Re: OOC
Okay, I think we need to take a moment to talk tactics. GM, cover your ears. ;)
Right now it looks like we're down to at-wills, we're facing a tough Artillery monster who has the range, and Harald and Gromley are way out of position.
I suggest that we drop M ASAP, which seems like it should happen this round, and regroup around the doors. We need to take cover, form up a little bit, and then we can focus on the Beholder and hopefully pummel it down quickly.
The alternatives are we attack it where it, but only Agon, GTBW, and Nemeroff can attack this round (and then not even all of them). It looks like it'll take about 2 rounds for Harald and Gromley to make it to the party.
Alternatively, we fall back into the big room (#13 on the map) and fight there. The risk of disengaging is that the Beholder decides to flee and we have to deal with it behind us. I think this risk is worth getting a few of us cut off and cut-up down at the far end of the corridor.
I'll make an IC post to this effect later this evening, but just wanted to check with you guys first.
