Ah yes, well you have plenty of sympathy from me - that area is an absolute nightmare and really really tough. Don't judge your party too large because they die here.
There's a nifty shield you can pick up (bit late for you now!) that reflects their nasty rays back (shield of balduran?)
Also the Cloak of Mirroring will probably do the job.
Your best bet is to group your party at the entrance and send one buffed character ahead. Either take a few invisibility potions and sneak up on your target or try and get your magic resistance high and perhaps try protections like Spell Trap and Spell Turning (not sure how well they'll stand up against an anti-magic ray though).
If you're finding it impossible then either drop the difficulty for this area, or go after another race instead. You only need to do one and I've found the lizards to be the easiest by far as it's mostly melee - an unprepared party shouldn't get toasted in there.
