Hm.. Have someone conjure a Mordy's Sword and send it in alone. The illithid will all fire psionic blasts, effectively wasting them. Meanwhile, you should be summoning everything you can with Jahiera, Edwin.. Edwina.. and Aerie if she has any spells like that. Skeleton Warriors and Mordy's Swords are very nice here, due to the Skellys' high magic resistance and the Mordys' mind shielding. Cast Chaotic Commands on every party member possible, and have Aerie and Edwina cast Stoneskin, and Jahiera cast Iron Skins. Then have Aerie and Jahiera cast Defensive Harmony... the point of all of that is that your party will be harder to hit and thus harder to be drained. Send in your summoned creatures first, and hang back and use ranged weapons, letting your beasties do the dirty work for you. Have fun!
