Hunter takes a chance, trusting her own magical power over the mundane crossbow she keeps as a last resort. Perhaps the beholder isn't looking at her, or perhaps the wizard is just far enough away. She'll find out soon enough.

With their foes in the air, out of reach, Mai'ngor is at a bit of a loss. His meager magic is spent, and he finds his limbs will not quicken for the war dance. But a he can do is fight and hope to die a good death. He takes two javelins, draws it back, and hurls them one after the other at the beholder and the minion.

Peering down at his hand crossbow, Sarith sighs, but fires it at the minion anyway. His aim is off, though, and it goes sailing through the air to disappear in the darkness.
Hunter casts her spell and a cold hand grabs for Shedrak, but a magical force interferes with her attack.
Elayna holds up a hand and summons a small bolt of fire, sending it at Shedrak before running to hide. He attack hits the wizard (21 vs AC. Damage: 5 fire)
Mai'ngor hurls a couple javelins, but both miss their mark.
Melpomene disappears from view as the spell takes effect.
Xeliss finds that her spell doesn't do anything at all, as the beholder is not a natural beast.

Mai'ngor grunts as the wave of cold washes over him. He feels his flesh wasting away under the beholder's withering gaze. The tikbalang digs deep, and whispers a desperate prayer to his ancestors as he hurls two more javelins at Karazikar.

Hunter focuses on Shedrak, pushing another spectral hand to try and clutch at the wizard's throat. She moves along the chasm, trying to spread the party out as well as see if there are exits to other tunnels besides the dead-end.
