Jarl's going to skirt south of the column he's behind and run as far in as he needs to to be within 30 feet of the mind flayer, then throw his Spreading Spores at it. Ideally, the 10' cube would not hit Brix. On the mind flayer's turn, that's a DC 16 CON save, or it takes 11 necrotic damage. He'll then use his movement and his action to dash as far back towards cover as he can.
Squiggles takes a deep breath, sweating from the exertion of the mind battle, and nervous about what he is about to do. Squiggles charges forward into the Globe to M13, knowing it's the best way he'll be able to help. Once inside he casts Greater Invisibility and moves again to L12

Enjoying the dark seclusion of the space between the pillar and the wall, Balian, in his stunned state, notices for the first time the presence of sparkly, shiny stars circling his head.
(legendary action) The mind-flayer incants and gestures again, launching three more bolts of magical force toward Celric, attempting to disrupt his concentration.
Total damage: 14
I realized that magic missile hits should cause three separate concentration saves, per Jeremy Crawford. I did this wrong last time.
Celric CON save #1: 20
Celric CON save #2: 21
Celric CON save #3: 18
But the cleric is locked in, and unfazed by the missiles.
Shale pulls out his staff and begins to charge toward the mind flayer, then notices the body of their friend on the ground. "Keep your nasty tentacles off that goblin!" He then points his shield in the air emblazoned with the symbol of his goddess. "Huntress! Preserve my friend's life!" (55 HP restored... Let us know how many to who)
Jarl skirts south of the column he's behind and runs toward the mind flayer, throwing a cloud of spoers at it. He then dashes back behind the column.
(On the mind-flayer's turn: DC 16 CON save or 11(?) damage)
post in progress...
Celric commands his spiritual weapon to attack. He then walks up to the mind flayer and opens his mouth, spewing fire all over the flayer.
CON save vs breath: 27
Whoops, should have been DEX, which makes the total 8, so a fail.
The creature nimbly dodges out of the way of the glowing hammer, only to be blasted in the face with fire (15 damage).
On its turn: DC 15 WIS save vs Spirit Guardians. 21 damage on fail, 10 on success.
(legendary action) The furious monster responds by lashing out at Celric with a tentacle, stunning and grappling the dragonborn cleric (24 psychic damage), causing the swirling spirits to dissipate. The mind-flayer grins evilly at Celric, tormenting him, knowing that although he cannot move or act, the adventurer is able to see what is going on.
Attack: 31 Damage: 19
Celric concentration save: 9
Celric INT save: 13
Brix, once again revived, stands up and attempts to repeat the maneuver that worked so well before, approaching the mind-flayer to try to grapple it, but this time without the benefit of rage-induced adrenaline, which he has depleted for the day.
Brix Athletics: 7
Mind-flayer Acrobatics: 6
The mind-flayer wriggles free of the tired barbarian's attempt. But Brix nonetheless follows up by trying to shove the creature prone.
Brix Athletics: 18
Mind-flayer Acrobatics: 23
This time he succeeds, as the mind-flayer falls to the ground.
Meanwhile, Flynt continues to be unable to break his mind out of its stunned state.
Squiggles takes a deep breath, sweating from the exertion of the mind battle, and nervous about what he is about to do. Squiggles charges forward into the Globe, knowing it's the best way he'll be able to help. Once inside he casts Greater Invisibility and moves again.
(legendary action) The mind-flayer watches as Squiggles vanishes from site and merely smiles, seemingly unperturbed by the change. Following the gnome with its eyes as he moves closer, he waits until he is within reach and then strikes with his tentacles.
Attack: 28 Damage: 18
However, the wily gnome seems to have anticipated this, feinting left and then moving right, causing the tentacle to lash right past him.
CON save vs spores: 13
The mind-flayer, lying prone on the ground, is beset by Jarl's cloud of spores. Normally easy for the creature to resist, in his present weakened state his body is unable to fully fend off the microorganisms, though his natural resistance mitigates the damage (5(?) damage).
It then stands, surveys the scene for a moment, and begins casting another spell; one that Squiggles is not able to identify...
As the gnome once again begins the familiar gesture to counter the mind-flayer's spell, the creature reacts with its own brief gesture, countering the counterspell! Resuming its incantation, it points a finger at the invisible gnome and casts power word stun at him, causing him to freeze up like so many of his companions. The mind-flayer then reaches into the gnome's bag and grabs the mabaran resonator and then steps west, out of the spore cloud, dragging the stunned and grappled Celric with it.
Map Errata: Brix should be one square down, at J13; and spirit guardians is gone.

