which other party members do you have? You can kill the umberhulks with cloudkill (if your game = bugged you do some damage to the mindflayers as well) and I think that using the death spell works too.
Start weakening the mindflayers with ranged weapons and then attack with your (hasted) characters who have the highest INT score, mind flayers drain 4 points of INT with each hit (don't use Minsc with his 9 INT as first tank). Summoning monsters helps but they don't do much damage before they die except for skeleton warriors (animate undead with a lvl 15+ character, maybe you have a higher level cleric). If you still can't kill them try putting the difficulry level lower because your a bit low level for the Underdark.

BTW being lvl 12 in the Underdark is very hard! Try to do a couple more subquests before going to Brynlaw, most quests have no time limit even though they say you must do it quick, only the quests with an exact time given have a time limit,(e.g. 1 day, 1 hour etc) the next time you play (around lvl 14/15 is good (if you play for the first time?)).

EDIT: If you have a saved game from before entering the Illithid lair reload and leave the Underdark via the easy Kuo-Toa lair (if you want to go through Drow City) or you can use the big doors guarded by a party of Drow to go to the surface again and go to chapter 6 so you can do the Athkatla, windspear hills and all the quests (which you haven't done yet) you can do in chapter 2 or 3 quests.
