tactics killing those twisted ruin guys to get staff of mage

Heres how i beat them when i went solo with my fighter/mage/thief which u could of read from my last post which is only a little way down the forums page. I made shangalar appear on the table in the centre and ran out of his view before he said anything. I then cast 2 fog of death spells to get him down to near death. Then I cast 7th level spell turning and run out so he would speak to me. As soon as he teleported near the entrance I hit him with the ring of the ram and he panicked and run off and got killed in the fog of death that was still active. As I hit shangalar with the ring of the ram his beholder friend was casting away, no problem his spells came right back at him. He ended up being petrified by his own spell (Haha!). Luckily his eye survived so I could get of there! It didnt take much more to kill the other 3 but that vampire was a little tough (stupid level drain....) so cast negative plan protection etc.

death fog doesnt get to the tabble

but killed them

My way was very tactical, Yoshi put a lots of special traps near table without making the lich appear. AND others to were he is teleporting. MAny Many traps. Korgan with pro negative plan moved to were the vampyr apear. Me (figh mage) and jaheira and Viconia to were that Damn Mage with MY Staff apear. Yoshi and Edwin standing were the lich will apear after the speech. Of course, all of them had haste on. Jaheira cast Insect plague to the mage And me Breach and Vic sommon skeleton for the beholder. After I kelled the Bich, I take the staff, ID it and smash the beholder. While my clerics and korgan run to kill the backstab thief and the lich if not already dead by yoshi's traps.

It is very tactical but I have the staff very early in the game. All at
level 9-10 max.
