All in the beholders mouth

Overview

The party runs across a beholder eating a humanoid.

Trigger

The party is passing by (or through) a dark alley.

Description

About 20' in front of you you notice a large spherical orb floating over the remains of a man. Sticking out of the orb you see what appears to be a arm, attached to the top of the orb are several tenticals pointing about in different directions. To the right of the half eaten body you see another body (possibly female) lying face down. As you stop to look and the grewsome picture it stops chewing and turns a large pick eye towards you...

Dm notes

The beholder is actually a scout beholder that has been scouting the local city, to prepare for a takeover. The beholder will attack on sight, and will try to eliminate any witnesses. If has to escape it will float off, and when out of sight will polymoprh into a small human child. It will then follow the party and attack them when they are uprepared.

Key

If the party does not kill the beholder, and it is too much for the beholder to handle, then it will send for others. Who will stalk the party and city!
