There's 2 Rings of Invisibility that aren't especially difficult to find/get: From a Lich, and from a Thief. Use those on your PC and others. Potions of Invisibility for the others that can't be protected. There's always an abundance of Green scrolls, or you could get a Ring of Fire Resistance and use Clerical Spells. Then, if you're about level 13 or so, you should have 6 charges of Sunfire if you're a Sorcerer, or about 3 (taking into account Breach as well) if you're a Mage. Bards can help here as well.

Failing that, protect the PC with Protection from Magical Energy, and go fishing. What I mean by that is first cast Greater Malison, then cast Slow with your backup Mage. After applying -8 to all saving throws, most Thieves will be Slow'ed. Now, you will see the Slow effect taking place, revealing that Thieve's position. Then, go fishing with Skull Traps in that area. Most of the time, since they are Slow'ed, you'll be able to get quite a few of them. That's how I cleared out Improved Ilyich's thieves. Going fishing.

Now, if you're trying to take out the head of the Shadow Thieves with a level 10 party, then forget about my tactics.
