unleashes a chain lightning at Yavin that the cleric largely dodges but which seriously wounds Katya and Moonleaf before grounding out against the overseer. The beholderkin then puts Katya in temporal stasis, luckily saving her from the freezing cold of cold ray that hits Moonleaf. And telekinetically, the creature tosses Remort back down the shaft onto the sharpened rocks below! Hamish shrugs off the director's two magic missiles plus the things two claws and its mounts eight tentacles!
Yavin manages to bring the rest of the heroes up into the room as Katya's acid causes one director to melt. Hamish slaughters the other director's mount and starts in on the creature itself. Gilean hammers at the oversser as Dormius nails it with a crossbow bolt and Moonleaf raises an obscurement. The druidess' spell proves very helpful, preventing the beholderkin from getting a good bead on the party members! Yavin manages to partially mind stun the overseer after it telekinetically tosses Gilean after Remort. In the misty confusion, the riderless carrion crawler attacks the wrong creature and paralyzes the overseer! The creature then reacts with rays in all directions, accidentally freeing Katya before Yavin kills it. Hamish finishes off the last director and then fetches the downed psis while Yavin dispel magics most of the effects, including the suggestion to submit on Dormius and the paralysis on Qumansi.
