Balrog, hope this helps, here is a good tactic (I think) to do the room:
Keep all your party in the stairs, as back as you can, while with your character you go and have the small conversation with the liche. Then run back, and cast with your mage(s) breach, pierce magic and these things while your fighters beat him. With luck, the others wont see you so when you finish killing him you can save. Then go slowly to the room and take the vampire back so you can kill him. Then your next objective should be the other female mage (she is a lich ??) then the beholder and last the stupid thief. The last 3 (mage, beholder and thhief) could be taken at the time, cause when i did it the mage hadnt any protections and could be killed with magic if done quickly, while your fighters attack the beholder. Oh, and as you guess, dont cast from flesh to stone, disintegrate or such things on the mage cause you will lose the staff (and DAMN, that would be a really SUCKING thing thing to do )
LUCK !!! (sure you will need it)
