Try putting Negative plane protection on the person who squares off against the vampire. that should solve the level drain problem

Try putting spike growth or some area effect spell that does damage for a few rounds near the mage .. that might disrupt her spell casting a bit.

Potions of magic blocking and magic shielding can help as well.

Try buffing up more with Protection from evil 10', Bless, Courage, etc.

Also, try staying back in the first alcove and let the bad guys come to you. You can buy another round or two of spells since they can't cast while moving.

You could also equip your best fighter with the shield of balduran and have that character go toe to toe with the Beholder. The reflected spells can actually affect not only the Beholder but other members of the evil group. Shied of Balduran is available from one of the two special merchants on the special edition cds.

Hope these help out.
