Funny you should post this as I also just completed this in chapter 2 just last night. My strategy was a little different than yours. I read some advice recently saying to take out the vampire first cuz of the 4 level drains and someone else next etc and I tried that a few times with limited success. Then I decided to go back to my initial strategy to take out the main bad guy first (shangalar is his name?) anyways he went down in 1 run with this strategy so I was pretty amazed.
I buffed up of course and summoned 2 elementals,2 aerial servants and an invisible stalker.
I sent in someone to trigger him and when he teleported ran back in the room. I had my kensai/mage with the daystar trigger its sunray effect and at the same time I had anomen cast sunray. This coupled with the couple of melfs minute meteor shots my mages got off on him before his defenses were up killed him on that first round(I was using sunray to take out the vampire and when I saw shangalar damaged by it it occured to me that he must be a lich). Now my buffed party and group of 5 summoned creatures stormed the room. Shield of balduran like the poster said works awesome on the beholder and I sent alot of my elementals at the vamp to avoid the level drains on my chars. Then I proceded to take out the other mage since she is pretty damn nasty herself. Not so hard when you can take here without worrying about the beholder or shangalar.
pretty simply really 2 sunrays was the key for me. The other guys are not so hard really.
