They had just taken a short rest, so the monk was good on ki.  The sorcerer and wizard had used a lot of cantrips, so they had some higher spells left.  The mind flayer arcanist came at them from 1 side and his octopins attacked from the rear.  In the end it was not too difficult, but that was because the mind flayer fluffed his attack roll with advantage on the stunned cleric.  No brains for the mind flayer, and the cleric shook it off and it was calamari for everyone.</p></blockquote><p></p>
