(@MuggsHill: The manglers moved in their turns, so Shai would have to move farther than you suggested.)
Shai goes for Ven's quiver, [Tooltip Not Found], hoping to take advantage of its temporary light. She then rushes toward the manglers as fast as she can {BG-24}, enveloping them in the magical light she now carries.
The manglers do not like Shai's taunt. One of them, in particular, unleashes a flurry of claws at her, while the other attacks in a more calculated manner this time:
Shai guesses the light might be having some sort of effect on them as their attacks don't seem to be as vicious as the ones that took Ven down. Then again, Ven was also enveloped in the light when he was killed... Nonetheless, some of the claw swipes are still fast enough to catch the monk. She reacts by throwing up a mystical shield, which catches all but one of the more accurate swipes. (Shai takes 11 slashing damage.)
Before Shai can even notice it (no opportunity attack triggered), the hurt mangler walks past her {BG-27}.
The conscious, afloat mind flayer changes its mind and rushes toward the portal. It makes sure to do so carefully, just in case. As soon as the illithid makes contact with the portal, it disappears. You can only surmise that it went to the Far Realm.
Its fallen brother remains on the ground. It is asleep but still alive.
(Kandalou, Vishnu, Quadere, Kalak, and Shai are up next.)
As the atacks come thick and fast Shai reaches within herself and calls forth a barrier of blue shimmering light Shield that absorbs most of the attacks, with only the last one having enough power to connect. (AC22 - damage reduced to 11HP only)
As the more reckless of the two manglers charges her down, Quadere points at the creature and speaks. "Diamsa." "Grovel." (DC 16 Wisdom save). She then moves her spiritual weapon to intercept, striking at the creature's advancing form.

Vishnu will move down to where she can see the mangler, dashing as a bonus action if she needs to. She'll then launch an arrow at the one next to Shai.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kandalou will rush to the nearest mangler.
((If he is able to get in melee range then he will switch to his longsword, but if he is not able to, then he will throw javelins. I'll make the rolls in the two spoilers below.))
Busy trying to avoid so many slashing claws Shai is unable to find an opportunity to strike as the Mangler advances toward Quadere, but as the shimmering shield dissipates a feral grin forms on her lips "My turn....." she continues to taunt her remaining opponent, launching a roundhouse side kick at the Mangler's head then using that momentum to deliver a spinning roundhouse kick, both strikes intent on stunning it (second one only if needed)
Kandalou seems a bit confused. He once again turns 180 degrees and decides to change battlefields. He moves to the southern end of the tunnel he is in {BD-33} but, as before, he is not quite fast enough to reach or see any of his enemies. With his javelin still in hand, he remains ready to throw it as soon as he sees an enemy.
Vishnu does something similar, but moves much faster and reaches the other tunnel {BH-35}. She can see the mangler moving towards Quadere and intercepts it with pinpoint accurate arrow to the left eye. The arrow remains stuck to the enemy's face, but the foe somehow remains upright in what can only be a freak placement of the projectile's metal tip within the mangler's cranium. (Mangler #1 takes 51 magical piercing damage.)
After Kalak sees one ilithid display its cowardice after temporarily incapacitating its comrade, he moves south to the commotion, utilizing his inborn teleportation (bonus action, Githyanki psionics).
Upon seeing Ven's broken body and the rest of the rrakkma engaging the likely culprits, he throws a fiery projectile at the closest threat.
Noticing that the mangler continues to advance toward her despite its injuries, Quadere shouts a command at it. I'll assume the command was given in Deep Speech. :)
The mangler looks confused at first, but then its expression changes to a determined one. Quadere does not wait for the enemy's full reaction, bringing her spiritual weapon around for another hit. (Mangler #1 takes 5 force damage.)
Kalak follows Vishnu's plan, though with his own flare. He reaches the other tunnel with a mix of running and teleporting {BG-35}. Once among his fellow gith, he launches a fiery mote at it and puts it down for good even before it has a chance to follow Quadere's orders. (Mangler #1 takes 14 fire damage and is DEFEATED.)
(@Hydra: Command only resolves on the target's next turn.)
Shai changes her focus to the remaining mangler. She taunts and kicks and taunts and kicks. Though it still hurts, the foe defends the first kick rather well. The same cannot be said about the second, which leaves the mangler dizzy. Shai does not slow down, landing a third kicks on the creature. (Mangler #2 takes 20 magical bludgeoning damage.)
(@MuggsHill: The Stunning Strike found purchase on the second attack, so be sure to deduct 2 Ki points please.)

@Lerus, yeah I know, but I figured better safe than sorry with only 19 health left.
Seeing that the last remaining enemy is stunned, Quadere calls her heavenly fire once again (auto fail saves, 19 damage) before sending her spiritual weapon to slide up next to Shai, , intent on finishing the job.
Vishnu rushes back into the north-south tunnel {BE-33} and crouches. She releases another arrow, which passes over Shai's shoulder and sinks into the mangler's clavicle. (Mangler #2 takes 24 magical piercing damage.)
Quadere sees her opportunity. With her left hand, she calls more radiant flames onto her foe. With her right hand, she commands her spiritual weapon to bring the enemy down. It is an impressive display, but the mangler somehow remains upright for now. (Mangler #2 takes 26 radiant and force damage.)
Kalak has had enough of this fight. He trows another fire bolt at the enemy and finally brings it down for good. (Mangler #2 takes 7 fire damage and is DEFEATED.)
At this point in time, the group notices that a gust of wind brings with it a sound from deeper within the dungeon (from behind the manglers.) It is the sound of quickly approaching steps.
(We'll remain in initiative for now as the sleepy mind flayer is still alive. Kandalou's and Shai's turns are still up.)
