As the battle raged on, the others were still stuck in the cosmic void. Kriv, Reef, Garo, Timmels, and Kerigor were struggling while independently lost. Reef took some time and surveyed the area to find his way to the staircase and moved stealthily past the tentacles. Kriv was also able to locate the staircase but he pushed and broke through the tentacles. Timmels and Kerigor were not so lucky. Timmels searched and searched and while able to get closer to the stairs, he was not able to get there in time. He transformed from a tiny pixie into a fat human with ugly bug wings. Kerigor tried and tried to pray to his god to escape the void. Unfortunately, the gods are unable to hear anything from the chaos realm so he alsobecame corrupted with his horns turning into bunny ears and his arms and legs looking like they had been squashed. Garo found his way back to the door to join Kriv and Reef. Kriv, Garo, and Reef were lucky enough to return to the battle in a timely manner.
As they returned, 3 of the destroyed wretches were replaced by new ones out of the cosmic disturbance of the new people reaching the room which also sucked out Kabuteri and Kaida. The magic voids shifted into many new forms such as alien brain matter that lashed out at anyone near and diminsonal holes that would drop people from the ceiling along with long reaching portals that allowed others to touch anyone in the room. The beholder shot lasers from its eyes causing all kinds of detrimental effects and massive damage to whoever it targeted. Berrian shot fire from the sky, Orin, Kriv and Garo pounded the eye with their weapons, and Reef shot the eye with arrows but the beholder seemed like it would live forever. Berrian at one point was knocked out completely from one of the beams. Orin and Kriv both tried to help him, only for another laser to take him down. The wretches began teleport when it would seem they would be hit, making it extremely hard to kill them. Orin at one point was struck blind, deaf, and immobilized all at once. Reef became dominated by the beholder and shot Orin and Kriv in the back. Eventually, Timmels found his way into the room got to slam and bite the beholder. Garo was shot into petrifaction of stone and became frozen as he tried to swing. Orin was growing weak and as the beholder began to shoot another blast into him, Kriv jumped in to take the damage and swung with all his might. On the swing, the beholders eye shut and the wretches disappeared. Barely able to move, the party let out a sigh of relief.
