Those creatures with many eyes are either gauths or beholders, it might be a good idea (if you do not have items such as Shield of Baldrun, or Cloak of Mirror, just to name a couple) to have your party hang back on the other side of the bridge while sending fire elementals to do your dirty work. Generally speaking, fire elementals are pretty tough when pit against beholders and their kin, cast 2 to 3 fire elementals and let them get to work. If you have wand of cloudkill, it might also work. But be careful if you are using area effect spells while your summoned creatures are in the area, if the fire elementals get damage from you, they will attack you instead. If you have beholder/magic reflecting items like the two mentioned above, you can charge at them and fight close range without having to worry too much.

not bad, it is 3:32am here, but I went to bed at 5:00 pm, and I got up at 2:00, so it is likely I am going to stay up a while

Heh.....lucky you!

Just a couple more pages on my readings, then I am turning in.

Hey Obi-Wan - raise undead would also work if you have high level clerics... but as usual, Accord is on the money with sending minions in - after all, those beholders and such do serious damage.

You can send a tank if he is hasted, perhaps. Depending on your party... another thought would be a few fireballs in the vicinity.

Good luck!

You can always skip this battle by casting invisibility on your party and walking past. That's what I did last time. Eight reloads and I gave up.
