Help Me Kill A Psychic Beastie

We're going up against a psychic monster that trumps our magical abilities. Our DM uses the Psionics are Different rule, so one does not affect the other.

The beast is a combat monster, so we cannot attack it in melee without getting nailed and it automatically dispels incoming hostile maigc and has a limited ability to suppress magic in a wider area.

We hired a group of planar hunters who specialize in killing these things to whack it. However, we want to try some things on our own, in case we have to fight something similar later. The plan is to let the mercenaries engage the beast, then use our spellcasters to Wall of Stone all the exits closed. The clerics would then provide healing the mercs as they fell back, with the other characters using party-based spells or missile weapons.

Case in point: My Mystran priest is going to use a Limited Wish to try to punch through its magic-suppression ability, hoping to get a one-round window where we can cast spells directly at it.

Is there anything else we can do?

Thanks!

If the magic suppression ability is an anti-magic field, consider the Initiate of Mystra feat from Player's Guide to Faerun as it allows a level check (IIRC) to "punch through" an anti-magic field.

Alternatively, attack the terrain around it. Transmute rock to mud might be effective either below it or by dropping the ceiling on it. Earthquake could be useful under certain circumstances; control winds causing a tornado might also cause it some trouble.
