Belchorz the Mighty (Creature)

Belchorz the Mighty is a Beholder who lives in the Tomb of the 9 Gods in a mirrored room. The door to his mirrored tomb was surrounded by a series of 10 slots which were opened with 10 eye-shaped stones that were found by the ground in the 3rd level of the tomb. The eye stones being hidden around the level gave the idea that opening the door would lead to treasure, which was technically true, but in reality also was supposed to lead to the death of the group. This level also had all these eye stalks that watched the group as they moved around the 3rd level and as became evident, they could also do things themselves. Upon entering the mirror room, the group heard the words of Belchorz, declaring himself to be a beholder (well, Inasatra could understand this but no one else could). Belchorz declared his superiority, but Ksargol identified approximately where in the room he was with detect magic and Neve cast faery fire so the group could see where he was located. Belchorz the Mighty managed to turn Devlik, one of the Red Wizard mercenaries, to dust and his eye stalks on the wall petrified the other, Svantia, although later Ksargol revived her. There was a long and drawn out fight, but eventually Belchorz was defeated. Interestingly, he remained invisible even when attacking the group, which seemed unusual as normally attacks would cause him to be visible. After his death, the group recovered a large amount of treasure including a number of interesting magical items.
