if you've got viconia, send her in first as her magic resistance helps a ton versus beholders. if not, spell reflection/turning works well. for the stoning, there's an amulet in Mekrath's lair that gives +3 to petri/poly spells. for the death spells, death ward is a cheap protectant (level 4 spell). and for when you absolutely have to kill something, potions of agility + archers + haste turns most enemies into swiss cheese.
p.s. always concentrate your attacks on one enemy, preferably the most immediately dangerous one, such as elderorb-beholder-gauth.
