A good strategy is to use Time Stop, Improved Alacrity, and Dragon's Breath, as none of them are immune to Time Stop (I think). Dragon's Breath ignores MR so it is very effective vs. Drow and such. Planetars, Elemental Princes, and MK's swords are also very useful. Also, try putting 3 ADHWs into a ninth-level contingency or 3 pierce shields (or lower resistances), and setting it to target the nearest enemy on sight. On the fighter side, Smite and the improved Whirlwind are very effective at keeping enemies away/killing them quickly. Another good idea is to take out the spellcasters first, especially the Drow priestess, as her spells (the bug-swarm one) will stop your spellcasters from functioning (even the Planetar). The Beholder isn't much of a problem if you equip a good fighter with the Shield of Balduran (it can't touch you!).

Also, referring to the previous reply, you can't enter the Pocket Plane in a battle, so you would have to get ALL your party members away from the fighting before you cast.
