Another good approach is to summon cheap creatures, let them approach the illithi, then send in a well-protected (amulet of magical protection, boots of speed, etc) tank to administer lethal damage. Distract the illithi up close, and keep most of your party back far enough so the illithi can't mess with their minds. If you see one of those slow-moving effects coming from the illithi at a magically unprotected character, give 'em a pair of boots of speed and move 'em around as swiftly as possible to avoid being hit. In fact, you can use this as a tactical ploy, drawing the attention of illithi who cast at this party member.
