Btw, you all know where the enemy is, having heard the verbal component of the spell and seen the bead come down from A13. You're just too far away (except for Jarl) to see it based on the range of your darkvision.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Brix, drink this", Balian says, as he thrusts a Potion of Superior Healing into the goblin's hands. Turning, he runs to the pillar on the left side of the room, hoping that the 'thing' would still be concentrating on the group (Stealth roll 26)
Something in Shale's head pops again. "Whoa there. That's was uncalled for. I was... trying to help you get this thing back?" The genasi says rubbing the base of his skull. "Since you seem to be the cause of this undead trouble I suppose we can't be having that." The cleric slides into the pool next to Celric (U10) and reaches out a hand. "I hope this helps your condition too. It helped clear up my upset stomach." A wave of restorative energy comes to the dragonborn. Then Shale takes a breath before fully submerging.
"Best to stay at range for this one, too!" Jarl calls out. "Mindflayers find brains particularly delicious, where they decide not to control you instead." He uses his Symbiotic Entity wild shape to awaken his spores, giving himself 44 extra (temp) hp. He's going to move to the right, to V18.
Balian and Jarl see the mind-flayer begin to cast another spell (legendary action; Squiggles: it's mirror image)...
(if not countered), Balian and Jarl see three more mind-flayers appear, constantly moving and overlapping with the original one and making it difficult to discern where its body begins and ends.
“He’s not coming. We have do it on our blubblubblub” Celric emerges from the water. “Thank you brother.” He then stands. Takes the rest of his normal movement toward the monster (Q13) and casts spirit guardians at level 4.
Brix runs toward the source of the fire (to M6), growling in frustration that he can't reach the creature to smash its head in. He stows his shield in preparation to engage in ranged combat. He feels the adrenaline in his bloodstream starting to lessen (rage ends since he couldn't attack and didn't take damage), however he easily summons another burst of anger and gets the juices flowing again.
Seeing a fresh new target, the mind-flayer launches three darts of magical force toward Brix (legendary action; magic missile for 13 damage, halved to 5 due to rage)
Flynt is going to hold his sword forward and strike if anyone attacks him from the front.
Squiggles casts False Life at 4th level. He also sens a mental message to Fluffy to keep exploring so the water layout is understood. Scanning the ceiling, Squiggles looks for his foe.
Fluffy continues into the underwater passageway. Squiggles feels the telepathic link breaking as the octopus gets out of range.
The mind-flayer then steps off of its ledge and levitates down toward the ground, making it about half way (30' up, above B13 now).
You can post in any order; if order ends up mattering I'll resolve things in initiative order. Use a spoiler as usual if someone before you hasn't posted yet so they're not influenced by what will happen later.
Shale charges forward into the middle of the chamber near Celric (I think I can get to O12). Once again he calls upon his goddess to mend the wounds of all around him.
BA: Mass Healing Word (Lvl 3), 13 for all in range, additional 5 for Shale
The cleric then begins the preparations of a spell should the enemy come in his range.
Action: Ready Toll the Dead if it comes within 60', DC 16 WisST, 18 (uninjured) or 24 (injured) on fail
The shadows around the pillar on the west side of the chamber welcome the thief like an old friend. Hopefully this creature can't flood the room on a whim, he thought to himself.
Readying an arrow, Balian edges out from the pillar's safety and watches the form of the mindflayer distort and swim in the air. Frowning, Balian recalls the time he entered an archery competition blind-drunk, and tries to relax his eyes, not concentrating on the creature, instead looking for where the various images are on average, before loosing his arrow towards the target, and returning to his hiding spot.
Attack: 25
Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
Stealth (min 23): 31
Can't remember if I need to "re-hide", or if I'm good until I'm spotted.
OOC - To be honest, I get the dubious honor of rolling first when mirror image has been cast, so I'd rather waste my bad rolls on a shot where there's a good chance of me missing :)

OOC - Thought I was within 60' of it now?
Oh, yes, you are, Balian. I hadn't moved you yet on my map.
Edit: anal-retentive me had to edit this post to add the comma so it didn't look like I was saying "you are Balian!" which I assume you knew already

OOC - Although to be honest, not sure I want to be if all I get to see is a mindflayer with leprosy.
I think we've just got Flynt (and Brix) left to take an action this round, then I'll do the mind-flayers turn and do a big round update post

I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.

Mind Flayer (mirror image, levitation)

Recognizing the defensive spell of the Mind Flayer, Squiggles casts Counterspell and and wags a finger at the Mindflayer
The images that had started flitting around the mind-flayer dissipate as the spell is countered. The creature snarls, this time audibly.

Squiggles moves to T11 which should *just* get him within 120" and casts Fire Bolt at the Mind Flayer
Attack: 19 Damage: 15
Esker: Counterspell has a range of 60 so I erroneously used it last round.
Shale charges forward into the middle of the chamber near Celric (I think I can get to O12). Once again he calls upon his goddess to mend the wounds of all around him.
BA: Mass Healing Word (Lvl 3), 13 for all in range, additional 5 for Shale
The cleric then begins the preparations of a spell should the enemy come in his range.
Action: Ready Toll the Dead if it comes within 60', DC 16 WisST, 18 (uninjured) or 24 (injured) on fail
Reminder: Celric has Death Ward from earlier
Balian
The shadows around the pillar on the west side of the chamber welcome the thief like an old friend. Hopefully this creature can't flood the room on a whim, he thought to himself.
Readying an arrow, Balian edges out from the pillar's safety and watches the form of the mindflayer distort and swim in the air. Frowning, Balian recalls the time he entered an archery competition blind-drunk, and tries to relax his eyes, not concentrating on the creature, instead looking for where the various images are on average, before loosing his arrow towards the target, and returning to his hiding spot.

Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.

OoC: That is an impressively bad 7d6 roll
OOC - To be honest, I get the dubious honor of rolling first when mirror image has been cast, so I'd rather waste my bad rolls on a shot where there's a good chance of me missing :)