"Oh no you don't, squid-face!" Shale drops his shield and runs over to the midflayer and tries to shove the monster away from his fellow cleric.
Athletics 11
The genasi then provides a wave of healing energy to all around him. "We could use another hand... Where the hell is Bailan?! Brix beat the hell out of him!"
Mass Heal Word 10 (extra 5HP for Shale)
(Move to K13, attempt shove to L11, if successful follow up shove by moving to K12. At end of movement cast Mass Healing Word level 3 )

Jarl is going to move within 30 feet of the mind flayer again (L18), and he's going to instruct the spores to move again. Seeing no way to hit the mind flayer without also hitting one of his allies, he's going to instruct them to avoid Celric, who's in more dire circumstances (sorry, Squiggles!). DC 16 CON save, or take 6 necrotic. He'll also take one of his magic stones, and throw it at the mind flayer as well. Attack: 18 Damage: 10 (2 stones remaining if anyone wants them).

An idiotic smile passes across Balian’s face as a wet patch forms at the front of his trouser, keeping him nice and warm.

Mind-flayer acrobatics vs shove: 15
The creature is unable to avoid the genasi's powerful hands, and is pushed into the water, releasing Celric in the process (who is now no longer stunned and can take a turn!)
(legendary action) The mind-flayer lashes out with a tentacle in retaliation at Shale, but cannot aim properly after being shoved into the water.
Attack: 13 Damage: 23

Seeing no way to hit the mind flayer without also hitting one of his allies, he instructs them to avoid Celric, who's in more dire circumstances. The spores seem to have no effect this time, however. He also takes one of his magic stones, and throws it at the mind flayer as well, but the throw is wide.
(legendary action) The mind-flayer, looking desperate now, strikes out at the fearsome Celric with a tentacle, trying to neutralize him once more, but as with his previous attempt on Shale, is unable to connect.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
“Here, use this one.” Celric says to Brix as he touches the most dangerous looking weapon on his person. magic weapon
Celric then looks at the creature. “You made a mistake today. No. You made several. Chief among them is messing with a warrior of the platinum dragon. Your soul belongs to him. Your body belongs to me.”
After Celric makes sure his new friend could fight and says some real cold hearted bad ass shit.
He steps over the Mind Flayer, looks down at him. "Remember this face, this is the face of fear, the face of heroism, the face, the face of a holy soldier of war. You have crossed me, you have crossed good, and you have crossed the platinum dragon."
Celric raises his hammerto the sky and points his shield at the face of the flayer. Holy light shines down onto the hammer and you can visibly see it pass through Celric's body from the hammer to the shield. On the front of the shield is etched, crudely, the symbol of bahamut, it lights up with holy energy and out bursts the head of the platinum dragon himself directly into the heart of the mind flayer leaving him scorched with holy light in the shape of bahamuts head having eating through his body.

Dazed and confused, Balian finally snaps out of his stupor. Rounding the pillar to bring the chamber into view, he sees the rest of the party congratulating each other, and the mindflayer floating in the water, presumably dead.
"What did I miss? Did we win?", the thief says, stumbling towards the others. He stops suddenly, sniffs, and looks down at his trousers. "And why do I smell of piss!? Brix! did you urinate on me again!?"
