A pair of lesser imps and a [[Lesser Hellboar]] will block your path, but they should be easy to defeat if you have both Lae'zel and Shadowheart as companions. One of the imps carries a light crossbow, the other a [[Scimitar]].

There are also lots of dead bodies on the floor, though none contain any notable loot. A dead thrall can be looted for a [[Leather Armour]] and [[Short Sword]], an imp for a [[Light Crossbow]], and two more thralls for Short Swords.

There is one plausible strategy for milking out even more XP from this room though, and that's killing Zhalk (along with all the minor minions in the room) just before the other two cambions appear.  This makes the mind flayer go hostile against you, saying "you are no longer needed," and you have to be careful not to be immediately killed by it.  If you get the timing just right, the two cambions should arrive right after that, after which the flayer will focus on them instead.  The cambions will easily kill it, providing your party XP as the killed flayer was a hostile.  (If the cambions arrive before Zhalk dies, the flayer doesn't turn hostile, thus its death doesn't provide you with XP.)

Note that nearing the console also makes another two lesser imps and another lesser hellboar appear, though these should be easy to kill or even just run past.  (If you've already milked Zhalk and the flayer for XP, you really don't need these minor guys on top of all that.)  Once you've reached the console, interact with it to start a cutscene and end the prologue.
