The main thing to remember is not to just stand there and get your brains sucked out. Assuming that you can't cast Protection from Magic Weapons yet, try putting something between you and the flayers (read: summons), while you attack them with ranged weapons. They are relatively weak physically. Then again, they'll chew through your summons, so be prepared to throw in more.

Chaotic commands is critical to protect against the psionic attacks. Negative plane protection, AFAIK, does nothing, unless you're dealing with vampiric illithids (you're not).

Bring along a bunch of potions of genius and mind focusing to counteract the intelligence drain.

Good luck.
