Why they are killing you so fast is that Mind Flayers drain your intelligence with each hit, usually about 5 intelligence each time. This can add up quickly! Although the effects are not permanent, if your intelligence ever drops below 1, then you are killed. I would suggest using people with high armor classes to stand in front while having as many archers or ranged weapon party members attack from behind. Be aware that they are heavily magic resistant, so mages are almost useless as a frontal assault. Be sure to let your intelligence regrow before attacking a new group! Good luck,
