It was the type of fight that was supposed to get them to run away and fight another day. Run they did, but not quickly enough. The beholder knocked one of the characters out with a sleep ray and cornered the other one. That character then had to somehow talk her way out of the situation.As it so happens, the party had acquired the deck of many things recently. Through some excellent role-playing, she managed to convince the beholder to draw from the deck (through telekinese, as beholders have no arms). The beholder chose to draw only one card, and the players were keeping their fingers crossed that it wouldn't end up giving him three wishes or something like that.Turns out, the beholder drew the Abyss. He got three words out before his soul was ripped from his body and he dropped.After the adventure, the party then buried the deck of many things so they would never be tempted to draw from it.</blockquote>
