Hunter looks at the pool. "Does this lead somewhere? Or do we drown trying?"

Melpomene peers down into the water, looking for a bottom...or something living within.

Peering into the water, you can see that it's about 10 feet deep, but you can't see that it leads anywhere in particular.

"At least we won't die thirsty," Hunter deadpans. "I'll spread out, away from Mai'ngor. It probably knows that I use magic, so it will try to limit my usefulness. While it's focused on me, that ought to leave the rest of you able to cast some spells upon it, and Mai'ngor's Light-saber ought to still be effective."
Hunter stands opposite of Mai'ngor, keeping to the flank of the entrance. She loads her crossbow for when the beholder's suppressive gaze falls upon her.

Hunter considers the question. "If we live, we'll need that central eye, so avoid that. All the other eyes are fair game, I figure."

You wait at the end of the tunnel for some time and nothing happens. After almost two hours of tense waiting, the ground beneath your feet begins to shake and dust falls from the ceiling. What do you do?

"Well, here we go," Hunter says, accepting the inevitable. "I somehow doubt that thing is going to float through the doorway, but the question then becomes, is it coming from above, below, or the side?"
She pulls the hood of her piwafwi over her head, and tries to press against the cavern wall.

As you discuss your options, the chamber you're in shakes even more. A few minor cracks appear in the ceiling and you get the feeling that the room is going to collapse rather soon.

"I guess that settles it," says Hunter. She starts for the tunnel to try and escape the cave-in.
Apr 9, 2019 3:59 am
"I guess I can flight, harass it from another direction? Maybe that will help distract? Or I can see where that pool leads, if anywhere."

Does shifting count as magic? Would I drop form if the eye looked at me?Apr 9, 2019 2:16 pm
Racing down the tunnel, it keeps shaking worse and worse. Rubble falls from the ceiling, clouds of dust and debris choking you as you race toward where you know the beholder must be. You finally emerge from the cave at the bottom of the chasm. About 60 feet from you, floating twenty feet in the air are the beholder and his wizard minion with the eyes tattooed all over his head. What do you do?
OOC:
According to the lead designer of 5e, you'd lose the shapeshift form while the beholder is looking at you. Once it looks away, you'd take your animal form.Apr 9, 2019 5:12 pm
Hunter looks for somewhere to run. She sends a crossbow bolt flying towards the wizard as she moves.

Hunter catches the flying wizard by surprise as her bolt grazes his arm. Blood pours out of the wound and soaks his robe sleeve. You all scatter, hoping that doing so will split the focus of the deadly monster and his minion.
