From his position on the rope, swaying and waiting for the other in front of him to move further down, he will take three invisibility-sacrificing Eldritch Blast potshots on the visible mindflayer.
EB1: AR - 30, Damage: 7 force EB2: AR - 30, Damage: 10 force EB3: AR - 29, Damage: 8 force

(The elder brain is sixty feet directly away from the edge, thirty feet away from the mind flayer, a brine pool starts, and the elder brain is a normal elder brain in Etrus's eyes, and the Mind flayers are pretty normal, some have mutations, which is uncommon because normally those kind are killed (Mutations include five-three tentacles instead of the normal 4, three or more eyes, green tinged brains, and the like.))

All three eldritch blasts hit the Mindflayer, knocking it back a step.
OOC: Would you mind throwing this up in the campaign's VTT, so we can visualize how far we all are away from both baddies? I'm not sure if Musashi is within melee range of either the Elder Brain or the Mindflayer, so I'm not 100% of what my first action will be!

Musashi doesn’t hesitate. Seeing the Mind Flayer as the immediate wall between his allies and the deeper threat, he shifts his grip on his heavy maul. The metal of his boots sparks against the stone as he breaks into a dead sprint, covering the 30-foot gap in a blur of heavy plate and focused intent.
"Gail! Etrus!" Musashi’s voice booms, echoing off the damp cavern walls. "Keep your eyes on the big brain in the pool! I’ll take this squid’s head off before it tastes another thought!"
He reaches the creature and brings the massive iron head of the maul around in a relentless, three-part execution (OOC: woooo! 3 attacks per round now). He isn't just looking to hit it...he's looking to break its concentration...and its bones...permanently.
Movement: 30 feet to engage the Mind Flayer in melee
Maul Attack #1: 27 Damage: 13
Maul Attack #2: 26 Damage: 14
Maul Attack #3: 17 Damage: 14
NOTES for DM:
On the first successful hit, add +4 to the damage roll due to Great Weapon Master feat (this only impacts the first hit, and not all subsequent hits)
If the Mind Flayer attempts to disengage or move away after this, Musashi will use his reaction to strike and drop its speed to zero (Musashi's Sentinel feat)

Gail climbs 10 feet down the rope, then drops the rest of the way to the ledge (taking 6 falling damage). She then moves towards the mind flayer, using her Combat Superiority to lunge at the mind flayer as she slashed down with her battle axe, trying to knock it to the ground. She then switched to her Vicious Longsword to continue chopping at the (hopefully prone) Mind flayer in a effort to keep it from being able to attack again.
Move: 20' to climb down 10', then drop 10 feet (taking some damage), then moving towards mind flayer. Bonus Action: Manuver Lunging attack to dash and get bonus damage on next attack Attack 1: 17 to hit, 13+9=22 slashing damage, Combat mastery Topple: DC 21 STR check to avoid being knocked prone Attack 1: Equipping and Unequipping Weapons: stow battle axe Attack 2: Equipping and Unequipping Weapons: draw Vicious Longsword Attack 2: 25 to hit (same with advantage), 13+5=18 slashing damage, Combat mastery SAP: disadvantage on mind flayers next attack roll. Attack 3: 18 to hit (23 with advantage), 11+3=14 slashing damage If any attacks would be a miss, use Combat Superiority die for Precision attack (+6 to hit)
{Gail is dangerous when she gets going, especially with the 2024 rules allowing switching weapons between attacks}

The alive mind flayer becomes a dead mind flayer, as Gail turns them to paste
