I am in the beholder maze and am having a ell of a time with these silly creatures. By the time I get close enough with my fighters, my fighters are all in very, very bad shape. I try to summon some monsters and use a few area effect/affect(?) spells but it seems I have the same result-dead party.
Anyhow, what are good protectant spells I should be casting on my fighters so they can get close to these creatures? or... should I just stand back and use ranged weapons and not try to melee with them? I can beat one or two but any more equals certain death.
