Burny stays back keeping to the rear and trying to keep rocks or other terrain between here and the illithids. Yao Pu keeps within sight of them, invisible and in his hawk form, though he is clearly sulking about the rescue. If it doesn't overextend her range, Burny sends her arcane eye to the other side of the little group of prisoners and guards to make sure no reinforcements are coming.
[ +- ] Visions of Realms/Arcane Eye
Range: 30', Duration: Conc, up to 1 hour
You create an Invisible, invulnerable eye within range that hovers for the duration. You mentally receive visual information from the eye, which can see in every direction. It also has Darkvision with a range of 30 feet.
As a Bonus Action, you can move the eye up to 30 feet in any direction. A solid barrier blocks the eye’s movement, but the eye can pass through an opening as small as 1 inch in diameter.

Burny runs through her summonings in her head and hits upon an Aberration. Intelligent, Immune to psychic damage, probably best to avoid giving psychic damage as well. Using her Gaze of Two Minds from the location the invisible flying Yao Pu, she summons a Grey Slaad just on the far side of the Illithid group and yells for it to attack the nearest Mind Flayer.

Finding a stalagmite to peek around, Kalafein creates a large hand of shimmering, translucent force before one of the illithid. The drow wizard mentally commands it to grasp and squeeze the mind flayer before ensuring the stagmite blocks him from their direct sight as he hoped rock would protect him from their mental assault.
Movement: behind stalagmite, 5 ft to create LoS, 5 ft to have cover. Just in case rock blocks an illithid's mental blast attack.

[ +- ] Bigby's Grasping Hand
You create a Large hand of shimmering, translucent force in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. The hand lasts for the spell's duration, and it moves at your command, mimicking the movements of your own hand.
The hand is an object that has AC 20 and hit points equal to your hit point maximum. If it drops to 0 hit points, the spell ends. It has a Strength of 26 (+8) and a Dexterity of 10 (+0). The hand doesn't fill its space.
When you cast the spell and as a bonus action on your subsequent turns, you can move the hand up to 60 feet and then cause one of the following effects with it.
The hand attempts to grapple a Huge or smaller creature within 5 feet of it. You use the hand's Strength score to resolve the grapple. If the target is Medium or smaller, you have advantage on the check. While the hand is grappling the target, you can use a bonus action to have the hand crush it. When you do so, the target takes bludgeoning damage equal to 2d6 + your spellcasting ability modifier.

The Slaad comes in and begins clawing at one of the Mind Flayers. One of those claw attacks makes the creature favor its left leg and, moments later, Bor slams his hammer right into the bleeding wound and the tentacled monster drops to the ground. Bor then sends one last hammer attack directly into the head of the Mind Flayer and it cracks open like a ripe pumpkin.
Ryo'fein drops behind a second of the creatures and one of his blades finds its kidneys making the creature keel over just in time for his second blade to slice through its neck. It drops to the ground bleeding out the last of its life blood.
Kalafein grabs the third Mind Flayer with his magic and the creature is squeezed tight. Its ribs begin to crack under the immense pressure of the magical hand holding it. Not all of your party has gone and already you have downed most of a group of one of the Drow's most dangerous foes.

The bolt crashes into the last Mindflayer and guides itself into his heart. He glows lightly for a few moments but, he's dead too. The prisoners all sit there staring blankly at your group. None of them have run likely still affected by the mental geas of the dead mind flayers.

Kalafein scans the illithid corpses for anything magically useful while he speaks to T'rissae, "One would think the recently freed prisoners to shake off their malaise sooner rather than later. Might anytime be done about that?"

Burny quickly sends Yao Pu out to scout around while others search the bodies.
She will sit and take a short rest out of sight of the rescued prisoners while everyone deals with the aftermath if that's possible.

Edit: If it would, he’ll cast it on Drathir.
