So here I am in the Eye Tyrant tunnels in the Underdark, armed with the Shield of Balduran. I hack n' slash my way thru' all the Beholder kin there. Then, at the SE area of the map I turn the corner and lo! and behold! come face-to-face with an Elder Orb.

No problem, I think to myself. Hefting the Shield of Balduran in one hand and Celestial Fury in the other, I confidently step up to it and start hacking away.

As expected, the Beholder's spells bounce harmlessly off the shield. In the meantime I am kicking its butt (do beholders have butts?). Then in the dialogue box I see the message:

Beholder - casts Imprisonment [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img]

Uh-oh! I pray hard that I'll make the saving throw but nope!

Reload time...

To make things worse I had to restart from near the beginning... sigh!
