Description: Well I thought this would be a unique and fun piece for the PCs to watch. Basically Cornelius dropped off 2 Death Tyrants (previously summoned) with the main villians of this adventure. The small army consists of 4 adventurers and 4 fighter henchman (2nd Level). I get bored sometimes and like to play AD&D by myself, but anyway here is how the story is viewed.

The battle begins with adventurers winning the inititive.

Cleric: Begins to fall back letting the warriors step, while he removes a uniquely crafted bowl that hangs over his shoulder.

Mage: While retreating with the Cleric he casts Magic Missiles towards one of the horrifying creatures. The missiles disolve in thin air as they rush towards the beholders (no effect).

Fighter: Rushes over to retrieve his spear and successfully does so.

Rogue: Holds back slightly letting the warriors rush in.

Warriors: These four men rush in and separate breaking off into two's to effectively battle the 2 Tyrants.

Warriors (A): Both these warriors nail this Death Tyrant (A) in the center eye causing a total of 11pts of damage with their wooden swords.

Tyrant (A): Uses one of his eyestalks to cause "Flesh to Stone" on one of the (A) fighters while he bites the other for 3 pts. of damage.
