(Good thing you healed)

Alice ends up finishing off the giant blue slime with a thundershock.  Barely.  The party heals for 41 from Sessha's spell, and the blueflame wisps hit for minimal damage.  They're polished off collectively.  Another trample, a second heal, and two wave slashes finish off the wisps, who have pretty good health but aren't very capable of dealing damage.

The second heal brings everyone up to full, with MP counts as such:

Trence: 45/54
Willis: 37/37
Sessha: 46/58
Alice: 42/54

Looting, the cerulan slime drops sixteen gemstones and a platter-shaped disk of light metal.  The blueflame wisps drop a pair of emblems, a bronze fire one and a silver fire emblem.

16 gemstones from the Cerulean Slime.
Unknown metal platter.

Standing orders?  You're in reasonable shape, and are on the fifth floor of the Pits of Borlia.  Are you looking to head back up, further down, or avoid both and stay on this level?

[NJW2000]

Stay on this level.

We're pretty well-resourced, but floor six could be pretty serious.

[Devastator]

It ends up being an irrelevant question, as the very next room contains an encounter!

This one takes the form of a single creature, a medium-sized yellow thing with a long tail.  It's a bit fattish, but you can smell the ozone.  Very obviously electric.

"I'm not sure what this is, but it doesn't look too tough.  Very obviously an electric creature."

Facing one electric mammal of indeterminate species.  It is alone.

This room, as the party quickly discovers, reflects physical damage.

Trence hits himself twice, for 21 and 14 damage.

Willis shoots himself for 9 damage.

Sessha uses Dagger Throw, and her daggers hit herself for 30.

Alice uses Charge, and rides herself into 33 damage.

The smallish mammal uses Thunderbolt at Trence, hitting him for 19 damage, despite his heavy lightning resistance.

..Okay, going to need a different plan.

Just stand there and wait for the creature to attack us.

You know what... sure. I think just using spells to kill it might be the most straightforward way out of this, but let's try it.

Synthesis of the below ideas:

Trence: do nothing
Willis: Entangle
Sessha: Indignation
Alice: Hat Magic.

The party holds off.  Sessha buffs herself against magic, and Alice summons a second horse, besides Talent.

The weasel-like mammal charges up and launches a string of powerful electric bolts around itself, mostly at random, finishing with one extremely large bolt that is mostly directed towards the party.  It ends up hitting the duplicate Talent, for.. well, the duplicate does seem to inherit Alice's ++ lightning resistance, but it still takes 31 damage and is defeated.

Well, your defense didn't take any MP or have you suffer any damage, so you might be able to run this creature out of magic and force it to attack physically, but..
