Perhaps summon some monsters to engage the bad guys in melee. This may seem like a cheesy tactic but it works.

Yep, that worked just fine for me. If you consider it cheesy, what about this: To "roleplay" the scene, your spellcasters are effectively made redundant without any means of disabling the antimagic ray. The beholder can only be hit by missile weapons, which will take quite a while to get him down (if you're lucky!). In the meantime, your defenseless spellcasters have been killed by one of the hellhounds, trolls, effreet, or flamewalkers that simply walked around your fighters.
I think you could easily play through the entire game without pure spellcasters in your party, eh???
