Gaze of the Eye Tyrant
You use improved spider climb to sneak up to the ceiling, hoping that the party’s plan to have Dorengar drop onto the beholder’s head will work as well as the dwarf and the assassin think it will. Holding your breath in suspense, you watch as the fighter leaps out into the air, his weapon drawn. But before Dorengar can reach the eye tyrant, his descent begins to slow, as does his ax. You then see one of the eye stalks twitch; the magic-user is suddenly jerked from her perch, flying towards the floating beholder. A second stalk flickers, and you are momentarily blinded by a brilliant light. The magic-user explodes, pieces of her clothing flying everywhere.
You and the rest of the party spread out and quickly move back down the cave wall. Another eye stalk moves, and the paladin and the ranger drop their swords and begin pulling off their armor. Dorengar slowly floats down in front of the beholder’s mouth, and you catch a glimpse of the monster’s hideous teeth right before they close on the doughy fighter.
One of the stalks begins to point at you, and before you can duck, it catches your gaze.
The next thing you remember, you are running down the dungeon hall, screaming in terror about an eye tyrant.
