Are we all talking about illithi? The same guys who are almost completely resistant to all spell effects, even area spells? That's one tough battle, since they can't be easily harmed magically (check out their area in the Underdark), and tend to leech intelligence while casting high level charm and stun mental effects that can work on just about anybody. Hell, they even grabbed Viconia and turned her against me--once. I ended up using plenty of summoned critters, along with a specially prepped Keldorn (Korgan, when I did this with an evil/neutral party) loaded with mind-protecting amulets, boots of speed, etc.
Or has this battle been altered substantially when ToB was added? I've always played it before installing ToB.
