Defnitely the best advice so far, and that's what i was originally leaning to as well. I was just worried that the players might find it absurd to have Xazax the Eyemonger be duped by an eyeball from his own lair.Either way, i really didn't want a total TPK and didnt know how else to stop them from getting their ass kicked without some sort of "Get out of Jail" card.... I just seemed like a stretch of the imagination, and i didnt know what else Xazax would really want. The group fought him once before and almost TPKed, but he let them go, demanding that they return with the eyestalks from a friendly beholder they knew. To let the players go a second time was hard for me to allow, unless they had some even small remote chance of appeasing him (like a random eye from his lair, along with a good roll of the deception dice!)Either way, i do plan on having Xazax come back as a recurring villian later when they level up. If your familiar with out of the Abyss, he will be the beholder (Karazikar) looking for the (one-eyed) monodrone in the chapter 13 The Wormwrithings of Out of the Abyss. After all, Xazax is "the Eyemonger"!</blockquote>
